DOTA IDEAS A DOTA 2 INTERACTIVE FORUM

I got the idea to make this hero due to the fact that there is no hero that has special abilities that use gold. The play style of this hero is that you either save your gold to do more damage and get status resistance, or you spend it for items. His Q helps a lot for this. He can be played as a support to give their carries a gold boost. And my goal with this hero was to make it so it can slow down fast farming heroes because there is a point in the game where you cant really stop their carry from getting more and more gold, so why not add a hero that counters that. Also I was sick of Alch players just getting a free butt-load of gold. Anyways, I couldn't find any good pictures for this hero. The current one will have to due so I can upload this. He looks like a king in armor with a sword that replaces his missing hand.

Kind Midas was a greedy king that loved gold. More so then anything else. He would spend his days in his castle counting his gold. It seemed he couldn't get enough. It seemed, gold was the only thing he cared about other then his Daughter. One day, the god Dionyssus took attention to this man. Dionyssus, feeling that this greedy king needed to be taught a lesson, cursed him so that whatever he touches, turns to gold. The king, at first, loved and enjoyed his new found ability. Touching everthing in his castle and laughing with joy. But, it started to become a problem for him. He wasn't able to eat food he picked up due to it turning to gold. He had to get servants to feed food to him. His bathwater turning to gold after touching it. His clothing became unwearable. And finally, when his daughter came to embrace him, he begged her to stop and stay away from him. She ignored, and she was turned into a gold statue. The king became heartbroken. He begged and pleaded to reverse what has been done. The God Dionyssus showed himself to the king. He admitted he did it to him. And he explained that the king needed to learn a lesson. The king, filled with rage at the God, cursed at him and tried to attack him. Dionyssus, calling the king a fool, said he was going to reverse it, but after his actions, he decided that the king would have to learn to live with this curse. Dionyssus then cuts off Midas' right hand to keep as a reminder to people that greed, is a dangerous temptation.

Years later, Midas has channeled his rage, trained for combat, and destroyed and pillaged any city that worshiped Dionyssus. His curse gave him newfound abilities to use at his disposal. He yearns that one day, he will kill the god that cursed him.
