[Hero-Int-Scourge]Shiva the Matriarch

[Kape Puro]

INTRODUCTION



Shiva
Changelog

*Changed name and title due to being the same with a similar suggestion.

Once a powerful matriarch of the blue dragon flight, she met her demise against the undead armies of the scourge. Raised by the Lich king himself, Shiva became part of the frostbrood. Her ability to manipulate vast amounts of arcane magic in her previous life, gave her the unique power to augment her frozen attacks with the smoldering fires of arcane energy. With her wings she takes flight and sends a howling gust of freezing wind to blow away her enemies and to spread a deadly rot that creeps into the freezing bodies of her enemies. Under the iron will of the Lich king she will show the sentinels the true chill of death.

Strength - 20 + 1.75
Agility - 17 + 1.45
Intelligence -21 + 2.45 (main attribute)

Learns Cinderchill, Cinderglacier, Howling Blast and Glacier Rot.

Attack range of 600
Base attack time 1.7
Movement speed of 305

It is an autocast and it's cool down prevents you to use it on every attack while auto attacking stationary targets.

Cinderglacier

Explanation: Shiva musters her icy breath with and empowers it with magic that purges the ground of it's heat and using it to fuel the arcane energy scorching anything on the surface. The spell is released on her next attack or spell cast. Slows enemies by 10% for every second it remains in her mouth. durations, damage and aoe is improved for every level.

Level 1 - 3 seconds cap, lasts 2-6 seconds and deals 40 damage per second in a 200-300 aoe
Level 2 - 4 seconds cap, lasts 2-8 seconds and deals 45 damage per second in a 200-400 aoe
Level 3 - 5 seconds cap, lasts 2-10 seconds and deals 50 damage per second in a 200-500 aoe
Level 4 - 6 seconds cap, lasts 2-12 seconds and deals 55 damage per second in a 200-600 aoe

In Depth Explanation

Duration is 2-12 seconds
Casting Range will vary
Casting Time is instant (has no casting animation)
damage type is magical

Cooldown: 30 seconds
Mana Cost: 155/165/175/185



Note:

When you activate this skill it will start a countdown that charges up the skill the longer it remains in her mouth. the caps on each level of the skill DOES NOT mean that after reaching that much time charging up, it will release the spell. It will stay in her mouth until her next attack or spell cast and will land on the area where the mouse was clicked. Depending on how long it was mustered the duration of the spell on the ground will vary and any enemy that enters the area will be affected depending on how long he stays in that area. Affected enemies will still suffer the full effect of Glacier Rot even after leaving the aoe of Cinderglacier. Basically its like scorched earth but very different.

Dragon's Gust

Explanation: Shiva takes flight creating a strong gust of freezing wind that pushes back everything in front of her and also destroying trees. It deals damage for every unit that collides with each other and stuns them for a brief moment.

Level 1 - takes flight for 3 seconds and deals 50 damage for every unit that collides with each other.
Level 2 - takes flight for 4 seconds and deals 75 damage for every unit that collides with each other.
Level 3 - takes flight for 5 seconds and deals 100 damage for every unit that collides with each other.
Level 4 - takes flight for 6 seconds and deals 125 damage for every unit that collides with each other.

In Depth Explanation

Duration is .75 second stun
Casting Range 600/650/700/750
Casting Time is instant(no casting animation)
damage type is physical

Cooldown: 45 seconds
Mana Cost: 150/170/190/210



Note:

When this skill is cast, Shiva will become a flying unit for the duration and at the same time all units infront of her will be pushed to the area where the spell was targeted. Allied units will be affected by this skill but will not take damage. On a tactical note this can be usefull as an escape
mechanism and gank initiator. It will also push units down a cliff but not over it.

__________________________________________________


Glacier Rot

Explanation: Enemies affected by Shiva's spells will suffer Glacier rot. It slows and deals damage over time that becomes more potent the longer the enemy is under its effect. Non-hero units that die under the effect of Glacier Rot will raise frozen undead that explodes and deals damage when killed. Duration is reset each time a spell hits the affected unit. Lasts 10 seconds on all levels.

Level 1 - Intitally slows by 1%(+1%) and deals 1(+1) damage per second. Raises 1 Frozen undead.
Level 2 - Initially slows by 2%(+2%) and deals 2(+2) damage per second. Riases 2 Frozen undead.
Level 3 - Initially slows by 3%(+3%) and deals 3(+3) damage per second. Raises 3 Frozen undead.

