Windranger has always been a popular hero in pub games, but she wasn’t always known as Windranger.
The brewmaster units from Warcraft 3 are in the same vein, coming from the drunken fist style which has roots in Shaolin kung fu. Though they were sparingly shown in Warcraft 3, they have been prominently featured in World of Warcraft and were portrayed as being similar to Shaolin monks. Pandaren are a race of panda bear hybrid creatures from Warcraft. In Defense of the Ancients, Mangix was a Pandaren. Instead, the Panda name stems from the species of the character. One of the weirder name connections in Dota 2 is Brewmaster being referred to as “Panda.” This is somewhat strange as his lore name is Mangix and there was no reference to a person named Panda in Warcraft. The hero having four different names throughout its existence has made for something of a meme unto itself. Fan backlash prompted Valve to change it yet again, finally landing on Outworld Devourer. For unknown reasons, Valve decided to change it again and moved to Outworld Demolisher. Originally, this was moved laterally to Outworld Destroyer. Though the general look was carried over into Dota 2, with the hero being a flying quadruped made of stone, Valve seemed to struggle with coming up with a new name that wasn’t identical to the Warcraft 3 monster. In the original DotA, the Obsidian Destroyer mob was repurposed and turned into a playable hero of the same name. Outworld Devourer has undergone multiple name changes Why was the item named for Lothar when he didn’t turn invisible? That’s a very good question that may not have an answer. The item was originally named Lothar’s Edge as an homage to Warcraft character Anduin Lothar, Supreme Commander of the Alliance.
While it is uncertain as to what is being sought inside the icy tomb, players must traverse uncharted lands and battle treacherous new enemies to uncover the schemes of these nefarious beings, and save all of Azeroth from the forces of darkness.So where did the name Lothar’s Edge come from? Defense of the Ancients, of course. As the saga continues, it is revealed that both the Night Elf renegade, Illidan, and the traitorous Death Knight, Arthas, seek the Icecrown glacier and the mysterious powers found inside. Although the former Orc Shaman lacks physical form, his soul lives on, forever seeking a means to escape his icy prison. The evil Lich King Ner'zhul has been imprisoned inside the Icecrown glacier, deep within the arctic continent of Northrend. Several months have passed since Archimonde and the Burning Legion were defeated at the battle of Mount Hyjal, yet a new threat has arisen throughout the land.
In the single-player campaign, players revisit the war-torn world of Azeroth. Following in the tradition of previous Blizzard expansion sets, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne provides gamers with a vast new chapter in the epic Warcraft saga.
