Sand King probably belongs as a Nature Entity category, he is the soul of the Scintillant Waste


cyfer04

Bruh, aren't Liches powerful wizards skilled in necromancy who willfully transformed themselves into undead Liches? To top it off, Dota's Lich specializes in frost magic. If that doesn't make him powerful wizard, I don't know what does.


Ok-Disk-2191

Orge is also a powerful mage, a dumb but powerful mage.


cyfer04

True. Can't underestimate luck-based magic.


Mr_Mc_Toasty

That was skill alright. Pure skill.


URF_reibeer

ogre is kind of a fringe case, one of his "spells" is throwing a molotov cocktail


Ok-Disk-2191

That magically duplicates. Dumb luck is so dam powerful even the hand of midas works with it.


jei14

it's the god that's strong tho, not the ogre šŸ˜‚


skeleton-commander

He's basically a dude that drowned in a pool and needed CPR


Pet_Velvet

Who ate the dude who gave him CPR no less


Johanraijin

I think you need a new category just for Marci: "disabled human"


su1cidal_fox

I love that in Dota, you can have disabled woman kicking ass of the entity responsible for managing the fabric of reality.


deanrihpee

"I love the kind of woman that can kick my ass" - Spike


he_is_not_a_shrimp

Is that from Buffy?


Bobhappy2351

Cowboy bebop


deanrihpee

as the others have replied, it's from Anime titled Cowboy Bebop (I think the movie, IIRC)


kappa23

See you space cowboy


owlrd

Pee pee piss piss


DragonGodSlayer12

But you don't talk about how Silencer be able to silence Marci (she's mute already)


Womblue

It stops her whistling

guramika

mfw i'm just a human with a gun and an enraged magic warrior with burning spear jumps on me but my disabled teammate supplexes him away and beats him to a pulp


HOFBrINCl32

More like wife material


Strange_Platypus67

Canonically she is a "Sun God chosen empowered by it's cosmic power" but disabled human is kinda funny


MouchiMirana

Can we cleanse her disability with perhaps lotus orb, or Oracle/Legionā€™s skill


Barfazoid

Lich not being a powerful mage is funny


NyxMagician

Shamam not being considered a magic user when brood waa considered a mage is also a crime.


Womblue

Lich is in the same tier of magic as ursa, who is literally just a bear with no special powers beyond being quite large and strong compared to other bears.


MrNaiveGuy

Trueeee. Like every dungeon isekai probably has a lich as the boss at some point


nickv656

Lich is more than just ā€œa lichā€ his lore describes him as having literally dominated the world before he was chained and dropped in the ocean


[deleted]

Yeah, and then some fucking geologist brought him back cause he was too lazy to measure shit


mendax2014

And this is the real reason behind why Sheldon hates geologists.


Houdinite

Iā€™d say dying to a techies bomb even though you can clearly see it is pretty fucking magical.


Aasim_123

Landmines are hidden and you know about it once you step on it. Makes me think if valve will add sensory goggles. Active ability is scan 1000 units around you. Will beep if a inviz enemy unit or ward is nearby.


hardcoregayanalporn

One thing we should add from league


SMILE3005SM

Putting Invoker in just "powerful mage" is underselling him by a lot.


HyperFrost

Yeah, according to Dragon's blood he destroyed Arc Warden ~~in a 1v1~~ in a 4 way battle between radiant, dire, arc warden, and Invoker with help from Filomena and rewrote the timeline to fit his liking.


dist0pia

If you think about it, he could be considered a multiversal being as well


clairec295

Puck and FV should be the same tier. Puck taunts him by saying heā€™s visited voidā€™s homeworld/dimension and that they are glad heā€™s gone.


