Default Pandota's Pyxis


May 21
Fixed abuse with stacking items (thanks to aestropher)



Pandota's Pyxis

Recipe:
+++=
875+803+800+1100=3578

Description:
Voices of the dead echoes in the mind of one who bears this cursed artifact.

Before:After:
A lot of bonusesGift of Curiosity (active)

Gift of Curiosity (active):
Gives each enemy hero a replica of this item
Disappears upon use

The replicas:
Cannot be dropped
Cannot be sold
When used, disappears and permanently change one creep spawned in each lane of the original's holder into a Mega creep
If it's already a Mega creep, changes it into a Super creep

Notes:
  • This item can only be made once each game
  • If an enemy hero has a full inventory, his cheapest item will be sent to his circle
  • Bounty for Mega and Super creeps made by this item is the same as bounty for normal Mega creeps
  • The effect of the replicas is retroactive, which means creeps made into Mega creeps will become Super creeps when enemy buildings are destroyed

It's Pandora.
Although good, I don't think this fits well with DotA.

@DrQwertySilence:
OK.

@gilvert:
I clearly know that you're well-intentioned and I'm happy that you care. However, did you actually think that I had mistook "Pandora" for "Pandota" after researching, coming up with this idea and changing "box" to "pyxis"?
I could have simply named it "Pandora's Box". Still, where's the fun in that?

Well, there are creeps and item slots in DotA. So technically, it fits

IMHHHHHO, it's OP. Also, would you mind using this template? I just can't read it that good. It's ok if you don't want to, it's just a suggestion.

I love the idea but dislike the thing that can change creeps.

Lol'd at 'Pandota' Well done there. I don't think this should be implemented because it would affect metagame in a weird way, also it's imbalanced and balancing it would be a very hard process due to the effect it provokes.
Best luck next time, Cheers~

I see it as an item to delay your opponent in his item builds and perhaps even destroy them.
since they will be forced to use the item at some point, otherwise they'd be stuck with 1 less item slot.

so I wonder, can you stack it? I mean, use it again and if the enemy didnt use it already he'll now have 2.
if you do it, there should be a cd/mc to it now.
