if you're wondering why there releasing Sun Wu Kong it's because this year because its the year of the MONKEY next year is the year of the flaming rooster
"Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A warrior. An animal. A trickster. Out of all the names I've been called, one has always remained my favorite: King."
bird and whirling axe???unless he good at buy smoke then transform dust wouldnt do a thing especially jump tree and transform give him sight and ward cant detect him
got a better idea against mk???the warding place is so mess up and ward on ground cant detect mk on tree unless u get ns\keeper with aghanim which is already too late for fat mk...phoenix also good btw
the mk ulti is fucking retarded...i think it gives him immunity from damage during his opening of his ulti(juz damage not immunity from stun or root)... i even had a game where i play axe and ulti him during his ulti(his hp is fucking low)...it deals no damage...seriously i think u guys shud watch out for it
"Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A flopper. A cry baby. A choker. But one always remains my favourite: King" *- LeBron James*
from the start, saying "thot" to me wasnt logical in the first place. And he just called a 13 year old a thot, youre the one who based off acuusations from what im saying, you didnt even look deep into it, but then again why would you?
what balance..? from what I remember dota 2 is balance.. If u say that many heroes can easily win the game then u're a fucking noob and doesnt have the word COUNTERPICK in your little brain.. If u even have a brain.
So DotA 2 finally caved in and introduced Son Wukong as a new hero too, I see lmao Smite, Hon, LoL, and now DotA 2. Four MOBAS with Son Wukong from the Chinese folklore Journey to the West. This ape has been an inspiration for the four lmao
I'm thinking he has a skill that gives true strike for a certain amount of time, cuz he would be OP if he has a passive that grants true strike *PA and WR on vacation forever*
Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things; a warrior, an animal, a trickster, of all the names I've been called; one has always been my favorite; king.
Monkey King is not really a "King", just like how A-God (Ana or Arteezy) are not "Gods". Chinese literatures have a tendency to attach those words for dramatic effect. In the original novel, MK is actually a trickster, so him having a more clown-like VA is perfect for him.
@@OHOHOHCOME Monkey King still counts as the King of monkeys and later become a true battle god in the novel so I do think it would be refreshing to have a king-like voiceover for MK with just a tad of mischief voice. Meanwhile, A-God is just an abbreviation of god-like gamer from Chinese and there is nothing to do with dramatic effect.
From the trailer alone, I suspect he'll have an ability where he'll replace an entire Minion Wave of just him. I think that'd be a pretty cool ability while sacrificing lane pressure for an army during a teamfight... maybe? I can see somethin fun out of it.
Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A warrior, an animal, the trickster. But of all the names I've been called, one is always remain my favorite, "King".
I actually hope he can summon his companions from Journey to the West, or have them be separate heroes instead, cause that would be pretty darn awesome if he can.
what moves the monkey king i think will have off this trailer 1.a simple aoe stun with his stick 0:10 2. some kind of speed boost and invisibility in trees 0:16 3. for his ult he get some fake monkey kings to help him fight 0:31
I think MK being able to dupe himself is based on some Chinese myth of some sort, I think I've see it from a cartoon or tv show before, using hair to make some clones.
ok league, even though dota didn't steal wukong, lets just say we did. Lets just remind ourselves of some of the heroes you stole ( theres more but can't remember of the top of my head) Warwick:bloodseeker ashe:drow ranger teemo:techies elise:broodmother evelynn:riki poppy:lone druid ezreal: skywrath thresh? (not sure his name):pudge garen:sven. Stfu lol players
Well, prettymuch most (if not all) League champions are originated from DotA Allstars. Let me remind you that the original creators of LoL had come from DotA AS as well as Icefrog (creator of DOTA 2)
I play both games and they both have unique characters.. design wise? maybe ashe and drow.. but skill wise? nope.. they all play too different to say that this game copied this game.. so stfu and stop calling yourself a gamer for being too biased for 1 game.. league is not HoN which just blatantly rips off characters from the father of moba..
+raidendt because riot is being tryharding in changing champion skillsets to differentiate each other, even though each time they release new champions they created another better version of existing champion. which might indicate the main point of them changing champs skillsets is just to make it seems different even more from dota allstar heroes
At last, 5 years have to pass, to see a Hero trailer cinematic from Valve. This is amazing work, i hope i realy hope that well see more cinematics like this for all the entire character of Dota 2 and future incoming chars.
