I loved the way valve responded to the voice of the gaming community. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the artwork of Valve in DotA2. HoN and LoL hired various artist to come up with unique hero models. As for valve, their heroes almost look the same but it's a good thing they always want to improve on their graphics. These screenshots were from a DotA2 blog showing the new looks of the heroes.
