5 Hero Personas that players would love to see in Dota 2

1) Pirate captain Kunkka

Kunkka, the Admiral, already stands for the sea, but you can now consider him as a pirate captain, swashbuckling. This kind of persona will manifest itself in a rugged and roguish appearance.

The pirate could wear a weathered tricorne hat that flows with his coating, with a parrot sitting on his shoulder, and send real pirate ships instead of a ghost fleet. The voice lines could be adjusted to a more confident and more rebellious tone, giving a new appreciated marine flavor to this character.

2) Steampunk inventor Tinker

A steampunk theme could use Tinker's technology-based powers to perfect effect. Picture Tinker dressed up as Victorian-era Tinker with brass goggles, a leather working apron, and equipment with a series of intricate steam-powered gadgets.

His skill, Rearm, could get redesigned to look like a big steampunk construct, puffing steam and clicking gears. This character design would give the feel of the hero being "vintage industrial."

3) Samurai Juggernaut

Juggernaut is already a skillful swordsman, but a samurai persona can help him rise to the legendary level of a feudal Japanese warrior. This agile Dota 2 carry with traditional armor and a historically authentic katana could be a representation of pure honor and discipline.

His first skill, Blade Fury, could be reimagined with a classic samurai-themed umbrella and Omnislash could be more cinematic with each strike. This character skin should be interesting to anyone who combines an interest in a tough role and a very unique cultural theme.

4) Cyberpunk Shadow Fiend

Shadow Fiend, with his dark powers of reaping souls, would make for a pretty appealing and interesting cyberpunk anti-hero. A persona of this hero can be imagined in neon-lit and stylish, with cybernetic enhancements and a futuristic design.

His razes could emit vibrant neon energy and his ultimate, Requiem of Souls, could blend dark visuals and sound effects with flashy futuristic elements. This persona would be perfect for fans of the cyberpunk genre and mysterious edgy characters.

5) Space marine Axe

Axe, a typical brute force warrior, can be reimagined into a space marine of the future. This character skin could gear up Axe with advanced armor, a very visor-like helmet, and a huge, energy-infused axe.

His taunts and battle cries could contain remnants of interstellar elements and high-technology effects. Mixing Axe's classic aggression with this sci-fi element is a sure win for fans who love futuristic and action-filled themes.
