MathsDebator · 03-08-2012, 09:27 AM

Lord Voldemort

Type: Active

Targeting: N/A

Hotkey: Z

A branch of magic dedicated to protecting the caster against unfriendly attackers. Formally known as the Protective Magics. Permanently grants +1 Armor per level.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	+1 Armor
2	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	+2 Armor
3	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	+3 Armor
4	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	+4 Armor
5	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	+5 Armor
6	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	+6 Armor

Note1. Can be levelled 6 times.
Note2. Improves Horcrux, Protego, Expelliarmus and Reducto.
Note3. Summoning Magics has no cast-time

Bonuses are permanent, regardless of which Magics are currently summoned.

Refer to Hero Mechanics for summoning Magics details

Type: Active

Targeting: Ally Unit

Hotkey: D

An ancient and reviled route to immortality. The Dark Lord rips apart his soul to create a Horcrux, bestowing it within an ally unit. The Horcrux lasts a max duration based upon the Protective magics, or until the holder dies. While the Horcrux dwells within existence, the Dark Lord cannot die. Creating a Horcrux costs a percentage of his max hp, based upon the Protective Magics, but is non-fatal.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	200	60 sec	250-400*	N/A	5 – 10 sec	Protects the Dark Lord from death

Note1. All potentially fatal damage will reduce his hp to 1
Note2. Is not removed by Purge/Dispel
Note3. Cast range can be improved by Transfiguration*
Note4. A visual upon cast will indicate the Horcrux holder. A visual and timer above the Dark Lord will indicate the immortality duration.
Note4. If cast on Imperiused units, the Horcrux will be destroyed once the Imperius Curse duration expires

- Removes 35/30/25/20/15/10% of max hp based on lvl of Defense
- Lasts 5/6/7/8/9/10 seconds based on lvl of Defense

Magics combination unlock: [ZZ] (Protective/Defense + Protective/Defense)

Intro:

Not quite true to the books, but I think is pretty good adaptation. Essentially Dazzle’s Shadow Grave, but with the potential of having a lengthy duration. However, there is the added constraint that the Dark Lord has to plant the Horcrux in a nearby ally, unlike the instant Shadow Grave, which makes it useless if you’re ganked while alone. If you are in lane, then you may have a chance to cast it (if not permasilenced/stunned); similarly, having summons/illusions such as your Basilisk will be useful. If circumstances call for it, you can even cast it on Imperiused units, although the immortality won’t last the full duration.

Pros:

- immortality
- long duration
- can’t be purged/dispelled

Cons:

- low cast range
- high manacost
- high cooldown
- costs hp to cast
- needs a nearby ally
- countered when Horcrux holder dies

Type: Active

Targeting: Instant

Hotkey: D

A potent protective power. The Dark Lord immediately conjures an impenetrable spherical shield around himself, preventing attackers from approaching close to him. The shield’s magical properties allow it to deflect the next spell or ranged attack, and if applicable, rebound that same attack/spell upon the originator. The shield lasts for a max duration based upon the Protective Magics, or until it deflects an attack/spell. Cooldown is improved by levelling the Conjurative Magics.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	75	5-30 sec	N/A	200	1.25-2.5 sec	Deflects and rebounds next incoming magical/physical unfriendly instance

Note1. will deflect all attacks and spells (AOE/targeted etc), but will only rebound targeted spells/attacks by re-directing its target as the originator
Note2. Can be purged/dispelled
Note3. Will deflect and rebound a rebounded Avade Kedavra Curse (see skill for details)

- Has a 30/25/20/15/10/5 sec cooldown dependent on lvl of Transfiguration
- Has a maximum duration of 1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.25/2.5 sec dependent on lvl of Defense

Magics combination unlock: [ZX] (Protective/Defense + Conjurative/Transfiguration)

Intro:

Protego is obviously the Shield Charm from the books, and is none for its basic defense mechanism of deflecting and rebounding spells, as reflected in the description of the skill.

This has the possibility of being either really unbalanced, or completely useless. Think of this as one “instance” of Lanaya’s Refraction: it blocks the next “instance” of any incoming unfriendly assault (attack/spell) against the Dark Lord. If the said assault is a targeted spell, it will additionally have its target modified to its attacker/caster, and would thus “rebound” back onto the originator of the attacker/caster.