The Monkey king is a Chinese myth So is Zeus he is a myth ( seen him in ALOT of games ) so is Medusa she is a myth too (seen her in lots mmorpg games like Silkroad online and other ) Why everyone right now pissed cause game companys using myths in games that other game companys use
So new hero coming out in two months, along with already anticipated Pit Lord. Time for some guesswork! From what I make of the trailer, he looks to be an agility based carry/utility hero. There can be one of the two ultimates. Either PL's old illusion skill. Or its an AOE based stun (the scene where he slams the staff to the ground). He also looks to be using trees to move around, and I don't think that was just for the trailer. Maybe that's his mobility? Two things I can think of. Short jump ability from one tree to other with a cool down of 5 seconds (like blink or time walk), OR, instead of mobility, it's a passive, that makes him gain move speed when very close (like 100AOE) to the tree. There is also the possibility of going invisible near tree, like treant, but only for limited time (based on how beastmaster loses him). There appears to be at least one passive ability. There is one more thing I can think of as the skill. When you pop the illusion based skill, the copies and the hero just run straight forward in the direction you are facing for say 1000 distance, while attacking and damaging anything in the path of an 300 AOE in front of the hero, and then disappear. While active the hero is mixed with the copies confusing the enemies, and gains increased movement speed. The copies are uncontrollable. One last active might be ability to gain true strike, for say 5 seconds. I mean its the Monkey King. His staff has been in dota since beginning, it's only natural that he gets innate ability to true strike.
I think it will be an aoe stun where he slams the ground on q invis/turning into a tree for a limited time on w true strike passive/limited time true strike on e and the ult will be the illusion army running forward.
Dont u think that skill that gives u only true strike is quiet poor? I hope it will give true strike for heroes who has evasion and some crits or someshit for others.
If u know a little about Asian culture, you will realise that Son Wukong is a famous character based off in the 16th century Chinese lore which is called 'The Journey to the West'
be sure what youre talking about kid..in dota 1 monkey king bar was already there, LOL and HON didnt exist at that time.. so in conclusion.. LOL and HON are the real copycat of the monkeyking hero. BTW wukong was mentioned in the description of the MKB ( monkey king bar)
I've been called many things, a Warrior, an animal, a Trickster. But all of the names I've been called... The one that always remained my favorite... *Dramatic Music* Harambe.
Wukong doesn't belong to Valve or Riot or any other company as well. Still, Warcraft does have a character that was inspired by Sun Wukong named The Monkey King.
Saarabaz, the GuuG I knew there would be something lol. They'll just release him and be like "checkmate" Not that I care. Personally I'm done with MOBA's in general.
*Coming Soon*(tm): Black King, the Spellstopper Vyse, the Mower Midas, the Golden King Terrasque, the Heart's Warrior Skadi, the all-seeing Eye Mordiggan, the Slapper Aghanim, the Improver Atos, the Basher Eul, the Wind Master Basilius, the Jeweler Vladimir, the President
Matt Mercer voices him in this trailer. Mercer went on strike shortly after the release of this trailer to protest against the treatment of the video game industry towards their voice actors, so he pulled out the role. They had to get someone else.
I doubt if he would have those abilities, cause that would mean he wouldn't need to buy MKB. Perhaps he'd get crit/atk speed abilities that would go really well with MKB?
Lots of heroes have skills that make certain weapons redundant. Lifestealer doesn't need BKB. Several heroes have bash. Pugna doesn't need ghost scepter. It would be cool if a hero had a built-in MKB.
***** I understand your point, but giving a certain hero an ability that easily and directly counters most carries would just destabilize the current meta, and would be subject to many balancing adjustments, not only on MK but on most heroes, especially the carry heroes.
this trailer kinda confuses me. MK is clearing out dire creeps, but battling Beastmaster which is Radiant. So, what is he? Radiant or Dire? Good or evil?
monkey king bar=Mokey King? Does that mean that in the future we are gonna have heroes like Vlademir=Vlademir's offering-Possible he is Lycan's brother Aganims=Aganim's scepter-Rubick's father Skadi=The eye of Skadi-Possible he is blind and that he hates Crystal madien and is served by Ancient Apparation.
