Heroes Names

[Opchip]

I think that the Heroes should be really more heroic if they have their real name. I'm not talking about the Dota 1 names, but of the names that Valve had given to each Hero.
Why must i call Troll Warlord with this stupid title? Why can't i call him: Jah'rakal?
It sounds really better for me, becouse i can feel his heroism. Troll Warlord can be every troll with good fighting skills, but there will be only one Jah'rakal.

This is the same even for:
Zharvakko, Witch Doctor
Mortred, Phantom Assassin
Naix, Lifestealer

Ecc..

I think this becouse of the meaning of the words that we call names of the heroes. How could you fell if your name is Phantom Assassin? I don't think really good.

Maybe, becouse i'm italian and i know english, but i don't have an english mind... But for me it could be better as i say.

I understand you're concept, but it's easier to type up thier allocated names and associate; few people have the time to say that Zharvakko is missing. And most people new to the game wouldn't know who those people are.

Plus the copyright.

You dont HAVE to call Jah'rakal Troll Warlord.

everyone already knows the current names, why go through all the trouble to learn new names which are difficult to write?

Ok, maybe Jah'rakal isn't the best example i admit xP But for Naix? Many people prefer to call him Naix instead of Lifestealer, but the name that the client display is still lifestealer.
Plus the copyright isn't a problem becouse there isn't no Drow Ranger or Traxex in Warcraft so i don't think that will be problematic if we refer to her as Traxex.

I know that the people know this names... but we really love them? There will be some problem if winrunner is now windranger? I don't think so.
