IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Icons and hero portrait taken from Dota 2 Giant is a really tanky range hero who excels at dealing high damage to multiple heroes at a slow attack rate. He scales very well with armor since he also gain bonus damage for every point of armor. He can also disable enemies whilst also pushing them away.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

Like many of his peers, Giant was born a rock golem only to be slain by heroes for their gold. His monotonous life always consists of waking up, eating, fighting heroes, dying, and then respawning. Life was just really gray for him until he was invited to a small pub to gamble. Of course, as a rock golem, he has no concept of gambling or gold, but he was taught by a kind wizard with a handsome mustache how horse betting works. He became instantly addicted to gambling. Watching his empire of chips rises only for it to fall, is one of the highest pleasure for Giant to attain. Now Giant has something to look forward to at the end of his day. The day then came for him to bet against his former teacher. The bet was about if the team of 4 heroes can defeat a primal force of ancient evil. Turns out the heroes persevered and the teacher lost the bet. Before he left in a hurry, he gave Giant a magical relic. This relic transformed Giant. He began to see the world clearer. He was also able to beat many heroes consistently after acquiring the relic. So he set of into a new adventure to acquire more gold to gamble.
