Tal y como ya se venía anunciando desde la semana pasada, N’aix the Lifestealer, por fin ha sido implementado a Dota 2.

Uno de los héroes más representativos en la historia de DotA y que ha estado presente en el juego desde sus inicios hace ya más de 6 años por fin ha sido llevado a  su juego sucesor, Dota 2, y por supuesto ya no tiene la forma de un creep Scourge, VALVe ha sabido darle un toque más «zombie» quizá inspirándose un poco en su popular juego Left 4 Dead.

Personalmente me siento algo decepcionado con este último parche, todo indicaba que agregarían más de 3 héroes pero al final solo se decidieron por N’aix. Bueno, razones deben haber y espero que VALVe nos sorprenda para la semana que viene. 🙂
