[REMAKE] Magina's Blink => Swift Step

[NoThlnG]

Well, the problem is that the skill is too similar with Akasha's.

And, Magina is currently rather underused

For current skill, please refer here


Swift StepsAbility Type: Active
Targeting Type: Point
Ability Hotkey : E



Notes:

• Magina gains short invulnerability when moves
• The charge gaining stops temporarily when moving

• Make Magina more interesting
• Differentiate with Akasha's Blink

If you don't understand the skill or you want to see the visual, you can download the testmap

Testmap : [REMAKE] Magina - Blink.w3x

Notes

The charge indicator I'm using in the testmap is numbers. However, the real charge indicator will be similar to Visage's. There will be a bar above Magina. I can't do modeling so I couldn't use it on my testmap.

Will make him a lot more interesting!

But why the cost change?

Mana cost you mean? Since it became more spammable with the cost of less range

[Smaragdos]

Kinda like the concept. How long is the skill-charge disable when you blink? Otherwise T-up on the concept.

Until the movement stop...

So, if I move 700 range with 10 ranger per 0.01 second, it will be disabled for 0.7 seconds

[Smaragdos]

So you have to stand still? Still a fine concept. Keeping up my thumb.

[NoThlnG]

^ Err... What do you mean?

[coldmush]

T-Up for this idea!

I meant Magina has to stand still to charge the blinks. Or did I misunderstand something again?

Edit: Nevermind I tried the TestMap. I get it now.^^ BTW, the testmap blink didn't let it blink over obstacles(at least trees...).

[Fate Trap]

So it loses charge on how much range u traveled? If iz like that then T-up...

Hmm... Ok, I'll change it a bit wait a minute

EDIT : Testmap updated. Now it uses Locust instead of Invulnerability. So, it can pass all obstacles.

Yes

[Monsterlord]

I don't like it to be honest. You've kind of put an implicit 7s cd on it, because that's how long you need to wait before you can use it to it's full extent again, and even then it's at a nerfed range.

1. I can change the numbers anytime

2. You can 'split' the Blinks. I mean you can 300 + 300 + 300 + 100 when you have full charge and it does much more thing than single 1000 blink.

3. Invulnerability is very valuable.

well, looks cool.
but isnt it too short? current blink - 1200, and ur limit - 700. why?

See your above post

[DracoLich]

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        Distance[0] Greater than 700.00
    Then - Actions
        Set Point[1] = (Point[0] offset by 700.00 towards Angle[1] degrees)
        Set Distance[0] = (Distance between Point[1] and Point[0])
    Else - Actions

why u set limit 700?
10 charges mean 1000 range, if i want jump for 1000, why i should do it like 700+7 sec+300?

[Domenico]

Non-ulti variation of Ball Lightning to some point? )
I'm not sure though... This will make him somewhat better at chasing and offering more challenge (with a reward) to player's skill. To the other side, I like his current blink aesthetically-wise, and current one is more confusing, less obvious when you are first one to go in (when ganking) or something...

travel time almost same as before

If you want to go 1000, just 700 + 0.3 seconds (0.7 seconds for move) + 300.

It was intentionally made like that. Oh, BTW, at first, the charges were upto 12

And there's invulnerability

I got it man. That's why i said about Ball Lightning ) Unlike BL tho, Swift step offers less mobility when it comes to long range than current blink. It seems somewhat fair though...
I see the way you are going to make Magina being picked more.

Don't get me wrong, it's interesting idea.
