Default Something I noticed: About Puck and OD.


As for the start, this thread is about hero shadows.
I thing it needs a fix.

I was laning with Obsidian Destroyer, when I noticed that Our shadows are different while We both were "flying heroes".

Take a look:

Basically, Puck has a correct "flying shadow" while OD has an incorrect "ground shadow".

What I suggest is to fix it making OD's shadow "flying" too.

I don't know how about other heroes like Batrider, Visage, etc...

What do You think?

@Huge Edit: Must see that:

Just to be sure I made a test.
I went a single player mode and launched DotA.
I took all the flying heroes, here are the results:
Obsidian Destroyer

Needs his "ground shadow" to be changed into a "flying shadow".

Faerie Dragon

Has a correct "flying shadow".

Batrider

Has a correct "flying shadow".

Twinhead Dragon

Has a correct HUGE "flying shadow" (if I can see corectly xP).

Visage

Unfortunately, just like Obsidian Destroyer, Visage uses the "ground shadow"!

Viper

No shadow at all!

I don't know... maybe it was just plain to look like that? Or it's all not fixed?

Edit: To add -

watch the drakes in calm.knight's post, the shades will always be orientated like there. (if you turn one dragon by 90 degree, it'd look stupid)

So a big t-up, though not gamplay-defining
^Exactly.

While it hardly makes any difference, it's a really easy fix, so a small T-up.

T-up makes sense, no really hard work. Another thing I noticed: Puck's flying high is too much. Don't you think it would look cooler if he would be flying closer to the ground?

I agree that this should be fixed. Inconsistencies, big or small needs to be corrected

Puck's flying high... Well, lowering it wouldn't hurt but is it really needed?
And 1 more thing: Can some1 tell me how exacty is it made, that in DotA, flying heroes have the same "passability" as ground units =/?
Please help... :[
