As one of the biggest MOBA games around, Dota 2 has a pretty packed line-up of heroes, with around 120 characters that each boasts their own distinct playstyle, theme, and appearance. Valve will of course spend a fair chunk of time designing and bringing them to life, but that doesn't mean the spirit of Dota 2's heroes can't be captured in a much, much shorter timeframe, as one fan has now proven.
Dota fan and Redditor LiquidEV has taken it upon themselves to achieve a tricky but highly creative feat - they've drawn each and every one of Dota 2's heroes, spending just one, single minute on each sketch. They've noted that there are "varying results", but if you flip through them (via the embed below), they're actually pretty brilliant across the board, and really capture the essence of each hero.
One of my particular favourites is Brewmaster, which you can find on slide 12. We can see the hefty, furry hero hoisting up his signature barrel above his head, along with his long, pointy ears and determined expression. Likewise, Enchantress (slide 33), Mirana (59), and Shadow Shaman (85) - who comes complete with a chicken to pick on - are all easy to spot a mile off.
