7
8	[[folder:Nigel]]
9	The titular reporter, Nigel has participated in the game as an in-game hero, a shopkeeper, a courier, and eventually one of the players in his adventures to learn the mechanics of DOTA 2.
10	* ButtMonkey: Of the physical variety mostly, having been hooked by Pudge, smacked by Nature's Prophet, and Counter-Helixed by Axe. However, any of his own deliberate attempts at humor tend to blow up in his face as well.
11	* {{Courier}}: In Seasons 1 and 2.
12	* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Nature's Prophet kills him in Episode 27. However, since he's the Radiant team's courier for that game, he respawns in Episode 29.
13	* DemotedToExtra: While the earliest episodes focused heavily on him learning the most basic of mechanics, he got gradually less screen time as a courier, and even less as a spectator. He hasn't even appeared at all in a few episodes. However he starts getting more screen time after [[spoiler: Taking control of Phoenix after its original player abandons the game.]]
14	* FragileSpeedster: As a flying Courier, he's weak and easy to kill, while being a key part of his team's logistics. At the same time, he can fly over unpathable terrain and can temporarily reach the max movespeed in the game. This allows him to fly off past the Dire team in Season 1, distracting them for a crucial few moments and buying time for the Radiant to respawn.
15	* HeroicSacrifice: Attempts this in the Season 1 Finale, when he takes off on his jetpack to distract the Dire team from destroying their barracks. Given that he appears again at the end of the episode, he most likely evaded them, but the thought was still there.
16	* TheKirk: To Enigma's [[TheMccoy McCoy]] and Rubick's [[TheSpock Spock]].
17	* TheLancer: To Enigma in season 3, when Rubick is on the enemy team and had to replace a player.
18	* MoralityPet: To Enigma.
19	* MrExposition: He has a habit of narrating what certain heroes are doing as it happens on-screen.
20	* NiceGuy: Very much so. He's been shown countless times to have much more patience and empathy with failing players than most of the other heroes playing do, which is impressive considering the reputation DOTA 2's playerbase has gathered.
21	* OnceAnEpisode: "Hello and welcome to a new DOTA 2 Report." To the point where Enigma wonders where the hell Nigel is when he ''doesn't'' say it at the start of an episode.
22	* PhraseCatcher: "You're just gonna have to accept this and move on."
23	* UnluckyEverydude: He has it rough hanging out with entities such as Enigma and Rubick.
24	[[/folder]]
25
26	[[folder:Rubick]]
27	* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: The first sign that he's not all there in the head. It vanishes as his wackiness is dialed back.
28	* TheAce: As shown in Episode 10 when he takes on Bane, Faceless Void, and Dark Seer by himself and wins.
29	* HazyFeelTurn: In Season 3, he's on the Radiant team while Enigma is on the Dire.
30	* HypercompetentSidekick: With the exception of season 3, he is usually second in command of Enigma, despite being much more competent than him.
31	* {{Flanderization}}: Inverted. In earlier episodes, he was a wacky but competent player. Later on, his competence is played up while his wackiness is dialed way back.
32	* FaceDoodling: Subjects Faceless Void to this after stealing his Chronosphere.
33	* FriendlyEnemy: With Enigma in Season 3.
34	* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: He never seems to have a problem with losing, as the end of Seasons 2 and 3 show.]]
35	* IdiotBall: Grabs it in the latter half of Season 3, where he heads off into a lane on his own to farm, presumably without wards, [[spoiler:which allows Tidehunter, Crystal Maiden, and Phoenix to easily kill him, which ''then'' snowballs into the rest of the Dire team killing most of the Radiant team and pushing down their barracks.]]
36	* TheLeader: [[spoiler: Of Season 3, being on the opposing side to Enigma and Nigel while more-or-less acting as the leader of the Radiant team.]]
37	* MadHatter:
38	--> '''Enigma:''' Rubick, you're a crazy f[[SoundEffectBleep -BEEP]], aren't you?
39	--> '''Rubick:''' Yup!
40	* NiceGuy: Though he's not immune to [[RageBreakingPoint losing his temper if a game goes too badly]], as Episode 28 shows.
41	* RedOniBlueOni: The insane red to Enigma's reserved and sarcastic blue, at first. However, the roles were flipped later with Rubick becoming the nice and professional blue to Enigma's fiery and jerk-ish red.
42	* TrrrillingRrrs: "I am the Grrrrrandest Magus!"
