Some people may not know this, but you could check out both Shiv and Viscous before they got released, as well as many other work-in-progress (maybe) heroes by typing the following in the console
selecthero hero_(insert hero name here)
You can find a list of all available heroes by typing:
dump_hero_names
Now, to talk about the previous iterations of Shiv and Viscous (I'm only gonna mention the important/bigger changes in their kit)

Shiv: Shiv's 3 previously was literally Tryndamere's passive from League of Legends, as well as Trynd's E, which heals for the amount of stacks you had. Instead of the rage being unlocked when you got your ult, it was instead in his 3, so you got it much earlier. As for his ult, it was very similar Kayn's, also from LOL. Differences were that you could cast it on allies, and if waited a bit (I think it was like 2-3 seconds) the person you were ulted on would start glowing, and cancelling the spell at that point would cause you to jump out while dealing dmg in an aoe around the target you were on. Im personally glad they changed these 2, after playing him in a bot match they didnt really feel that good to use (The heal on 3 would reset your gauge, and had a like 1.5 seconds cast time where you couldnt move or do anything, and the ult just felt odd since you couldnt do anything either while in it)

Viscous: Much more scimilar to their release kit, except for the fact that their 1 originally bounced 2 additional times by default, and their ult was NOT nearly as cool as it is now, it instead just made them turn into a puddle that dealt dmg and ONLY dmg, while making them invulnerable (I think), which is also quite similar to an ability from another LOL champ, Vladimir.





Oh and if you've already checked all of them out before, guess what? Theres a new one thats very far into development. They were added this update, even tho their name was in the hero dump for a while, nothing would happen if you typed the command in the console. Now tho, you getCalico.png
Calico, IE Lady with a cat, you can go try her out by typing this in the console (in offline matches of course)
Selecthero hero_nano
 
Hello, thank you for sharing this information. I experimented at the shooting range, but could not call out this new character correctly.

Hey, so I just checked again, and it worked just fine for me. Make sure you're pasting this in the console " Selecthero hero_nano "
 
How do I start offline game? It doesn't work for me. Edit: I meant the command doesn't work for me.

What I normally do is, I go into either a bot game or sandbox mode as any hero, wait for it to load in, press whatever key brings up the console (you can check the settings for that) and type Selecthero hero_nano to play as the cat lady

"Selecthero" is not valid in my console. Not a command. "hero_nano" is also not in the list of dumped heroes. Sad...
 
Oh and I forgot to mention, Viscous's NEW Alt fire that was added with the 08-29-2024 Update was actually also in an earlier version of their kit, I forgot to mention it in the original post

*EXCEPT* In the earlier version, the alt fire was chargeable, increasing the aoe and dmg the longer you charged it (up to a point), it also.....looked better? Sounds weird but I think the new alt-fire's green color is off, the splat on the ground too looks worst than it did, but its probably just a place holder look anyways
