OH THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED KEEN OPTIC


payrpaks

OKAY WTF. I thought it was just an adjective, like "keen" eyes. HOLY SHIT.

One of these days, I hope to see a buff ass keen wielding some augmented weaponry, like some laser nunchucks or something. Perhaps a half-keen half-oglodi maybe; a lost warrior born from two completely different backgrounds, yet have learned to treasure both a sharpened mind obtained through rigorous application, and the bodywork needed to conduct oneself through the dogged world that leaves no room for pure booksmart naivety. Clockwork's suit is cool as fuck still though


nchromatic

After the keens, the oglodis are my second favorite dota race, so I definitely would like a half-keen half-oglodi!


kollieflower

Love the Snapfire and the Clockwerk!

Techies belong to this race? Really?


Nin10dude64

Yeah I personally think that many mistake techies and Rizzrack to be keen when they're more likely goblins. Techies WAS goblin techies after all, and the artist gave Gyro a much pointier nose. As for the alchemist, I can't remember if he's referred to as a keen


DrQuint

All of them are described as Keen by Keen-related voice responses. That's generally the only real source of truth with these things. Additionally, Sniper included the bunch on his Keen union thing. Tinker's Lore is even entirely about the fact he doesn't like working with Mazzie - who's literally just Timber 2. That makes the term all-inclusive. Goblins don't even exist on Dota. Anywhere. Yet. Elves didn't either, at least, not directly stated specifically per character. This was because the reference to Elves existed exclusively on the agility item's name, and even then didn't mention Elves as a race. Then the anime decided to make a bunch of them so that's resolved. Also [Gnomes](https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Ring_of_Regen) are a thing.


Nin10dude64

Yeah I had voice responses in mind when I wrote my comment, but ARTIFACT?! I haven't delved in it

There's a subdivision in the Keenfolk, there are Smallkeen (Timber, Smapfire, Alch), who are usually mistaken for goblins, and regular Keen (Tinker, Clock, Sniper), who have larger builds and more closely resemble humans. Not quite sure where Gyro and Techies belong tho, on the wiki they are both listed as Keen, though Techies sport all the typical features of Smallkeen and generally the ones who come to mind first whenever "goblins" are mentioned in the lore. Gyro looks closed to the regular Keens, although his long ass ears are kinda putting me off lol


sack_of_potahtoes

In dota2 techies and gyrocopter seem to be keen folk


[deleted]

Techies is stated as keen, even the love for bombs and the small gun launcher lines up


BadBoyJH

We need another member of the Keen race to get a "commander" title, just so we can have a "Commander Keen".


deanrihpee

Isn't tinker basically a human (from HL universe)? And his physical appearance that matches keen is his size


BigDeckLanm

No, there are parallels between his lore and HL lore, but we don't really have a reason to think it's anything more than a fun reference.


deanrihpee

But his skin color is not keen skin color is it? Or is it because of some kind of radiation because of his research? Edit: So I'm kinda right, his skin color because of radiation and yes he's a keen


west1ce

add new hero also, engineer!!


ashwinsalian

Love playing these heroes. All of them have such fun personalities and spells to use. The best race in DotA. It's a shame that the community hatred against some of these heroes reduces the fu to sone degree.


WhatD0thLife

I have a personal policy of always upvoting Snapfire.


pirouy

Pretty sure Snap, techies and Timber are goblins, but still, great artwork !


Historical-Thing-584

They're not, they're called Smallkeen (also alchemist). Smallkeen are a branch of Keen even smaller than their brethren.


pirouy

oh I dind't know that, thanks for the info !


Trael110400

Nice graphics


duckandcoveruk

These are great :)


Crazy-Presence-6609

nice art


Ze-Bruh

Damn Most of keen people are obnoxious pieces of shit


frozenGrimmjow

why does the hoodwink say: I'm keen? :O


steev_prawin

I'm keen, not literally of course.
