Colours for Meepo's brothers

[Lancerlove]

Hi,
I suggest a new remake to meepo that make any clone in a different colour than the others. This will be helpful for micro management:
For example: You are with meepo and want to kill barathrum.. let's say that he comes with charge and try to kill the red clone... well... when you bind every clone to a key you will know that red is on 1, blue on 2, yellow on 3, pink on 4 and this is very helpful when you try to flee the battle with just one clone, not with all of them... you can easily press 1 that you know is for the red clone and send the little meepo to base or anywhere you want....

In the current version is very hard to know which meepo you have to select because they don't run in the same order, they intermix with each other





PS: sry my bad english

Is this colour change only visible for the player or as well for enemies?

[Lancerlove]

only visible for the player

[DrDragun]

I approve this idea, though I don't know if it would be difficult to implement.

[Lancerlove]

it's very simple, the meepo's from above i created in World Editor in 5 minutes

Then its a very good suggestion, no reason why this shouldnt be implemented, its useful

[chelom]

agree!! sometimes i have problems with that, not so common cause i rarely used meepo now, but before was one of my favorites cause i can pwned my friends with him . but yea its sometimes not very easy to see which meepo is taking more damage just seeing the top left images. with this woulda be a lot easier T-up for sure.

Wouldn't it be easier to put the numbers over their heads or give them different overhead buffs to distinguish them? Tinting always looks bad, especially because it goes away when slowed.

[Lancerlove]

good idea with numbers but i think it's hard to distinguish them in a gank for example when they stay very 'squeezed'
... and i think it will ruin the dota elegance

[Zirath]

That's why you can give them different buffs or don't make the numbers the same color. Each has a different marker, all of which have the same shape, but a very different color so you can tell which is which.

Perhaps part of the point of playing Meepo is the difficulty for the player, and thus having all of the Meepo's identical increases the skill level required.

t-up..

[司马孽凰]

Nice idea,I like it.
And what about different weapons?

[MasteR]

I love the idea, but it will make geo easier to die :\

[Zirath]

It only shows to the player and allies not to enemies.

[Henry]

Good sugestion, but I think it should apear for enemies to, in general the strongest meepo has the aura effect from items and is easily to find.

T-Up, It's a good idea to self-orienting but...

why biding to 1,2,3 if you have F1 F2 F3 and F4? lol

I usually bind the 4 meepos together with key "1", and no more problems.

Also, it would be good to change the meepos hero icons with their colors too. It would help even more.

Most players bind the separate meepos to keys because they used to play ladder and are more comfortable with it.

Yea, I've been wanting to suggest this as well, so T-Up from me

This is just an example and is the way how i play... i feel more confortable to have all bindings near my fingers so i can use them very fast... but ofc you can play in your wayis no problem for that
