Night Hound appearance?

[hector5]

Hey!

I haven't played a lot of HoN but it struck me right away that the appearance of Night Hound could use some work imo. His "fists" are like two poking sticks or something, it would look much better if he had two small daggers in his hands..

Generally I think he looks too simplified and not very awesome or terrifying. Most heroes look great, night hound feels very bland in comparison.

Just some thoughts

I agree, he is one of the ugliest heroes to me.

I think S2 should just re-make Night Hound to resemble Wolverine from the X-Men as closely as possible without a possible lawsuit.

All jokes aside, I think he looks fine.

What? Surely he should be Night Crawler. :P
I personally think he should have some kind of claw instead of those...pincer things.

[SuperStanos]

I just don't like his voice, it grates on me.

Then again I like Armadon and Nymphora so I might be a bit different.

+1

Sorry S2, but IMHO he looks terrible.

The problem with this is that Scout already has this...

I'm thinking maybe short, scythe-like hands similar to a Praying Mantis-ish style?

[ubidat]

nighthound looks rad :o
He has those fist spikes for a reason, have you seen how he runs on all 4 etc? :P

[Anghkor]

They aren't "fist spikes", they are crab claws... and yes, they look terrible.

And while you're changing his model to something better looking, nerf his cloud. It has always been imba. No other ability in the game does 4 things at once and isnt an ult... Silence, MASS EVADE, slow enemy move speed, and slow enemy attack rate.... God come on. Cloud should only do 2 things. Take your pick. Slow and silence; Slow and Evade; Slow MS and AS; Etc. This hero can dissable half a team, or an entire team for so long and with very little effort or planning. It's a basic skill that is comparable to and even better than some ultimates in the game.

Surely he seems like the night crawlen from x-men
i think he deserves a more assassin appearance.
have anyone consider to something like that

And, a bigger tail :P

I have no problem with his looks. He is a (insert expletive) hero and his model makes him look the part. He blends in with his cloud exactly like the old SA, which makes his cloud do 5 things Cixelsyd. If he was flashy he wouldn't blend, and therefore wouldn't be stealthy 95% of the time as his ult states. Don't change his model, do what cixelsyd said and look at that skill. Cloud needs a HUGE balance change imo. Why should smoke make you attack and move slower. If I ran into a smoke bomb I would run like hell out of it, not sit around suffocating.

[Sh4dow]

Night hound is "ok" looking but someone that is stealth shouldn't be running around like that.

[hector5]

I've played too little to really give an accurate assessment on whether cloud is too good or not I just think that his looks could be improved. :)

Someone suggested giving him scythes or (better looking) claws.. Im all for that, anything apart from whatever it is he has now. One of the things I liked a lot about rikimaru in DoTA is his menacing attacks.. if you had him on your back you'd not only see it but you'd hear it too, and you'd immediately know you're in trouble.

When night hound comes out of stealth his visual appearance just isn't very menacing with his poking-like attack..

I think the visual appearance is a big part of this kind of game and I think the night hound very much caters to the crowd that want to be an assassin that slashes blood all over the place when they choose to appear.. and I just dont think that's what he's doing right now.

They should give him a cloak, torn at the edges that covers his face up. I dunno. +1 on him being the worst looking hero though.