Thus, its very effective against single-target slow missiles such as VS/Leoric stun, as you have time to respond to it. Other targeted spells, such as Finger of Death, can be blocked and rebounded, however due to the Dark Lord’s casting time (0.4), these spells cannot be blocked by “reflexes” as such. As the Shield only blocks one instance, it is rendered useless by DoT such as Acid Spray, Rot etc, so players must be selective and intuitive in their use of the ability. But then, with max Transfiguration levels, a 5 sec cooldown can see some truly amazing results when used properly, or wasted mana when used poorly.

Also note the 200 radius barrier: this means melee units cannot physically “get in range” of the Dark Lord in order to attack: thus, if they have no ranged assault mechanism, they cannot attack him for the total duration of the Shield. Comes in handy against Lycan

Pros:

- low manacost
- potentially low cd
- pseudo-Linkens: able to block very powerful spells
- can turn the tides of battles when rebounding powerful abilities

Cons:

- easily countered by AOE DoT
- easily countered by normal ranged attacks

Type: Active

Targeting: Point

Hotkey: D

A convenient means of mass transportation for those unlearned in Apparation. The Dark Lord fashions a Portkey at a 100 unit location in front of him. All player-controlled units within 20 units of the Portkey who target it will instantly be teleported to a target destination (designated by the Dark Lord upon cast). Maximum distance for teleport destination and duration of Portkey are based on the Conjurative Magics. Portkey can be destroyed by 3 enemy player-controlled attacks.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	50	40 sec	100 + max distance	N/A	3 – 8 sec	Creates a Portkey

Note1. Allies further than 20 units from the Portkey will move towards it when they target it.
Note2. Teleportation is instant, and does dodge attacks and projectile spells.
Note3. Cannot select unpathable and unexplored terrain as the teleport destination. A visual visible to everybody indicates teleport destination.
Note4. Cast range is not improved by Transfiguration

- Max distance of 450/500/550/600/650/700 range based on level of Transfiguration
- Max duration of Portkey is 3/4/5/6/7/8 sec, dependent upon level of Transfiguration

Magics combination unlock: [XX] (Conjurative/Transfiguration + Conjurative/Transfiguration)

Intro:

Not really the same as the Portkey described in the books. Come to think of it, it resembles Floo powder more than an actual Portkey. Oh well...

Creates an object, which when targeted by allies really close to the rune (this will involve moving towards it), will instantly teleport them to a spot designated by the Dark Lord on cast. Essentially a portal. The actual teleport distance isn’t spectular, but it’s pretty much giving all your allies a short Blink Dagger when used properly, and this can be a very powerful asset.

Pros:

- excellent initiation device
- good for escaping
- decent teleport distance
- low manacost

Cons:

- high cooldown
- enemies can see teleport destination
- Portkey can be destroyed quite quickly

Type: Active

Targeting: Instant

Hotkey: D

The hideous Basilisk, petrifying its enemies with a deadly stare. The Dark Lord summons a powerful serpent to do his bidding. It embodies a number of ancient qualities, possessing 3 passive abilities. Health, armor and duration are based on Conjurative magics. Cooldown is improved by levelling the Manipulative Magics. Has a melee base attack damage of 30-36, BAT of 1.5 seconds, 800/800 sight range, 300 movement speed and gives 100 gold bounty.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	100	30 - 80 sec	N/A	N/A	30 – 55 sec	Summons the Basilisk

Note1. Has three passive abilities: Petrifying Stare, Unclottable Venom and Parseltongue
Note2. Is considered an Ancient Unit, and cannot be converted

- Cooldown is 80/70/60/50/40/30 sec, dependent on level of Charms
- Health is 500/600/700/800/900/1000 hp dependent upon level of Transfiguration
- Armor is 5/6/7/8/9/10 dependent upon the level of Transfiguration
- Duration is 30/35/40/45/50/55 sec dependent upon the level of Transfiguration

Magics combination unlock: [XC] (Conjurative/Transfiguration + Manipulative/Charms)

Type: Active

Targeting: Passive

Hotkey: None

Slows all speed properties of enemies when both they and the Basilisk are facing each other; can only affect units up to 700 units away, and is based upon the Manipulative Magics. Slow lasts for 2.5 sec.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	2.5 sec	Slows enemies

- Slows by 10/15/20/25/30/35% based on level of Charms

Intro:

The fearsome monster of Slytherin, capable of petrifying his enemies with a single look.

