Hello all!
Not sure if this should be in this forum, but the admins can move me if I am in the wrong spot.
Anyway,
I was thinking that when we summon the courier, each hero should have a custom thing that they say. Like, we have things they say when they get kills, things they say when they're just walking along, first blood, etc. But, when summoning the courier, they say nothing! It's just like a magical communication; they don't say anything, and I find it a bit weird. Also, there may be different ones for the various custom couriers that can be found/bought.

So, one of the things I thought might be funny would be, like, quoting Shakespeare:
"A Donkey, A Donkey, My Kingdom for a Donkey."
Because the courier is a donkey.
Also, this thing is a little silly, but the couriers could spawn with a custom name. (Paul?) There's a story behind that, but it's really silly and boring, so yeah.

But anyway, I think this thread can be used for suggestions on things the heroes can say (preferably for specific heroes, although there could be some more general ones) and also feedback on the idea itself. Thanks!

Wouldn't be a stretch for them with new heroes, but adding more voice content to already released heroes would mean they would need to get all the voice actors back for a single line. Awesome idea however I don't think it would come to fruition.

What about each courier has a different set of names they can randomly chose from.

Coolz! Mention my name?
Also, any way to combine quotes? I don't like to double-post, but I want to reply to everyone, so I'm gunna have to do it this way.

@Sarcyn:
Yeah, I was not sure how they did the voices. But, if the voice actors don't actually do more than one recording, (seems a bit ineffiecient) and they don't have them on standby to record more stuff, it could be a lot harder... I wasn't even quite seriously suggesting that it be put in the game, just seeing what everyone thought.

Also, Alctraz and a few of my other friends deserve some credit for this idea, as they helped me develop it during some games with them.

Hmm, that's a nice idea. But I doubt it will happen :(
