The subsequent hero coming to Dota 2 is Snapfire, an aged goblin who bakes cookies, carries a shotgun, and rides a large lava-spewing lizard. She appears a lark, so long as you keep on her good aspect. Valve introduced Snapfire right now throughout their enormous Dota event, The International, to reach in a future replace for the free-to-play MOBA. It’s a thriller for now how she performs and what her talents are, however come watch her introduction video and also you may need just a few guesses.
The solely specific description Valve give is that Snapfire is “an explosive new hero riding into Dota 2”. We can guess at what a few of her talents might contain, a minimum of, primarily based on the video. The weapons coming out her saddle, her lizard pal burping molten goop, her shotgun, possibly even giving cookies to different characters… who is aware of that are cinematic aptitude and which she’ll use to homicide wizards. I wouldn’t even start to guess the place she would possibly match into Dota’s meta.
I do like that the lizard is a dragon in each the heat-blasting and Agamidae senses.
Snapfire is because of hit Dota 2 this autumn. That could possibly be anyplace between September 1st and December 21st, relying on whether or not Valve’s calendar of selection is the sacred astronomical or the heretical meteorological. Having typed that, I realise they have to print their very own Valve Time calendars with a dozen duplicates of each month for workers to make use of or tear out as needed.
