[INT-SENT] Andhoras Whitefield the Mystical Adept

[R.B.Economy]

This is an independent thread of my 1st CTH entry.

Andhoras Whitefield the Mystical Adept



At a glance, Andhoras may seem older than he actually is. Little do people know that Andhoras is 18 years old, but having the arcane abilities comparable to those of the Elder Magi. This is because his interest for mystical magic developed as early as he learned to read, and he put all his time into arcane studies, and did what other child at his age couldn't do. He joined the cause of the Sentinels when he acknowledged the war from a faithful meeting with Luna Moonfang whom he falls in love with. Andhoras bravely steps into the war side by side with his love by supporting the Sentinels with arcane spells that bolsters the march of the Sentinels towards eliminating the evil forces once and for all.

Uses:
• Push booster. (Kill creeps quick)
• Has increased potential with Sentinel.

Synergy


Having Latent Current at 2 different lanes to support/push. Also helps in denying and weakening enemies' ability to last hit.


Chance to cast it free, and support/push at different lanes, or reinforce the same lane.


Increases nuke potential and capability to push different lanes.


Enemies are severely weakened against your creeps, unless they kill Andhoras.


All in combo for support/push. Also great in jungling, farming and defense.

Seems like a really interesting and cool hero.
So far just some comments about the sentinels mechanics and the ulti.

How does the ulti work when a Sentinel of yours is in another lane? Because I imagine the Sentinel working like Phantom Lancer's images also casting ghost lance at the same target you click (with the ulti, which is a targeted spell). What happens when they are outside the 2000 range of the location you click, will they walk towards it? Or do they have to be close to you in order for it to proc the ulti (that would be a solution)? It would also be cool if they cast the ulti in their own lane straight ahead of them, like a sf-raze.

Second, for your ulti, doesnt a 2 sec cd/150 hero dmg/ 2000 range ability seem REALLY overpowered? Yes it scales down in lategame, but if you reach lvl 16 (or even 11) really quickly, which may happen with a solo lane, it's like a clockwerk rocket (range and easy targeting) combined with phoenix ray (continuous and no cd) minus the annoying control issues. It is kind of balanced with just Andhoras, but if he has 2 sentinels near him (as can happen when sentinel is leveled to 4), he can deal 300 (450 at lvl 16) hero dmg every 2 secs for 20 secs.. WITH A 2000 RANGE! Seems kind of imba but maybe im just getting it wrong.

Btw sorry if these comments have already been made to you, ive just seen this thread and not the CTH one.

Good job, great creativity otherwise. He reminds me a bit of the old Ezalor with the guardian spirit in terms of hero-role. Is that why you picked the Priest model?

edit:
LOL this came from 2009.. Never mind all that I wrote. I still think this could be a really cool hero btw..

It's a nice hero, although the ulti is....