This is a unique summon, having three different passive abilities. Before you scream imba, note that the passives are designed to be counter-productive with each other, meaning that you don’t (really) gain the effects at the same time. Petrifying Stare can be thought of as Medusa’s Stone Gaze without the purge, and as an added constraint, requiring the Basilisk to be facing in the same direction. This is particularly useful against pushing, semi-decent when escaping and if something is being focused. You can essentially bring teamfights to its knees with the all-round slow (AS/MS/turn rate etc etc), but this requires both enemies and Basilisk to face each other: not a frequent occurrence. However, with good micro, you can achieve a permanent slow. Unclottable Venom is an additive passive dps: the more attacks, the more damage it deals per sec. This requires the Basilisk to constantly attack the same target: obviously, this can be counter-productive with Petrifying Stare. But if enough stacks are racked up, it can deal formidable damage. Parseltongue makes the Dark Lord an excellent rune-controller early/mid-game, as he can send the serpent to retrieve runes for him. The downside is that the rune/item will be dropped when attacked, and so careful manoeuvring is essential to abuse this. The ability to carry items can be useful early, if a chicken was not purchased, or when items such as Gem of True Sight are dropped.

Pros:

- quite tank
- long duration
- aids last-hit early game
- useful for scouting/runing/ferrying items
- powerful AOE slow
- potentially strong dps
- low manacost
- cannot be converted
- synergy with Horcrux

Cons:

- melee
- low MS
- slow AS
- low base damage
- highly vulnerable to physical and magical attack

Type: Active

Targeting: Point

Hotkey: D

An insidious incendiary invocation of infinite proportion. The Dark Lord conjures up a pillar of flame, which after a 1.1 sec delay, transforms into a malicious and uncontrollable Fire Sprite. The Sprite latches onto and attacks an enemy unit every 0.5 sec, dealing physical damage and burning mana. Only affects one unit per attack, and target selection is based on a priority order: untouched hero > untouched creep > lowest hp hero > lowest hp creep, where an untouched unit has not been previously affected by the Sprite. The Sprite’s attack potency increases with every new unit it attacks. Max number of attacks on a single target is based on the Aggressive Magics, while max duration and max manaburn/attack is based on the Conjurative Magics.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	250	45 sec	600-750*	400**	7 – 12 sec	Summons the Fire Sprite

Note1. Starting damage on each attack is 50; starting manaburn is 25. The dmg/manaburn both increase by 5 for every new unit attacked.
Note2. **Latch range
Note3. Cast range can be improved by Transfiguration*
Note4. If there is not valid target on any of its attacks, the Sprite will be destroyed
Note5. Cannot attack magic immune/ethereal/invisible units

- Max attacks: 3/4/5/6/7/8 based on level of the Dark Arts
- Max manaburn/attack is 30/40/50/60/70/80 based on level of Transfiguration
- Duration of 7/8/9/10/11/12 sec based on level of Transfiguration

Magics combination unlock: [XV] (Conjurative/Transfiguration + Aggressive/Dark Arts)

The book was a little ambiguous on what Fiendfyre did, so I hope you like my interpretation. This looks very similar to Mystic Snake, but I assure you, it was not based off it.

After a 1.1 sec creation delay (the pillar of flame), a Fire Sprite is created. Upon creation, it will seek a target every 0.5 seconds within its 400 latch range to attack; target selection is described above. For every new unit it attacks, the burn/dmg increases by 5. For example, if there is a hero and 5 creeps, it will first attack the hero, cycle through all the creeps, and then if possible return to the initial hero: this assumes that each target is within latch range. When it returns to the hero, it will deal 75 dmg (50 + 5x5) and burn 50 mana (25 + 5x5) per attack, for a maximum limit of attacks. Once it has exhausted all its attacks, it will return to the creeps. If a new unit arrives within latch range, regardless of the Sprite’s current victim, it will attack that new unit. If there is no valid target to attack, the Sprite will expire.

Thus, the Sprite is very strong both in large teamfights w/ creeps, as well as in ganking pairs or trios of heroes. However, due to the target selection and short latch range, it can be easily countered as described in the Cons section.

