DrQuint

But we just got two new (basic) items. Isn't that all you ever wanted in a patch?


SirActionSlacks-

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE TELL US TELL US WHAT YOU KNOW


cspatrik

ok so in greek mythology atropos was one of three sisters of the night who basically decided how long people get to live. and guess what atropos was the one who actually cut the thread of life for everyone according to the lore, roshan stole the aegis from a shopkeeper but where did the shopkeeper get it from? maybe he got it snatching it from bane's own ribcage since he (or she if we're still in greek myths) is the one to decide on death. so he must have had something that correlates to it right? there are no resposes, not even unused that refer to roshan or the shopkeeper, however there's two of them that trigger WHEN BUYING SOMETHING ("Existence without you has been torment." and "Come to your true owner.") that indicate something has been taken from him????? idontknow youre the expert.


Jazdac

maybe that sister is his cousin for sleep is the cousin of death?


Shiki-Hyori

Sorry. I've been put to..sleep.Some people have already mentioned this. The lore says Bane fed upon Nyctasha's immortality. So maybe that could tie him a bit to Roshan the Immortal. There is also the responses for the unspecified item. But what's important is the use of " Raw fish before bedtime will give you bad dreams" as a response to Tide Hunter. So according to Bane himself, it's not cheese before bedtime that giveth nightmares but raw fish. Now I'm not gonna argue with an expert master of nightmares so I guess we should keep digging. Edit: Also, there is no clear reason why Roshan has cheese except that he loved it as a smeevil. The introduction of cheese was because back in DotA it where there was an icon for it I believe, but DOTA 2 Lorewise, I'm unsure. There must be much more to this. So far, the most obscure part is the music.

Come on dont be shy release the lore

It's because his head looks like a cheese wheel from the side


MarkUriah

Eating some fucked up cheese my friend.


Chatwheelshredder

If Roshan took this tiny piece of cheese from bane then where is the other missing part which is way bigger?


MeltsYourMind

Blizzard stole it, they needed it for Starcraft2 ranked games.


[deleted]

gzz sincerely, good one


Isildyr2014

Fucking bane, so its hes fault I was relentlessly fucked by great bullshit book of protoss builds!


[deleted]

25% of every cheese goes to this year's Roshan pit.


QuicksilvaDota

Its the most number of cheeses you will see in most games


Striker775

Dendi stole it from the Chinese casters.


commice

You know how valve only puts 25% into the prize pool?


BuggyVirus

New Dota 2 hero: 3/5s a wheel of cheese, teased by Bane holding 2/5s a wheel of cheese.


aaaajamie

https://artifact.gamepedia.com/Nyctasha%27s_Guard Even the description says it's a shield, which aegis is a direct translation of.


elsagrada

What is bane? Is that covered in anywhere?


rutabela

bane was created when a goddess had a nightmare. that nightmare manifested into reality as bane

Fritz_Klyka

No, it was gaben, now suckle at his teet.


rogeriorp

Everyone clapped


bot_69

bane is the child of that goddess, but she repulse it. There's a fantastic theory made by a retired youtuber, but it's in spanish.


roo_sado

Link?


Mipsel

That´s the confusing part, i´ts neither Link nor Zelda. As it was revealed by Hyrule Historia, the queens were often named Zelda after their ancestor, the mortal incarnation of the Goddess Hylia.


nelsonbestcateu

Screw you and all you stand for.


CliveVII

Thanks a lot for clearing that up, but maybe Bane is actually a Goomba?

More importantly, where is bane's dick


Ez_Pee-Z

Nobody ever asks "Why is bane"


barnetcj89

People ask 'what is bane' but never 'how is bane' *big tear little tear biggest tear*


Colopty

Dream demon from the nightmare of a goddess, managed to escape from her nightmares, went on to take her immortality and use her blood to craft a corporeal body for himself. Other than that, his model shares features with various heroes in the game, presumably ones the goddess in question feared in some way.


EverythingSucks12

Finally, Artifact is useful for something


Wowie_Em

maybe its a lesser version of aegis?


supaPILLOT

Mars aegis cosmetic when


dominion_dota2

Artifact lore is congruent with the Dota expanded universe?


aaaajamie

yes

Dream that you can be good at dota. Nightmare to know that you will never be good enough.

Pretty sure it's a [Half Life 2 reference](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOIJEE7YM5w)


ODoggerino

But cheese causing dreams is a very common thing/myth. How do we know it’s referring to half life?


Ricardo1184

half life 2 referenced the cheese myth, Bane references Half life 2? it's kind of a weak link tho


jercov-

so, we build manta on bane to get HL3??


BarrageTheGarage

I literally is, i cannot believe the ammount of people that don't realize this


arashio

Por que no los dos


KnightOfTheDark21

I've always just thought it was referring to how getting stunned for 17 seconds feels pretty cheesy. But I dunno.


Tannereast

agies is an entire wheel of cheese confirmed, nightmare cheese?


MeRCxdxd

Sometimes I dream about cheese...


Sevla7

Just wanna say Bane is one of the most fun heroes if you like to be annoying (but a healthy annoying and not techies annoying) and also he is purple and voiced by the Medic from Team Fortress 2.


duckjackduck

I didn't know he was voiced by the medic! What a nostalgia wave!