Monkey King will most likely have a built in stun (Monkey King Bar reference), and might have a jump ability like Mirana. Who knows, Valve would NEVER work this hard to make a copy of a hero. They make Dota 2 heroes unique, something I'm proud of that LoL doesn't have :D
Starts the game with MKB.
top kek
phantom lancer's pick rate about to drop.
+Crystal Mascot PHANTOM LANCERS MY MAIN WHY ICEFROG :(
Ethan Lee fucking right? I just recently develop a new way to use him and now disss :
a passive skill maybe?
Beastmaster nerf confirmed
hahahahahaa
didnt even use hawk to scout, report.
You still suck!
You suck! You suck! You suck!

Thank you Valve for bringing back Harambe
DICK STAYS OUT
congrats max
Congratulations on your victory in the short film contest!
Congrats
You sound so bitter and salty. What did life ever do to you. Let the guy have fun and you need to learn to chill.
HARAMBE TRIBUTE, RESPECT VALVE
HAHAAHAAAAAAHAHA
it was already hinted way back in 2013, a dota 1 warcraft map has this hero as a boss.
Harambe will be proud
DICKS OUT FOR SUN WUKONG
xD
Look, I play both LoL and Dota 2. I've played both Wukongs.
But I find this Wukong to be better in design, character and playstyle.
True, they really need to rework Lol's Wukong... sadly it's hard to have a good wukong with a limited skill set
I played almost all MOBAs and this Wukong was my fav. Jumping from tree to tree never got old.
Yeah Wukong in LoL is a mess. Either God tier or trash tier and this year he's been trash. He needs a rework.
Aaah, good old 2016, remember i Player only Wukong in b5...now im playing Dota,and this Wukong is funnier,than LoL's
He gets a mini rework for his clone, it also now attacks, from what i heard
But he definitely needs a full package rework
ITS HIGH NOOOOONN
x2
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that's the one
that I knew the voice from somewhere but I didnt remenber it means that I haven't played Overwatch in a while. lol
Dammit, 16 minutes late
DRAW!
Let's goo Black Myth Wukong!!
Giving my hero his own game
I wished they used this VA instead of the English dub in Black Myth.
TI9 Finals and we see his greatness in the hands of a master
Mk was made to let Topson win two TIs
Godson 🔥
Indeed. ☺☺
it's been 2 years and this comment still on top, fire!
Ti8 mk is underrated
if you're wondering why there releasing Sun Wu Kong it's because this year because its the year of the MONKEY next year is the year of the flaming rooster
so next year they will release king cock?
+Nevamal Sithra Acharige lol maybe if icefrog and valve get fucking mental
+Rain-B-Bane Lmfaooo king cock
But gg they already released phoenix rip flaming rooster
Next year is chicken year, hope comes chicken hero
A flaming chicken courier. DUH?!
"Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A warrior. An animal. A trickster. Out of all the names I've been called, one has always remained my favorite: King."
Nice one
omprakash sahoo 0:04 …
goosebumps the moment I watched this trailer live 👌🔥
Monkey King
Rewatching this because Black Myth: Wukong trailer just dropped
Omg yes, i sure did too, dota wukong is pretty accurate but a full game with all of his trick and power? Fucking amazing.
Black myth wukongs VA english dub sucks. I wish they could just hire the one from dota 2.
Can we also appreciate how well this is animated?
Since when was the last time we got _legit_ quality Valve animations?
Name's Mccree.
Woah there.
....... When he is released..... we must find out if he is voiced by the same guy..... WE MUST DO THJS
+Danny Caracciolo ...its already been confirmed that he is voiced by the same guy....
It's Matthew Mercer.. and yes it's the same voice actor as Mccree
Jesse McCree? That's a terrible name for a cowboy!
lies, He preffers to be called the great sage equal to heaven.
Mori Jin liked the post.
How ironic it is that Beast Master is a good counter to him....
bird and whirling axe???unless he good at buy smoke then transform dust wouldnt do a thing especially jump tree and transform give him sight and ward cant detect him
got a better idea against mk???the warding place is so mess up and ward on ground cant detect mk on tree unless u get ns\keeper with aghanim which is already too late for fat mk...phoenix also good btw
Also when monkey king jumps to a tree timbersaw can hook to it and cut it at the same time so its very easy to chase him and stun him.
the mk ulti is fucking retarded...i think it gives him immunity from damage during his opening of his ulti(juz damage not immunity from stun or root)... i even had a game where i play axe and ulti him during his ulti(his hp is fucking low)...it deals no damage...seriously i think u guys shud watch out for it
***** He can chakram it.
Fun fact: Monkey King is voiced by McCree from Overwatch, Gangplank from LoL, Robin from Batman Arkham Knight and of course Monkey King from HoN.
