Plague Monstrosity Bubonic

The basic idea behind this Hero is to have a unique theme while giving players skills that are unique. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. If you do not understand any skill/s, please feel free to ask, as I will gladly explain for you. Just don’t flame me

Skill 1 is a wall spell that really blocks enemies with a little twist to it.
Skill 2 is a mirco-damage passive that can potential hit big if un-noticed.
Skill 3 is a unique skill to allow players to choose how they would like Bubonic to function, as a specific anti-hero or an overall anti-team or however the players wants Bubonic to be.
Ulti was design to follow the theme and played as unique as possible, e.g. like pac-man.

Rate my thread if you really think you wish to play this hero. Will also appreciate any signature riding if you like my suggestion/s.

Test Map coders are highly appreciated too.

Thanks for reading! Enjoy!

As Arthas and his undead minions latched on their horrifying siege against the city of Dalaran, he encountered three Archmagi ready to counter him: Peril Spellbinder, Tenn Flamecaster and Antonidas. But what Arthas did not know was that there was one more Archmage hidden in the city: Alric Soulblighter. He hid in a crazed attempt to forge a magical weapon that could drive back The Scourge from Dalaran forever, but ended up in discovering that there isn't a way for that. As he became more and more convinced that he and his brethren will surely fall to the Scourge's might, he tried to make himself impervious to their power. In his attempt, his own magic turned against him, making him the exact thing he was looking to avoid: a monstrousity. Crazed by his failed attempt, and knowing of the incoming danger he used his knowledge of magic to plague everything in his sight trying to kill them before the undead turn them.

• Skill Synergy
• Hero Synergy
• Item Synergy
  

+
Prevents enemy heroes from retreating from an infested creep group.

+
Blocks the running enemy path while chasing it with extra speed. Also increases damage dealt by Tentacles.

+
Allows you to place more amplified infested rodent as you are able to catch up with the enemy hero.

+
Ultimate also absorbs tentacles, hence adding more firepower inside Bubonic while creating a bigger Bubonic with additional duration.

+
Ultimate will increase the chance that the infested rodent will have a new host as all absorbed units are placed next to each other.

+
With the extra Move Speed from the buff, Bubonic will be able to catch up most of its prey to absorb. Scatter shot Deconstruct-DNA buff allows Bubonic to chase all enemy heroes with equal speed, concentrated Deconstruct-DNA buff allows Bubonic to really be able to catch up with that specific target.

Judgement time! Hahaha

SKILL 01 - It's good, but seems to be a bit IMBALANCED as the tentacles attack speed interval is 0.5 seconds. Don't you think it's just too fast?
SKILL 02 - Fuckingly awesome man! Really like it.
SKILL 03 - Impressive skill but doesn't seem to fit a sluggish, disgusting hero like him. He deserves better, GROSSER skill, man. You can use this skill for another hero suggestion.
ULTIMATE - Simple, but perfect.
OVERALL - NO, DON'T WORRY, PARENTAL ADVISORY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE NEEDED HAHAHA! T-UP ANYWAY,

[Antonius_Block]

Great hero! It seems that we both came with similar ideas (Check my Crovax hero suggestion)

1st skill = Nice, but as the poster above said, tentacles attack too fast.

2nd skill = Great, i really like it.

3rd skill = Seems kind of slow to me, you will get all those bonuses after a looong time, seems kind of useless late game.

Ulti = Very original, it works very well on paper.

Keep up the good work!

@blackra1n
Thanks dude for reviewing. Glad you like it. Anyway, I've nerfed Tentacle Wall. Too bad, there are more people reading it and not giving feedback. =(

@rafiiki
Appreciate the review too. As mentioned, I've nerfed Tentacle Wall.
Anyway, I don't get you when you say Deconstruct DNA is an early game skill... Generally, fixed damaged spells are early game spells and percentage-base spell are late game ones.. Hence how is amplifying more damage consider a early game spell?


