I'm pretty sure broodmother is still first ban session worthy in competitive dota.

Just curious if this is trolling/sarcasm or a litigimate comment. If the later, I'm curious to hear an explaination.

Havn't played DotA since her pushing was nerfed, still OP?
Webs now affect spiderlings, she's stronger than ever before.
Fantastic. This is why I have great faith in DotA2, with IceFrog the god of balancing.

Yes, I'm still working on Arachnus, a little stuck on a couple things, how to do his last 4 legs, and whether or not I should create some web armor for the model or leave it to textures. Suggestions are welcome.

He definitly needs a modeled web armor!

And at least 6 more legs! He is Arachnus after all! He is not content with the number of legs a mere peon spider has!

Well I was going to use a set of legs as arms to launch webs so maybe he'll get a couple more, we'll have to see.

Less mod wars more valid suggestions, if you're going to remove anything remove the DotA related posts.

It was a bit of both, I guess. BM has great synergies between her skills and at least 3 very different ways to be played with very different item builds, and really subtle gameplay elements that can drastically change your performance.

Some friends made me aware of this, and decided that I should make a post here.

I am the creator of the idea of Arachnus, the Lord of Webs. As you can see here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdnYMW-ZP0k

I was at San Diego Comic Con this year trying to pitch my idea for Arachnus to League of Legends. I made friends with some people in a line and they recorded their conversation with me and posted it on YouTube. Since then, 19,000 people have watched the video. Also, I submitted my idea to the League of Legends forum, here:

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/sho ... ?t=1020986

While I appreciate that my idea has been shared with many people on the internet and some people have been so influenced to consider adding it to their Warcraft 3 map, I feel like it should bother me that two people who are not me are claiming credit for my idea. I would have preferred to be asked for permission to use it and given credit.

Its a joke, yak doesnt put heroes from the suggestions in the game. It is a wonderful hero suggestion, and its sucks that LoL wouldnt implement it since it is better than 90% of their heroes.

Dude, like 4 people view these forums, my bad. I just wanted to mess with Yak, I showed him the video after he first viewed the suggestion. I don't want to steal any credit from you.

Pretty sure we all knew they stole it from somewhere, no way they could come up with such a quality idea on thier own.

The piano playing is a pretty good addition though.

I would also like to throw in there that nobody has really taken credit or gained anything out of this idea in a EotA standpoint, and if it were to be put into the game its creator would have been given the credit for the hero concept. The only person who has the power of adding anything into the game knew very well where the idea of Arachnus came from.