Good thing he wasn't voiced by Wukong from LoL.
Thought i heard matt mercer
his second time playing as the monkey king, interesting
+Nobblk Praetorian or Wukong from Smite.
I knew I heard this sexiness somewhere before!
the question is, what name are they gonna use?
son goku or sun wukong?
Derek Furst well then, were having another "K" hero..
Ryuujiish I don't know what they is
Ryuujiish ah. Well how many heroes have "assassin" or "spirit" in it
Derek Furst alot of them.
WuKu or GoKong
'But of all the names I've been called; one has always remained my favourite: Harambe'
wraith king is jealous..........................new king coming this fall
haha
you forgot sandking dude
Phạm Tuấn Anh If you ever read the story, sand king isn't an actual king...
LMAO
It's gonna be like in frostivus 2013:
"By the decree of the only king that matters, WuKong is cancelled"
"Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A flopper. A cry baby. A choker. But one always remains my favourite: King" *- LeBron James*
Black Myth Wukong had released in August 20th, 2024. :3 I'm back for re-watching this teaser
It's official that Son wukong is in every MOBA games
SpymanTIVC Sun Wukong: The Moba King
hes literally that one guy who breaks the fourth wall of every moba game haha
Blaire Pizza where are you basing your accusations about him/her? You already lost the argument logically.
from the start, saying "thot" to me wasnt logical in the first place. And he just called a 13 year old a thot, youre the one who based off acuusations from what im saying, you didnt even look deep into it, but then again why would you?
Blaire Pizza *accusations
In 2024 with game black myth wukong
And i still remember this
".....King.."
Of course! It's a standard that all MOBA/ARTS Games should have the Monkey King in the roster but in my heart, HoN Monkey King is best Monkey King.
First person to say something like that and not accuse Dota of copying thank you
About that, we just have to wait about it since Icefrog heroes are completely different from each other.
Muhammad Nazrin Knowing IceFrog, I'm sure he'll come up with movesets that was done in Journey to the West but not utilized as skills in games yet.
He was so fun to play with all that mobility for initiation and escape.
+Vin the Hunter That is going to be interesting.
wukong?? what are you doing here??
Fck u lol
+Mecha Charizard - How can they be late, if they timed it well :)
bit late timed well oxymoron?
Wukongs knows LOL is a joke, so he decided to switch
Valvetime
The background music sounds like "tari kecak" from Bali, Indonesia with those chanting and "gamelan" instruments
.
Willy Wonka well, someone cared enough to reply 😁
WOOOAAHHHH. You got roasted bud. GET THE FACK OUTTTA HERE, Mang. You were roasted like Marshmellow. Willy Wonka BTFO.
that is ..enlightening
You replied...
>Can't balance existing heroes
>Adding 2 new ones
what balance..? from what I remember dota 2 is balance.. If u say that many heroes can easily win the game then u're a fucking noob and doesnt have the word COUNTERPICK in your little brain.. If u even have a brain.
Less
I think it's like 30 or less than that (in LoL)
30-40 are good in competitive in Lol, and league has like 130~ champions, new garbage champion every week, 0 balancing
+Zeghart well said, mh friend
LMFAO. not another illusion hero goddamnit volvo
Pl is crying now.
nope just get jakiro or distruptor
+himo kadah secretly released just so people will pick jakiro kappa
he will be an illusion and TREE hero!!!
im crying now
Damn i felt so old watching this at 2023
So DotA 2 finally caved in and introduced Son Wukong as a new hero too, I see lmao
Smite, Hon, LoL, and now DotA 2.
Four MOBAS with Son Wukong from the Chinese folklore Journey to the West.
This ape has been an inspiration for the four lmao
first recommended: MKB ! :)
Mkb free starting item icefrog pls
the hero probably will have self built MKB. No need for the item... because he is the rightful owner of MKB.
maybe he does not need mkb. when he hit beastmaster and he feel he was stunned so maybe yeah. but maybe he also need it we don't know yet
I'm thinking he has a skill that gives true strike for a certain amount of time, cuz he would be OP if he has a passive that grants true strike *PA and WR on vacation forever*
+Liz Young Maybe his ulti which has a short cooldown?
Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things; a warrior, an animal, a trickster, of all the names I've been called; one has always been my favorite; king.
Hold up now!
He sounds like McCree from Overwatch.
He is...
ITS HIGH NOOON
its the same voice acter
+natures profit Woah there
Easy!
+Jc Campol No, Yasuo is voiced by Liam O'brien. McCree is voiced by Matt Mercer.
-But the all the names, I've been called, one is always remain my favorite.
-HARAMBE.
The soundtrack that his ultimate has is just plain awesome, I want it as a full song.
if you want to hear it more, go search for "tari kecak", that sound is from kind of ritual. it was badass
Darren Bent wow thanks mate
balinesse dance it is call tari kecak
I can never get over how truly sad it is that they recast his VA. Matthew Mercer would've added such powerful and 'king'-like melody to mk's voice.
now that u say that, i agree, he sounds stronger.
Monkey King is not really a "King", just like how A-God (Ana or Arteezy) are not "Gods". Chinese literatures have a tendency to attach those words for dramatic effect. In the original novel, MK is actually a trickster, so him having a more clown-like VA is perfect for him.
@@OHOHOHCOME Monkey King still counts as the King of monkeys and later become a true battle god in the novel so I do think it would be refreshing to have a king-like voiceover for MK with just a tad of mischief voice. Meanwhile, A-God is just an abbreviation of god-like gamer from Chinese and there is nothing to do with dramatic effect.
Isnt it Arcana for PL ???
no it's a new hero
but his illusion skill is similar to plantom lancer's one? im confused... may be a remodel?
+lordbossharrow no its just a hero like pl and pl hasnt got a skill that instant summon 6-9 illusion.
+Conan Conan no he isn't xd just look up maybe something to do with feline spearman I guess and maybe you'll find what he is
From the trailer alone, I suspect he'll have an ability where he'll replace an entire Minion Wave of just him. I think that'd be a pretty cool ability while sacrificing lane pressure for an army during a teamfight... maybe? I can see somethin fun out of it.
Over the course of my journeys,
I've been called many things.
A warrior, an animal, the trickster.
But of all the names I've been called,
one is always remain my favorite,
"King".
I actually hope he can summon his companions from Journey to the West, or have them be separate heroes instead, cause that would be pretty darn awesome if he can.
We already have kotl(his master), britleback(piggy), and tide hunter/slarder(sea monster) though
no, sand king
How about our almighty bull king? With his 17% almighty bash???
I can see people making skins for them in this regard. Dope!
The piggy, Zhu Bajie, is already a courier in Dota 2
harambe never died
valve just hired Harambe for DotA 2
has a bonus special passive when purchassing MKB
anyone watching this again aftrr TI?
0:31 "WU-KONG, WU-KONG, WU-KONG" anybody hear that?
Er...i dont play lol and plus i found this video in the suggestions, so i wouldnt exactly know about dota
what moves the monkey king i think will have off this trailer
1.a simple aoe stun with his stick 0:10
2. some kind of speed boost and invisibility in trees 0:16
3. for his ult he get some fake monkey kings to help him fight 0:31
Already release. And have a long description of the skills.
well if valve is releasing some deprecated heroes they better bring out the gambler soon...
agree
He's already on the works, its the 1st one that icefraud wants to bring it back from limbo
icefraud.... man you are so witty and clever.
cant wait for valve to steal my money in game as well as irl
Nope that's too Op
The secret quest in 6.79 and Banana tease lead up to this! Can't wait for hidden thing in 6.89
My fave hero since I mastered his playstyle and I just realized I was born in the year of the Monkey
Maccree's Voice?
the background music reminded me a lot with Kecak from Bali
me too
meera daisy yeah definitely it's Kecak music
yes i think so
Imagine if they used this va
I've been called many things, one has always been my favourite 'monke'.
It it just me or is he voiced by Matt Mercer?
If you don't know who is Matt Mercer, he voices Chrom from Fire Emblem and McCree from Overwatch
yep
INB4 'High Noon' Jokes
You forgot the best one - Dungeon Master in Critical Role. That show really shows his amazing array of voices
It is
I agree so hard.
