*TESTMAP NEEDED* (send me a msg if you wanna make one )
NEED FEEDBACK! T-up/ T-down at least so i know i'm moving towards the right direction!
Remember this is a true INT based tank, with low life and no disables when u review him.
Also DON'T READ SPOILERS if you are just a casual reader, its needless

We all know who Hades was, if not then you can learn here: Hades. Anyway this guy is in "town" and he means business!

INTRODUCTION



Hades, Lord of the Underworld (version 3.0))

Known as the demigod of the underworld, Hades manifests the epitome of hatred and suffering to destroy his everlasting enemies, the debilitated and self-proclaimed cretinous Sentinel. As his blackened silhouette haunts mortality, his devastating aphotic powers yield his foes' soul, as his deathly novas of corruption will crumble the stoutest of men. As the lord of the underworld prevails, he can create voids of agony to his target's soul and call upon his behemoths of pets to aid him in the never-ending battle of mortal and immortality. But in his pursuit against the Sentinel, he solely looks for the right moment, to decimate his now mortal brother, to collect his soul to never see the light of day.

Also this part of the skill: "Drains an initial 100 damage". Its reduced by targets magic resistance

Synergy

+
Death Nova and Underworld: This is the most obvious of all multi-layered synergies on this Hero. Death Nova deal more damage as Hades lose HP, on the other hand Underworld weakens all enemy Heroes but also causes Hades to lose HP, procing more damage from Death Nova passive.

+
Death Nova and Soul Reach: Soul Reach amplifies damage, for a duration, amplified damage cause Death Nova to deal more damage but at the same time the life stealing effect works as a semi-constant regen for the Hades while fighting. Also Death Nova when released acts as an emergency heal enabling hades to last longer in the battle.

+
Cerberus and Soul Reach: Cerberus relatively low damage growth, gets boosted by Soul Reach amplified damage, making Cerberus more of a considerable threat that needs to be eliminated, therefor tanking some more of the damage taking direct Hits, also damage caused by Cerberus on a soul reached target gives some extra survivability to Hades, as it also partially heals him while he is disabled.

+
Cerberus and Underworld: As i mentioned before Cerberus lower damage growth get extra benefitted by the weakened enemies. Also the stun/slow effect on fleeing enemies keeps semi-pinned an enemy Hero into the underworld AoE, damaging him further. Also Cerberus Eyes enable a soul to tag an enemy Hero where in other case it would be possible, for example if he turned invisible.

+
Underworld and Soul Reach: While the amplified damage wont work with Underworld directly, while the Underworld AoE damage and weakens all enemies and causes Hades to lose HP in a high rate. Soul Reach helps Hades to maintain his HP at a healthy lvls while in combat.

+ +
Cerberus and Underworld and Soul Reach: By now the synergy between all this 3 skills should be obvious but i will explain further.
Cerberus pin points a target into Underworld range, Underworld weakens and damage target while Soul Reach amplify the damage of the Cerberus and Hades and healing Hades at the same time from Underworld damage and the damage of the enemy till all 3 skills kill him.

+ +
Death Nova and Underworld and Soul Reach: Soul Reach amplifies the damage from Death Nova passive and active, while Underworld weakens the enemies and cause Hades to lose more HP fast so Death nova proc even more damage. While at it Soul Reach maintain the Hades Hp enough so he wont die from disables or nukes. Also Soul reach in coordination with Death nova gives a mild "hp regen" during combat, even if Hades is disabled and "burst heal" to Hades while he is fighting and for when he is "out" of disables, acts as emergency heal/nuke.

+ +
Death Nova and Cerberus and Soul Reach: Cerberus pins a target in range of Hades, so Death Nova's passive and active can damage him, while at the same time Soul Reach amplifies the damage of Death nova and Cerberus.

