Idealist Banners

Moy · Nov 25, 2014

A fairly simple contest where your hero ideas could be recognized and possibly realized in an actual game or could benefit others that would use your ideas. Anyone can join and anyone could win. All you have to do is to create a hero idea based on the theme. Any mapmaker can use the hero as long as they give credit to the author. The map we will be basing is DotA/DotA 2

Mythical Creatures
Select any Mythical Creature from any fictional story or mythology, and create an entirely unique and creative hero idea.