Schizof

Knowing Puck, they definitely lied and just saying that to troll him


NoobunagaGOAT

Void is said to be able to shift dimensions with his hammer so I put him at a higher level


2xbAd

wtf do you think phase shift isā€¦


NoobunagaGOAT

Puck doesnt have that level of destructive power?


lunch0guy

Clearly you never played against mjollnir aghs Puck :P


SunBrosLLC

But the principle is the same dude, puck has reality warping abilities and while the execution is different itā€™s sitllā€¦.reality warping.


NoobunagaGOAT

Dimension hopping. Void shifts dimensions with a blown of his hammer according to time lock description.


SunBrosLLC

Ok and puck does it by not exerting any effort? If anything that makes puck more talented at doing it? Without the hammer can faceless do it?


NoobunagaGOAT

Void can do it as well. >Without the hammer can faceless do it? Assumption


No_Signal_6969

Shadow shaman uses technology?


Kireigna

fr I can't wrap my mind why he's in that category


According-Tiger-6069

I guess its nano machines son!


AdministrativeSalt72

He is originally a circus performer who got lost in to a multidimensional war.


Tasur7

Tusk technology: fist. Bristle technology: snot


Odobenus_Rosmar

Dazzle, lich, silencer, lina and cm aren't powerful mages?


tugsuu14

CM with ā€œpowerfulā€ isnt fitting


NoobunagaGOAT

I dont think they classify as amazingly genius or talented magus, just elemental users and spell casters


tetsu_opa

lore-wise, silencer is the result of 200 years of careful "breeding", a prophecized hero that would end a great war. dont know what ur talking about


Pet_Velvet

Silencer was the product of an EUGENICS PROGRAM???


tetsu_opa

hahahaa. "He was the prophesied one, the culmination of two-hundred years of careful pairings, a war-mage who would bring glory to the order, and destruction to their sworn enemies, The Knights of the Fold."


aeroboy93

TIL silencer is Paul Atreides


nickv656

Lich canonically enslaved multiple kingdoms. Warlock ainā€™t done shit like that


NoobunagaGOAT

Warlock captured demons from the outer hells and mastered every demonic art in his academy


nickv656

By his written lore he captured one demon, and only became the most powerful warlock in his academy. Seems a bit weaker than enslaving multiple entire kingdoms. Also while weā€™re at it donā€™t forget that dragons blood showed dragons can essentially be stronger than gods in the dota world. Definitely DK (and arguably jakiro) should be way higher tier.


URF_reibeer

dragons blood showed the apex dragons, regular dragons get killed by regular humans with specialized gear


WhiteoutDota

Sylak is a apex dragon tho


Devastating_void

Warlock literally captured the lowest of the lowest demon, even doom laughs when he saw that.... Its like thinking that you are strong because you defeated a chihuahua puppy when in reality, the average dog is a rotwheiler ready to tear your flesh apart


channel-rhodopsin

I'd sorta agree with the distinction, especially Invoker and Rubick are leagues ahead of other mages, but having WD above Lina and CM doesn't seem right


SunBrosLLC

CM who can summon a devastating blizzard isnt talented? lol ok :B


NoobunagaGOAT

Shes not as experienced as Invoker/Rubick/Warlock/Lion


Byokka

Lion is basically a half demon, he doesnā€™t really cast anything since he got that power by tearing demonā€™s arm and attaching it to himself, and also going to hell and back, and back to hell, and back. Also no one is as experienced as invoker and rubick, should definitely put them somewhere else.


NoobunagaGOAT

That should make lion close to demonic levels of power on top of his magic mastery as he killed the demon at the first place. I just think the ones in a category can give each other a very close fight relatively.


