Holy crap like five pages overnight.

Regarding s4's stream: we are aware and are trying to list him. His current stream on TL links to the wrong twitch stream (s4dota instead of s4) and it seems only admins can edit it. As for his resolution/bitrate being too high, that is a Twitch function and not our own. I would guess he has only recently started streaming again and Twitch have not gotten round to partnering him yet.

I remember reading somewhere (long long time ago) that in DOTA2 heroes will have both names and titles in the end, i wonder if it was true and someday it will happen. Would be nice see how Valve tries to bypass some copyrights. Instead of Pudge the Butcher we could have a Pudge the Fat Hooker, since he is fat and uses a hook.

Flocked by carrion birds who need him to cut their meals into beak-sized chunks, Pudge the Butcher hones his skills with blades that grow sharper the longer he uses them.

Pudge the Butcher falls under blizz copywrite? What? I thought this was a problem related only to Furion and the like.

Dunno, i thought he was the reference to Diablo's Butcher, same with Leoric referring to Diablo's Skeleton King

He is a reference to the butcher from Diablo more than likely, but so what? Blizzard doesn't have copyright on a title like "The butcher"
However they do more than likely have the copyrights for stuff like "Leoric the skeleton king" but not "The skeleton king".

DOTA2 literally means 'dota2' but not 'defense of the ancients 2'. iirc the law suit was about whether valve can use 'DOTA2' or not (in which valve has won/came to an agreement with bliz). 'DotA' (defense of the ancients) however is definitely not allowed to be used by anyone except bliz because of the original eula from war3 etc.

I argued this to death on playdota.com and dev.dota2.com, and sadly most people just shrug it off and accept the names that are given because that's what people used to call them in DOTA 1. My problem with that is that the majority of the heroes show their descriptive names (e.g. Phantom Assassin, Skeleton King), while the minority of heroes should their actual names (e.g. Pudge, Puck, Slark, Jakiro), which is just stupid because it makes the naming convention look inconsistent and stupid in my eyes.

You can argue that there are certain copyright issues of descriptive names that can't be used (e.g. Wisp, Faerie Dragon, Murloc Nightcrawler), but if that's the case is it so hard to implement alternative names that bypass this (e.g. Light Spirit, Pixie Dragon, Nightcrawler). Or as most people suggested, find a way to put both the actual and descriptive names in the HUDs. Yes obviously space is an issue and it would screw up most or almost all of the custom HUDs that have been made over the last few years, but a start would be adding a new section for the actual name right above where the current name of the hero is, or getting rid of the exp number in the exp bar and putting the descriptive name of the hero there instead
