Default [Remake]Medusa


Replace Split Shot: Farming skill. Stats always better than Split shot.

Quote:

Charm
Gives Medusa 17% chance to charm her target and steal target Max mana pool on each attack.

Level 1: Steal 10 Mana pool.
Level 2: Steal 20 Mana pool.
Level 3: Steal 30 Mana pool.
Level 4: Steal 50 Mana pool.
Passive.

Charm:
- Target will move towards Medusa (just like Berserker's Call) but unable to attack. Last 1 second.
- Help Medusa in chasing (unit can't run when facing you right? Unless Moonwalk) and synergy with Stone Gaze.
- Medusa steal target max mana pool for 15 seconds. Stackable.
If you about to post " force synergy " please save your time.
Think further, "Blade Dance + Omnislash" , "Burrowstrike + Epicenter" and many more...


Quote:

Stone Gaze
A dummy will channels Stone Gaze for 5 seconds.
Any enemy units staring at the Gorgon will slowly turn to stone, removing status buffs and slowing all speed properties. Deals more damage to summoned units per level.

Level 1: Slow attacks by a factor 2.
Level 2: Slow attacks by a factor 3.
Level 3: Slow attacks by a factor 5.

- When Medusa cast Stone Gaze, "Stone in sight line" will last for 5 seconds. Any enemy unit having sight line with Medusa within this 5 seconds will be stone.
- It's channel by a dummy, Medusa able to attack or do anything after cast.
Change in red.

Idiot.
Instead of last 0.5 sec after cast, why last 5 sec will become worse?

actually u dont need a dummy to channel, its just a timer.

i dont like the charm thing but t-up for ulti.

theres no logic in charming someone on attack. make it an active ability.

I don't like any of SplitShot remakes, since current 4 arrows is fine, you just need some teamplay. Attacking 4 heores with 75% of your damage is 300% damage spilled, which is really good for 0 manacost spell.

Stone gaze is fine, it just needs bigger angle, or faster casting.

longer time on stone gaze is great.
so anyone who turns around in thoose 5 seconds will receive dispel buff (if he looks at medusa 3 seconds after casting ulti he will receive only 2 second dispel).

split shot is useless but fine.

Can you explain how the ultimate works a little more?

Also,I don't think it's the mp problems that you should rework for split shot (she already gains a lot mp just with mystical) but rather the pathetic damage it bursts..Also why did you forget the mp shield?That spell is as well replacable with status because you can't level mystical and shield (mystical too costy)...unless you mean shot+mystical or shot+shield,that might work..but only 50 mp removal?How about a bonus damage like burn or something?

4 arrows is not fine, 75%x4 = 300% is a joke. I rather a Medusa player focus on 1 target with 100% damage to guarantee a kill, not I deal 300% on 4 targets.

Stone Gaze is not fine, it doesn't need bigger angle but should last longer (channel by a dummy).

New Stone Gaze = Any units having sight line with Medusa after cast will be stone, last 5 seconds.
"Stone when sight line" last 5 seconds, not just the time on cast.
Mystical Snake gains mana, not mana pool.
50 MP is huge, it stack. When it proc 4 times, you have 200 extra MP and target lost 200 MP.
Imagine a Str hero with 400 MP, you steals 200 MP, he left 200 MP.

Just let Stone Gaze insta-kill Summoned Units and Illusions, then it will be fine, IMO.

T-up only for the Ultimate, it will be like a pew-pew laser you can move around with.

I like the buff to the ultimate, although I think it's fine right now tbh. It makes her unchaseable and is very good during the opening of team clashes.

Charm doesn't fit your remake suggestion.

A farmed medusa can easily strike a teamkill due to being unkillable and killing multiple enemies simultaneously.

No remake needed at all for her, some Agility gain increase is totally what she needs.
