    I'm not sure if I'm right in my assumption, I'm just a bit of Dwarf fan .
    Zeus' in-game model was the one of Mountain King.

    Zeus being the king of a mountain makes perfectly logical sense though...

    well, I try to find joy in everything, be it a good game or a pathetic defeat.
    if we win - I am happy due to the fact, and when we lose due to enemy team being better, well , it was a good game then, I've had fun during the game, and if we lose 'cause of retarded teammates who dont speak/think/see - well, I can always have some fun insulting them in a way which is both funny(for me) and grave(for them)

    tl;dr is - no matter what you do, always try to find joy in what you do :P

    Could always go the route of FFXI, and have a built in translator... tho FFXI was a bit easier as it was just English and Japanese... and the options of words were limited.... but that lead to great creative translations on both parts... was an interesting experience.

    Ah okay. Bit of shame that Zeus is the complete opposite to Mountain King, at least what I thought the Mountain King was like (Avatar, Stormbolt) although I suppose that's more like Sven.

    But Zeus is the king of a mountain. How does it not make sense. ._.

    There's absolutely no reason to region lock MM. It would hurt players a lot more than help them, and I really doubt it will happen. Some kind of language filter is currently being worked on by Valve, but how restrictive it will be is another thing.

    Only problem with language filters... is people will still check them... even if they don't speak the language. The reasons could be vast, though I bet the highest ones will always be trolling and larger pool of players meaning better chance of getting good team mates.

    I still think there should be a way to surrender if all teammates agree to do it. Sometimes you are just hopeless behind call GG stand afk in base and the otherteam will farm items and xp and when then they are high level enough to do that they go farm us in fountain and we have to wait untill creeps have destroyed the base. A surrender option based on how long time have you played, how many kills are you behind, how many levels are you behind. It's so lame to sit around 20 minuts to wait for the team to destroy your base so you can move onto a new game.

    Yes, I really doubt the language filter can be directly enforced, but it has the implication that they could flag some servers as English-speaking servers and make not speaking English in them reportable, and then prevent reported players from playing on them for a while.

    Well like I mentioned I'm probably confusing myself, but I was implying this bloke - http://classic.battle.net/war3/human...tainking.shtml. The only good mountain king, is a Dwarf mountain king!
    I said I had no idea if he was ever put into the original DOTA, but I thought given how they were all characters from WC3 that he'd be in there.
    The mountain king I had in mind is a dual wielding brawler, whereas Zeus is a glass cannon.

    DOTA 2 needs another Dwarf character!

    Zeus, King of Mountain Olympus.

    No, I'm not seeing mountain king anywhere in that. Maybe you should see a psychiatrist.