43	* VisualGag: He's seen picking up a Rubix Cube in his very first appearance.
44	* VocalEvolution: He seems to have changed voice actors at some point.
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Enigma]]
48	* AscendedExtra: First appeared in Episode 4 at the end to fall victim to Tusk. He eventually went on to become 1 of the 2 most iconic heroes of the series.
49	* ButtMonkey: Especially early on.
50	* CharacterDevelopment: Becomes less of a jerk as the series progresses, due to hanging around [[MoralityPet Nigel]]. Just compare his treatment of Pudge in Season 1 to how he treats Tidehunter in Season 3.
51	* DeadpanSnarker: His defining character trait. Special mention goes to when Tidehunter claims that he didn't realize he was alive:
52	-->''"Is the state of being alive a hard concept to grasp!? Uh, check your pulse, yup, still alive!"''
53	* FriendlyEnemy: With Rubick in Season 3.
54	* HowDoIShotWeb: He doesn't know how to use his Blink Dagger when he first buys it, prompting him to get killed by Tiny.
55	* IconicItem: No matter how long it takes him, he always builds a Blink Dagger.
56	* {{Jerkass}}: Initially, as he ditches the rest of the Radiant team to find better players to play with, then continues to slander Pudge afterwards when he continues to screw things up. [[TookALevelInKindness Thankfully, he gets better]].
57	* IWantSong: "Enigma in the jungle! Enigma in the jungle!"
58	* NotTheIntendedUse: Throughout the series, Midnight Pulse has been more useful to Enigma to clear trees than it has been to deal damage.
59	* OnlySaneMan: And he's fully aware of this when faced with teammates such as [[KindheartedSimpleton Tidehunter]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe Invoker]].
60	* RedOniBlueOni: The snarky and reserved blue to the literally bonkers Rubick's red at first. [[CharacterizationMarchesOn However, the roles reverse as the series progresses]], with Rubick being the rational, kind blue to Enigma's hot-tempered red.
61	* SirSwearsALot: He provides most of the series's [[SoundEffectBleep Sound Effect Bleeps]] due to how often he curses.
62	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Walks out on the Radiant team in Episode 8. [[OnSecondThought He comes back to them after getting even worse allies]].
63	* StoryBreakerPower: Chances are if his team wins a team fight, it's because Enigma landed a good Black Hole.
64	* TookALevelInBadass: Started off constantly screwing up his Black Hole, blinking into trees and getting stuck, and overall was just getting thrown around by everyone early on. Come Season 3, and not only does he land almost every Black Hole, he's also learned advanced tactics such as baiting enemies, sending his eidolons to earn him money while he's busy running, and then using more eidolons to [[TakingYouWithMe kill the enemy that killed him moments before]].
65	* VoiceOfTheLegion: Similar to his appearance in the actual game.
66	[[/folder]]
67
68	[[folder:Pudge]]
69	* ButtMonkey: Enigma never gives him a break. Even Rubick got mad at him in their debut appearance.
70	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: In Season 2, one of Invoker's [[KillSat sunstrikes]] blows him up, leaving only his burning legs behind. He respawns later though.
71	* DelayedReaction: "Missing Middle!"
72	* DemotedToExtra: In Season 3, where he's relegated to being a cameo as Radiant team's courier.
73	* TheDogBitesBack: His entire appearance in Season 2 can be summed up as this against Enigma. [[spoiler: [[TheBadGuyWins He even manages to win the match in the end.]]]]
74	* HazyFeelTurn: He's on the Dire team in Season 2, making him an enemy to Enigma and Rubick.
75	* The Leader: Of enemy tema in Season 2, being the mid laner as well as the enemy with the most personal ties to the Radiant team.
76	* TheLoad: Literally rots himself to death, misses hooks on stationary targets, doesn't react to being attacked, and doesn't warn his team that Huskar is missing until ''after'' he's already ganked bottom and killed everyone but Rubick.
77	* OhCrap: After noticing that 4 enemies are pushing his mid tower down.
78	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Has literally no reaction to getting a flaming spear lodged in his chest via Huskar.
79	[[/folder]]
80
81	[[folder:Roshan]]
82
83	* AdaptationalBadass: In Season 1, When a team including a fully armed anti-mage seemed incapable of hurting him, in actual game the team would have defeated him..
84	* ButtMonkey: Literally exists just to be killed by the heroes over and over again.
