They probably have plenty of their own hero concepts in the pipeline or more holdovers from Neon Prime. They've added multiple fan made items so they definitely read the forum. It's a taller ask to incorporate an entire fan hero concept but they might take inspiration from what they read. If you've got ideas for what you'd like to see in the game, may as well post it.
I've already posted 3 "ready to go" heroes. And this forum has lots of interesting stuff but heroes from Hero Labs got none of that or mby i missed something.....

This game isn't even technically early access, and Hero Labs is an even less developed portion of the game. It's going to be exploring really rough foundations for characters, not necessarily showcasing what they will be. I would trust the devs to look at community feedback in all forums but I would keep in mind also that Hero Labs is an extremely conceptual phase of character creation and it's totally fair for them to explore their own visions as a priority.
Early access or not early access it doesnt realy matter, because people are hungry for NEW HEROES, people are hungry for RANKED PICK MODE, people are hungry for NORMAL SPECTATOR MODE because you cant understand a damn thing in teamfights when you watch tournaments when buildings block your vision, i hope someday they add dota2 view when you can watch through buildings.....

it does matter... theyre still working out the game and balancing the heroes they already have. adding more heroes into the game just exponentially increases the work they have. you have new heroes to play in labs
you don't get to make demands like this as a playtester as, once again, the game isnt even in early access.
i have no idea why people feel so entitled to having a ranked mode and new heroes added each patch, even dota doesnt get that sorta love
i think people are right to wonder if a fan made hero will one day be added. there is a forum for it and community items are being added as often as developer made items. i think a fan hero will be added, but it will take a while as they need to first finish the hero labs heroes.
imo they should do a contest to decide. that way the community will feel happy with it for the most part and this is how puck (who is now pocket) was added to dota all the way back in 2004.

Based on your attitude I'm guessing you're a bit on the younger side. This may surprise you, but game development takes a lot of time. The dev team isn't just making new heroes, they're also updating the game's overall visuals, fixing bugs, managing performance, netcode, matchmaking, etc. While everyone, Valve included, would be happy to have a bunch of new heroes ready to go, it's not something they can do quickly unlike items which are mainly just stat changes and the active effect. If they want to implement a single character's ability, they not only have to create the visuals and sounds, but they also have to program it, ensure it works correctly with all of the other pieces of the game, troubleshoot bugs and issues, balance it, make sure it "feels" right, etc. Multiply that by four for every hero and things can be delayed quite a bit.
There's also just the fact that there's a ton of content here for them to sift through, and they likely have many of their own ideas that they've been developing for longer than the forums have been around. Heck we already know there's lot of data for other heroes already in the game that haven't made it to Hero Labs. Even if they did choose -your- idea to put into the game, you probably would not see it for a very long time.

umm no u just copy and paste the hero concept, ability descriptions and stats from the forum post into the hero making machine and it spits out the completed character, model and all....
Bro why do we talk about how hard to create game character, is this post about it? i know its hard and time consuming and e.t.c because i made 3 ready to go heroes by myself with 3d models and posted here BUT THIS POST NOT ABOUT IT.
I WAS JUST SURFING THIS FORUM and didn find anything that lab heroes have(mby i missed something) and thats why i start wondering do they chech it or not. Do we waste our time here or not????

What I'm about to say is going to sound harsh
the chance of a fan-created character coming out during the next one should be around 00.01%
think of us in a queue:
deadlock is constantly updating things and tweaking others, well that's the meaning of alpha/early access
“so there won't be any heroes created by the community ????”
if there's this forum page then there's a chance
not to mention that there are items created because of the forum and art created by artist committees in the community
I hope that one day Yoshi will provide some information or run a contest to get some hero ideas into the game.
who knows what might come out of the forum maybe some of your ideas or mine or anyone else's could be deadlocked.

- - there are the heroes already released, those in the labs
- - those that exist in the game's “playable” files
- - the ones that exist only in the files (examples: like shield guy who had a possible ultimate leaked) and possibly other ideas that are on paper whose existence we don't even know about and after ALL THAT comes the Heroes of the community

They definitely read through the forums, but they probably haven't read through much lately, seeing as it is the holiday season. I also believe these to be more inspirational than anything. A tremendous amount of work goes into even just one character. I doubt they'd just lift a character's full kit off any of the forum posts. More likely, single abilities or similar abilities will make it to the game. These are idea posts, not submissions for approval to go live in the game, lol.

Nope
Thats just another guessing..... And thinking about mirage i doubt that they did tremendous amount of work there.....
