Unreleased Hero status
These are heroes that are currently in a moderately advanced state of development by Valve and should be released "soon". Note: The heroes are ranked in order of state of development present in Dota 2 beta files, not in order of release.

Ranking is: finished, polished, beta, alpha. Most other heroes have only extremely crude icons and avatars. Particles status is highly subjective.