85	* VillainDecay: In the first season, a team of late-game heroes seemed unable to beat him. In seasons 2 and 3, he can be killed in the mid-game.
86	[[/folder]]
87	!Season 1
88
89	[[folder:Anti-Mage]]
90	* TheAce: Even after several seasons have passed, Anti-Mage is still one of the most competent heroes shown in-story.
91	* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: A fan of this, he tries to come up with one when faced with Faceless Void, but promptly gives up when he can't think of a synonym for "soon" that starts with the letter "R".
92	--> '''Anti-Mage:''' No matter, your rapid ruin will arrive really[[{{Beat}} ...]] promptly!
93	* BatmanGambit: Pulls one in Episode 17 by using his Manta Style and having one of his clones run from the enemy team while he and the other clone attack the tower. The Dire attack the clone, believing that the one fleeing is the real Anti-Mage.
94	* BrilliantButLazy: Despite being a mostly competent player, his main flaw seems to be his borderline obsession with just staying in his lane and farming all day.
95	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
96	--> '''Nigel:''' So... why are you called the "Anti-Mage"?
97	--> '''Anti-Mage:''' I don't like magic. At all...
98	* FreudianExcuse: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]]. Apparently he doesn't like magic because a magician punched him in the face when he was a child.
99	* LiteralMinded: When asked how the gold his team just earned for him tastes, he actually starts licking it.
100	* MrExposition: Spends the first episode explaining to Nigel the game's objective and what they should do in a round's early stages.
101	* PutOnABus: Leaves when Season 1's match ends. His only reappearance after that is in the ChristmasSpecial.
102	[[/folder]]
103
104	[[folder:Dazzle]]
105	* PerpetualSmiler
106	* PokemonSpeak: "DAZZLE!"
107	* PutOnABus: After Season 1's match ends, he never appears again.
108	* SupportPartyMember: Episode 5 is centered around him [[SubvertedTrope subverting this]] [[UnwantedAssistance in the worst way possible.]]
109	* WhatTheHellHero: All over the place in Episode 5. Pudge is visibly unhappy when Dazzle takes a Double Damage rune for himself while Pudge was trying to refill his bottle, Ursa got mad when Dazzle stole the Aegis from him, and Anti-Mage was ''pissed'' when Dazzle stole a kill (and lots of gold as a result) from him under the veil of "kill-securing."
110	[[/folder]]
111
112	[[folder:Windrunner]]
113	Note: Her time on the show was ''before'' her name was changed to Windranger in the actual game.
114	* CurbStompCushion: In the ChristmasSpecial, she manages to kill a lot of creeps.
115	* TheHyena
116	* PutOnABus: Never reappears after Season 1 ends.
117	* {{Troll}}: She clearly has alot of fun annoying the Radiant team.
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Bane]]
121	* BlindMistake: In his first appearance, he [[EpicFail uses Nightmare on his ally Enigma instead of Ogre Magi.]]
122	* HazyFeelTurn: Spends one episode on Enigma's team before spending the rest of the season as part of the Dire.
123	* PutOnABus: Never reappears after Season 1 ends.
124	* TookALevelInBadass: In his first appearance he's so incompetent he accidentally uses Nightmare on Enigma before dying off-screen to Ogre Magi moments later. On the Dire, he's able to use Fiend's Grip on Anti-Mage without issue.
125	* SupportPartyMember: Evidently in Season 1, as he used a Force Staff to free Huskar from a cliff he got stuck on.
126	* VerbalTic: "Natascha!"
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Faceless Void]]
130	* CaneFu: [[SubvertedTrope Not really.]] He never does any real damage to enemies until after he trades it in for his signature mace.
131	* DisabledMeansHelpless: He Time Walks into a tree multiple times.
132	* EvilCripple: Post-Episode 8.
133	* HazyFeelTurn: Spends one episode on Enigma's team before spending the rest of the season as part of the Dire.
134	* TheLeader: Of enemy team in Season 1, being the hero with the most spoken lines.
135	* PutOnABus: Never reappears after Season 1 ends.
136	* TookALevelInBadass: He learned how to use echo-location to find his enemies. After the revelation, he demonstrates his newfound power by using Chronosphere to kill the entire Radiant team sans Anti-Mage.
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Huskar]]
140	* ButtMonkey: He spends 3 episodes stuck on a cliff thanks to Rubick.
