Oh, by the way, since most people here already posted in the contest, anyone interested in discussing about the posted idea?

P.S: Old Kainen's icon for Star Rain is the same as my Constellation <3


Dammit, your idea is so good compared to mine :C

Sorry kkoopman, but this entry hasn't ended yet (we haven't even voted yet, and thus no winner yet) so it isn't time for the next one. Furthermore, it is stated in the rule that the winner get to decide the next theme

Ah, okay. This makes sense.

I noticed it too, Yzreel! Hahahaha
I think we all are getting the icons from the same place.

I'm quite happy with the results of my hero, but I don't know if he is 100% balanced. That's hard to achieve. Most part of the heroes there are balanced too.

As Bunkansee once said to me, heroes with the same theme are bound to have some overlapping features.

Aww, don't say that, yours is better than mine in your own way as well. I mean, there's no way Varkoth can tank (or in that matter dishing more damage) in a teamfight compared to your Miantor. Granted, Varkoth is much better in global presence and has much cooler picture :p

Yeah, I guess I need to really do my own icon starting next submission (too lazy though lol)

Yeah, somehow it does, but since the skills do very different effect I think it's fine? Anyway, the only thing that is rather odd for me is how the name is the same (stargaze and a star's gaze) dat coincidence tho. Anyway, mine posted earlier, so I'm not the copycat XD (jkjk)

Question:
(First, please mind my ignorance)

1. Who votes the winner?

2. Will there be a 2nd, 3rd, and runner-up winner? And is there something given to them?

3. Do colors, pictures, etc... increase winning chance?

3. When i click add picture button, it says 'insert url' what should i do?

4. How do i resize fonts?
Statement:

1. Ira's 'A Star's Gaze' does not copied Varkoth. In fact, i just realized.

2. This is a great community, with harmonic people and polite language. I hope this keeps up!

3. My MMR is probably the lowest in the bunch (1.6k)

Okay, so to answer the competition questions:

1: Everyone votes for the idea they like best, you can't vote for your own idea however.

2: I don't think anything is given to 3rd 2nd etc.

3: The nicer your idea looks the better, but I don't think pictures matter that much.

4: On the picture you want to add, right click and press "copy/save image url" and then paste the url into the box where it requests it.

4: There is a blue "A" at the top on the hotbar, click on that and it comes up with some options for sizes. Play around with it!



And your mmr is not the lowest, I never play ranked so I don't have and visible mmr yet.


Hope this helped!

Since Bunkan has answered most of the questions, I will address to only these points that I quoted.

3) The colors and stuffs doesn't increase winning chance, strictly speaking (you can see Wulfstan's grading criteria in the entry post). However, since the ones who voted are us (normal human with biased thinking), I'd say that those can draw people to be more interested in voting for that particular idea.

4) Other than using headers (that big A stuff on top), you can also use this trick: (size=#)Text(/size) and (size=3)Three(/size) will be Three, (size=4)Four(/size) will be Four, (size=5)Five(/size) will be Five and it goes on. Bear in mind that these brackets ( need to be changed into [ as script

1) Yeah, we all know that it is coincidental, was just kidding when I wrote it.

1) Wulfstan will post a voting thread for it (or update the entry post so it is votable), supposedly today. Ask him for more info.
