how about item animation effects on heroes?









cmon! everybody would like to see that!

like for xample the effects of aghanims on heroes how about the other items?

Hmm, to some extend I think it could be cool. But I wouldn't like it to be for everything. Should only be a few things imo.
Maybe something like, a glow if you get Radiance, or something changed if you get divine (since this is kinda the ultimate item xD).

nice idea but that's for just some items not all of item got effects when we bear it

Yea, really cool idea, but that would require a lot of work. As Ichti said, some basic item efects would be suficient. But not to many.

Yea, good idea, but i don't think they will do to much about that

It's kinda cool to see new effects on DotA 2. But I wouldn't like Valve and IceFrog putting too much effects and fashion into the game. DotA 1 at first was more on function than fashion. But still I trust IceFrog and Valve making a good game.

I think that they'll invest more effort in look of heroes and new style of map and that things... and that they'll ignore effects about items...

I think it being like the actual DotA is just more than awesome. It already has effects for a lot of items and auras and the incredible aghamins effects which is different for every hero, that is just awesome ( <3 ES with Aghamins )

If they can't make it universal, they won't make it at all. But that's my opinion. I mean, it's easy to add stout to axe, but stout on, hmm, puck, would look ridiculous. Just simple special effects for epic items, like ice has been doing till now, will be enough.

Yes, exactly.

Nah dont like the idea, image axe or lina running around looking like a small arsenal with bracers, daggers, vanguard, ulti stick, dagon, blademail and what have you on them... I would lol and just jam alley cat style..naked

It will be great.
Maybe we can just choose which item animation to be shown (prioritizing the uppermost item on the inventory) if we have multiple arms with same type. (Stout Shield with Vanguard maybe, or Broadsword with Divine Rapier ).

Stripping Lina ftw

Really great idea!

If they don't do that, I just hope you can still look under her dress when she is cycloned.

If she has big boobs and beautiful hair I won't mind :3

Not for every item and not to many effects can be ok and on some certain heroes theres no animation cause they look retarded in it. Just simple plain to make the chars look more wickedly sick. XD

Im talking about your sig and avatar

I don't but if I have I'll pm you if I may.

standin on the topic

having item animation will suck as alot said wierd to see puck with a stout shield or holding cranium basher,still i think that icefrog and valve will keep the animation as simple as posible and not put accent on item animation

read that before posting you should read my post im puting my opinion there stil pointing the cons (i know theyre the same but still poiting remeber lost my brain)

I think it would be helpful to have simple visual effects for select items, and some expensive items. Someone with the aegis for example, should probably get a circle or something under them, maybe for gem too. Or someone with BoT trail gold sparks when they run so you know that you probably can't catch them. Items like desolator and skadi already have floating orbs so I think simple visual effects are reasonable. Of course, having togglable visual effects would be the best.
