Greatest hero making tut on this forum by my thoughts.
You should add making good tooltips if you didnt.
Would improve it by 5%.

I agree with Ur-Quan, besides the skills, models, balancing, etc., many judge on good tooltips. Some don't give enough/accurate information. Others give a whole history lesson on who/what/when/where/why they made the skill.

There's a tutorial around (which i can't find) about making good tooltips.

Ok, added another section to the "Polishing" section.

BTW, I saw someone voted "Dude, this sucks." in the poll. Can you please explain why?

Very, very nice tutorial. I am impressed. As usual, some thoughts from me :p :

The Hero's Main Attributes.
- for simplicity and fairness sakes, I always keep this at 6.0, unless I am making bosses.
- Usual I ceiling the main starting stats to 25 (or strongest starting stat always < 26), for fairness sakes at start.

The Hero's Names.
- I tried that once, it worked fairly well and for some time I am satisfied. However, if you got tired from all those related names, try taking ordinary names (for example, David), and add/remove characters from it (Dvid -> Devid -> Devit -> Devic -> Devinis). This works well too, since I know there are some people in the world that likes non-element specific names. But either way make good names.

Try placing your fingers on the "S" "E" "R" "G" keys.
- S is "stop" in Blizzard. I use Z,X,C,V (No looking required!), D and F for the occasional auxillary abilities (the two empty middle spots)

Thanks. I wasn't able to get on WC lately, so I couldn't check.

I'll change the hotkeys.

UPDATE:
Changed a bit of the formatting, on IKilledKEnny's request, not as much italics.

I would, except I've pretty much covered most of the aspects of making a hero.

However, if you have an idea, PM me, and I'll be sure to credit you if I use it.

Go to Advanced > Gameplay Constants, it should be under Hero Max Level.
