Was Pit Lord teased in the latest Dota 2 comic?

2 min read

It has been almost two years since a ne Dota 2 hero entered the scene, the last being Techies. Almost all heroes have been ported over to the new rendition of Defense of the Ancients, except for one – Pit Lord (Abyssal Underlord as he’s called now).

Players have been wondering, where is the Abyssal Underlord? Well, he might be close as Valve may have just teased him in the latest comic featuring compendium bonuses for Legion Commander, and a story board called “Tip of The Spears.”

This new comic, and compendium quest path for Legion Commander, is filled with Easter Eggs relating to the Bronze Legion, including the former commander who Eredin who takes a familiar form as the previous Legion Commander we knew from Dota 1.

002

In the comic the new Legion Commander speaks of her battle with Eredin, and being beaten to death, thrown in a pit, but escaping. Could this pit be the pit of the Abyssal Underlord? Perhaps. It is however teased at the end of the comic where we see a supposed pit with green flames and smoke rising. This could very well be the Abyssal Underlord rising from his pit.

023

It’s all just speculation for now, but the tease if definitely worth some investigation as this may just be the hint we needed. With the Dota 2 International fast approaching, the time is now for a new hero release. But who is Abyssal Underlord? New players might find this interesting.

Abyssal Underlord, in Dota 1, looked similar to the famed Demon Mannoroth from Warcraft, a character responsible for the Demon Blood which the Orcs drank before their second invasion of Azeroth. The “Pit Lord”, as he was known, had many abilities and was capable of wiping out entire civilizations being  noted as one of the strongest beings in the Warcraft world. WoW lore aside, Pit Lord in Dota 1 was an interesting hero. His abilities were fun, and his ultimate was the, well, ultimate cheese mechanic teleporting an entire team to a set location (tower or creep).

Naturally, Valve cannot use a similar lore with the Abyssal Underlord, but the premise under which he has been hinted makes for an interesting story as his arrival is surely close. All we can do now is hope, pray, and wait.

        “Almost all heroes have been ported over to the new rendition” he meant heroes from original Dota. Not lucky packet HoN heroes 😛

          “It has been almost two years since a ne Dota 2 hero entered the scene, the last being Techies.”

          New. Dota 2. He is wholly incorrect, and I am providing a source of information to prove it.

          Where do you get your substantiation about any difference between HoN and Dota? Further to that, you do know that all heroes currently in Dota2 exist in Dota1 right? In fact if you look at the provided link you will see which version of Dota1 each hero existed in. Where does HoN even enter into this discussion?

          Really now.

          Also side note: that typo! I didn’t notice the first time I read it XD

      Usually whenever a new Arcana or hero is released they make a comic giving you some back story. They’re pretty decent too.

    Pit Lord was prolly one of the most broken heroes back when I played on Twilight…

    Geez man, massive AoE spells, good tankie health-pool, good attack speed ( back in those days ) – when you got a BF on him, smash some creeps, root enemies, activate pulses, rain fire, TP out of there with a triple kill

    I wish he was in DotA 2 before I quit 🙁
