Well, my favorite hero is easily invoker, all though getting the winrate back from like 10% from me playing him when i first started dota is kinda hard...I mean imagine a brand new player using invoker....not a pretty sight.

Favorite support is SK he is just so fun to play and I never lose :D although I seem to be in the habit of going like 10-0 and then I just stop being supportive and walk around with a radiance and a divine rapier for no real reason

I definitely couldn't tell your favorite by your signature, that's for sure.

Trust me, whatever score you got with invoker, I did worse with luna. On my first ever match I got 2 kills to 20 deaths >.<

It's hard to choose between Terrorblade, Spectre and Invoker. Invoker's playstyle I just adore, especially when I can go full ADHD mode with a Blink Dagger in a teamfight. Spectre is another hero with a unique playstyle, in that you WANT to take damage, and the maphacks are amazingly fun. Terrorblade's just evil. Nothing feels better than turning a 3v1 gank into a triple kill. Also I'd fathom to say he has an even cooler voice than OD.

As for supports, well, generally I don't play them (safelane carry or feed, cyka), but when I do I play a pretty good Enigma.
There are two kinds of people in the world; those who can count, and those who can't.

My favourite hero is of course Jakiro, because he requires some skill to land his spells effectively and he is generally harder to play than many supports. He is also one of the rarest picked heroes, so I am almost always able to play him whenever I want.

He has cool voice (similar to Faceless Void), he is funny and he is a dragon. Dragons are cool, right?

What I also like about him is his name. I am not complaining about it like many LoL fans, that in Dota hero names are basically descriptions of what they can or what they are. I mean: Crystal Maiden, Brewmaster, Anti-Mage, Bloodseeker, Treant Protector, Undying, Enchantress, Bounty Hunter... I prefer hero names that refer to nothing, just like Jakiro, Slark, Mirana or Kunkka - Ok, he is named after an artist, but it's a some sort of name, not a "function".

All heroes have real names, actually, except for Nyx Assassin and Morphling.

Wasn't Nyx Assassin called Anub'Arak? Morphling has always been without a name though.
Best picture ever.

I totally agree with that, but the heroes I listed has something in opposite. Their "First" name is original - Jakiro, but the second, "description" name is - Twin Head Dragon. Same goes for Admiral Kunkka and Princess of the Moon - Mirana.

I am perfectly aware that heroes have their names, but they are not the main ones.

About Morphling. I think this is a good idea not to give him a name, because he is able to be anyone he wants to. He is a liquid... thing.