Pros:

- very strong
- potentially deal lots of damage quickly
- potentially burn lots of mana quickly
- good casting range
- can be difficult to prevent (see cons however)

Cons:

- very high manacost
- high cooldown
- countered easily by many items/abilities (blink/invis/Force/Ghost/BKB etc)
- countered by organised positioning

Type: Active

Targeting: Enemy hero

Hotkey: D

A charm of the most total mental manipulation. The Dark Lord forces his will upon a hapless foe through the Imperius Curse, gaining temporary full control of the target. However, the hero’s active hero and item abilities are disabled, and unable to be cast by the Dark Lord. In addition, strong-minded foes may be able to resist the effects, allowing them to reduce the duration of the Curse by 2x(current lvl)% of its maximum duration. The maximum duration of the curse is based upon the Manipulative Magics.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	225	60 sec	300-450*	N/A	Depends on hero level and max duration	Takes control of an enemy hero

Note1. Upon cast, the target will be considered an allied unit, and is able to attack and be attacked by the Dark Lord’s enemies.
Note2. For example, a lvl 10 hero will reduce the max duration by 2x10=20%
Note3. Both hero and item active abilities are disabled.
Note4. Cast range can be improved by Transfiguration*
Note5. Meepo-clones/illusions/summons controlled by victim are not brought under the Dark Lord’s control

- Maximum duration control for 2.5/3/3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds dependent on lvl of Charms

Magics combination unlock: [CC] (Manipulative/Charms + Manipulative/Charms)

Intro:

Exactly as how the book depicts this spell: control over a person, yet able to be thrown off by more experienced enemies, who can control their mind from manipulative mind magics such as Legilimency.

This is a broken concept put into a more balanced form. Temporarily taking control of an enemy hero looks retarded. That’s why I’ve added all sorts of constraints, such as the low cast range (300), and the level-based duration reduction. This means the effectiveness of the spell decreases the more levelled (and hence powerful) a hero becomes, especially for carries/dpsers, but since they become more powerful as they level, the overall effect neatly balances out.

There’s so many uses of the spell, apart from the obvious backstabbing of enemies by their former ally-turned betrayer. Abuse the duration to put the hero out of position (such as in tower-fountain-ambush range). Make the hero chew its former allies damage, such as uncontrollable AOEs like Midnight Pulse, Diabolic Edict, Haunt, Meteor, Macropyre etc. Turn a 5v5 teambattle into 6v4. Make “bouncing” spells (Chain Frost/Casks) more effective etc.

Pros:

- near-full control of an enemy hero
- endless possibilities (as described above)

Cons:

- low cast range
- high manacost
- longest cd of all skills
- effectiveness compromised as game drags on

Type: Active

Targeting: Enemy unit

Hotkey: D

The Dark Lord’s signature move. The Dark Lord issues forth a deadly bolt of green light at a target foe. If the target is below a certain health threshold, as determined by the Aggressive Magics, it will instantly die. Targets having either higher health or a positive status buff will not die, but have all positive buffs removed. Furthermore, casting the curse on a (positive) buffed hero will rebound the curse back onto the Dark Lord, potentially him if he himself is below the health threshold.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	175	35 sec	550-700*	N/A	N/A	Instantly kills low-hp units, or dispels positive buffs

Note1. Note: if an enemy hero/self has hp lower than that of the required health threshold, it will instantly be killed by the Dark Lord
Note2. On a rebounding curse against the Dark Lord, the Shield Charm (Protego) will deflect it, and will rebound it back again onto the original target.
Note3. Item status buffs do not rebound the Killing Curse.
Note4. Cast range can be improved by Transfiguration*

- Instantly kills if target/self has lower than 15/18/21/24/27/30% of its max hp based on the level of the Dark Arts.

Magics combination unlock: [VV] (Aggressive/Dark Arts + Aggressive/Dark Arts)

Intro:

This is an interesting variant of what would otherwise be an imba concept. The spell concept is inspired, but not completely accurate to the books. However, the buff-rebound concept is directly taken from the book. The epitome of the Dark Arts.

