Creative dota hero

Khain, God's Right Hand by Beutrano

Theme: 11/20
Only the ultimate really feels Godly. Not having a story hurts. Passive skills never, ever go first.

Functionality of Abilities: 12/20
1st skill: 2/5
Smells like Team Spirit Nirvana Stout Shield. The two effects seem to do the same thing.
2nd skill: 5/5

3rd skill: 2/5
Knockback + Stun = Pissed off enemies. 450 range is massive.
Ultimate: 3/5
Okay, it's cool, but it reminds me a lot of Shallow Grave, and a three minute cooldown does not make this spell very useful.

Balance: 3/5
Knockback and Stun on skill 3 is way too much.
Overall presentation of the HI: 3/5
Most of it's colourful, but it kinda loses it towards the end. No real colour theme.
Total: 33/50

Daimyo, the Makrura King by Goblins


Theme: 20/20

Functionality of Abilities: 18/20
1st skill: 5/5

2nd skill: 5/5

3rd skill: 5/5

Ultimate: 3/5
The "adding 3 seconds to negative buffs" could be quite difficult to do, and at the very least, annoying.

Balance: 5/5

Overall presentation of the HI: 5/5

Total: 48/50

Li'l Timmy, the Demented Toymaster by Kodiak Teddy

Theme: 20/20

Functionality of Abilities: 17/20
1st skill: 3.5/5
Reminds me a bit of Toss. That can't really be helped. Cool skill, though.
2nd skill: 3.5/5
O hai, Storm Seeker! The Cooldown appears to be less than the duration for level 4; I don't know whether that was intentional or not, but it could make problems.
3rd skill: 5/5

Ultimate: 5/5


Balance: 4/5
It doesn't make sense, having highly melee-centric spells on a ranged Intelligence hero with abysmal Strength.

Overall presentation of the HI: 3/5
Colour scheme is kinda painful, but at least you have one.
Total: 44/50

Again, very complicated

Skvid's Lich guide

Skill Build - 9/10
About Frost Armour, will you still add it even if majority of opponents are spell casting based and are ranged? If just the slow is important and with aforementioned opponent heroes, would you just add 1 level of Armour?

Item Build - 17/25
What is Dagger used for? Before/after the nerf? Is it still viable now? Wards? When to buy them? Do I prioritise Wards over Mekansm/Soul booster? Can Lich really farm that much that Rf Orb and Shiva become available? Lich with Shiva is kinda redundant since he has a whole arsenal of slows and armour from both Mekansm and Frost armour.

Strategy - 19/30

Early game- He can gank well, why not? No wards early? On laning, besides the harassing with Nova, what about normal attacks? Should I last hit or should I let my partner have the creeps?

Mid game- If you're using Dagger, when to use it? Push or not when you have the chance?

Late game- What do I do in huge clashes? When to cast Chain Frost when there are sooooo many units around? Which hero gets Frost armour priority? Spamming Mekansm whenever possible? I don't think so.

Good allies/Bad enemies section too general.

Replays-

Presentation - 3/10

The sections are jumbled up with items in strategy and strategy in items. Rune guide pops out of no where. Some parts can be summarised better.

Extra - 5/15

Rather inactive. Hasn't been updated in a while. Rune/ward guides + screens are quite well done.

Total - 53/90 > 59%

Baconzilla and Somefella's guide to Skeleton King

Skill build - 10/10 I can't find anything to pick on. Item Build - 22/25 No, no. Satanic is just pure lameness on Leoric. As extension item there are so many better items than Satanic. You have stated BoT > Treads in every way so I believe just stick with BoT. Strategy - 26/30 Redundant stuff in techniques. Get all the runes? What about farming? Getting ganked-you're saying to fight until there's 3 heroes then retreat? I understand what you mean but to some it may appear so and clarification is needed. Replays - 8/10 Professional replays, what can I say? Just get a self replay >_> Presentation - 9/10 Hmm.. Some parts are too Spartan for me to handle. Too much Sparta, seriously. Extra - 13/15 Well maybe at least one screen can do >_>. Other than that it's very nice. Total – 88/10
