[REMAKE] Magina's Core Skills

[jawawaQ]

Magina wasn't nicknamed the Anti-Mage for no reason. His passive Mana Break attack allows him to deal extra damage and cripple a caster's mana supply. With a great understanding of the spiritual realm, he becomes more resilient against magical attacks using his Spell Shield, along with the ability to Blink across short distances for superb maneuverability.
Seeking out weary casters, he uses Mana Void to inflict immense damage for high amounts of missing mana. Although he will be at a natural disadvantage to casters early on, as his powers grow, there is none better suited for bringing the greatest of spell casters down to their knees.

His mastery of magic was so much so that Magina had become invulnerable to magic itself. Now hell bent on saving his twin brother, Magina goes to the battlefield using those evil energies of his enemies against themselves, rendering their own selves unable to use these magics they hold dear and making the Scourge powerless as they witness their own spontaneous combustion.

Core Skills

Magic Shears (G)

Attackspeed Buff + Silence (Chance)
No casting animation.

Pros:

How useful is this ability?
- If there is one thing Magina can't have thats silence.
- Magic Shears increases his attackspeed to give more mana debuff.
- The silence protects him from spells.
Reasons for implementation
- Tweak + Buff

Cons:

How do we counter this ability?
- BKB, Linkens, Ghost Scepter or avoid being attacked.

Manabreak (B)

He is given a Manabreak (buff) after blinking.
This Manabreak (buff) allows him to burn mana per attack.
As long as he has the buff he can mana burn.
Burns the mana of enemies within 185 AoE at 1000 maxrange
Think Skewer (Magmus)
Relocate (like Force Staff)

Pros:

How useful is this ability?
- Massive manaburn with Magic Shears!
- Manaburns enemies within the line, you might kill them if your lucky enough.
- Gives a mana debuff in a more team-effective role.
- Removes orb-effect allowing him to wield Desolator, Satanic, S&Y
Reasons for implementation
- Melee heroes are vulnerable to manaburn.
- This will make it more cooldown efficient.

Cons:

How do we counter this ability?
- Purge removes the 6 second buff.
- BKB, Ghost Scepter or avoid being attacked.

Magecoat (Y)

Magic Barrier absorbs a certain amount of magic damage
Resets every 1.5 seconds.
Magic Damage taken is not reduced by spell resistance*

Pros:

How useful is this ability?
- It is possible that Magina will take the least amount of damage if perfectly timed.
- Protects him from magic but allows enemy heroes to counter his magic resistance by attacking (spells) while the Magecoat delays 1.5 seconds.
- If the barrier is dispelled it will reset after 1.5 seconds.
- If the magic barrier is consumed he is vulnerable to normal magic damage.
Reasons for implementation
- Tweak

Cons:

How do we counter this ability?
- Purge removes the Barrier. One charge only.
- Use all damage skills within 1.5 seconds!

__________________________________________________
Skill Synergy
Use Manabreak to initiate and burn enemy mana.
Once you arrived next to your enemies, activate Magic Shears to increase your attackspeed and maximize mana-burn for a few seconds. They might be silence after a few consecutive hits.
The Magecoat will protect you from magic damage. Use blindspots to delay them and reset your magic barrier or continue attacking them while they are silenced and experience severe mana loss.
Finish them off with Mana Void.

__________________________________________________
Item Slots

Attackspeed items gives a great buff to Magic Shears and Manabreak.
Increases silencing rate and mana burn at a short amount of time.

Note: Magina can use Mask of Madness since he has no more orb-effects.


Mana providing items gives him enough mana to casts spells.


Magina can now use orb-effect items.


Damage-based items are buffed Magina's IAS.


Listed as situational.

Phew, those tags are gone.

[Torchic Maniac]

I am just wondering.... why have silence and feedback on the same hero?
Plus the Magic Coat will either be really powerful or very pointless and it all depends on the numbers (since a nuke barrage would just screw the shield over).

[jawawaQ]

I'll answer those later. The tags are getting making it harder.

1d Yes good idia but synergy with ult gone (coz u 2d looks broken) and Magina has fastest attack so potential he permasilencer.

2d skill has poor description. Wtf how it burn mana? Looks like ordinary force staff.

3d totaly stupid. 200 Damage is what nerf 95% of spells to zero. Oh no look to 100. Cool.

t-d in summary

When you gank disablers. You'll be bother by the stun, the silence buff gives you a chance to counter their spells. It can be useful against Lycan since he can't chase him if Lycan notices where he blinks.

This might work the same way as Troll Warlord's stun.

WOW! Like did you even read those?! The mana burn is still there.

Read the Pros and Cons!

[ag00]

This called description:

Magina enchants his magic blade gaining more speed in battle. Each of his attacks has 15% to silence for 2.5 seconds. Lasts 10 seconds.

And what skill do must be there. Pros and Cons have no connection with how u try to use it.

And 2 effects in one make him much more imbalanced than i dicided first.

add: Magecoat overused for terrorblade and not connected with magina. Dont say "it's ladder DH skill".

1. I agree, it will be written but give me time for this.
2. Its tweaked. Take note that most players take turns in casting a spell. I can tweak this later.

What is this I don't even?

[Rizenix]

I only approve your Suggested Spell Shield. But the others aren't needed IMO.

[Wimpex]

- If there is onething magina can't have thats silence.

agree
but I think that the concept undone

[fitzfr]

Silencer is perfectly balanced now. Just make a new hero with ur skills.
