In the history of DotA Allstars, the pool of heroes has been constantly expanding. However, not all characters from the old versions reached the end – they remade part of IceFrog, completely removed the others from the game and replaced them with new ones. However, many of them could be tried out after deletion – the characters were available in the fan tavern.

IceFrog himself added this feature in several 6.1x versions – fan taverns and a special -fun mode allowed you to play as the old Invoker, Techies and Silencer. Since patch 6.16, the developer has abandoned this idea, but fans used the trick in versions of the map with bots. In this post, we have selected eight of the most powerful characters from the fan tavern.
Terran Marine
Terran Marine is one of the most powerful of the imbalanced secret tavern heroes. He had a Stim Pack similar to StarCraft’s marines ability — it took 40% of its health in exchange for attack and movement speed. The second added up to 30 damage and a microbase for 0.3 seconds for each shot – the enemy simply could not reach Terran Marine with a sufficient attack speed. Given that the hero was a dodger, and from a passive skill every 80 shots for any purpose was added per unit of dexterity, he became just a killing machine to the leitgame. All this was backed up by an ultimate, which reduced the attack and run speed, but increased the firing range by 2,500.
Look
Void Demon
Imagine a Night Stalker whose passive ability works at any time of the day. It’s also an aura that makes all allies nearby, including creeps, as fast. Void Demon was the forerunner of the older parts of Balanar and is also remembered by fans as one of the most imbalanced in history. In addition to the passive skill described above, he had a modern Void, only it lasted 5 seconds, another aura that slowed down the speed of attack and movement, and in his case a rather useless interrupted spell like Upheaval in modern Warlock.
Look
Old pudge
Fan taverns also featured the old Pudge – in the original DotA Allstars it was the prototype of the modern butcher and was called Monstrosity. The hero himself was not very strong, but on the other hand, he called from the corpses many units that pulled lines and demolished buildings at the speed of light. The flies from the ultimate were the strongest – their passive ability with 88% dodges distracted the towers, and their active skill allowed them to multiply at an incredible speed. If the old Pudge was not in battle, then every ten seconds he stored up one corpse – they could be thrown away at any time.
Look
Old Silencer
Modern Silencer did not always have the same skills as it does now – before version 6.15 it was completely different. The first and third abilities in the current version of the game belong to Mirana and Warlock. Starstorm was almost no different, but Rain of Chaos from Silencer summoned three golems instead of one from modern Chaotic Offering. The second ability in the chain healed all nearby allies, and the ultimate was a passive skill that silenced for 4 seconds per hit.
