After the leak, whole community gone wild and valve, swiftly removed all traces of this Hero with their 2nd update. But, we all know about it and with that, valve might be releasing this hero sooner than they planned.
One thing is for sure, if this hero is really what we think, then this hero will be holding a spear and it will look like spartans or the world he belongs to is of that age.
This update was big and many people were also hoping for Pudge’s Arcana which won in last TI votes. Unfortunately, we found nothing about it in these files. So, let’s hope valve will release it in its next update of dota 2.
