[STR - Neutral] Drago, Son of Malygos

[Rheingod]

Dragonspawn
Drago, Son of Malygos

Background Story: His name was but a whisper, those who knew of him spoke reverently. As a premature hatchling of the mighty dragon Malygos, he was never expected to survive. It was hardship, not nurturing that gave him strength. It was seclusion not community that gave him brilliance. It was doubt not praise that made him a warrior. It was these qualities that earned him a high rank among the Blue Dragonflight and known harbinger of justice for his ancient brethren

Definite ganker/chaser/tank.

The craggy exterior-like ability is a little op, I think the damage is too high, his chasing ability is superb, his nuke is dandy, and the ult makes for a very dangerous hero.

overall, I dig it, mmhmm.

I can see you spent more time than people usually put into hero ideas, which is vewwy nice.

And it looks good.
Smells good.
Probably tastes good too.

Well thank you kind sir. Pyro.Archer. and I are dusting off the cobwebs and trying to some brain's storming. Are you referring to "Accountability" as "Craggy Exterior"? We are re-working Dragonflight, it's gonna be better . Thanks XGIRAFFEX!

Yes. The point where you actually click with determine where the halberd will explode. The Casting range will make it explode at Max distance, but if you click inside it's casting range, it will explode where you want it to.

I wanted to commend you on your hero, I never got to officially do it in your thread, but very nice hero. I'm impressed with the quality of the guide, the time you put into it, and the great work that came out of it. I will admit your hero was a source of inspiration (I wanted to raise Frost Wyrms as the ultimate).

Thanks for the compliments! Let us know what you think PD!

[Pyro.Archer.]

Accountability changes are due up next, please give any and all input as you can muster. Honesty is always appreciated. Let us know what you like, what you don't like and everything in between.

Thanks PD

The new dragonflight remembers me of Barathrum.

Yes I do agree. As with all my heroes, I am malleable. Check back for updates, changes, and overall good times!

[Sgt Failure]

I like the hero, but some skills reminds me very much of other:

Dragonlance=Powershot+Disable
Dragonflight=Temporary Bara

Other skills seems good, do accountability work while in egg to? Otherwise, i think that the skills are nice, but really? He needs some kind of synergy? I suggest a remake of either accountability or lance, keep ultimate.

Thank you for your review. The synergy that I can see right now is Dragonlance + Dragonflight. Boost MS to catch up to frozen target. Dragonlance + Accountability. Gives vision of the unit, so you can see where you need to throw the lance.
Accountability + Dragonflight: An invisble jerk attacks, gets a scale, you boost your MS, to hunt him down attack, throw lance.

We really do appreciate honesty, he's not in final form, but we are taking all posts into consideration. Thanks again.

[Pyro.Archer.]

Thank you for the feedback. It would seem you are correct, those two abilities are a bit too similar to bara's and windwalkers'. We did some tweaking to Halberd and Dragonflight to be a little more unique while still holding their original purpose.

Changes to come soon, keep up the input!

Thanks,

dragon lance says lost 10% of dmg every unit pass, who lost dammage our hero or the creep?

Think about Powershot. Similar to that.

[Maya]

Wow, a second review request! Thanks for the interest, I'll try to do my best.

Cosmetics
A good model, looks like a dragon hatchling. If I remember correctly, that's one of the Ancients. Needs a story though. I hope the graphics are going to be showy. Icons are all right with the exception of the Accountability, which looks just ludicrous. And as far as I know, Malygos is a 'he'. [I haven't played World of Warcraft but one of my friends is an enthusiast and he has told me the story (not that I burned in curiosity, I'm just a good listener).]

Verdict: 8/15


Stats
They seem decent. I find the armor and damage a little lacking for a melee strength hero with below-average primary attribute. Better than imbalanced though.

Verdict: 8/10


Skills
1. Dragonlance: simply a non-channeling Powershot with less damage and range and more mana cost and reuse, with an added freeze effect. Might require a degree of skill to use, which is always a plus - I don't like newbie-friendly heroes. A good and balanced concept overall, though I don't like the obvious similarity with Powershot. 7/10
2. Dragonflight: There's a tooltip error ("Drake gains 15% of Current MS as bonus damage for duration."). With the 50 raw move speed bonus, assuming he's wearing an activated Phase Boots, his total MS will be (295+50+60)*1.1 = 445.5, resulting in 89.1 bonus damage at the 10th tick. That's not much and it has a reasonable mana cost and reuse time. I like the skill, though MS bonus skills are abundant already. 9/10
3. Accountability: the skill has a decent degree of originality with that revealing stuff, yet it's a bit similar to Stone Giant's passive. It's not clear whether it stacks, though. 15% chance for 100 pure damage isn't that much of a threat (roughly 15 damage/hit in the long run), which will cause the skill's skipping if there aren't invisible enemies. You should rework it a little. The icon is very ugly but I have already mentioned that. 7/10
4. Ancient Resolve: The description is very vague, but I think it's a passive skill like Reincarnation. If that's the case, I definitely love the skill, although it may turn out to be kind of situational. Just fix the tooltip. 10/10

Verdict: 41/50


Total: 49/65 | 75.38% | Decent

Overall: I see a lot of potential here. Yes, I know it's hard to be original nowadays, but I'm sure you will do something about it. Oh, and if you need my services again, just let me know.

[Pyro.Archer.]

Thank you so much for the in depth review, I will CERTAINLY ask for your services again. We currently have an update for Lance and Dragonflight that makes them more unique while still being viable. We will look for a new icon for Accountability and maybe add some kind of secondary effect. I will say that the new Dragonflight is almost completely different and truly separates it from other MS type abilities.

Thanks again!

I am not female, carry on.

Clever use of the Phoenix egg from ladder for his ultimate.

[Pyro.Archer.]

I did some research, lore and skill changes to come very soon. Background story has been drafted and almost finished. Check back for updates.