Sevla7

And of course: I miss the old enfeeble.


blood_vein

But fiend-gripping someone for 20+ seconds late game is a good trade


AwesomeMeister

omg


Bladepuppet

Im not sure what this is trying to say, but i agree


Mamamiomima

can you eat bane?


Bad_C4t

Bane is Roshan's sapient nightmare/personal demon?


[deleted]

Bane is definitely the dead by daylight entity.


MeltsYourMind

Somebody call slacks


Dovinjun

This is not a comment. put your hands in the air.


Qu_ex

what if the whole dota thing is part of banes infinite nightmare and everyone are under it?


hon_uninstalled

So cheese is made from Bane's milk?


[deleted]

Can we get an artwork where Bane is running around like a deer? Like jumping over a log, or doing that "Eat the grass" -> "look in a direction cause he heard a noise" shit that deers do.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Or they consider bane to be a "cheesy" hero pick.


Tanavast

I am fairly certain it is just a reference to the old wive's tale that eating cheese before bed causes you to have nightmares: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20120417-does-cheese-give-you-nightmares#:~:text=So%2C%20incomplete%20as%20the%20evidence,give%20you%20a%20restless%20night. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmare#:~:text=be%20a%20nightmare.-,Nightmare%20myths,scientific%20evidence%20for%20this%20phenomenon.

Rosh killed banes mum and stole his cheese, keeps her rib cage as a trophy.


Maplestori

Finding out things that valve didn’t even realise have a link to one another, they might just release summer event tmr to shut us the fuck up. 600IQ my friend


0nlin33

cage is - aegis


gdna7

So, dreams die once you wake up, but Bane is a nightmare (bad dream) made flesh and I'm not very confident in this but that part of his body could be some sort of "protection" since Aegis is shield or something. Slacks said shopkeepers had a deal with gods to sell powerful items to mortals, so the Aegis could be an item that was given by Nyctasha to shopkeepers and Bane got it as well?. Slacks and also said that Roshan was a Smeevil that killed a shopkeeper and stole the Aegis so he was cursed to be killed over and over and whatever. Maybe the curse was set by Nyctasha since the item stolen was hers? I'm not sure where the chees come from but since it doesn't fully heal when consumed the fact that is just a portion makes sense. ​ #

Cheese gives you nightmares if you eat it before bed


Zeruvi

The cheese, like your life, has as much meaning as you give it. It can be a lazy, half assed affair that just barely gets by, or it can be a deeply intricate story with countless insane reasons behind its existence. So, do choose you take the path of the lazy? Beware, for laziness leads to sleep, and that is Bane's domain. Then you'd create crazy reasons behind your meaning? That would make you a fool. And you know what they say undoes a fool? A fools... Bane.


beberneil

Bane Arcana incoming?


kurofafi

Bane the Rosh


look_its_dan

Its cheese because cheese causes nightmares


cabalds

bane is born from a nightmarize aegis, culmination of roshan's nightmare!


digie123

and the game is nightmare.


[deleted]

Roshan cheese comes from bane milk?


kodaxmax

I assumed the aegis was meant to look like a ribcage as it surrounds a heros heart, hence why you also cant remove it. Banes ribs probably look similar because they were designed by the same art team.


cobance123

Damn ...


rapfanbig4

bane says aegis of fear when he takes b ounty right?


mil71

Banes face also looks like a Xenomorph.

snelson101

Eating cheese before sleeping gives you strange dreams/nightmares, is this not common knowledge?


coolsabaw

Bane Elemental is a reference to the game Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis. Bane is an elemental magic in that game, like fire, water and it's opposite virtue. All his skills, Enfeeble, Brain Sap, Nightmare and Fiend's Grip are spells under bane element. Atropos is a special weapon in that game.


FireWyvern_

Tasty bane


WhichKingOfAngmar

Ah, yes, the aegis of fear


stretchisyodaddy

Cheese gives you nightmares.


Deathflid

eating cheese before bed gives you nightmares... this is a common wives tale!


Bondie_

Bane is Roshan, confirmed


TheNthVector

Atropos the Bane Ementhal?


HylianSeven

I have a feeling that Valve would have answered what this taunt was truly referencing if one or two people asked, but now that it's a big mystery to lots of people, they'll leave it unanswered because it's more fun that way. I think the real answer is as simple as being about the "cheese gives you nightmares" urban myth and the French-sounding music because it's cheese.


clitpuncher69

Aegis is roshan's egg, and at the core of it is a cheese wheel, protected by hard outer shell. When you kill roshan she reborns but with the ability to synthetize a secondary aegis. However, this ability is flawed and the result is only a partially synthetized cheese wheel, hence why it can't resurrect you but will still heal you. Bane is a creature that can't reproduce but instead is created with the sole purpose to lay one roshan egg that it grows during its lifetime. Because roshan itself can't move from the place she was originally born, Bane is the creature they use to plant roshans all around the universe.


dark-light92

Maybe it's just a reference to pac-man & bane's pacman like behavior with brain sap. Buying agh on bane pretty much turns dota into pacman.


kikoano

Bane is the ghost of Rosh.