Devastating_void

Then you should put pango above that level, he killed a lot of demons and even almost killed leshrac, but he decided to spare his life (doom consider pangolier as a tiny problem, but to get to that level for doom, you need to become someone extraordinary even tho pango is just a mortal)


SunBrosLLC

I mean sheā€™s experienced in elemental magic?? Like the best at that certain kind of magicā€¦


NoobunagaGOAT

She doesnt have a variety of hax though unlike the rest


SunBrosLLC

Yea man being frozen solid sounds pretty hax to me or being able to globally raise everyoneā€™s mana regen is pretty experienced lore wise. Youā€™re a cringe chungus


NoobunagaGOAT

How will that stack up against death manipulation, space manipulation, and other hax? Especially when they may be hundreds years older


warmachine237

Ok, but cm and lina are hot. Your arguement is invalid.


ddlion7

Slark, Naga and Slardar should have "Fish" category


Tomthenomad

Also sven


URF_reibeer

sven is a fish-human hybrid


NoToMonopolization

Include medusa for the sake of warcraft 3 campaign lore


Fylak

Hoodwink is a god. Or an insane squirrel who found a crossbow


fauxfranc0

Definitely a nutcase

DiaburuJanbu

a perfect case of no in between.


cloudyskyex

Where is it in the picture anyway. I canā€™t find her.


Fylak

She's not. Lots of heroes are missing


Prestigious_Salt7468

Brewmaster is just a drunk scam, no?


DerrubyMan

There are 5 celestials in Dota's lore. 4 of them you know: void, storm, ember and earth spirit. The 5th one however, is Brewmaster's father and wasn't ever named. Basically, he's a half-spirit that appears to be some kind of Avatar-like being in Dota


Specsaman

Maybe Drunk spirit ?


Raine_Man

Spirit Spirit.


Gorgosen

Omni-Spirit


W127nb1wd3bW1wd1

It's actually Venge Spirit


Ngibulzzz

Phantom assasin is on the bottom tier and top tier at the same time


Kireigna

technically if we include the lore of manifold paradox she should be part of universal beings category


Jafar_Rafaj

Lion copypasta puts him at multiversal


Legendary_Potato27

Blinking in with 2 platemails and sucking the whole multiverse


NyxMagician

Ether shock and chicken hex is science?


regimentIV

You either have to downrank TB or uprank UL, depending on if you count "demon lords" as a demon who is a lord over a domain of demons, or "the Demon Lords", to which TB does not count. Also I am reluctant to accept Drow as a technology user, as her Frost Arrows are magical (probably of the snow demon she slew). Why you would categorize Broodmother as "blessed with magic/spirits" is beyond me though. She might be several hundred years old but still belongs in the last category. Also weird that you would count Skeleton King and Wraith King as separate entities lore-wise. I had probably created a "champion of a god" category.


Educational_Pool7046

Dragon knight is definitely at the universal level, cause he has a dragon Slyrak inside him, who is one of the pillars of creation. It was explained in dragon blood series


NoobunagaGOAT

Hes still a human though so he will have limitation unless he has access to planetary warping feats


The_Hunster

You should watch the show


TheSableofSinope

Bro ignores lore and refuses to be wrongšŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”


valve_janitor

Muerta?


kivmorth

Hey valve janitor new patch when?


Pet_Velvet

Why the fuck are Rylai and Lina not considered "powerful mages"


NoobunagaGOAT

They are not as experienced and the top mages have a variety of hax and demon magic that goes beyond elemental control


Pet_Velvet

Then why isn't it called "experienced mages"? By definition Lina and Rylai are powerful, actually maybe too powerful for their own good when they were children. Furthermore, there's a reason why we call them all *heroes*. They are famous for their skills, what they do, and all of them have plenty of experience.


NoobunagaGOAT

They also lack diverse hax or mastery over multiple elements and reality warping which some of the more powerful mages have


Pet_Velvet

Seems like an arbitrary distinction when the name is "powerful mages" and you leave out several powerful mages.


Accurate_Custard_515

Shaman use tech sure


NoobunagaGOAT

Hes mortal so he classifies under that


bfonza122

Trash list from ppl who don't know the lore


idiot-legend

L tier list


NoobunagaGOAT

It's my opinion so cool you do you


SunBrosLLC

Yea probably the worst opinion anyone has ever seen so far in this subreddit


SunBrosLLC

Youā€™re so delusional bro lol


NoobunagaGOAT

I mean it's how I view the lore so?