141	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Initially, he is shown to be speaking where he request Pudge to have the spear back. Subsequent appearances have him being silent, only speaking through grunts and laughs.
142	* HyperspaceArsenal: This series pokes fun at this trope by having Huskar ask Pudge for his spear back after he's already thrown it at him.
143	* PutOnABus: Never reappears after Season 1 ends.
144	[[/folder]]
145
146	[[folder:Dark Seer]]
147	* AlienBlood: It's purple.
148	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Rubick ends up killing him [[PowerCopying with his own abilities]].
149	* TheVoiceless: Doesn't say anything.
150	[[/folder]]
151
152
153	[[folder:Lifestealer]]
154	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: His opinion on massacring innocent mud golems Nigel lured into a jungle camp.
155	--> "You did the right thing. You'll learn someday, they're Mud Golems. I hope one day you'll understand this needed to be done."
156	* OneSceneWonder: He only appeared in Episode 3 as part of Nigel's lesson on the jungling aspects of the game. The above quote is literally his only line in the whole series.
157	[[/folder]]
158
159	[[folder:Tusk]]
160	* BullyingADragon: Basically everyone in the Wolfsden Tavern got punched through the ceiling for daring to challenge Tusk.
161	* CurbstompBattle: Dishes one out to pretty much everyone in the episode, including Enigma at the end.
162	* OneSceneWonder: Like Lifestealer above, he disappeared after appearing once in Episode 4 to be interviewed by Nigel.
163	* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: It's so incomprehensible that he needs subtitles for most of what he says. Apparently it's supposed to be Swedish.
164	[[/folder]]
165
166	!Season 2
167
168	[[folder:Gyrocopter]]
169	* CompanionCube: His Manta Style illusions.
170	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He isn't all there in the head.
171	* HazyFeelTurn: In Season 2, he's an ally of Enigma and Rubick. In Season 4, he joins the Dire instead.
172	* LargeHam: '''"It's Call Down time!"'''
173	* NiceGuy: He's lacking in the sanity department, but he never raises a fuss when he doesn't get his way and is generally polite.
174	* PutOnABus: As per the usual, he's absent from Season 3.
175	** TheBusCameBack: Doesn't stop him from coming back for Season 4, [[spoiler: both the fake and the real one.]]
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder:Invoker]]
179	* AscendedExtra: Appeared in one of the earlier episodes using his Sunstrike as part of a 4-man global damage combo before joining the cast as a proper character in Season 2.
180	* HazyFeelTurn: In his first appearance he was an enemy that used Sunstrike to wipe out the Radiant team in a global combo. In his second appearance, he joins the game as their mid laner for the season.
181	* ItsAllAboutMe: Threatens to feed the enemy team if he doesn't get what he wants, and goes middle despite Bristleback going there first.
182	* {{Jerkass}}: Supposed to be a stereotypical raging MOBA player, and it shows.
183	* JerkassHasAPoint: Despite being a jerk, he is right that he has priority as a Mid Laner over a Bristleback and a Gyrocopter.
184	* LargeHam: Feels the need to shout to the world every orb combination he creates. His gank at top takes this even further.
185	* LaserGuidedKarma: Refuses to learn anything from [[spoiler: losing the game,]] and promptly gets hooked by Pudge as a result.
186	* LudicrousGibs: Happens to everyone he kills with Sunstrike.
187	* {{Manchild}}: Threatens to throw the game if he doesn't get what he wants, blames his team when something goes wrong, refuses to learn anything from the game, [[RageQuit abandons the match]] immediately after seeing Enigma...
188	* RageQuit: Appears in Season 4 only to immediately abandon after seeing Enigma again.
189	[[/folder]]
190
191	[[folder:Nature's Prophet]]
192	* AscendedExtra: Appeared in one of the earlier episodes using his Wrath of Nature as part of a 4-man global damage combo before joining the cast as a proper character in Season 2.
193	* CoolShades: Wore these in his first appearance as a homage to Cyborgmatt.
194	* HeroKiller: Kills Nigel in episode 27. Mitigated by the fact that he respawns later.
195	* GracefulLoser: See PetTheDog.
196	* {{Jerkass}}: Heavily implied to be a muted player, only quoting lines from the chat wheel. His gameplay reflects this, essentially being a massive troll to the Radiant team.
197	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Despite being a massive dick, he wins the game anyway.]]
