Mount Volcanex stands over the battleground of the ancients, for so long it has stayed dormant, but when Radiant heroes sought to take the power of lava to defeat Dire, Rotox, the guardian of Mount Volcanex, awoke. With a strong desire to defeat the Radiant intruders, he places his allegiance on the side of Dire. And may hold a strong role in this battle.

Nice idea, tons of burst damage on 1 hero! It's relatively simple, but what some people don't understand is that a hero doesn't need to have an overwhelmingly complex skillset to be interesting and unique. Though the concept is cool, I'd like to address some balance issues :D.

Molten shield is a little underwhelming, if you see Viper's Corrosive Skin, you'll know what I mean :).

Also, I think that unless Volcanic Eruption has a delay where it can be dodged (like with Earth Splitter), it does too much initial damage. I suggest reducing it to manageable levels if that is so.


I'm glad you joined the hero ideas "club", and I hope you'll make more interesting hero concepts!

Thank you! It's nice to see what other people think of my ideas. I buffed the molten shield and also added that burn gets passed onto enemies allies. I also nerfed the damage of Volcanic eruption slightly and added a delay. Thanks again :)

Although the idea for Rotrox is singularly unique and very powerful, I tend to have an issue with heroes who only have damage-dealing abilities. If he gets high enough mana, Q, W, R, plus passive means an easy kill. Cool down and repeat. I suggest perhaps converting "Magma Jet" into an AoE heal. For example, "Rotrox uses the healing power of fire to purge the illness from his allies," or something like that.

Thanks for the ideas, but I'd rather keep him as is. There a quite a few Dota 2 heroes which possess nothing but damaging abilities and passives (ie: Luna, Sniper) and I was hoping to make a semi-carry, nuker type hero. Thank you anyway, maybe you can make a hero using a similar ability to that? :)

I just enjoyed the relative simplicity of this hero after seeing so many complicated concepts, so I just had to :P


So anyway, welcome :D