Trailer
Monkey king > Beast master
actual game
Monkey king < Beast master
lol no
Monkey King is a hard carry who is OP as fuck
Beast Master counters him hard because of his ability to destroy trees and keep MK disabled.
JoJo Stout mybe he thinks that all hard carry can't be countered early and mid games, maybe?
jessie briones i fckinn agree should dota name it just monkey not a king, bvz if king he should use cloud nimbus
yes,hard carry with 0 base armor
Is this a new character or a PL arcana? i am legit confused
new hero
+CarBasher thank you
Old hero*
I think MK being able to dupe himself is based on some Chinese myth of some sort, I think I've see it from a cartoon or tv show before, using hair to make some clones.
its from a movie
Going by these comments, not a lot of gamers know of famous Chinese mythology. Either that or you just love to piss each other off.
I'm so triggered with this LoL/smite/HoN players...
moba players in general are trollish assholes, but i can't imagine most westerners know anything about chinese mythology
We love to piss people off
both
“Hey we are Valve, lets make a fucking low budget animation even though we are shitting money“
ok league, even though dota didn't steal wukong, lets just say we did.
Lets just remind ourselves of some of the heroes you stole ( theres more but can't remember of the top of my head)
Warwick:bloodseeker
ashe:drow ranger
teemo:techies
elise:broodmother
evelynn:riki
poppy:lone druid
ezreal: skywrath
thresh? (not sure his name):pudge
garen:sven.
Stfu lol players
i didn't get the similarity between poppy and syllabear. also dont forget gyrocopter:corki
Well, prettymuch most (if not all) League champions are originated from DotA Allstars.
Let me remind you that the original creators of LoL had come from DotA AS as well as Icefrog (creator of DOTA 2)
I play both games and they both have unique characters.. design wise? maybe ashe and drow.. but skill wise? nope.. they all play too different to say that this game copied this game.. so stfu and stop calling yourself a gamer for being too biased for 1 game..
league is not HoN which just blatantly rips off characters from the father of moba..
+raidendt because riot is being tryharding in changing champion skillsets to differentiate each other, even though each time they release new champions they created another better version of existing champion. which might indicate the main point of them changing champs skillsets is just to make it seems different even more from dota allstar heroes
And don't forget Aurelion Sol as mainly IO, as well.
This Phantom lancer's arcana?
New hero
Deranged Man
i use to be so hype about this hero I don't realize it was already 7 years ago
Is there a fucking law that every Moba needs Sun Wukong in it? Lol, Smite, Hon, Awesomenauts has a skin and now Dota?
ofc cuz its the most popular character in China and other eastern Asian countries.
Warframe,Naruto,Toriko,DBZ,etc
'' Journey to the West ''
Literally
not just dota
even other videogames do it
He was actually going to be added a long time ago to Dota 1 but got cut last minute, they are just finally going to add him now.
Dota2 story mode by Telltale Games
At last, 5 years have to pass, to see a Hero trailer cinematic from Valve. This is amazing work, i hope i realy hope that well see more cinematics like this for all the entire character of Dota 2 and future incoming chars.
The Monkey king is a Chinese myth
So is Zeus he is a myth ( seen him in ALOT of games )
so is Medusa she is a myth too (seen her in lots mmorpg games like Silkroad online and other )
Why everyone right now pissed cause game companys using myths in games that other game companys use
He better be able to climb trees now
Granted
Came back here because of Black Myth Wukong.
As if they ever release a new hero
Maybe in a year or two
they just said fall so nov-dec
Ye no, don't trust what valve says
It's fall in valve time
September / October rather
Pitlord is arriving aug 23
So new hero coming out in two months, along with already anticipated Pit Lord. Time for some guesswork!
From what I make of the trailer, he looks to be an agility based carry/utility hero.
There can be one of the two ultimates. Either PL's old illusion skill. Or its an AOE based stun (the scene where he slams the staff to the ground).
He also looks to be using trees to move around, and I don't think that was just for the trailer. Maybe that's his mobility? Two things I can think of. Short jump ability from one tree to other with a cool down of 5 seconds (like blink or time walk), OR, instead of mobility, it's a passive, that makes him gain move speed when very close (like 100AOE) to the tree. There is also the possibility of going invisible near tree, like treant, but only for limited time (based on how beastmaster loses him).