In Depth Explanation

Duration is 10 seconds
Casting Range is N/A
Casting Time is instant N/A

Cooldown: N/A
Mana Cost: N/A


[font=Arial]
Note:

Each time you hit an enemy with a skill, you afflict them with Glacier Rot causing them to be slowed and take damage over time that in itself grows more potent the longger it stays on the enemy. Also each time you cast a new spell on the enemy, you reset the duration but not the damage and slow it has already accumulated. When an enemy dies while under the effect of Glacier Rot it will summon Frozen undead.
Mathcraft: Glacier Rot follows a formula that look like 1+2+3+4+5+6+...+n.
Balance: Glacier Rot has no damage and slow cap. This is because maintaining it on a target for prolonged periods of time would require considerable amount of skill.

More updates to come....

[manafusion]

cinderchill - as an autocast, it eats alot of mp... can you umm... tell me why?

cinderglacier - give your value increment calculation please. makes it easier for others to review your hero.

howling blast - name doesnt really match the skill description. try arctic gusts (?) of Flight of the Queen.

glacier rot - max slow and max DPS must be stated.


Overall - interesting concept. though having 5% slow should be removed as you can increase your damage even more, though i understand the reason why you put it in. either way, your choice.

T-UP to this hero. (crying because i am giving t-up to an enemy using the same model as my suggestion.)

[Shin^Ra]

u state that in " Howling Blast " she takes flight.....

isn't that dragon s'pose to be a flying unit in the 1st place..??

or is it something like " Bat Rider " ??

----------------------------------

isn't the ulti too imba, i mean, it can literally stop a hero from moving ( unless i read the spell description wrong xD )

i think u should remove the ( +3 ) attribute and put in a constant. coz Cinderchill is already there.

and also...instead of AOE, make Cinderchill target oriented. or it will be exactly like DK's elder dragon form @ 16.

---------------------------------------

on a more personal basis....please make it a " HE " instead of a " SHE "

[manafusion]

umm. yes, it IS possible to cause them to change mode. hero's attack is also possible to attack air (i played around with the wc3 map editor so i found out about this)

I knew you were the first to react to this hero.

Cinderchill eats alot of mp because of balance issues.

Lol flight of the . Arctic Gust was in my mind but sounded overrated. I'll try a new name later.

I'm going to place more clarifications very soon. I just got tired of the whole process of making this hero from scratch in 1 day and I was itching to click post new thread.

review as per requested

model - fits him
name - kinda overused
icons - ill give 8/10 on icons
theme - ok

skill 1 - decent, good for harassing. maybe higher the dps

skill 2 - wow, somewhat like jakiro skill, but is more different. original skill here and yo have my t-up. but needs more explanation and balancing. up to 12 second duration? with 10% slow per second duration on mouth? Thats up to 120% slow

skill 3 - so basically, its like jinzakk's firefly right? i personally dont understand this. maybe needs more explanation. manacost needs a nerf

skill 4 - again, numbers need nerf. it is somehow like zeus' passive. somewhat like indirect forced synergy. dps + adding summon is good. maybe razor ice's damage is 200. btw razor ice's damage type is?. Needs more balancing and explanation.

synergy - ill give 7.5/10 for now
theme - all skills fit the theme. 9/10
role - he is somewhat like aoe dpser/aoe caster 7/10

balancing - balancing is necessary

overall - more work is needed. balancing is necessary, but concept is good. 7.8/10

some more creativity on 3rd and ulti

By the way Sindragosa is a she.

Lol you misunderstand the second skill. it lasts 12 seconds on the ground and has a max of 60% slow. 6 seconds cap on the mouth means 10%*6=60%.

If you fully understand how the skill works you probably tell me to raise the mana cost even more.

I'm putting in more clarifications.

[manafusion]

skill 3 works like this:

skill is activated, lasting X seconds. During this time, hero's movement is considered flying. All units within XXX range of hero is pushed back XX distance and stunned by 0.75 seconds. All trees within XXX range of hero is destroyed.


btw, kape, i only posted into this thread just coincidentally as the first.

[Kape Puro]

I still need to know how to pud those little boxes with the hide button in them in my posts. I want to make my hero suggestions more presentable. I hate making wall of texts, it deters the readers and they will potentially misunderstand my explanations.
