Two things have stuck out to me in the show that don't make sense. Why would Helena get Severed? And why didn't Helena have a better lie ready when she pretended to be Helly?
Sure, the daughter of Kier getting severed is a great PR & Marketing story, but they could just have lied about it and not actually done it. They could have Severed her and just had Helly stand in a closet for 8 hours a day not actually doing anything. They're clearly bad people who have no problems with being evil for self gain, why have the risk of Helly existing and working with other innies at all?
For the second question, when she told the group what she saw during the OTP it was a bad lie that was easily sniffed

Contest Contest
I want to keep this subreddit fresh and interesting, so this "contest" is half contest and half poll. My goal is to try to have one larger contest every 3 or 4 months with simplet contests inbetween. These bigger contests include ones we've done in the past like Heroes Wanted, Omexe Arena, Artisan, Celeb Judge, Artisan. One personal issue I have currently is that im currently unemployed and that really restricts my time and money. So I'm unable to hire artists for the Artisan contest, and haven't had time to organize a guest judge. So, let's come up with some new contests!
Submit any ideas you have for contests in the comments below, one idea per comment. Th

Crossover Contest Winner!
Winner is u/SatouTheDeusMusco's Skarbrand, the Exile!
u/SatouTheDeusMusco takes the Rapier flair!
This was a tough contest to judge, with multiple entries coming up with great translations of characters to Dota heroes. This concept stood out to me not just because each individual ability was a great adaptation of the character, but also because all of the heroes abilities worked together in a way to give the hero gameplay that fit Dota and his character. Skarbrand's abilities each have a differnt timing to use in a fight and making the best use of them results in a sort of narrative of him relishing in the figh

Kez Prediction Contest Winner
Winner is u/RoadToHerald!
A note on the judging: With Kez's 8 abilities, I decided to combine the pairs of abilities into one group of components. To better reflect this I changed the way some of the points were distributed; these changes are highlighted in yellow boxes. Additionally I was more generous with defining components and decided to give 15 points for having a component that was kinda close to something Kez had. These are highlighted in blue boxes. I made sure to line up which abilities are compar

Item Build Contest Winner!
Winner is u/BannedIn10Seconds's Tyras, the Seascourge!
u/BannedIn10Seconds takes the Rapier flair!
This concept did a great job of creating abilities that immediately make you think about how you would play the hero with the given items. Interesting abilities that work together well in a number of ways. Great job!

New Hero Prediction Contest
Create your prediction for Kez's info, stats, and abilities! This time around there's a lot less to go off of from the release trailer, but at least it means Valve can't rework what they've already shown. Once Kez is released the contest results will be calculated and the winner announced!

Ringmaster Prediction Contest Winner
Well after almost a year Ringmaster turned out to be less of a showman and more of a carny; bait and switching us into thinking he'd be a lot more like Puppet Master. However, the submitted predictions still partially hit the mark. There can only be one winner though, and this winner is...

Kazurai Contest Winner!
Winner is u/Amonkira42's Gwaxwgwakwalanuksiwe, Raven of the North!
u/Amonkira42 takes the Rapier flair!
This hero's lore did a great job of taking existing lore and building upon it! Connecting the dots between the kazurai and Juggernaut's sister was very clever. I'm not fully sold on the Innate attack mechanic, or on the aura matching facet, (that could possibly be helped with fixing some of the wording and better explanations) but each ability brings something interesting to the kit as a whole. The ult stands out as a very interesting concept that