There appears to be at least one passive ability.
There is one more thing I can think of as the skill. When you pop the illusion based skill, the copies and the hero just run straight forward in the direction you are facing for say 1000 distance, while attacking and damaging anything in the path of an 300 AOE in front of the hero, and then disappear. While active the hero is mixed with the copies confusing the enemies, and gains increased movement speed. The copies are uncontrollable.
One last active might be ability to gain true strike, for say 5 seconds. I mean its the Monkey King. His staff has been in dota since beginning, it's only natural that he gets innate ability to true strike.
I think it will be an aoe stun where he slams the ground on q
invis/turning into a tree for a limited time on w
true strike passive/limited time true strike on e
and the ult will be the illusion army running forward.
Yeah, hes definitely gotta have a truestrike ability/passive
Dont u think that skill that gives u only true strike is quiet poor? I hope it will give true strike for heroes who has evasion and some crits or someshit for others.
+Семён Але I dunno the specifics of what the ability should be, but he needs truestrike somewhere, or else MKB wouldnt make any sense
Семён Але its ofcourse true strike with minibash, like mkb.
One of the best depictions of Sun Wukong in MOBAs. If not the best.
Thats Mcree's voice actor !
Wukong copycat confirmed.
If u know a little about Asian culture, you will realise that Son Wukong is a famous character based off in the 16th century Chinese lore which is called 'The Journey to the West'
every Moba and Arts has a Wukong
Lol came from dota, so yeah it was a copy. By league of lesbians.
be sure what youre talking about kid..in dota 1 monkey king bar was already there, LOL and HON didnt exist at that time.. so in conclusion.. LOL and HON are the real copycat of the monkeyking hero. BTW wukong was mentioned in the description of the MKB ( monkey king bar)
It is Wukong you fucking idiot
I've been called many things, a Warrior, an animal, a Trickster. But all of the names I've been called... The one that always remained my favorite...
*Dramatic Music*
Harambe.
Alright, so now we'll count the days until Heroes of the Storm announces Wukong, so we can get him in every MOBA, Kappa.
Actually that wouldn't fit since HotS is based on Blizzard characters, Wu Kong is not a Blizzard character.
Wukong doesn't belong to Valve or Riot or any other company as well. Still, Warcraft does have a character that was inspired by Sun Wukong named The Monkey King.
Saarabaz, the GuuG
I knew there would be something lol.
They'll just release him and be like "checkmate"
Not that I care. Personally I'm done with MOBA's in general.
Sounds like motherfucking McCree!!
same voice actor
+Kaltrex nice profile pic
Because it is lol
yep, it is the same voice actor
The fact that this was 8 years ago makes it even better
comimg this fall. bitch please, its the winter already
Technically, Winter starts at Dec 21/22.
yup, but its snowing already where i am :(
WHAT DOES IT MEAN? is it a new hero or arcana for pl? lol
Seems PL a lot
other way around, pl has been around for like 11 years
check this for reference /watch?v=E7l7yR5ftJg
and Sun Wukong has existed since the 16th century. I don't think anyone is actually copying anyone else when it comes to these "legendary" characters.
Yeah no, Sun Wukong (aka Son Goku in english) is part of the chinese mythology, and was hinted at in dota 1 but ultimately scrapped
1st skill: Catapult from Tree 0:08
2nd skill: Ground smash 0:11
3rd skill: becoming tree 0:19
Super Skill: Duplicate Wave - Stun (Precisely rooted, 2 monkey Grab enemy hero) and Illussion. 0:33
Nah. You wrong
RIP Phantom Assassin
I waited for so long for pit lord
And they fucking saved it for THIS
***** I know that you moron, 'THIS' as in THIS international, instead of any other time before this event.
Pit Lord was also announced, in case you missed that
you don't need no stupid event to announce the hero. just do it and be happy with it.
I'm just glad all the heroes will finally be in the game +1
"you don't need no stupid event to announce the hero." But that's not how you do bussiness.
