Heroes (Dota 2)

The heroines and heroes (original: “Heroes”) are the primary playable entities in DotA and Dota 2. In a game, each player takes control of one of the 112 playable heroines and heroes. Each hero and heroine is a character with different attributes, abilities and roles. Each heroine and hero can also be categorized by the default attacks, which happen either in melee or ranged attacks.

Valve plans to develop their own heroines and heroes for Dota 2 after the release of the classic heroines and heroes from DotA Allstars, as Erik Johnson previously announced in a 2014 interview. After the release of Arc Warden in December 2015 and that of Underlord in August 2016, the first hero developed exclusively for Dota 2, Monkey King, appeared in winter 2016, although it was at least based on concepts from classic DotA and appeared there as an event boss opponent. The Dueling Fates update announced in August 2017 confirmed the release of two completely redesigned heroes.

Tiny: “They call me Tiny.”

Tiny, the Stone Giant, is a strength hero from DotA and Dota 2. Although Tiny starts each round as a relatively small unit, he can permanently make himself bigger and more powerful through his Ultimate ability. He is a melee unit and belongs to the Radiant. In the game, he can take on the role of a Disabler, Nukers, Initiators, and Durablers. Through Avalanche, he can stun and damage enemy units, and with Toss, he can throw a random unit in his range into the enemy ranks, causing damage. Avalanche is also one of the few abilities in the game that also affects buildings. Craggy Exterior is a passive ability that can reflect damage Tiny receives from close range back at enemies, stunning them. Tiny’s power is very dependent on his Ultimate ability, which not only makes him gain size but also power and improves Toss, but also makes him lose a massive amount of attack speed. Aghanim’s Scepter gives Tiny area damage and bonus range on his melee attacks, improves Toss, and lets Tiny deal bonus damage against buildings.

Tiny- Hype

Growing to tremendous size and strength as the battle progresses, Tiny’s power can quickly become terrifying. He tosses heroes and creeps at his enemies, or stuns them beneath an avalanche. Should he gather his full strength, he can demolish the enemy’s base with ease.

Tiny- Biography

“Born a lump of stone, Tiny’s origin is a mystery that gives him no peace. Now he is a Stone Giant, but what was he before? A broken splinter from the heel of a golem? A swept-away shard from a gargoyle’s sculpting workshop? A fragment of the Oracular Visage of Garthos? Driven by curiosity, he travels the world, tirelessly searching for his origins, his lineage, his people. As he wanders, he steadily gains weight and size; the forces that weather smaller rocks only cause Tiny to grow further.”