198	* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: When Bristleback kills him with the Divine Rapier in the final episode of Season 2, he says "Well Played!" before succumbing to his wound.]]
199	* {{Troll}}
200	[[/folder]]
201
202	!Season 3
203
204	[[folder:Tidehunter]]
205	* AdaptationalHeroism: Tidehunter in the DOTA 2 canon is a hideous sea monster that ravaged Kunkka's fleet. In the DOTA 2 Reporter, he's one of the nicest characters to show up.
206	* BigGuy: Shares this role with Terrorblade. Terrorblade is the physical powerhouse of the team, while Tidehunter relies on personal durability and an overwhelmingly powerful ultimate.
207	* KindHeartedSimpleton: He isn't exactly one the brightest players to show up, but he is shown to be among the nicestshown in the series. It helps that Enigma seemed to undergo CharacterDevelopment and never berates him for his mistakes.
208	* NiceGuy: In contrast to what he's like in-canon, this Tidehunter only shows real anger when Axe kills Crystal Maiden.
209	* PutOnABus: [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted.]] True to the DOTA 2 Reporter tradition, he leaves when the match is over. But shows up the following season as a member of the enemy team... and wins the game instantly when the entire Radiant team abandons. Tidehunter is then absent from the next game that follows.
210	* SimpleYetAwesome: Despite largely being an idiot, Tidehunter is still quite useful to the Dire team, primarily because of his ultimate, Ravage. Given he's on a team with Enigma and Phoenix, this gives them the ability to consistently overwhelm the Radiant with their chain of area disables. The rest of his kit is likewise simple enough that even he can make use of them, most notably his point and click Gush.
211	* TooDumbToLive: He walks into the enemy fountain to get his Blink Dagger from his stash (even though the courier that just died was carrying it) and doesn't pay attention to the fountain laser zapping him to death.
212	* UnskilledButStrong: In skill Tidehunter is almost as bad as Pudge in the first season, but his ultimate is so powerful and easy to use that he manages to be useful anyway, as all he really needs to do is be somewhere near the fight and hit the button.
213	[[/folder]]
214
215	[[folder:Terrorblade]]
216	* AdaptationalHeroism: Similar case as Tidehunter, Terrorblade in Dota 2 canon is a CardCarryingVillain who even his fellow demons thought was too much to the point they sent him to Foulfell, or Double Hell as fans might call it. Here, he's friendly and don't look down on his teammates, even if he has a big ego.
217	* BigGuy: Shares this role with Tidehunter. He's the physical powerhouse of the team, while Tidehunter relies on personal durability and an overwhelmingly powerful ultimate.
218	* BoisterousBruiser: Egotistical, but not in a bad way, unlike Invoker or Timbersaw. He just likes to talk himself up, but doesn't really talk his team down.
219	* DarkIsNotEvil: He's literally named ''Terrorblade'', but he's a pretty cool guy.
220	* {{Foil}}:
221	** To Timbersaw. Both are greedy players who repeatedly obsess over farm, often taking it from their own team, and have quite the ego. But where Terrorblade is both a ItemCaddy that genuinely ''can'' scale extremely well with farm, and despite is egotism, doesn't insult his team as much as he simply preens to himself, Timbersaw is a relative CrutchCharacter, who doesn't scale nearly as well with his stolen farm, and is more than happy to blame anyone else for his own mistakes.
222	** Also to Juggernaut. While both are NiceGuy carries of their respective teams, Terrorblade is generally self-absorbed with his own farm and constantly goes without his team, while Juggernaut is a team player who often listens to Rubick for advice.
223	* LightningBruiser: Thanks to his constant farming, he evolves quickly into this by the end game.
224	* NiceGuy: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] He's quite friendly to his team and genuinely enjoys the game. He also has a huge ego, but he's in no way condescending or dismissive of others, he's just ''that'' confident in his abilities. He even seems to have befriended Enigma and Rubick, popping into one of their matches to casually chat with them while they're reading the patch notes, before exiting and telling them to enjoy their game.
225	* OneManArmy: Spends alot of the game farming, but once he starts participating in fights, the guy is an unstoppable juggernaut that wipes the floor with most of the Radiant team with ease. He even grabs the first Rampage of the series. The only person that ever kills him is Juggernaut, who is Radiant's own carry, who usually requires using his ''Omnislash'' to do so.