+BlackJackIs21 Correction: that's not how you hype people the fuck up
*Coming Soon*(tm):
Black King, the Spellstopper
Vyse, the Mower
Midas, the Golden King
Terrasque, the Heart's Warrior
Skadi, the all-seeing Eye
Mordiggan, the Slapper
Aghanim, the Improver
Atos, the Basher
Eul, the Wind Master
Basilius, the Jeweler
Vladimir, the President
its not an Vladimir, its VladMir by the name VLAD the impaler
This Voice doesn't match with his Announcer pack wtf volvo
Different voice actor
Bill Millsap is voicing Sun Wukong in DotA. They changed Matthew out with him in release.
Its7up fuck volvo mk's voice sounds better in this trailer and he sounds like riki in the game
i like McCree
Matt Mercer voices him in this trailer. Mercer went on strike shortly after the release of this trailer to protest against the treatment of the video game industry towards their voice actors, so he pulled out the role. They had to get someone else.
I'm pretty sure I heard a stun at 0:23
0:22
also realized since he has mkb as his weapon (HIS THE DAMN MONKEY KING FOR FUCKS SAKE) does his bash also have true strike? if so pa is fucked
I doubt if he would have those abilities, cause that would mean he wouldn't need to buy MKB. Perhaps he'd get crit/atk speed abilities that would go really well with MKB?
Lots of heroes have skills that make certain weapons redundant. Lifestealer doesn't need BKB. Several heroes have bash. Pugna doesn't need ghost scepter. It would be cool if a hero had a built-in MKB.
***** I understand your point, but giving a certain hero an ability that easily and directly counters most carries would just destabilize the current meta, and would be subject to many balancing adjustments, not only on MK but on most heroes, especially the carry heroes.
"King"
I quote this when I beat a boss in Black Myth: Wukong
eh...Wukong addresses himself as Great Sage/Great Sage Equal to Heaven not just King...for obvious reason
This is SMITE?
Wtf is smite ?
idk man i heard smite is legue-reborn
If dota 2 wasn't developed/prioritize this hero would've been release in 2011.
Smite is a thing?
wth is a smite? lmao
You're ALL wrong. This isn't Wukong from LoL. This is Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, the same novel that inspired Dragon Ball!
one of my favorite support hero 🐒
It's high noon.
this trailer kinda confuses me. MK is clearing out dire creeps, but battling Beastmaster which is Radiant. So, what is he? Radiant or Dire? Good or evil?
Anyone watching AT 2019?
fucking mars bro xd
Да
fall IS OVER!!! Am i missing something? !!!!
Drew Lloyd fall means autumn
5 more days, stay strong
TheJanind It's coming
When? It's 12 already.
Eufemisms for dead carcases V 2day
is that a new hero or just phantom lancer re-skinned (like skeleton king to wraith king)
OMG THIS IS SO ORIGINAL. NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE IN HoN, SMITE, LoL.
obviously.... for people who never plays DotA 1, he's the secret boss on there.
Actually they planned this hero in DotA era right before League of Lesbian, HoN, or SMITE but never got released in the original DotA
What kind of excuse is that?
+TheOmokage you obviously haven't played dota 1, which came out before hon, smite, and lol, you fucking idiot.
wukong is from the journey to the west dumbass.mythology bitch! lol
monkey king bar=Mokey King? Does that mean that in the future we are gonna have heroes like Vlademir=Vlademir's offering-Possible he is Lycan's brother Aganims=Aganim's scepter-Rubick's father
Skadi=The eye of Skadi-Possible he is blind and that he hates Crystal madien and is served by Ancient Apparation.
dont forget Eul's scepter
+Mr Romantic FOXY yeah guess he'll be a guy that specializes on wind attacks and defenses. Probably Connected with Storm, Razor or Zeus in some way
vlademir putin
imagine if he was a hero
Eul is the creator of DotA. It's doubtful they'll make a character and name him "Eul."
That moment when you knew that this trailer is narrated by Mcree from overwatch
It's highnoon!!!
Oh... wrong game
looks like phantom lancer v2 from the trailer XD
Monkey King will most likely have a built in stun (Monkey King Bar reference), and might have a jump ability like Mirana. Who knows, Valve would NEVER work this hard to make a copy of a hero. They make Dota 2 heroes unique, something I'm proud of that LoL doesn't have :D
right.
maybe he can walk faster on trees
its already changed soo much from the original set of skills on PL
And now we have fucking grimstroke.
OH SHIT ITS HIGH NOON
It's always high noon
Lancer replaced confirmed
Gonas Nguyen how?
