Fanatically devoted to his cause, this Naga fought valiantly along his side until he succumbed to fatal wounds in the heat of battle. Salvation finally seemed within grasp - that is until his fate became intertwined with the grim reach of the Lich King. Reincarnated as a soulless beast without emotion, Slardar tears through the enemy lines with inhuman speed, striking them out cold with mighty blows, undeterred in his quest to fulfill Ner'zhul's every whim."

Suggested Storyline
"After a millennium of being trapped under the raging waters of the Maelstrom, Slardar rose from its chaotic depths with his brethren to serve the Betrayer, Illidan Stormrage. Seeing certain weakness in his newly appointed commander, Slardar was exiled from his homeland after speaking out against his supposed master. Wandering for centuries without seeing his own kind, Slardar hopes to start anew by reentering the recently waged war as a champion among his people."

New Animation

- Uses Abilities\Spells\Other\CrushingWave\CrushingWaveMi ssile.mdl on his origin, and
Abilities\Spells\Items\ClarityPotion\ClarityTarget onto his chest

This animation is better than the current one.

Remains the same.

New Animation

- Uses Abilities\Spells\Other\CrushingWave\CrushingWaveDa mage.mdl

Current one is plain and boring. This suggested one is much better.

New Animation

- Uses Abilities\Spells\Other\Drain\ManaDrainTarget.mdl

This suggested animation fits his naga theme and is WAY BETTER than the current.

-I would also like to suggest to move him into Neutral Tavern since he doesn't look like a hero on the Scourge anymore.
-Also I want to change the current model to the Naga Myrmidon Model so it will fit his Naga theme.

Here's a comparison between the current model and the new model.

Original Thread
[Overhaul]: Slithereen Guard - DotA Allstars Discussion

Pros
+ looks A LOT better with the new animations
+ fits his NAGA theme
+ shows team color on the hilt of his weapon

Cons
- maybe some MSI (but icefrog told us not to worry

)
- doesn't look bad ass with the model change and tint?

Love it. I'm generally all for making the heroes more based around their "theme" as long as it doesn't interfere too much with how something works or how a hero plays.

1nvok3r · 07-22-2009, 05:16 PM

Sure.

Light-Coke · 07-22-2009, 05:24 PM

I'd like it more if it said that the armor gets rusty and slowly falls off. Water doesn't really melt metal. Sounds like some hot lava thingies.

KenpachiSlardar · 07-22-2009, 08:18 PM

ill fix it

Light-Coke · 07-22-2009, 08:20 PM

Uuuhh.. Now I like it. I actually like it very much. I'm happy.

KenpachiSlardar · 07-22-2009, 08:39 PM

yeah makes more sense

Kitsune · 07-22-2009, 09:35 PM

Like it.

Twilice · 07-22-2009, 09:41 PM

Thumbs up! Implent asap!

Harbinger · 07-22-2009, 09:41 PM

Gigantic thumbs up.

In some other topics, there's some discussion about whether Amp Damage is clearly visible enough. I don't think this cosmetic remake helps that very much.

Big wave attached to your head kind does that.
What more do you want, exlamation mark sized to scale 15?

Seriously, that's kinda obvious effect. Many debuffs have lesser animations, especially Amp Damage' brother, Track. No effect.

Well I mostly meant the current one is harder to see on heroes like Lina and Clinkz due to their flaming character models. But yes your point is very valid.

Are there more pictures? Does it resemble Double Damage buff?

KenpachiSlardar · 07-22-2009, 10:13 PM

nah the guy fixed it
since there were alot of people argue about how it looks like double damage you can go check fourms which i posted link to in my thread

mm.. I think this animation does it. And since you can see the guy anyway, it won't take long to locate the debuffed one.

Actually, the special effect is attached to the origin (base) of Slardar

(by the way, that's a King emoticon, don't listen to the site description...)

It's a queen. Haha, he's a she!

Well that wasn't my point exactly, but yea, it's attached to his middle body. I think there was some sorta "water bursting from everywhere"- theme attempted.

KenpachiSlardar · 07-22-2009, 11:51 PM

ty for the feedback guys

Henry · 07-23-2009, 12:08 AM