+ +
Death Nova and Cerberus and Underworld: Cerberus "forces" a target to stay in range of Death nova and Underworld. Meanwhile Underworld weakens and damage the enemy Heroes so Hades can live longer and damage them. Underworld cause Hades to lose fast Hp when he needs to, so his Death nova proc more damage, while Cerberus Master Guardian skill helps hades to actually stay alive from sudden burst-nuke damage.

+ + +
Death Nova and Cerberus and Underworld and Soul Reach: And now for the whole package
Cerberus keep a Hero in range of Death Nova and Underworld. While underworld active it damage all enemies Heroes, but also procs more damage if less enemy Heroes are its in AoE. Therefor causes enemy team to make a choice. Either all stay and fight, or come the rescue of their team member as is almost surely dead by Hades+Cerberus+rest of Hades team, as Cerberus will blink and stun/slow the target every time he moves i certain range, but also will give vision to Hades of this hero even if he turns invisible with his Cerberus eyes skill. If they do come to fight the damage their teamster receives is less but its spread among them. Underworld after have weaken the enemy team allow Cerberus to live longer and still keep in range the primary target. Being tho in range, Hades Death Nova massively deals damage to all of them as Hades HP also started to going down by Underworld and enemy Hits. Cerberus partially protect Hades low Hp from massive damage nukes, with His Master Guardian skill.
Finally Hades ulti, Soul Reach, gives a constant regen rate to Hades in co-operation with Cerberus and Death Nova damage, even if he is disabled, while allowing Hades Cerberus, Death nova skills and teammates to deal more damage to the primary target with the amplified damage. Also the amplified damage causes more damage from Hades skills therefor enhancing their healing effect to Hades.

Servant of Evil use his strange affiliation of life and death to corrupt a targets soul, draining his life force and making him susceptible to his own Death
Effect: increases dmg taken by the target from all source (physical and magical) by 15%/20%/25%. In addition, any physical or magical dmg caused by the Servant of Evil(only, skill or by items) to the enemy will heal the Servant of Evil by 40%/60%/80% of the dmg he did. Effect duration 3/4/5seconds
Cooldown 25/20/15seconds
Mana Cost: 90/135/180

This hero instead of stats gets a 5th skill:

5th Skill
DARK ARTS EXPERTISE

This skill go up to lvl10,
Each lvl reduce cooldown by 1 second of Vampiric Nova, Demon Haunt and Touch of Death, while increasing by 0.1% and 30range each lvl the effects of Pressence of Evil

Aghanims Scepter upgrade for ulti(optional):

Adds +15% dmg increase to the dmg increase effect , +10% life drain from dmg done to the target and lowers the mana cost of the spell by 30mana.

I think to totally remove the Aghanims stuff as i'm not sure if its needed or not. I also consider making Demon Haunt the Ulti and Touch of Death the 2nd skill, therefore making Aghanims to reduce cooldown of Demon Haunt by 10seconds. Let me know ur opinions on this matters too

[doomsheep]

you should give some info what role u want him to fill..

[HELLRAISER]

Well, Intelligence based tank, but to be able to have some alternative roles if that possition is filled at the team,

[doomsheep]

baneeee

[HELLRAISER]

Did u even read my post? thats ur comment? that bane is a tank? what if told u he is a pusher? or hero killer? you would list all pushers and hero killers here? Anyway If bane is a tank then, this is a second one with much different unique skills and play style.

[doomsheep]

meh, i just dont like him. the skills have weak synergy, wont work for gameplay (like the demon thing...) and his role is very similiar to bane.

im sorry, i just dont think there is any potential here.

[HELLRAISER]

You serious? His skills have weak synergy? funny.

His skills have perfect synergy every single one of them, SPECIALLY demon, heck 2 out of the 3 other skills was made around the demon! I'm surprised you didnt spot that, maybe u need to me to explain how all skills synergy perfectly to each other?

His role is similar as many others, be a tank. Bane is a disabler tank, very different role than the one i suggest here.

[NoThlnG]

At least use the template for easier reading....

Use Dark Kenshi's template I suggest...

[HELLRAISER]

will do it at some point later, what u think about the hero?

