As everyone, or at least most of us, know Hon is heavilly inspired and based on the Warcraft 3 map Defense of the Ancients - Allstars. This map was originaly created by Guinsoo and later IceFrog took over the development.
To commemorate Guinsoo, one item, the equivalent of Totem of Kuldra was named Guinsoo.
I propose to commemorate these two persons, we rename Stormspirot to "Guinsoo's Stromspirit" and "Totem of Kuldra" to "Totem of Icefrog". What does anyone think?

ok ok i humbly apologize. i did no research, i based it on tidbits i picked up, but the point still stands. i believe HoN should in some way remmember those that brought us DotA.

If you don't even know who they are why are you asking to respect them?

Just so you know, in DotA (which HoN isnt) Eul created the Map, and then Guinsoo helped develop it further, then Ice Frog took it over. Euls is the Cyclone item in HoN and Guinsoo is Sheepstick. Furthermore, a tribute to Ice Frog already exists; in the map there is a blue frog. O WOT, ICEFROG DAT U?!

The map is older than Eul's, it's just a matter of the "allstars" sensation that is making people "duh" about who is who.
