Best of Steam Workshop: January

Best of January Steam Workshop

Steam Workshop is a treasury of talents! Here you can find anything starting from small models and ending with global updates, which can easily overcome even the original itself. Dota 2 is also not an exception: craftsmen make custom games and create various very attractive sets. We are going to look at the latter, trying to highlight the most interesting works made in the first month of 2018.

Frost Djin by Dr. Robo

Is there a more winter-y hero than Ancient Apparition? Hardly! Therefore, the set made just for this hero is going to kick off our article.

Looking at it, it should be noted that the author decided not to go trivial by just altering the appearance of the hero, and dressed him in some clothes, which, some say, do not suit him very much, but on the other - create a special look. In addition, the book is a curious way to play around the hands of the character, which are constantly in the air.

Avenging Anchorite by growl

Quite a curious set for the Anti-Mage is somewhat spoiled by the hairstyle, beard, and bandage on the eye. The entire combination seems somewhat cumbersome and in some ways even unnecessary. However, the rest of the work looks really cool and interesting, and the head, if it comes to that, can always be replaced.

Eternal Frost by strnr

Another work for the character Ancient Apparition in today's issue. The author decided to make a set of ice outgrowths on the hero, because of what he turned out in some ways formidable or even evil.

Despite the fact that the set, for that reason, may somewhat unoriginal, the work itself is really well done and inevitably draws the attention towards itself.

Full Metal Techies 2018 by katzeimsack

You may love Techies or hate them, but one can't simply be indifferent towards the hero! One of the most controversial characters of the whole game got a curious set straight from 2015 when the hero did not have the official support of Steam Studio.

The author updated his work and reloaded it, but noted that it is open for discussion and for possible changes of certain details.

Gifts of the Ydnia by MisaMisa

A good set, which did not receive the due attention from the players. The Chinese author did a good job and even attached a small piece of lore regarding how exactly the Ember Spirit transformed into a djin.

Elements of the Seadrake by MisaMisa

An interesting and even, you can say, intimidating set for Tidehunter. Undoubtedly, the hero himself does not look particularly good-natured, but the players have compared him to watermelon more than once because of the appearance. In this particular guise, it causes exclusively fear, which is necessary for a dangerous inhabitant of the sea depths.

Heartbreaker by mihalceanu

A somewhat obvious idea was the first created work for a new character. Pangolier, almost like Zorro, wears a mask and hat, very organically fit to his image.

Even if the idea may not exactly be the most novel one, it should be noted that it was very well done indeed and would become a worthy candidate for making it into the gaming client.

Souls Tyrant by Viktor.avi

The best work of our release and pretty much, of the month. This set of Shadow Fiend, although changing him quite a lot visually, nonetheless does not conflict too much with the standard appearance, so the glance value is still there.

It is thanks to this feature, as well as high-quality appearance, that this set has all the chances, together with the users' love, to get into Dota 2 as well.
