The Slowpoke Deadsnail

A hero that actually benefits from not buying boots. That's the concept. A situational hero best against or with heroes can slow others. The strength of the hero is that he can deal damage based on the enemies speed and can also slow down enemies to the same speed as he is. Coming close to him is deadly but because people can kite him very easily he needs his ultimate and or a dagger. He is very powerfull in close combat but his slowness is what makes him dependent on teleportation scrolls, dagger, force staff or other measures that can make moving around the map easier.

Deadsnail is the chieftain of the Stoneslow tribe. A tribe reknowned for their heavy physique. Some say that one swing of a Stoneslow warrior can knock out even the hardest of opponents. Their strength however comes at the cost of laziness and slow movement. The warchief of the tribe is the only Stoneslow that has the ability to instill paralyzing fear into anyone who dares to come close enough to him. After a terrible loss against archers, the Warchief Deadsnail learnt how to use earth magic to drag anyone into their doom.

Type: Active Targeting: No target Hotkey: Q

Stomps the ground cracking it apart and sending rocks flying around him. Deals damage based on the speed of the enemies around.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	60	18		270		Deals 400-target's movement speed as damage.
2	65	14		280		Deals 450-target's movement speed as damage
3	70	10		290		Deals 500-target's movement speed as damage.
4	75	6		300		Deals 550-target's movement speed as damage.

• Deals magical damage
• Mini-stuns targets.
• Ensnare type spells will be ignored, the damage will be just like the damage without the skill.

Type: Active Targeting: No target Hotkey: W

Deadsnail sacrifices his speed to gain bonus damage and resistance.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	50	50			10	Reduces speed by 20% and gives 15% damage and damage reduction.
2	50	45			12	Reduces speed by 30% and gives 30% damage and damage reduction.
3	50	40			14	Reduces speed by 40% and gives 45% damage and damage reduction.
4	50	35			16	Reduces speed by 50% and gives 60% damage and damage reduction.

• Reduces both move and attack speed.
• Damage reduction is both physical and magical.

Type: Passive Targeting: AoE Hotkey:

Any enemy that dares to come close to Deadsnail will suffer the torment of feeling as heavy as the Slowpoke.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1				240	0,5	Reduces nearby unit's MS to be the same as Deadsnail's.
2				260	0,7	Reduces nearby unit's MS to be the same as Deadsnail's.
3				280	0,9	Reduces nearby unit's MS to be the same as Deadsnail's.
4				300	1,1	Reduces nearby unit's MS to be the same as Deadsnail's.

• Will reduce their overall speed, meaning that slow effects will reduce from that amount.
• Eg. Deadsnail has 300 movement speed, enemy hero has 290 MS + 65 from boots and +10% from an effect. If he comes close to Deadsnail he will have 300 base+boots MS and +10% from that effect.
• If target has a slow effect on him the aura will reduce his speed from boots and thus make the slow even worse for him.
• Duration is the duration of the slow after target exits aura.

Type: Active Targeting: No target Hotkey: R

Deadsnail summons the stonechains to grapple targets and drag them to him. Each chain grabs one random target every 2 seconds.

	Mana	Cooldown	Range	AoE	Duration	Effects
1	100	80		500	8	Summons 2 chains. Deals 50 damage to grappled targets.
2	150	80		650	12	Summons 3 chains. Deals 100 damage to grappled targets.
3	200	80		800	16	Summons 4 chains. Deals 150 damage to grappled targets.

• Deals magical damage.
• Mini-stuns people while dragging them.
• AoE is the area the chains find their targets.
• Chains don't target enemies inside 280 AoE.
• Draggs enemies to 120 distance of Deadsnail.
• Chains travel at 900 speed both towards and backwards.
• AGHA - Adds +2 chains and chains attack enemies inside 280 AoE if there are no targets outside that AoE.

+
If you don't buy boots you should have a steady slow to 300 MS which makes the stomp deal a steady 250 damage.
+
You are slow to have slow. Yeah, umm logic here XD...So yes you need a way to get close to people to slow them. Ultimate drags them close to you. ??? Profit!!!
++
Slow everything you catch with the ultimate to 150 MS and watch em cry...
+++
So you slow everything you catch to 150 MS and deal a 400 damage nuke to everybody around you. What do you need more?!

Another funny movement-based hero! Really like that model with added visual effects! Yet what are the damage types of the first and ultimate skill?

[Flame13]

^ Magical of course...I'm typing it in notes right now...
Thx for feedback. I took the gif (model) from the Unused warcraft 3 models compilation thread...

Don't think I've ever seen it in there...perfect for you second spell's buff indicator.

[Flame13]

I think he is pretty weak in what matters stats, base damage and attack speed. Also he can't buy boots so I am unsure about his item choices. His hp is huge but apart from that he lacks much...the skillset somehow compensates it because you will be damn annoying but still...

