PotM > Mirana, specifically.

Depends on where you played/play

It's pretty common to call her mirana here, and i know that in some places in SEA they call/called sven RK(Rogue knight)
And as said earlier, trax/akasha are common in CIS for drow/qop

Mirana is also her dota 2 name though? I thought we were talking about heroes in dota 2 that are often called different names, which are from from dota 1, but not the same name shared through dota 1 and 2. (although some dota 1 names are mentioned in the dota 2 lore for some heroes)

Nevermore is the one I always have to think twice about. I don't think I call any of the heroes by their silly dota 1 names.

I like the name Furion, so I call NP by the name Furion.

The names thing is just based on whether the heroes have easy-to-remember and easy-to-type names that sound good, otherwise people just tend to initialize

Furion for NP is hilarious on a whole different level because a) the name is not associated with the hero any longer and b) it's actually part of a completely different IP

it's basically the community declaring that furion stormrage is in DOTA2 despite the contrary opinions of valve and blizzard entertainment

I mean there's no reason he couldn't get into DOTA2 he learns teleport after all

SF is still named nevermore in dota2 though, so it's not a 'silly dota 1 name'

He even references himself as nevermore multiple times in dota2.

and more that i probably missed

SF says "Nevermore better!" when he levels up sometimes. Unless they changed his voice at some point.

it was originally furion
then it became tequoia
then they got rid of the name altogether

furion dirge and rhasta are the most common ones that i hear
