I was so ready to go berserk with reasons why this should be in the game.

But you thought it through.

Gj and actually a fairly balanced skill I might way.

Counter -> people mass gg branches!
The least cost worthy counter to any spell in the game lol!
Would be great for those hero's who start with boots and late game when most slots are taken with useful junk.

Default Re: [Skill] Steal Item

Concept is fine, but perhaps the scaling instead could increase the maximum cost of items that it could steal, starting wiht 500, going to no cap. Keep cooldown at a lower amount, and give back item if you go to fountain.

@R.U.Sty
well rusty, even if they mass GG branch..the slot will still be useless. Means the victim will lose one slot, and you know carries needs item @ late game.

@APL
yeah, you can steal(lock) aegis. which is funny..Lol. Useless Aegis.

@Sarge
how about the stealer is constantly revealed? equals to free bait. sight aoe will be small enough just to see him only. Lets say we go with your style, will it still be random? will it still have 1 item only cap?.

Sarge i think your idea fits "Break" theme. [Break Item], while Steal Item last until victim kills the stealer, Break Item last until victim reached fountain. Fair?

Default Re: [Skill] Steal Item

Guess its fair enough, but i'd still rather see a increasing maximum worth that could be stealed, and keeping the cooldown at a constant 75, cause it kinda sux earlygame.

Default Re: [Skill] Steal Item

does the enemy get's his item back when the caster dies?

I don't like wasting my inventory slot, so you should just make the item disabled/unusable/undroppable by the target until you die

why?

well what if the enemy hero fills all of his inventory slots and he doesn't have enough room to retrieve the item back? he's screwed

Good skill. Need a Hero now to get it on!

Aegis have no price, so i suppose it can be locked only after the skill is lvl4?

Default Re: [Skill] Steal Item

It is a nice idea to have such a skill, but your hero may only have like 5 items if you have this skill. That's what you are saying right now...

If you make the stolen item get transported to your circle, where it is undropable or unable to be picked up, it should work quite nice.
You might have to think about changing the duration too, like till the original owner or you die or give it a long duration, like 5 minutes or so.

Just thoughts that were flying in my head.

no it's not like doom

it completely shuts down the item, meaning it disables every bonus you gain from it

Doom only silences you from using items

get it?

I think Sarg.'s is better. If return to fountain, return the item.

Thanks dejaime, but it is really not mine suggetsion, but i still have to agree with you (YAY), i dont know if abyss misunderstood me earlier, but i mean only if the caster returns to fountain, perhaps it clarifies things a bit.

Default Re: [Skill] Steal Item

If the item isn't actually stolen and transported to your possession, then why is it called Steal Item?

It should rather be called Freeze Item or Block Item or something like that, instead of Steal Item...



Block Item


Freeze Item

Just a suggestion..
