From which S2 member did each hero's gameplay design concept come from?

[[S2]ElementUser]

This thread will be the archive for which hero's gameplay design concept came from which S2 designer!

Disclaimer: All the designers influenced the final results of the heroes, so no single designer is responsible for each hero.

S2 has a group / community oriented design methodology. There is no single person responsible for any single hero. A hero's initial design usually comes from a single source, but the final product is through mass input and iteration from multiple people.

Buro:

(with malloc)

(with Loremeister and XanderK)



DivA:

(Re-designed with Deep Shadows and clearvision on ultimate)

(Re-designed with Invis/Armor merge and summons)



Fielding:

(Tweaks from Viper/Drow port)

(with Idejder)

(Original version with Stances)




Idejder:

(Original version with turret-inventory & inventory propagation)

(with Fielding)

(Original version with Stances)



JohnnyUtah:

(Re-design with Charge/reliable Splash proc/Torrent)



Loremeister: (with Buro and XanderK)



malloc: (with Buro)



Nome:

(Re-design to W slow, reliable proc on E and the Chains that Bind ultimate)

(Re-designed with Grapple/Enfeeble)

(Re-designed with tree-walking on ultimate and removal of Stances)

XanderK: (with Buro and Loremeister)






Yes this belongs in Mechanics since it's not suited for any other subforum without getting buried.

Please let me know if there are any mistakes/heroes I missed so I can update them accordingly.



NOTE: No discussion of whether certain heroes are "broken/imbalanced" or discussing whether that hero was good/bad for the game.

The only discussion that's allowed here will be that concerning the accuracy of the list.

Awesome! This thread will be very useful.

[[GaY]Captainyeah]

So who created Ra?

[Izual]

Heroes missing from list: :fors: (rework)

This list excludes community made heroes.

[[E]Artic]

Monkey king is Nome's (he's what harlequin turned into)
Empath and Ra are Nome's (he talks about them in his blog)

Cthuluphant is Diva (I think nome said this in his AMA on reddit)
Moraxus is Diva

I remember idejder talked about panda a lot before he was released but he was the most vocal s2 member back then so I'm not sure if it's his hero.

[[GM]Aterian]

Here's all the S2/HoN original heroes that are not on the list at this point. Unfortunately, I don't have any names to match to heroes.

Originals:
:fors:

Community inspired Heroes:


Reworks:


Note: I realize some of these are considered "semiports", but so is Aluna and she's on the list up there...

Edit: my list is better then Izuals Also, duplicate bombardier removed.

[man_guy]

Wait Idejder designed Engineer, constantly talked about not wanting mines in the game and they get put on "his" hero?

Nome
rework Nome

community inspired:

[Izual]

Does DOGKaiser develop heroes? And did Fielding develop any heroes?

[[E]Artic]

Thanks EU! <3

Who made chipper? Arguably the best s2 hero.

It seemed like Idejder to me since he was active in the beta client with Chipper.

[[GmT]VersionTu]

I thought Nome created the original idea for Amun-Ra.

Edit: Nevermind. Ashes to Ashes name was taken though. :X

[[S2]ElementUser]

Updated, thanks!

Also keep opinionated posts to yourself, you can make a new thread in GD linking to this thread if you want to discuss about that kind of stuff.

I still need to personally ask a few S2 about all of the older heroes as I have no idea who did those.

[[noBM]SupahNoob]

Idejder likes heroes with Guns? :3

[[S2]ElementUser]

Idejder likes heroes with Guns? :3

Yes, yes he does.

[KARTlK]

Fielding designed all of the old heroes

along with like the art team and maliken telling him whats cool. i guess some where inspired or whatever by savage though. all i know is that he was the only person actually in charge of gameplay related stuff until halfway through july

[[R]BobSaggot]

Now list next to each hero if it was nerfed / buffed / how much the community hates it

[[BBDS]Blam]

Which Engineer iteration did Idejder design?

If he wasn't the one who designed the spider mines I can still love him.

[[S2]ElementUser]

The original one.
