Exactly the same problem can be found in any sets.
For example, why the Beastmaster in one set uses iron armor, and the other uses leather and cloth? Why the Phantom Assasian uses hood in "Penumbral Vesture"? Usually, she uses metal armor.

Just because it looks cool. Why do u ask yourself the question - is it right on her?

I agree with juken, this looks "wrong". Like, too feminine or some sorts. She is aggressive, and that hood make her looks like CM or DR.

I can understand where you guys come from, all the armored people need to look like they're walking Tin cans of death, and all the hoods should stick to wand wielders, but then again, if you want a helmet, just take a helmet from another set, shove it on your LC, and stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it, because frankly, if you dont like it, then just put something else on. Dumbasses.

PA is an ASSASSIN, of course things like hoods fit her; it's even one of the main staples of the popular assassin's creed series, and she's one of the people who wear cloaks and capes, so a hood would actually logically function with her clothes. Beastmaster is just a random warrior who can talk to animals, so he can wear pretty much anything from cloth hoods to ihand-crafted armor. With that being said though, the day he gets something like a helmet that LC or Sven has on would look stupid, wouldn't it?

If everybody thought like you, this game would have more cosmetics like tha stupid alpine ursa set that got removed for being too unfitting, and then this game would have devolved into TF2-tier stupity. Valve only cares about the quality of cosmetics/how much they fit a character because the community still cares about stuff like immersion and lore/logic.

+1 I like this guys point, i thought the sexualization with the hair was not Legion's style and the hood for that matter

does it even matter? i dont think people even care about d2 lore, there no campaign whatsoever. i want the hoodie simply because it looks good and none of the current LC heads are actually ok. this much criticism on a game that doesnt even have a logical integration of magical concepts is ridiculous. dota is what dota is, a battle arena game without a proper lore.

did you seriously just use hair as an example of sexualizing a woman, that is covered by metal and thick cloth everywhere EXEPT her face? lol, if anything, this makes her more definable as a woman, but not much else.

Alt style no hood :p

juken,

since when on god's earth would a knight not have worn a hood? or a cloak for that matter? - just double checking on google now, there are literally countless pictures of 'classical' knights (not batman), in full armour, wearing hoods and cloaks. and after browsing 'what knights wore' websites - low and behold; knights wore hoods - why wouldn't they wear them? would a knight have less need to shield their head from the cold and rain than anyone else? juken, '0 sense' is just catagorically wrong.

also, is dota2 a fantasy game? - the witchdoctor runs around half-naked, the phantom assassin has a helmet with no eye-sockets, as is anti-mage sometimes blind, faceless void manipulates time, luna rides a giant cat, lina flies, players respawn after dying, and recieve gold from 'last-hitting' waves of creeps. and a hood on a knight isn't realistic or logical?

maybe her faith protects her head from harm, maybe she's arrogant and doesn't want a helmet, maybe she is infact cold, or the player is using the rain effect weather globe. who cares? people have worn hoods throughout history. knights have worn hoods throughout history. hoods are about as realistic and 'logical' as you can get on a knight (or any other character) in a game like this (or any other game, novel, film, work of art etc). characters have hoods for the same reason they have shoes, or gloves; hoods were, in fact, very common. on everybody.

in summary, juken, whether you actually like the hood is a matter of taste, it's completely fair enough if you don't like it. but to call it an 'epic to a dumb concept' is just plain incorrect. hoods are fine; they're lore-friendly, immersive, realistic, logical, and historically and 'fantastically' fitting - they are pretty much the opposite of everything you've written above.

p.s. feel free (juken) to private message me for links to evidence if you don't believe me, or just spend literally less than three minutes online and look it up for yourself.
