Happy Fun-Time Bomb

"It seems as if it is... smiling."


Ancient of Wonders
Cost: 450
Charges: 3
Cooldown: 10
Cast range: 750

(Active): Sends a walking bomb moving at 522 ms at target. Deals 150 physical damage on impact. First enemy unit to come in contact with bomb will cause it to explode.

Cannot target buildings.

Idea just kind of came to me. I personally don't think it is actually "necessary" to DotA but I think it would help a lot with early game lane control. It could easily be countered by a Healing Salve or some Tangos, but it could help with last hitting.

Another cool idea (yet lacking in long-term advantage) is having a lane partner grab a set of these too and nuking a target hero severely at the start of the game.

Does the walking bomb walk straight to the target? What if it hits another enemy unit along the way?

I don't know if I want it to be like a "set it and let it walk towards target but blow up on first contact" or make it "phases through everything/walks past everything until reaches target" yet.

Kind of would like the rest of the community decide on which they think is better.

"set it and let it walk towards target but blow up on first contact"; homing bombs seem imbalanced!

Added the effect of "will explode upon first contact with enemy unit."

Somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year.

T-down because you get a 450-damage nuke for 450g.

Is the price your only issue with this?

It's got a cooldown and is consumable, it's far from a 450-damage nuke.

Though to be fair, I really don't see the use for this item. Way way way to expensive to be used early game when the nuke would be worthwhile, and way to low damage for it to be cost effective late game.
