Shadowdancer
Lady Eillove

Background Story:

The corruption of the Night Elves has greatly benefited the campaigns of the Burning Legion. Other than greatly reducing enemy numbers, the Scourge has also gained the mystique and cunning of the elves. Most of the corrupted have been placed in the Realm of Shadows, a place most fitting for their agility and stealth, but only a few have been worthy to be among the Shadow Lord's elite - the Shadow Dancers. Lady Eillove, once a noble among the elves, now uses her abilities against those who would block the way of the Legion. Travelers best watch their backs - someone might be close at hand.

Unnoticeable - (Target - Enemy Unit)

__________ __________	Eillove is a master of stalking enemies. She incorporates her mysterious shadow powers to pluck an unsuspecting target. Blinks right next to the target enemy unit, becoming invisible and leaving behind in her former position her shadow in the form of an illusion. Can reach farther if she casts from the shadows.
	I'm stalkin' your mom.

__	____.	________.	_______.	___.	_______.	__________________________.
	Mana	Cooldown	C. Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	50	30	500 (*600)	N/A	5	The illusion deals full damage but receives 200% damage and is uncontrollable. Applies Stalking to self for 5 secs (Eillove automatically follows the target).
2	60	25	500 (*600)	N/A	6	The illusion deals full damage but receives 200% damage and is uncontrollable. Applies Stalking to self for 6 secs (Eillove automatically follows the target).
3	70	20	500 (*600)	N/A	7	The illusion deals full damage but receives 200% damage and is uncontrollable. Applies Stalking to self for 7 secs (Eillove automatically follows the target).
4	80	15	500 (*600)	N/A	8	The illusion deals full damage but receives 200% damage and is uncontrollable. Applies Stalking to self for 8 secs (Eillove automatically follows the target).

Notes:

• Works exactly like Blink Strike but rather than damaging the target, she becomes invisible when she reaches it.
• (*) denotes the range when Eillove casts it while she's near a tree.
• She leaves behind an illusion to misdirect the enemy (similar to Azwraith's invisibility).
• The Stalking status is applied only to Eillove. No status is applied to the target so as not to give away Eillove's presence.
• While in Stalking, she automatically follows the target (just follows it. she does not attack it).
• If Eillove normal attacks, or casts a spell other than Unpredictable/Unforgivable, or moves away from the target while in Stalking, she suffers a 50% MS reduction penalty for 2 secs (her invisibility, illusion, and Stalking status is also removed).
• However, if Eillove does not cast either Unpredictable/Unforbivable for the duration of Stalking, she also suffers the MS penalty (in essence, she only has 2 options: Either cast one of the subskills or face the penalty).
• Once Stalking is removed, the illusion is also removed.
• Only 1 unit may be stalked at a time.

Subskills

Unpredictable - (Target - Tree)

__________ __________	Eillove searches for a secluded place to engage her target. She then lets the shadows to drag her and her target toward the spot. The shadows entangle the enemy for a few seconds.

Unforgivable - (Self - Position)

	Don't scream. You're already dead.

__	____.	________.	_______.	___.	_______.	__________________________.
	Mana	Cooldown	C. Range	AoE	Duration	Effects

Inescapable - (Passive)

__________ __________	Eillove is a familiar to the Realm of Shadows. This gives her a potentially deadly edge in combat. Every few seconds, Eillove summons shadow spirits to fuse with her daggers. This enables her next attack to remove her target's shared vision with its allies, shrink its vision, and reduce its armor. Passively increases Eillove's vision at night.
	Marco! Polo!

__	____.	________.	_______.	___.	_______.	__________________________.
	Mana	Cooldown	C. Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	N/A	11	N/A	N/A	3.25	Removes attacked unit's allied vision. Reduces its own vision by 50% and armor by 1. Passively increases Eillove's nightvision by 10%
2	N/A	10	N/A	N/A	3.50	Removes attacked unit's allied vision. Reduces its own vision by 60% and armor by 2. Passively increases Eillove's nightvision by 20%
3	N/A	9	N/A	N/A	3.75	Removes attacked unit's allied vision. Reduces its own vision by 70% and armor by 3. Passively increases Eillove's nightvision by 30%
4	N/A	8	N/A	N/A	4	Removes attacked unit's allied vision. Reduces its own vision by 80% and armor by 4. Passively increases Eillove's nightvision by 40%

Notes:

• Overrides Orb Effects.
• The skill is similar to Anub'seran's Geminate only with different effects.
• The duration pertains to the vision and armor reductions.

