Grappler
Stoic Thunderwrath

Background Story:
Though born the heir of the noble family of Thunderwrath, Stoic refuses to believe in God. And yet had his lover Krobelus not been lynched for being a Death Sayer, he wouldn't have decided to seek complete freedom. And for that he needs strength. Maximizing the potential of that little of human, Stoic can damage his opponents by using their own power. Swift like a wind, his movement are feared by even the fastest fighters, his punches hit them even before they realize. When situation calls, he can focus all his power into his fingertip letting it penetrate even the strongest armors.

• He will first walk until the ordered spot is within range and then blink
• While grappling an opponent, the range is halved
• Stoic can't walk normally while grappling, otherwise the opponent will be released
• Cooldown:
  

  Number of consecutive use	Cooldown at level 1
  1	0.5
  2	1

  And so on
• If Stoic don't blink in a duration equal to the cooldown after it finishes, the cooldown will be set to the previous value

Eye and Tooth - (Passive)

____________________

Being a master at close combat, Stoic can easily use his opponents' power to damage them. The further they are from him, the less he can make use of this technique.

Gone with the Wind - (Passive)

All Passive? :3

[Lotus V Eater]

is that possible to have all passive skills in DotA?

[Bilskirmir]

new skill ideas but you can guarantee every noob would play this hero because all his skills are passive.

[sheep.skin]

I like the armor thing. 1337 woot!

And uhh.. All Passive? O.O Wow. Noobs will surely love this.

[pixelrate]

Just for people who don't know, Eye and Tooth stands for "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", and Spirit Gun is from Yu Yu Hakusho

No, they will suck using this hero.

[Lotus V Eater]

since Prejudice is bad for my health, so i'm gonna comments on this hero.

1st skill: i love the CD thingy..well it is good to avoid this skill being abused. So this skill would allow Stoic standing nearby his opponents...in order to make others skill become effective....

2nd skill: so this skill would make Stoic deal massive damage when he is very close to his opponents? Make this in percentage, with Basher, he can become legendary hero easily.

3rd skill: very nice skill, very well synergize with his 1st and 2nd skill.

ultimate: why must 1337? anyway very nice skill to be combo with others of his skill. Hahahaha

[kanzakill]

why must 1337?

To penetrate through Omniknight's ultimate skill.

And thank you.

It's mean to bypass any form of armor bonuses.

This is, contrary to common belief, not necessarily an all passive hero. (I really think you should clarify this. It took me a moment to understand why...)

Although all his skills themselves are passive in the sense of not being an active click and use, all his actions effect the activation, or lack thereof, of his skills. Stopping for a moment will trigger the spirit gun mana+1337 armor reduction. Movement will trigger moonwalk, but it can go on cooldown for when you really need it. I'd say he has 2 passives and 2 pseudo-actives.

I really like the hero tho...

skill 1 Everyone loves the blink movement ^^ IDK if you were active on DA or not but a really popular ultimate suggestion was very similar to this skill (active, duration, lower cooldown that doesn't increase per blink) not sure if it's balanced, but I still love the concept.

Skill 2 This is really good. (Although due to the limitations, I'd make it on whole damage.) My only qualm with this skill is that a 500+ range hero will take no damage for attacking Stoic.

Skill 3 First, make the drag based on location when drag occurs. Otherwise, you can just moonwalk pass towers and these people will be dragged with him. Yeah batrider is redundant now Otherwise, really like this skill.

Skill 4 For a moment, I was wondering if it was imba but I'd say it's quite good. It'll deal a lot of damage, and kinda makes Amplify damage shirk in comparison, but it doesn't give vision, and has shitty range (100-300) so maybe it'll work out. I like the synergy with moonwalk.

overall Well synergizing, a new system of pseudoactives, and very very fun to play. I definitely like the hero.

[Nizaris]

Skill 1 is...you grappling peoples every time? That will be annoying.

All the skills execpt ultimate don't need mana, i don't agree, dealing damage and all the effect without any cost. T-Down...

[Neoghost]

All passive... that's not hard to make them active...

And I'm totally agree with Nizaris.

T-down

[doomed2die]

Well, since this is a misconcepted response IMO

Skill 1 is you blink instead of walking with a stacking cooldown per movement order/movement distance.

None of his skills do damage. And they're pseudo-active. Besides, an all passive hero wouldn't kill dota. Stop the misconceptions and the presumptions and actually look at the hero.

T-down

If someone were to make a test map of this and you were to actually play it, you probably would screw up pretty badly. this isn't an easy hero to play. There's lots of activity you have to do to not screw him up. The skills may be passive but using him sure as hell isn't.

Skill1 seems anti creep block btw.

[Nizaris]

even Mortred and other blink heroes like Magina need mana to blink...this hero get for free and not only that, he grapple means disable his opponent for free...i don't agree, T-Down

That's not skill 1. Sure, he gets a bash OMG who ever heard of that? BTW he has no damage skills remember that.

Now you're just nitpicking numbers, not concept for 1. Second, this hero gets free blink sure, but it gets a cooldown and a much lower range. This cooldown just keeps going up, up, up, up, up, up...

[Nizaris]

It's free...not fair....nothing for freeeee.......

It's fair... It can add a manacost, look at CONCEPTS

[azraelzbane]

1337?

[Noman]

T-up
Its nice idea, if you could have a full active skills on a hero, why not full pasive? (BTW you got ulti as active...