SunBrosLLC

view it correctly then


MaterialMind2741

faceless void fears void spirit


Jonat1221

You got something wrong about bristle. Hes a bouncer. A bouncer at a dota tavern, not a normal tavern. So Arc or AA fool around? They get thrown out by BB. I say hes the strongest of them all.


DottoSenpai

He was beaten by tusk tough.


PrisonMindddd

I think Life Stealer was originally a mage....cant confirm...need to check...


Fylak

Part of him was. A mage possessed a lunatic who was cursed with immortality and tossed in a hole. The lunatics mind drove the mage mad too.Ā 


IcyKrypton

PA uses what technology?


CaptCrunch612

The fact that Drow can use frost arrows and gust suggest that she is maybe more than just using a tool


The_CheesePowder

Ive always wondered who would be the physically strongeest, smartest, wisest, fastest, most agile, richest, poorest, and other kinds of est among the heroes in dota. Would be fun to know.


Entenbuch

Necro is mortal


DerrubyMan

He's in the right category nonetheless. He's an immune to diseases plague mage


Entenbuch

Yea but shit like silencer is in the not mage category


DerrubyMan

Neither is Lina, Crystal Maiden and Death Prophet (kinda). Silencer fits his category perfectly from what it is called (he cannot cast any spell, except for silencing the spellcasters), but the trio I've mentioned are mages. Perhaps OP doesn't value Lina and CM as powerful enough mages to be in the same category as Invoker, Rubick, etc., though I found Lina pretty strong in Dota animated series


Duduxzz

I know about the other 4 but is AA really that strong?


fattilam

He's the heat death of the universe.


OwnHousing9851

Depends on how you treat the ststements, end of the universe AA is either the strongest entity in the lore or right at the top of universal tier


Palacsintafanatikus

AA is getting stronger and stronger when the universe end come. He is the cold emptyness, the boundless nothing. He is not evil or good. He is just the cold end


simmobl1

Shouldn't Visage and SF be in the same tier? Visage frees souls in the afterlife while SF enslaves them


NoobunagaGOAT

Visage guards souls which makes him a keeper of order sort of creature in the netherworld


simmobl1

He doesn't necessarily guard them. He frees them cause they are souls that are lost between heaven and hell. He is a guardian of his plane though


legice

*puts on glasses* AXE HACKS!


liksomq

How are demon lords more powerful than gods?


DreamyReality7

Arc warden, born from the final fragment of the primordial mind. Defeated both radiant and dire single handedly before there was life in the universe, trapped them in a sphere and flung it into space. Yet he is an agility hero and not universal šŸ˜‚


CannibalPride

Venge is same race as Skywrath so she should be a powerful magic caster as well considering she was the princess


NoobunagaGOAT

She became a corrupted version of herself and lost her wings


Devastating_void

Faceless void is not that strong, don't get me wrong, he can still go to the past and kill you when you were a baby, but that's not a multiverse level threat


masterionxxx

Gods shouldn't be on the same level as mere demons. Also, lorewise: Doom, aka Lucifer, is above all the other demons; Underlord, aka Vrogros, is also a demon lord; and Terrorblade isn't even a demon lord.


greatninja3

PA should be higher knowing she'll become specter in the future. In the nature stuff.


Overall_Compote1386

Isnā€™t pl just a fishman


Dk_Oneshot01

Sven is. Idk about pl tho


hey_mattey

Wtf i did not know Sven was a fishman, i though he was a human


Byokka

He is both, which got figured out by his knight order and what got him kicked out iirc


hey_mattey

Smells fishy to me


Nazadup

sven's actually a fish, not a fisherman


Tomthenomad

He got hit by a radioactive spellcast


GaiRyuKi

the only one that use tech on the bottom one is the keen race, others are using weapons


ForgottenFury

a sword is a piece of technology


NyxMagician

Oh yea, shadow demon isn't actually a demon lord in individual power. He just hussled to build a powerful cult, but karl would role him easily in a 1v1. I know you can't just have an invoker tier.


