Background Story:

I am the bone of my book
Paper is my body, and ink is my blood
I have deciphered over a thousand scriptures

Unknown to death
Nor known to life

Have withstood pain to read many pages
Yet these eyes will never see anything

So as I pray,
Unlimited Paperwork

[blackra1n]

Ulti is so IMBA, man.
Item mute is already imba, and the duration is 14 secs???
Gezzz... but other skills look okay, T-Null.

[mikiok]

Ok, so...

The first skill - quite nice, not to new dezle have similar skill and this think with stuns would prabobly hard to code or has to have an event for every skill. And whats with that name, it just dont fit. But its not so bad if you ask me

Second skill - I like it. Its similar to other damge bounds but still difrent and very usfull for team battle.

Third skill - very supportive think, maybe a bit overpowered on the middle game. I like this one to.

Ultimate - I saw a lot of skills like that and it dont fully fit the rest of the hero. Its also overpowered. I dont like it.

I think that hero is not bad and we dont have uter or normal paladin in dota and thats a big plus of all ideas using those models. Concept is not a revolution but its nice You will have to work on some cind of realy cool and uniqe ulti and this will be a great hero.

[kanzakill]

The point of this hero is to troll his enemies and allow his allies to continue fighting as long as possible. All his skills serve those purposes. I don't see how the ultimate skill doesn't fit the rest of the hero.

Thank you though.

No, I mean the ultimate is just imbalanced.

[Kouganei]

Item muting is uncodable, unless you change them to the muted versions that is already in game (it will look weird because the tooltip will say "This item is muted, this doesn't belong to you")

[Harnstoff]

I like the theme and the idea with the books

[kanzakill]

blackra1n, that wasn't directed at you.

Tezca Tlipoca, you proved that it is possible to code. In a figurative sense, muted items don't really belong to their holder.

Harnstoff, I'm glad you think so. However, not many people think the same.

[Sven2k]

lolol I thought the thread title was ''serious trolling''
rename him

[kanzakill]

Why?

Moreover, who are you and why are you ordering me around?

[SimplyCrazy]

1 spell - uncodeable (dynamic bash system needs A LOT OF CODE in dota -.-). But idea is nice.
2 -HUGE T-UP. Really like it.
3 and 4 -boring and OP and muting is hardcodeable. t-down

first of all I'm not ordering you
and secondly I'm giving a suggestion cuz like you know this is a hero sugg
or are you expecting only t-up comments

[Flame13]

Yep...another Metalica fan...lol not quite the best name for a skill...btw Metalica rules!!!

OT: 1st:The skill is weird and I don't know about coding much so I don't say it isn't codable but I would like if someone would say an opinion about it...
2nd:Good skill and highly efficient for real teams...
3rd:I don't know about this one...
Ulti:Well well, I think it is a bit imba...and there might be many problems with it...like wtf happens with aghanim's or what if the Gaunlet is on and got muted after it? It remains on until duration ends then he really sucks...so I don't know about this one either...

Wrong. Removing buffs isn't hard.
And what does "hardcoable" mean?

@Sven2k:
Mind the way you're talking. Maybe you didn't mean it but you sounded very rude. That way of talking will get you in problems.
And I don't see any problem with the name. I'm not the kind of person that does anything people say just to earn more replies.

@Flame13:
I don't mean to let you down but I'm not a Metalica fan. I like some of their songs, but I'm no where near a fan.
Thank you for pointing out the problems of ultimate skill.

By the way, can't anyone notice the obvious?

scienco trolling: the last part from his ultimate is uncodeable

[sand-fish]

the ultimate is not a synergy with the rest of the spells.. think of something else

Wrong. Swapping items can be easily coded.

Wrong.
During late game, the enemy carrier (whose most damage comes from items) is often the biggest source of damage. This skill disables that enemy's items, which greatly reduces incoming damage to Srious' team. Because of that reduction, the second skill will be able to keep Srious' teammates alive as long as possible, which allows his third skills to prolong their lives even more.
