Just been thinking about something. Is the reason Abbadon and Terrorblade haven't been released yet is because they're too OP? I don't know, but I noticed many of the unreleased heroes are kind of unusual compared to the heroes already in-game. Some examples would be Bristleback (direction based reduction), Techies, (suicide bombings) etc. Maybe Valve doesn't know what to do with them lol

could be, but you have to take inot account that they probably have the pro scene in their minds. and they are going to add the heroes who fit in the pro scene well. troll warlord can work realy well, he just need lifesteal and an attack modifier. terrorblade on the other hand, is more like medusa. he needs insane farm. and also, its much easier to program a troll warlord than a bristleback, although he was there in hon as armadon.

None of those are really OP. Terrorblade is more of a pubstomper, and Abbadon isn't OP at all. Neither are the other heroes you mentioned. They are just more unconventional heroes.

I believe they're holding back Terrorblade specifically because his kit is an absolute mess at the moment, I believe they're gonna re-re-remake him, he's changed quite often and they can't find a sweet spot for him.

Abbadon is not overpowered either, but Pitlord on the other hand is a major game changer and I think they're holding back on him for obvious reasons.

I don't think pitlord is that big of a deal honestly. Abbadon can be a huge pain in the *** if he gets the right start, great support-semicarry hero

as for TB, he had another remake after an amazing rework, which now basically makes him the same as last time except for one skill.... TB would have been huge in the game if he still had zeal etc.

He's just a mess, he needs a little more synchronization with his kit, he's all over the place.

Pitlord isn't even in CM and was top ban for awhile when he was. He's a huge impact.

Well.. he grabs every allied hero near him and teleports them to an allied structure. If I remember well.