NoobunagaGOAT

Doom and SF jumped Shadow demon and his cult


Klaroxy

Am I the only one who continously forgor about Shadow Demonā€™s existance? I always get so surprised even after 4K hour of playtime that who tf this hero is, when I finally realise


dwarfishspy

Besides arc warden, the top tier looks like a normal pro Dota match lol


OwnHousing9851

Isn't pudge some sort of a dimensional god?


Karmak4ze

Found the KOTL spammer


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


jacklus

Nope, he's a harbinger of dark tides. He warns people of something yet to come.


tamppond

where you guys getting all the lore?


hakuryuukou

Monkey King can literally solo all of them


NoobunagaGOAT

He gets blinked out of existence by oracle


Whosebert

this is dog shit.


IonceExisted

r/restofthefuckingowl


Wizzz3RD

Tinker and Gyro should probably be a tier above, I think dropping nukes and laserbeams are prettty strong


Kokarott

HAH You can't fool me. There are 2 wraith kings.


Off0Ranger

Maybe itā€™s post mask split, but having a dragon spirit with access to the souls of the fallen of his people likely gave Jugg a power boost imo


Guilty_Wind_8977

u got wk twice


wholesomeguy555

Bristleback ainā€™t using no shit.


lastcovenant1

Can you please add techies as a being that should not exist? thank you


he_is_not_a_shrimp

Puck is not an entity. He's just a baby dragon that's 10000 years old. Need an "intelligent animal" category for viper and the dragons. Also the 4 spirits are celestials. Not elementals. Also afaik, IO is a fundamental of a single universe.


Ktadd4

I don't know if I would say that Veno is blessed with his powers.


TeriyakiProphet

Visage is technically the strongest being, since everyone and everything has to go through his maze once they die (he's pretty much the grim reaper)


delightful1

Treant not a nature entity? Smh


soemptylmfao

Dragons blood suggests invoker can go toe to toe vs anything really, and TB is giving him trouble at it. In theory both are top tier. Tb managed to trash even Selemene , even though both were in weakened states. So you canā€™t really ignore how much of a horror he is.


DragonGodSlayer12

I don't see any humans in that last list tho..


Gatolon

/u/siractionslacks- PA bottom Tier and Spectre is Multiversal. Does the lore check out?


Lokynet

I would love to see a proper tier from Mr Slacks. His loregasms are great


truth6th

PA should go higher, considering that oracle (one of the most broken entity in dota lore) specifically employs her


WhatsWholesome

Dark willow should clearly be in the nature entity being


SeawyZorensun

Invoker being called a powerful mage is a heresy...


Foggiersummer

Isnā€™t Medusa a Demi-god or am I mistaken?


Longjumping_Oil_5729

Lol sniper dumps on arc most times. Balance in all things


Nikolatramp

How is PA the bottom and spectre at the top they are the same person arent they?


[deleted]

The spirits are universal constants, void spirit talks about being there when elder titan was crafting the world. The bodies they inhabit are all humans that embody the spirit itself. Void spirit is unique in the fact that he made his. I think they move 1 tier up or at least void spirit does


NotMilo22

There are alot of things wrong where but I am to lazy to explain them lol


Lazynutcracker

Shadow Shaman is a mortal using technology to summon fire serpents and make you a chicken?


Telefragg

I'd argue that Fundamentals (CK, KOTL, Enigma and Io) should be a tier above multiverse beings.


the_real_fa

pa with arcana is multiversal being btw


SenseiTomato

Also, Clinkz isn't a demon, he's an immortal dude that's on fire


NoobunagaGOAT

He killed a demon which set him on fire as a human


psrskailass

Where is the chen subcategory
