From KoTL light and stars, birth some of the Star Gods and wished to stop the Darkness/Chaos aka CK because they believe its better without it. They forged and make Valora and tasked to stop the Chaos but its hard, so They tell her to kill another fundamental in which is also WAY stronger than the first 2 so yah, IO slapped The Stars killing every single one of those leavibg Valora floating in space and there's Enigma, writting false books just to lure some curious alchemist and wizards only to turn them into his slaves for whatever reasons
@@6Unknown_Source9 Iirc, Valora was tasked to stop Chaos and kill creatures like Balanar, beings who thrive under the primordial night. They also tasked Valora with retrieving IO, not killing him as they believe that through IO will they be able to bind Chaos forever. No one in the Children of the Light expected that a literal ball would snuff them out of existence and because Valora is connected to them, she just died out like a phone that was out of battery, spiraling out into the cosmos.
All jokes aside, this is why in my opinion, the way the dota anime story was told was not appropriate (although it was a great series tbf) Dota's stories should be told in black mirror kind of way. an anthology makes waaaay more sense with story arcs just sometimes casually crossing paths with each other. it's way too complex to encapsulate in a hero-beats-villain kind of way. hopefully there will be no book 4 of dragon's blood. I would like to see the next story. like PA's tragic story, or PL, or jugg. or maybe some brutal r18 story such as Mogul Khan's murder of his own army. maybe even answer the age old question of "is mercurial really mortred?"
@@ragingtomato04 you can consider it canon or not canon if you will, but everything that has ever happened in the story of Dota is canon due to every match occuring in different timelines
@@ragingtomato04 what i do consider canon is the story of terrorblade. I have no idea if its actually legit or who even made it, but that was amazing to watch. Pretty old video.
Dota 2 lore is absolutely insane. This is why the anime series is less popular than Arcane of league. It requires a lot of context since ingame itself there's Gods, Demons, Primordial Entity, Aliens etc. With only a few of humanlike heroes. Even so they can't just put human together to fight against evil since all of their motives are different from each other. Maybe dota will will do better in mini series to seek a glimpse of heroes past because uniting heroes together is very hard to do
The anime was less popular because it was bad, not because it was complicated. It didn't even go that much into Dota lore because the writer and team behind it had no idea what Dota was.
Arcane was a good show, because the just picked a subset of characters and locations from LoL's lore and crafted a story around that. Dota tried too much, with very shaky pacing.
@@MoreImbaThanYou The only stuff shared between Dragon's Blood and DOTA are the character names. The lead writer admitted on Reddit to picking generic characters like Mirana and Dragon Knight that fit into the archetypes he already wrote rather than actually learning what the characters in Dota actually had going for them.
@@TZAR_POTATO Yes and no. Dragon's Blood is just among the other universes that Dota2 (the game) references, and serves to expand on existing lore. One of the references of the game that is in the show is when Terrorblade showed Invoker is various incarnations, and these include his Default skin and the Dark Arts skin. And references of the show that is in the game is when Dragon Knight and Mirana Persona interact with Mirana and Dragon Knight, respectively (makes more sense if it was a default model they interacted), because they both say that they are not their Mirana/Dragon Knight, which supplements the story in the show, and made more sense if it was the default model because those two have never interacted these versions. And those Dragon's Blood persona skins have additional lore to give to certain heroes they interact with like Dragon Knight talking about Wei (Anti-Mage's persona) and Marci's friendship.
@@Magicwaterz You may provide evidence that the show is cannon, but the show makers themselves said it's not cannon. When the show creators say so... I just gotta side with them on this one.

You gotta do updates for future heroes. Maybe when 5 new heroes are out just to extend the watch time. So, far as of typing this, one will be released.
@@TZAR_POTATO Man, I kinda liked the idea of Visage being the Grim Reaper in a nutshell but with Muerta being released, it kinda cancels that since she met Death, which is also commonly known as the Grim Reaper. Its also hilarious that Muerta and Death played Artifact, which made Death quit from playing the game, which in turn made that game IRL dead.
@@Magicwaterz Even though she met death, she didnt tell us what his name is or what he looked like. So, the fact is she just met visage. The poem says death is a bone rider with guns, but muerta says in her responses that you shouldn't believe everything in the fables about her.
@@Magicwaterz if you readd visage's lore, he's the gargoyle of necrolic, tasked with hunting down the spirits of the dead that try and escape their fate and the afterlife. So, when muerta is DEAD but refused to DIE, who does she meet? The grim reaper, death... aka visage.
this is a very nice video!! only i think you should have added the hero name somewhere for people who are still figuring them out and want to learn! sometimes it could be hard to tell some of them apart with cosmetic items equipped
Sorry, the video was meant for dota players, so I didn't think to add icons or names to stuff. I do have other videos meant for non-dota players though!
Bounty Hunter is Deathstroke. Bounty Hunter, as his name suggests, is a mercenary, he takes any job that pays good. I don't think describing him as "detective" would be appropriate.