[NoThlnG]

Hmm.. Ok I briefly read your hero...

First, I don't like any changing stats suggestion. Invoker is exception I think because it works completely different with others.

1st Skill : Nice skill but reduce the number to about 270. 300 damage for easy to hit skill is too much.

2nd SKill : Is this a simple summoning skill? If is it so, this is very imba. Infernal is still weaker than this

3rd Skill : This is basically Heartstopper Aura with hp draining. T-Down. Find better skill

Ulti : Original but it works quite similar to first skill. I think you should consider changing it.


Again, don't change stats to other skill. I won't give T-Up for it.

[crazy sheep]

First, a simple review.

Attributes: You want an Int tank, but you've got yourself something else. Your Agi gain is higher than your Str gain, so that's the major disadvantage in trying to tank. But maybe your skills will explain your stats growth, so I won't pass judgment so fast.

Sight Range: 1800 / 1800

I suppose you've made a typo there, normal sight range is 1800/800.

Vampiric Nova: What you mean is 400 AoE. AoE is described by the radius, not diameter. And I have no clue what you're trying to say here. What damage dealt? Null until full explanation is given.

Demon Haunt: Too many abilities on one Demon, you could just make the Demon a separate hero. T-down.

Presence of Evil: Too much like Heartstopper Aura, and this heals you? Imba. Number tweaking please. Null for now.

Touch of Death: Do you know someone called Broodmother? So do you realise that you've made an even more imba version of her, especially with the autocast? T-down instantly.

Dark Arts Expertise: Phantom Edge. NO. T-down.

Overall: Broken skills.

Verdict: Remake.

[Drikam]

Verdict: Death sentence, you LIED to me. :C

His main attribute is Intelligence and his Str is really low. Also he don't have the +20 to all stats skill to compliment his low stats gain. While he can compliment his low HP in other ways, he dont have any way to increase his agi therefore he have some higher agi gain but not really that much, if u still think his agi is too much i was dwelling between 1.6 and 1.8 agi gain, maybe i can change that.

Its 400aoe around the caster.

I can merge 2nd and 3rd skill, but i don't think there is a thing as too many abilities if their numbers are balanced.... The demon is what make this guy a tank by indirectly giving to the Servant some extra HP pool with Master's guardian, so the demons needs to have some hp and survivability to last 3-4seconds into a gank. Remember demon is not controlled it can target only 1 hero but all enemy heroes, creeps even towers can target him not to mention after demon gets its target, if not get killed before, it will instantly dispel causing Servant to lose effectiveness as tank.

Hmm the numbers 0.4/0.6/0.8/1 reminded you the Heartstopper Aura, but this skill is different and is there for 2reasons.
1st You have close to none HP regen, while u do get some HP bonus from the demon you still have no HP regen and a heart wont help you that much as u are Int based with expensive skills.
2nd This can potentially be the reason why u get targeted as the tank, since its faction is similar to radiance, but with a catch as u will not do ANY DAMAGE if you dont get targeted at the first place

Broodmother have life drain too, just that. Broodmother its Agility based, therefor broodmother's dps is by default MUCH higher. Overall ulti is really different from Broodmother and u didnt bother to read it all the way. I can lower its drain, but have in mind that his dps is not that great at the first place and Servant have no escape mechanism at all.

This, i didnt understand. It have nothing to do with Phantom Edge, but will enable Servant to be a good tank late game too.

[HELLRAISER]

I had this at 250 initially. Have in mind tho this have really low AoE and a good cooldown till really late game and Servant moves quite slow, if u still think this needs a nerf let me know and i will fix skill numbers to its manacost

Originally Posted by NoThlnG

Well its summoned next to the targeted hero therefore a summon, but it can only target the hero it was casted on while he can be targeted by all heroes, creeps and towers. The thing with the demon is that he can be used to chase a low hp running hero but mainly to compliment his master's low HP pool. The demon can die or dispel if get the target making Servant lose some tanking capacity. You think i should lower his dps?