Anyway, I'm hoping I get more feedback... Compare to other posts, the average ratio for views and replies are really not adding up.. Is this suggestion that bad? Or is the skills too complex?

[liamblade]

I love it! t-up on the hero man. I do agree with rafiki, the skills are awesome, but if you're going to change a skill, I would change the third. I'm thinking AOE damage plague, similar to alchemist's acid spray, but with a disease theme

T-up

[gamerinboxers]

@liamblade
Thanks for the short review and suggestion!
Input is under consideration. If more people feedback this way, I will change it.
I'm currently not comfortable changing it as the ultimate relies greatly on MS which Tentacles Wall helps only by alittle and Infested Rodent does not. Hence Deconstruct DNA was crafted. However, Deconstruct DNA need to be balanced by allowing Bubonic to only be able to very fast against a single enemy hero or very small increase in MS towards the whole team. Anyway, thanks and I'll await for more feedback.

[liamblade]

Ah well, I guess on re-reading its O.K. I like how rodent stacks, and I see synergy that you can chase with DNA pod and infect the enemy with rodents. Pretty good DPS, perhaps improved by radiance, If this guy is a one hero chaser. Rodents, I guess is simmilar to gyro's rocket barrage, in a way. If this guy is a sorta ganker/chaser, then its his ulti that sorta doesn't fit, but its a good way to contribute to the team (silence entire other team), and synergises with rodents, tentacles and perhaps radiance. I do like the hero. You're good at this, real creative man. T-up

[Antonius_Block]

What I don't like about the 3rd skill is that it seems very slow... You gain the bonuses after a while, you know... Maybe you could make something like an AoE disease-themed slow, that way you can catch heroes with your ulti...

Keep on working in your awsome suggestion! plz check some of my suggestions too

[gamerinboxers]

@rafiiki

Point note, may put in a slow spell, but i need think of something unique for slow, else its not my style.. hehe.. =P
Thanks!

[Flavyta]

I'll try and come up with a background story here, maybe I'm insane but this sounds interesting to me:
As Arthas and his undead minions latched on their horrifying siege against the city of Dalaran, he encountered three Archmagi ready to counter him: Peril Spellbinder, Tenn Flamecaster and Antonidas. But what Arthas did not know was that there was one more Archmage hidden in the city: Alric Soulblighter. He hid in a crazed attempt to forge a magical weapon that could drive back The Scourge from Dalaran forever, but ended up in discovering that there isn't a way for that. As he became more and more convinced that he and his brethren will surely fall to the Scourge's might, he tried to make himself impervious to their power. In his attempt, his own magic turned against him, making him the exact thing he was looking to avoid: a monstrousity. Crazed by his failed attempt, and knowing of the incoming danger he used his knowledge of magic to plague everything in his sight trying to kill them before the undead turn them.

Question: Once the units are inside the stomach, will they be damaged by Radiance?

Answer: Yup, If randiance belongs to enemy, everyone in the stomach and Bubonic gets damage over time. If radiance belongs to self or allies(in stomach or in AoE), all enemy units gets it. Currently the concept is to enclose enemies into an area and royal rumble with your allies without spells, meaning only melee attacks are restricted inside or outside Bubonic. I have not considered about AoE spells cast on Bubonic, and whether units inside it gets damaged too. But base on the answer I've given, I'm leanning towards outsides spells still do affect all units in AoE. Wonder if that is balanced... hmm....

[Teh_Heartless]

So how would you see the heroes eaten? I'm just curious.

Basically, the Sludge turn semi transparent and whatever it touches will be teleported into the middle of it (Captured unites has no collusion~).
Hence, you will see a mass of units in the middle of a semi-transparent gaint slime. =)

[Teh_Heartless]

You mean like a giant moving Chronosphere? LOL

[FleshTRNDstone]

Lol nice idea
I especially like the 3rd skill!!
And ultimate seems rather fun too

[Ironside]

This is pure awesomeness, love the idea.