Sort of, she has an obsession with death, which borders on yandere, and since at this time, the grim reaper was the closest representation of death, yeah it fit
Medusa in dota has a different story than in Greek myths. In the original myths, due to sexism of old times, she was seen as the villain even though she did nothing wrong. Meanwhile in dota she's a hero who gives up her beauty for power to avenge her sisters. Also, weaver is way above a god of the universe. He weaves reality. In fact in his story it says that the babies of the creatures he defends reality from can quickly devour universes.
Medusa might have different lore but it's still the same medusa, just a different retelling. As for weaver, making reality should qualify you as a god.
The Medusa myth can vary wildly depending on the version you're being told. All of the versions say at least that Medusa was a beautiful priest of Athena, who was at some point r4ped by Poseidon inside the temple she was part of, then was made into a half-snake, half-human monster who turns every man who looks at her into stone, making the Medusa myth a cautionary tale about the gods being unpredictable and depraved maniacs. Other versions add more context though, with one of them stating that the priestess Medusa prided herself in her beauty - that she, in fact believed herself to be more beautiful than the goddess Athena herself. To prove this, she decided to seduce the gods, for if she managed to entice one of the gods, that would mean that she was more beautiful than anyone else. This worked well. Too well, in fact, because at some point, Poseidon appeared before her and r4ped her in the shrine, all the while with Medusa pleading to Athena to save her from Poseidon and anyone else. Athena accepted her plea, and saved her by transforming her into a half-snake, half-human monster so hideous that any man or woman who looked at her would be turned into stone from the shock. I think this latter version is better because it sounds more believable.
I've always thought that the killing instincts and desires of the heroes are amplified by the Ancients to aid them in trying to destroy each other. Basically, each hero that participates in the war is revived over and over again until one or both Ancients are dead.

I know a few character's lore and this is actually so accurate lmao, loved this
Wow so lots of psychopaths battling it out in dota
Aren't we all ;)
@@TZAR_POTATO for sure 😂
the bristle line indeed reminds me of dota 2 reporter :D
"I'VE GOT BRISTLES. ON ME BACK."

Chaos knight and juggernaut had me rolling
Can't wait for the item comparison video!
You can re upload the video after ringmaster and with new sentence's
for sniper unless the lore changed you could say "too good to play with friends, not good enough to go pro" or something about exile

Bear. VENGEANCE.
I remeber there hint about Leshrac knows he's in the game
Technically. Every Game is part of Canon. So it's not that 4th wall breaking considering characters like Arc Warden and Void Spirit are prepping for when a game is won/lost.
the most phylosophical hero of all.... i didnt know i would say this, but... nightstalker is way more ironic and complex while being simple at the same time XD ... a vampire that wants to kill the sun
4:44 lorax
BEAR. VENGEANCE.
Because of dragon's blood I now know that there's magic for humanoid transformation thanks to Wyvern. I wonder how brood looks if she uses it tho.
the head cannon gossip is so real between dota players XD
Dragon's blood needs more seasons which includes every Hero
No. Not every hero. But, if it was as silly and fun as crownfall, I'd be happy.
7:50 the most normal lore a normal person could wish for.

going after siractionslacks' job?
You gotta do updates for future heroes. Maybe when 5 new heroes are out just to extend the watch time. So, far as of typing this, one will be released.
We'll see! could be fun... but honestly, I want valve to just rewrite 3/4 of the dota lore already and make it consistent. the shit's a fever dream
@@TZAR_POTATO Man, I kinda liked the idea of Visage being the Grim Reaper in a nutshell but with Muerta being released, it kinda cancels that since she met Death, which is also commonly known as the Grim Reaper.
Its also hilarious that Muerta and Death played Artifact, which made Death quit from playing the game, which in turn made that game IRL dead.
@@Magicwaterz Even though she met death, she didnt tell us what his name is or what he looked like. So, the fact is she just met visage.
The poem says death is a bone rider with guns, but muerta says in her responses that you shouldn't believe everything in the fables about her.
@@TZAR_POTATO Hmm... I smell a potential Arcana for Visage to reflect this.
@@Magicwaterz if you readd visage's lore, he's the gargoyle of necrolic, tasked with hunting down the spirits of the dead that try and escape their fate and the afterlife. So, when muerta is DEAD but refused to DIE, who does she meet? The grim reaper, death... aka visage.
this is a very nice video!!
only i think you should have added the hero name somewhere for people who are still figuring them out and want to learn! sometimes it could be hard to tell some of them apart with cosmetic items equipped
Sorry, the video was meant for dota players, so I didn't think to add icons or names to stuff. I do have other videos meant for non-dota players though!
Bane is top notch described
BEAR VENGEANCE
Sooo, is Bounty hunter Batman of Dota universe?
well, batman is rich by birthright, while bounty hunter is rich by obsession. Other than that, he is a pretty close fit yeah!
Bounty Hunter is Deathstroke.
Bounty Hunter, as his name suggests, is a mercenary, he takes any job that pays good.
I don't think describing him as "detective" would be appropriate.
PEBBLE!

