how do you NOT see his black skin swag?

he's pretty dark. couple that with the deep, rich voice. I always thought he was, but didn't know if anyone else saw what I was seeing.

I always thought he was white or maybe a very tanned Hawaiian

and watch everyone yell at you.

Nah just tell them your new, and then press R to save everyone, it's even easier then using Meka cause you don't have to position yourself.

Isn't Anti-mage black?
Or is he hispanic?

I always thought he was like Vietnamese, or some type of South East Asian, maybe Indonesian?

 

[Exuro]

Isn't Anti-mage black?

He's indian. Or I guess by lore he's Turstarkuri-ian

 

[1.09]

He's indian.

I have never seen Anti-mage break into song and dance and change outfits 100 times. Nor is he a doctor. Sorry beta, but I'm pretty sure he's Indonesian

 

[Haly]

Face is too long for a typical southeast asian.

 

[HK-47]

A bad Lich ulti isn't anywhere near as bad as swapping an imitator into your team, or swapping the carry so you can escape.

Regardless its not a big deal. Everyone fucks up. Newbies can learn with a Venge.

winnar. lol

naaaaaaaah. not with that complexion, voice and nose. but who knows? he can be whatever you'd like. I'm still tripped out that there's a brotha named "Chen" in the game. And he talks like a Detroit preacher. lol.

 

[HK-47]

every time i hear dragon knight talk, feels like hl2 vortagons talking to me.

Same VA

He speaks like a knight...sounds European to me.

grammar and diction only infers colonization.

 

[Haly]

So black guys can't be knights now?

Racist.

You make a point.

Racist.

So European's can't be black? Who's the racist now?

And voiced by a white guy

 

[Artanisix]

Antimage looks blazian to me.

Antimage looks blazian to me.

Maybe he's Brasilian Japanese?

 

[Holden]

Same VA

ya i know, just feels weird, same for tinker//Dr.Kleiner D:

 

[Dreams-Visions]

And voiced by a white guy

yes, that much is clear. but all things were assembled together for a reason. dark skin, big nose, deep voice actor selected. these things to not add up to "white guy". but again, if that makes people more comfortable or if that's what is preferred (or hell, if his "Lore" says it is the case), then that's that. whatever makes you happy.

My assumption was that he was a black guy. Doesn't matter to me either way, but that was my impression.

 

[Sanjay]

So black guys can't be knights now?

Racist.

They can't because as well know from Hollywood, blacks were not discovered until after the medieval ages.

And Antimage is British Asian.

 

[Taborcarn]

So which unreleased character do we think Nolan North is going to voice?

 

[Haly]

So European's can't be black? Who's the racist now?

Touche!

Isn't antimage a Dark Elf? Saying he's black is like saying Furion is a green dude.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

*looks for dark skin; finds none*

I guess he could be a really light brotha, if you with.

Isn't antimage a Dark Elf? Saying he's black is like saying Furion is a green dude.

let's not get carried away. "black" encompasses a range of complexions.

not that any of this matters.

 

[Togglesworlh]

man server downtime has really gotten to you people, hasn't it

Isn't antimage a Dark Elf? Saying he's black is like saying Furion is a green dude.

he was in wc3-dota... but this is dota 2, and he's clearly human (or much closer to human than an elf with pointy ears)

not casting enough Q

 

[Technosteve]

Just play Lich for your first 30 games. Learn to ward so you while you feed, you aren't totally useless.

Then play Tidehunter and keep warding and let your team know when your ult is up and have someone tell you went to use it.

Don't play any heroes from Agility or any characters from Int who aren't Lich for your first 50 games. Always buy the Courier or buy wards. And buy (and place) Observer Wards all game, every game.

Tide Hunter is so boring to play but he is extremely noob friendly.

 

[Togglesworlh]

Tidehunter is fun. Get outta here, nerd.

 

[SillyEskimo]

I was just accepted into the beta. I don't even recall opting into the beta. Oh well! I may be the perfect beta tester because I don't know jack about these types of games. Maybe I'll be able to give some feeedback from a newb's perspective. I'm optimistic about the game and what I can contribute to the beta phase.

Yeah there's not much to him.

To be honest I only really like him once I get Blink Dagger. Also, for a while I built him with Power Treads. Mistake. Getting Arcane Boots ASAP makes him way more fun with spammable abilities.

 

[Artanisix]

Anyone who thinks Skeleton King is boring MUST DIE AT THE HANDS OF THE KING OF BONES.

 

[Drkirby]

Well, doubt the servers will be back up before work, maybe when I get home! Or in the morning! Or next week!

 

[Uriah]

Any word on when the servers will be back up?

 

[Sibylus]

I thought you initiate with Ravage?

If you've a Blink Dagger or the opportunity, yes. Worth noting that you can often tank up enough damage to Ravage after the fight has already started, which can be really key if you hit 4-5 people with it. Play it by ear.

 

[Drkirby]

Any word on when the servers will be back up?

Nope.

 

[Tenck]

Any word on when the servers will be back up?

11am PT Wednesday Valve Time, so probably some time this lifetime.

 

[Filth]

servers seem to be back, im watching live games

 

[Sothpaw]

Back online.