Intangible - (Passive)

__________ __________	Eillove's mind is composed of muddled thoughts and unfathomable figures. Her very being flows with numerous shadow spirits. This decreases the effectiveness of certain spells and increases her effectiveness in the battlefield.
	Can't touch this!

__	____.	________.	_______.	___.	_______.	__________________________.
	Mana	Cooldown	C. Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Decreases the duration of negative buffs by 5%. Passively increases Eillove's evasion by 5% and MS by 5% whenever she is near a tree.
2	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Decreases the duration of negative buffs by 10%. Passively increases Eillove's evasion by 10% and MS by 6% whenever she is near a tree.
3	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Decreases the duration of negative buffs by 15%. Passively increases Eillove's evasion by 15% and MS by 7% whenever she is near a tree.
4	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Decreases the duration of negative buffs by 20%. Passively increases Eillove's evasion by 20% and MS by 8% whenever she is near a tree.

Notes:

• Also affects negative buffs acquired from ultimates (sunch as Poison Nova or Viper Strike).

Impossible - (Self - Position)

__________ __________

Eillove turns nearby enemy heroes' shadows against them. Creates uncontrollable shadow illusions of all enemy heroes in an area around Eillove. These illusions spawn next to their hero and are identical to their heroes in every aspect (HP, MP, Damage, Stats) except in defense. Illusions only attack their hero. Leveling up this skill will cause the illusions to multiply when killed. Illusions receive 400% damage.

Rapid population growth: it sucks.

__	____.	________.	_______.	___.	_______.	__________________________.
	Mana	Cooldown	C. Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	150	120	N/A	500	See Effects Section	Summons 1 illusion for each enemy hero in the stated AOE around Eillove, dealing 100% of their hero's damage. Lasts 5 secs.
2	250	110	N/A	550	See Effects Section	Summons 1 illusion for each enemy hero in the stated AOE around Eillove, dealing 100% of their hero's damage. Lasts 5 secs. When a hero's illusion expires/is killed, it splits into 2 new illusions, each dealing 45% of their hero's damage. Lasts 4 secs.
3	350	100	N/A	600	See Effects Section	Summons 1 illusion for each enemy hero in the stated AOE around Eillove, dealing 100% of their hero's damage. Lasts 5 secs. When a hero's illusion expires/is killed, it splits into 2 new illusions, each dealing 45% of their hero's damage. Lasts 4 secs. When both of these illusions expire/are killed, they split into 3 new illusions, each dealing 27% of their hero's damage. Lasts 3 secs.

Notes:

• This is similar to Mercurial's Ultimate only instead of having a global range, this skill only affects enemy heroes near Eillove.
• Also, instead of summoning illusions of herself (like Mercurial does), she summons illusions of the enemy heroes.
• This is Eillove's 6th skill. Technically, her skill slots are full. But, she is still able to learn the attribute bonus skill (although when she does, the icon won't show - similar to Nevermore's case).

props to General Frank for the model. Check him out at DotA Allstars Discussion. props to Destructor [DoR], GooS, Mr.Goblin, NFWar, and minidreschi for the icons. Check them out at The Hive Workshop - The Warcraft 3 Modding Site.

bumpity bump. any reviews?

[Paladinoras]

6 skills? O_O

[menage0a0trois]

Observation:

This is a heavily low to mid game gank/roam oriented hero. None of her skills scale well into late game aside from her ultimate which however relies on the opponents scaling. No farming/pushing skills. Minimal team clash purpose.

Potential weakened by Dust, Wards, Gem, and Necro3.

The base movement speed is really high. But not her stats. Further weakening her late game potential.

Cool character model.
Unnoticeable uses Harbinger's Astral Imprisonment icon.
Impossible icon looks too much like Juxtapose
No picture for skill effects.
No test map.

Comments:
Feels like another Nerubian Assasin. Not exactly a bad thing I suppose.
The movement speed is too imba. Maybe 310?315? would be better?

@Paladinoras:

yea 6. invoker has more.

@menage0a0trois

fixed the MS. Unfortunately, i can't find nice enough icons for unnoticeable and impossible right now. And i'll try to fit a farming skill
