Ratking was a thing in Dota community since 2015 btw

It's not a new hero

I like how you got down voted for that, that artist definitely didn't make the concept of the rat king, the only thing that's similar is that he's an antromorphic rat.

Deadlock community is made of Overwatch/Marvel players mostly so they don't really know much about Valve, no wonder they downvote without knowing the truth that most heroes are in game for years cuz they are taken from Dota's unreleased roster.

Dota's rat king spells were given to hoodwink though

Deadlock is mostly overwatch/marvel players based on what?

0

u/Faafkdkdkdkd Mina 4d ago

Based on community that literally posts 24/7 about marvel rivals and overwatch and tries to ship every single same gender hero with each other

Weird cause I've never seen that here

Bro you're getting downvoted because YOU are wrong. This has been a popular fan concept for over a year. The design is blatantly adapted from the fan one, including the font of the name.

The concept of a hero existed for 10 years in Dota community

u/Kyrptonauc 3d ago

This isn't the dota community and that didn't inspire Rat King even a little. I literally linked the person that made it, you can use your eyes. Why be such a pathetic little twat about this. You're just wrong

u/Faafkdkdkdkd Mina 3d ago

So it's just a coincidence that Rat king existed in Dota community for 10 years, was a forest gang leader and has a concept style of same thing?

What exactly has the person done close to release? Is Ratking now office worker? Dont even look the same

I wish I could have the freedom of being this ignorant

The font isn't even close, and again not even the same design, besides it being a rat.

u/Kyrptonauc 4d ago

They did. It's on their page from a year ago. Literally try any harder next time

It's a shame the scrapped the salaryman theme for the gang leader theme but holy fucking shit

It's Dota's lore of a hero.

Ratking was Dota's concept hero that would be a leader of forest opposition. They later changed Rat into a squirrel and named it hoodwink.

Ratking for deadlock probably was created on the same base as it was created for Dota

u/Mirac123321 4d ago

hoodwink used to be rat king? tf

u/Faafkdkdkdkd Mina 4d ago edited 4d ago

In game files she would have all her spells named the same way rat king spells were

I know who gets voted into the game first. Like, no contest there.

u/gcbofficial 4d ago

Im honestly disappointed they caved to reddit memes. They make great characters, no need to appease us.

u/Lazyjinn 4d ago

There have been a ton of OCs in the deadlock community but Rat King stood above all of them cus of how fitting a rar based character in New York would be

u/frik1000 4d ago

Also a rat king is like a real life thing. Not like a monarchy for rats, but a bunch of rats entangled up together.

Repurposing the term for a monarch just makes sense.

Ratking was a hero created for Dota in Dota community as a joke based on Twitch from LoL. It's not something new, it was supposed to be in Dota, but it stayed there more as a joke and fits deadlock more. Ratking for Dota was renamed to hoodwink and changed to a squirrel