Zeus has no rest. He got beat up in god of war 3 by kratos and now in dota the roman god of war is here to fight him 😂
You mean the Greek god of war, right? Get your lore right, Ares is greek.
@@TZAR_POTATO no I mean in the God of war series ares was the Greek god of war but kratos who was a mortal killed ares and became the god of war. I was talking about the game, not the actual Greek mythology.
I don't know about Kratos, but in Dota 2 Ares is greek. @@Lastofhiskind-00
@@TZAR_POTATO Ares in mythology is also Greek and I'm not a troll I just thought you'd know about God of war
@@TZAR_POTATO I guess most dota players don't really know anything about other games sad
Shadow Demon seems pretty inaccurate IMO. My man was so strong that he was the big brother. Lil bro Lucifer had to call all his homies up to team up and kill shadow demon, but even then they failed.
the items in dota is so diverse in stats rather than League
offensive defensive items

can you add the other items i don't know what's what anymore but I'm quite confident of my placements of the items.

@@alkaline8608 D: not something you should mention online!
@@TZAR_POTATO just a joke
wait dp has a crush on visage?
Sort of, she has an obsession with death, which borders on yandere, and since at this time, the grim reaper was the closest representation of death, yeah it fit
This is the perfect video to just let other dota2 players listen to, not seeing the hero, and them guessing which hero it is lmao
hehe. i mean, it's all alphabetical though,
I HAD A GOOD LAUGH BRO. THANKS

Thanks for the video
@@emilandersen8628 thank you for watching it!

Medusa in dota has a different story than in Greek myths. In the original myths, due to sexism of old times, she was seen as the villain even though she did nothing wrong. Meanwhile in dota she's a hero who gives up her beauty for power to avenge her sisters.
Also, weaver is way above a god of the universe. He weaves reality. In fact in his story it says that the babies of the creatures he defends reality from can quickly devour universes.
Medusa might have different lore but it's still the same medusa, just a different retelling. As for weaver, making reality should qualify you as a god.
The Medusa myth can vary wildly depending on the version you're being told. All of the versions say at least that Medusa was a beautiful priest of Athena, who was at some point r4ped by Poseidon inside the temple she was part of, then was made into a half-snake, half-human monster who turns every man who looks at her into stone, making the Medusa myth a cautionary tale about the gods being unpredictable and depraved maniacs.
Other versions add more context though, with one of them stating that the priestess Medusa prided herself in her beauty - that she, in fact believed herself to be more beautiful than the goddess Athena herself. To prove this, she decided to seduce the gods, for if she managed to entice one of the gods, that would mean that she was more beautiful than anyone else. This worked well. Too well, in fact, because at some point, Poseidon appeared before her and r4ped her in the shrine, all the while with Medusa pleading to Athena to save her from Poseidon and anyone else. Athena accepted her plea, and saved her by transforming her into a half-snake, half-human monster so hideous that any man or woman who looked at her would be turned into stone from the shock. I think this latter version is better because it sounds more believable.
lmfao due to sexism🤣🤣
@@crushedscouter9522 I didn't have a better way to explain it lol. She was accused of being a whore when she was the one who got raped.
A decent chunk of Dota is wizzards doing wonky shit!
Or dead parents
So basically all heroes are sociopaths, selfish, bad/evil. No one is actually a good guy?
define "good guy".
I guess Visage the grim reaper is a good guy? Or prince rikimaru?
@Omvi Lya maybe, yeah? He's just looking for beers to sample
I've always thought that the killing instincts and desires of the heroes are amplified by the Ancients to aid them in trying to destroy each other. Basically, each hero that participates in the war is revived over and over again until one or both Ancients are dead.
Ursa is actually a good guy and a good father/alpha. He only wants to protect his family and the enviroment he lives in
Wait Mars is Ares, I thought he was Hercules.
Nope, just Ares.
7:07 this can be a legit anime title ngl
Pugna is the Dalai Lama of dota2 universe. The baby who choose the toys from pile that the last Dalai Lama played with as a child becomes the successor, some baby did but 13 month old Pugna blew him to pieces and reclaimed his wand and amulet

im waiting

Wish you included the personas
@@Starryeyeddreamer2001 I didn't include any skin lore.
I was waiting for weaver if you fuck it up, and you did. Instantly made all others invalid.
Weaver created the entire dota universe, including all other gods, and the stones and everything, literally everything thats in dota is made by him or stuff made by him at some point.
Exactly! But, he didn't make all realities. Other universes are the realm of the other Weavers.