226	** GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Terrorblade is a pretty accurate portrayal of a carry that's allowed to farm with little disruption. He never once dies during his farming phase, with all attempts to kill him failing, and when the Radiant aren't trying to kill him, they're busy attacking other members of the Dire, giving him plenty of space to flash farm. The end result is a hard carry so massively farmed that only Radiant's own carry, Juggernaut, could ever hope to kill him.
227	* OutOfCharacterMoment: Despite being established as one of the more efficient players in terms of farming, he nonetheless appeared to be missing his last hits at one point and was caught off guard by the Radiant team's ambush. [[spoiler: This is because it was only an illusion, much to Timbersaw's chagrin. The real Terrorblade was out in the jungle, way too focused playing with his new items.]]
228	* SmallNameBigEgo: Ecstatic upon getting his first last hit, and boasts of winning the DOTA 2 Internationals after getting an Ultra Kill, but he's a likable case, as he doesn't look down upon others, unlike say, [[ItsAllAboutMe Invoker or Timbersaw.]]
229	[[/folder]]
230
231	[[folder:Phoenix]]
232	* DifficultButAwesome: [[spoiler:Nigel doesn't realize what he's in for until after he's taken control of Phoenix.]]
233	->'''[[spoiler:Nigel]]:''' Just have to skim my abilities real quick, I'm not totally familiar with them... [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Chapter One...]]
234	* TheLoad: He's a complete liability, dying repeatedly without accomplishing anything. [[spoiler:Nigel, who had never played the game before, did better than him.]]
235	* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:After Nigel takes control, he becomes a lot more useful.]]
236	* TheVoiceless: Doesn't talk, only letting out squawks and chirps. [[spoiler:This changes when Nigel takes over.]]
237	* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without giving away that [[spoiler:his original player [[RageQuit abandons the game]] and Nigel takes over playing him.]]
238	[[/folder]]
239
240	[[folder:Timbersaw]]
241	* CurbstompBattle: Terrorblade consistently kicks his ass, at one point simply picking him up out of his mech and tossing him away.
242	* {{Foil}}: To Terrorblade. Both are greedy players who repeatedly obsess over farm, often taking it from their own team, and have quite the ego. But where Terrorblade is both a ItemCaddy that genuinely ''can'' scale extremely well with farm, and despite is egotism, doesn't insult his team as much as he simply preens to himself, Timbersaw is a relative CrutchCharacter, who doesn't scale nearly as well with his stolen farm, and is more than happy to blame anyone else for his own mistakes.
243	* ItsAllAboutMe: More subdued than Invoker, but Timbersaw seems to view his mere presence as an asset. At one point he wanders into the jungle purely to leech experience off of the rest of the team.
244	-->'''Timbersaw:''' ''(Waits until the very last second to attack the tower) Good thing I'm here!
245	* {{Jerkass}}: He's pretty much Invoker 2.0. Extremely vain, leeches gold and experience off of the rest of his team, generally useless yet still blames his team for their failures, refuses to wait for a disconnected player, and when his team is about to lose, he pauses the game right before the ancient explodes just so that he can berate Kunkka some more, and after that, even buys back into the game just so he can feed the Dire couriers. And unlike Invoker, he doesn't even have anything nice to say when his team does something ''right''.
246	-->'''Kunkka:''' Did you guys see!? Did you? That ghost ship nailed them!
247	-->'''Timbersaw:''' Yeah, took you long enough to land one, shitlord.
248	* TheNapoleon: Small in stature, huge in ego.
249	* OhCrap: Gets an ''epic'' one when Enigma destroys the tree he's trying to use Timber Chain on, preventing his escape.
250	* SmugSnake: Quite the egotist, despite dying more than anyone on his team, and failing multiple times to kill Terrorblade.
251	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's still afraid of trees. At one point a tree sprouts in front of him and he uses his Bloodstone in a panic.
252	[[/folder]]
253
254	[[folder:Kunkka]]
255	* DifficultButAwesome: In direct contrast to Tidehunter, Kunkka's relative lack of experience is much more noticable, thanks to how hard his skills are to land.
256	* TheDogBitesBack: Eventually snaps due to Timbersaw's constant attacks on him, and starts retaliating.
257	* GlassCannon: Kunkka can kill a wave of [[EliteMooks Super Creeps]] in one hit, but dies very easily.
258	* LeeroyJenkins: In a desperate attempt to get megacreeps, he become this.
