El Virtuoso

Champion of the Sundered Moon

While many honed their fighting ability in bar fights and alleyway scuffles, Stelios (or as you and the general population undoubtedly know him, El Virtuoso) focused on a more refined style of fighting. Preferring the roar of the crowd as he pulverized his opponent over the shouts of an angry bartender, El Virtuoso traveled the world impressing many with his muscular physique and high flying moves. When the owner of the Sundered Moon learned of the crowds El Virtuoso was bringing in to his matches he knew he had to have him as his nightly entertainment. While El Virtuoso had plenty of fierce challengers during his long tenure at the Sundered Moon, none could come close to stripping him of his title. As time went on, El Virtuoso couldn't shake the stagnation of endless victory. Each bout got easier and easier for him and he could sense his once adoring fans getting anxious for a real challenge. El Virtuoso has taken his title on the road in search of the perfect opponents. While he has no direct stake in the war of the ancients, he does have a stake in winning his fans adoration; he'll do anything to keep that once he achieves it.

While not his most popular move among his fans, El Virtuoso's clothesline is one of his most devastating maneuvers.

E
Squared Circle
El Virtuoso construct a square wrestling ring around himself to challenge his foes. Both friendly and enemy heroes / units may enter or leave the ring, but are slowed when crossing the ropes. Forced movement (such as force staff, skewer, or clothesline) will push you into the ropes, but not through.

While El Virtuoso is more than capable of fighting outside a ring, he much prefers the comfort of the squared circle.

El Virtuoso's Role in Dota 2

As a Strength hero with a moderate health pool, slow movement speed, and high damage potential, El Virtuoso is best suited as a core hero. He can initiate a fight with his clothesline and squared circle combo, or can escape a fight just as quickly with a clothesline out. With his Adulation ability El Virtuoso is able to dish out big damage with just his fists. His ultimate ability Moonsault both dazzles and brings upon the destruction of an enemy team unfortunate enough to be caught in the splash range.

I envision El Virtuoso to be a hero that's capable of flashy and unique plays while not being too difficult to master. Without any real luchador / wrestler hero in any MOBA that I've seen, El Virtuoso offers a unique hero concept with tons of potential for cool customization (cosmetic) options.
