My flames grow hotter
My ice grows colder
Our wings grow stronger
- Jakiro Voice Responses, Dota 2
The freezing flame, the scalding cold |
Jakiro is my most played hero. At my level of play in Dota 2, a support that can easily harass in lane, help your team take towers, zone in teamfights, clear waves and disable channeling spells or chain-stun works out pretty well. I'm therefore disappointed that this hero doesn't get a little more attention from Valve in terms of hero re-works and cosmetics.
What is going on here? Did Jakiro get stuck in an oil spill? |
Fortunately, I got my own opportunity to give Jakiro a bit of a makeover. My roommate 3D printed a tiny Jakiro for me for my birthday. I broke him free of his scaffolding, sanded him down, and painted him with acrylics.
"We are hatched anew." |
(Mouse for scale.) |
I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out. I never got into Warhammer or other miniature-based hobbies, but I can definitely see the appeal. I was a little sad this came together so fast!
And, as is tradition, a photoshopped image for fun.
Tahoe goes up in flames. Jakiro sees ice, Jakiro adds fire. |