Originally Posted by NoThlnG

Well they are both an aura if thats what u mean and they have similar gain growth. In fact they are much different as this is life drain that its activated ONLY if the Servant is not at full HP.

Originally Posted by NoThlnG

Gives extra survivability to the tank(again very low hp and agi therefore dps from the stats) and makes him be wanted to a gank for the team damage boost.

I respect ur opinion on this, but we all know that intelligence heroes lose all their effectiveness late game cause of their power stop growing at lvl16 since they got all their skills already. This is not really acceptable for a tank, therefore i stand at my position on this. If you think Dark Arts Expertise is too powerfull skill even for late game skill, i can tweak the numbers

[triangle]

It's not that. He just doesn't like the fact that your suggestion has no stats. Invoker fails, so I agree with him.

Only decent skill there is the first one because the others are either unoriginal or gamebreaking.

EDIT: Don't ignore our criticism. If more then two people say something is broken, it's probably because it is.

Are you sure its allowed to have a 5th skill? I know its possible to code, but the maximum amount of REAL SKILLS are only at a max 4, not 5. There will always have to be Attribute Bonuses.

I see ur point, i was thinking of the Invoker but he still have 4 skills indeed, if thats the case, i will make him invoker style by tweaking the numbers, 7lvls for 1st, 2nd, 3rd skill and 4 lvls for ulti.

If anyone knows if what i suggest is impossible for Dota let me know to get on fixing it

How is my skills unoriginal? where you saw my skills before? If you think my hero sucks then i guess he wont be created for Dota, i play Dota 7-8hours a day :P thats what i like do, not really in designing Heroes. This hero idea was just an idea that i came up out of my experience in playing this game. If you guys don't like, it's ok, i will go back playing Dota and give up suggesting, still think is cool with original skills, that synergy only to the complex mind :P

EDIT: If you say is broken, in what way? Tell me what needs fixing. Except from totally removing or changing skills ofc I can make 0.0001% for Presence of Evil or make 1%/2%/3% life drain for ulti if thats makes it balanced :P

[Zirath]

Actually, you can have 5 skills. Attribute Bonus is chosen by our engine, not built in.

However, your hero has some major problems.

The high mana of his normal skills prevents him from having any effect until he has Bloodstone with exception of his passive. In order for him to get kills, he needs Bloodstone. But to get Bloodstone he will need kills because he doesn't have high farming potential.

He has 3 skills that drain health and the demon does not have synergy with his tanking potential by just chasing around a hero. This hero seems to really be constructed from other heroes (Necrolyte mostly). He really needs a major rethink in his skills. There's some potential here but the all skills need to be partially remade.

You need to stop being so defensive about your hero and assume things need "fixing". Numbers are the last step for a hero and the concept is first. We aren't perfect here and we can't help you if you aren't will to drop some of your skills. Just because you believe your idea is good, doesn't mean that it is. Most of us are willing to help you but you immediately showed that you are unwilling to cooperate with any of us so your suggestion might be beyond. I'm willing to give suggestions but not if you fight with me about it.

What I meant is that your numbers don't match the role. Overall, if the hero can tank, it's because either they have the HP to tank [natural tanks, eg Centaur] or they have the skills to draw attention to themselves [forced tanks, eg Necro]. Your hero here doesn't seem to fall into either category when I first read through, hence the comment. In this case here, after reading through his skillset, I see that he's a forced tank.

It's not a matter of merging the skills. In fact I would encourage you to separate the skills out to avoid overcrowding.

HP regen is mainly from Str, which you tend to have. Otherwise get a Hood or Vanguard. And as you put it, if they don't focus you, you don't get targeted, and thus you've just failed at your tank role. Good synergy there. [/sarcasm]

"Heal for damage dealt" has the same meaning and effect as lifesteal. You have an autocastable orb which is more imba than Brood's lifesteal, and her nukes don't heal her.

It has the same uses as Phantom Edge - also known as forced synergy.
