[REMAKE] Phantom Assassin - Coup de Grace

[magic101]

Mortred, the Phantom Assassin. A name that sends chills down the spines of the Sentinel. With her legendary precision, she can effortlessly cut through the armor of her foes, turning each into a bloody mess. A devestating Coup de Grace to end your life, leaving you to rot as the Phantom Assassin disappears into the shadows.

Or that's what it's supposed to be. In reality, it's more like this:
Mortred, the Phantom Assassin. A name that incites chuckles from the hard carry community, knowing that Mortred cannot outcarry them. With her clumsy generic critical, a Mortred player is often left behind, praying to deal some reasonable damage with a crit or two. An unreliable Coup de Grace that lets you kill her, leaving you laughing as she curses her rotten luck.

So, what's the problem here?

Coup de Grace is supposed to be a steriod skill, and it would be great if it was a normal skill - a 45% overall damage increase makes your enemies go "WTF" when you end their life with a final blow. Unfortunately, it's an ultimate, and the benefits are subpar for the level of an ultimate skill.

It also doesn't fit its name - a secondary concern, but a concern nonetheless.

A final blow, one that signifies the end of the battle and the utter destruction of your enemies. . . that's what a Coup de Grace is. And that's what this skill needs to become.

Without further ado, let me present a new and refined Coup de Grace. . .

---

Coupe de Grace - (Passive)

Type: Passive Targeting: N/A Hotkey: C

The Phantom Assassin's deadly precision allow her to swiftly dispatch wounded enemies.

	Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area of Effect	Duration	Allowed Targets	Effects
	1	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Enemy units	Chance to 2x critical
	2	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Enemy units	Chance to 3x critical
	3	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Enemy units	Chance to 4x critical

Notes

• Starts off with 5% to crit, and doubles for each 20% missing HP of target unit.

means you're reallly shit when the fight initiates.... concept is meh-decent. numbers is shit.

[UltraSonic50]

scale the hp threshold (20/15/10%) or the base critical chance (6/8/10%) and i'll t-up

[Sasho1233]

At 60% HP you have 20% chance to crit? And at 40% you have 40%?

That doesn't resolve the issue that the hero needs to get them to that point.

[Dark_AngeaL]

I posted the sugestion to make it have a % chance to crit based on % of missing hp, i even nerfed the crit numbers, people just think its op for some reason when CK's ult gives a 300% increase in damage-and he can do everything mort can do better(ignoring blur).

[UltraSonic50]

That's just because of his illusions that also deal that damage. But nonetheless, Coup de Grace really needs that buff.

[Lanther]

I agree with the rework because I feel when I crit my enemy on the end when it needed only 2 hits to kill.

[Dark_AngeaL]

If it was every 25% of hp missing...i think that would be almost perfectly ballanced.
100 5
75 10
50 20
25 40
Right? Above half health its a tad weaker than the current, below it is slightly stronger-Once you get them to that last 25% youll have a massive 40% crit!

[magic101]

How about these tweaks?

Changes:

• Notes: Starts with 5% chance to crit, and doubles for each 25% health missing.
• Mortred gains 20/40/60% lifesteal when Coup de Grace procs.

I can understand where you're coming from, but the attack speed boost from the remade Phantom Strike is supposed to lessen the luck factor of her Ult. And it's too similar to Viper's Nethertoxin, in my opinion.

Why not make it synergize with her other skills? Say, guaranteeing that the 4th attack from Phantom Strike will be a critical. Or, make her next attack a crit if she dodges an attack with Blur?

[Dzin-Zakk]

NONONO Built-in lifesteal. She isn't a damn saussie vampire you twilight ner...

I'd better go with a 25% scaling as 80% seems an OP to me. And the fact that she's usually worse than other carries is that they have a disable/controle element like manaburn orb or stun\bash while she only slows a single target for a while.

[Rangwan]

IMO, it should be start at 10% then get increased by 5%/10%/20%/40% at every 20% loss mark will give her more potential upon initating.

ps. facepalmed on idea making built-in lifesteal.

[Urknal]

no. Mortred cant kill with first 5 seconds coz u can ran away. When u have low hp the Luck or good teamplay can decide ur destiny. If Mortred had ur spell she wont do any kill herself and will kill every huskar and ursa. Mortred becomes free food for terrorblade. Thats interesting to see when terror gonna make ulti and mortred makes a crit and kills.

add this:
if mortred attacks a unit who not staying on land (leap, rubick's telekinesis,...)
she get a chance, that equal to percentage mana ov fling unit, to make a bash.
If unit have bashed mortred gains 50 + (level ov Coup de Grace)x20% lifesteal for next third successful attack.
Bash bonus damage:
1lvl: 50
2lvl: 100
3lvl: 150
Bash duration:
1lvl: 0.9
2lvl: 1.1
3lvl: 1.3

Note:
If Mortred could bash but misses attack she get bonus 5% ov 'roshan's current hp' bonus hp for 'roshan's attack damage' seconds.

No to lifesteal, this is an assassin not a vampire, without the life steal the numbers look perfect.

Thanks, I'll wait for a couple more posts for other feedback, then I'll edit the OP.

[Psy777]

Its suposed to be a finishing blow right?
make it 100% chance under 25%
give me your opinion guys

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

0% chance above 25%
100% chance below 25%

[Psy777]

or maybe something like starts at 0.35% and its multiplied by 4 each 20% missing
so:
100 - 0.35
80 - 1.4
60 - 5.6
40 - 22.4
20 - 89.6

That way the finishing blow will have a realy low chance of proking on high hp and a 90% chance to proc. the only problem is that I dont like this numbers. Idk I think the 100% chance only below 25% hp is better, im trowing sugestions at you guys.

[SuperCookie]

Fuck numbers, i like it. T-UP.

[Facebook]

Actually, that's why Icefrog made (or pre creators) blink strike to give 100% AS upon blinking. Coup was given a critical look-alike to synergize it with other skills.

Anyway the concept is nice but it is stolen from nethertoxin.
