“My love for you is like a truck BERSERKER!
Do you want to make some–“
Oh. Hey there. Didn’t see you for a second. I’m too busy celebrating the release of the newest Heroes of Newerth hero, Berzerker, a melee strength hero that was unleashed with patch 2.5.9, as well as a new free hero pool, a new alt avatar, as well as some hidden files that are, presumably, more alt avatars.
Here’s Berzerker’s preview video:

– Fixed Rhapsody’s Alt Avatar model
– Fixed Portal Key so it can properly blink into Engineer’s Electric Field again

– Fixed Dark Lady’s Alt Avatar animations
– Fixed Gemini’s Movespeed tooltip not updating sometimes
– Fixed up Pharaoh’s Alt Avatar sounds and animations
– Fixed Arachna’s Spiderling so it follows invulnerable units properly

– Fixed Tremble’s Terrorform so it properly is showing charges
– Fixed Shudder’s Terrorform tooltip to be more accurate
– Fixed Shudder’s Terrorform so its mana cost scales the same as Tremble’s __________________