Basically, think of it like Axe’s ultimate, except based on %life rather than an constant threshold. If the target has no hero buffs (non-item), and has less than 15/18/21/24/27/30% of their max hp, they die. Simple. If they either have a high hp or a positive buff, the Curse will instead remove any positive buffs; if there were buffs on the target, the Curse will additionally rebound onto the Dark Lord. Similarly, if the Dark Lord has less than 15/18/21/24/27/30% max hp, he will die. Now, there’s an interesting interaction with the Shield Charm (Protego): if the Killing Curse rebounds onto the Dark Lord WHILE PROTEGO IS ACTIVE, it will be re-rebounded back onto the initial victim. So, the victim can be hit by the Curse twice: this is crucial in the possible scenario when the victim has low hp but is wearing a buff – upon cast, Avada Kedavra will dispel that buff and rebound onto the Dark Lord, but will rebound back onto that victim due to Protego and kill him.

So, the spell does either one (or both) of two things: either one-shot low hp heroes, or purge positive buffs.

Pros:

- instantly kills low-hp heroes
- dispels buffs
- can do both if done correctly

Cons:

- high manacost
- quite high cooldown
- dispel/kill functions can be unreliable (in performing the one you want)

Ahah so here it is.
I would lower the number of attack to destroy portus... jugger totem dies in one only, and this one last for less time and is quite more gamebreaking and it can be useful from a safe distance anyway. This would nerf the escape part which is quite strong now.
Eitherway the mechanisms looks good.
Passive are quite weak imo.
If you compare it to invoke, not even considering the stats, only charms and dark art are decent.
Protection is negligible, and transfiguration is not so good. I would change protection, or double it, and increase range as well.

Required attacks nerfed from 5 to 3

That's because they're not like Invoker's reagents. The Magics are not like his orbs at all: they provide permanent passive bonuses, not active ones. You benefit from them regardless of which Magics are currently summoned, as explained in the Hero Mech.

I hope I get as many comments are your Vold. suggestion prompted :P

Avenar · 03-09-2012, 03:11 PM

Great work. Love the skills (especially Horcrux and Avada Kedavra). Like the skill descriptions too. Speaking about balance is (and will be ever) beyond my competence.

Some minor mistakes I noticed (there might be more, the text is so huge):
Sight range is missing.
Horcrux's range should be written down just as you did with HP cost and duration.
Portus's 1st note has the content of 2nd and 3rd note.

Maybe other's are scared of the amount of text

Excellent. T-up.

Thanks Avenar for the mistake pick-ups: they're fixed now. About Horcrux cast range, its base is 250, and can be improved by Transfiguration to 400: hope that clarifies things.

And I would've thought that putting everything into a concise tab-form would reduce the walls of text, breaking everything into bite-size pieces :O But fom past experience with my Elementalist idea, ppl barely read anything anyway, and therefore cannot comment because they don't get the hero.

lexxy157 · 03-12-2012, 04:09 PM

I have to admit, you're very good, explaining like that.
Have to comment about hotkeys. Dont you think Z, X, C, V, Q and D + hotkeys that are used regularly such as A and S are difficult. I mean, Voldermolt needs to quickly change between spells in his duels, so your hotkeys need to give the player the ease to execute this.

Q
_____D
__Z X C V

Wouldnt it be easier if it was something like:

_____D F
__Z X C V

_____D
__Z X C V B

-where all keys are nearer to the bottom, or also preferably,

Q W E R
_____D F

- where all keys are nearer to the top, allowing better access to the F1 and group hotkeys (for Voldermolt and Nagini) for better micro. Copying invoker slightly, I know, but may be useful if you want to permaslow enemies with the snake while frying your enemies asses with your black magic.

Nice icons, too. T-up

MathsDebator · 03-13-2012, 10:08 AM

^^ Do notice that you never have to use Q (which is hotkey for levelling Determine, not actually using it). Therefore, it's still:

__D
ZXCV

With that configuration, its quite easy to instinctively determine abilities. The best reflex ability is Protego, which is just ZXD, or finger 4-3-2.

Good skills and I think pretty balanced
But instead of "100,000,000 physical damage" on Avada Kedavra, why don't it just say instantly killed

PIELIKEI · 03-18-2012, 10:23 PM

Haha... throw avada kedavra at specter: no dispersion? and does not dispel negative buffs? throw this at fatal bonds... ultra kill?

Also... culling blade is coded to remove ALL buffs... this will not help