[uo111]

All he needs is blink dagger and forcestaff tbh. His current ultimate is imbalanced as well as the 60% damage reduction. That's 30 armor right there and am's spell shield all in one skill.

With hardly a drawback seeing as how the negative as is counteracted by the increased damage.

But the ultimate is the most ridiculous. It's like Pudge hooks every 1.5 seconds. Sure you can't choose but all you have to do is position urself right early and it's fine. Late Game with an Agh's the whole enemy team will be hugging him and won't be able to do a single thing about it, they can't run(they move at 120 ms) and they get dragged back every 1.5 seconds. And they can't kill him with spells or attacks.

Just blink in with ult on, and hold position as the enemy team dies around you.

[Flame13]

^ 150 MS, they aren't dragged back if they are in 280 AoE, you are big slow shit and their attack speed isn't slowed while yours is...you practically deal 0 damage exept first skill and from time to time you attack once...not that you have 1,9 BAT very low agi and 50% AS reduction...you probably attack once every 2,5 seconds with items...worse than tiny and you don't even get that much damage increase...

Yes the armor/resistance is good but you will need it because people will focus you...also range of hook isn't that big...Pudge has bigger and hugging this guy isn't bad you can attack him and kill him relatively fast...you don't have stuns only ministun on first skill...which is also your damage source...your stats are shit and the drag only deals big damage if you have aghanim's...

Even if you dominate the field they will outrun you and push towers down while you barely move...you are shit in defense unless you spend a lot on tps...you move with 300 MS all the game...you can't gank effectively without ultimate...blink dagger helps and force staff too but it is more than 4000 gold to get that...it is a situational hero...any real pusher can outsmart him....


PS: Imagine storm spirit vs this poor guy...he would be dead as hell...the ultimate is only thing that can keep him alive...

[Flame13]

bump? pls

[moon_strike]

Hmmm...
Ultimate skill like my hero in cth 22
check if u not believe it
pull all enemy at radius around self every x second . Last x second
but it's fine . It's my favourite =)

[Flame13]

^ Well my ultimate is kind of the filler...the utility skill...the main skill, his signature, the concept itself is the third skill, the SLOW DOWN

[Flame13]

dammit no feedback?

[Flame13]

^ Well reducing everybody to your own speed is not really something anybody suggested AFAIK

[NecroGiant]

Hmm.. very very umm interesting.
B.S: nice... Stoneslow lol.
Skill 1: How many sec. does the ministun mean. By the way, great.
Skill 2: Never saw that before.
Skill 3: Counter to Bara... finally a hero that hates Bara.
Ulti: Nice disable.
Overall: you should decrease base movement (Techies has 270, this guy should have e.g. 285), but nice. Like it!

Also, I like the hero name and the race name (thumbsup)

[Flame13]

^ If base MS is decreased he will be freaking OP ) it means a buff to him

Thx for feedback.
Yeah I think Bara will kind of hate him too.
Ministun is around 0,1 sec.

I mean people might hate it, and may find the playstyle too awkward.

[sonalheng]

60% damage reduction is unkillable. Remember this is percentage not a fixed value like stout shield. It is really imba. Plz reduce it. Even 50% is imba given his super high strength gain by level. Nerf it to 40% or 30%.

[Flame13]

^ You know that he is easily ignored because he will become fucking slow and you rather attack somebody else and keep away from him until others die and then you can kill him.


PS: It is 60% not 100%. You will be resistant but not immune. While you will be so slow that you will barely move. Sure if you are close to somebody then you slow them too but you can't chase them because you move at same speed. 1 stun and they escape the slow and you will be worthless again. Ranged heroes will love this guy.

[Cruncher]

Personally, I like this hero.

His first skill by itself will end up doing about 200 damage to a hero with boots.
His third skill will increase that damage to 250.
Add in his second skill, and now its a solid 400 damage, however, at the cost of his auto-attacks. And that damage resistance will help keep him alive while he moves, like a dead snail...
And his Ultimate pulls foes in to get them in range of his slow and nuke.

Overall, he's a hero based around bringing people close. Good people to have with him are Magnataur and Dark Seer, as they can send people right into Deadsnail.

2 things I think should be different is that the AOE on his 1st and 3rd moves should be increased to 320 and 300 respectively. Because Slardar's stun is in 350 and Brewmaster's slow is within 400. 280 is a bit hard to hit with, even with a slow.
Also, maybe increase the delay between chains to 2 or 2.5 seconds, because otherwise those chains are flying really fast.

[twoeyedyum]

550 magical damage (75 mana, 5 sec cd) against targets hit by Frost Bite, Pit of Malice, Naga's Enshare, Meepo's Enshare, single and mass entangles. Pit's Pit (pun intended) would be the most annoying, when paired with this guy's skills.
