Belial

Lord of Lies

Belial is a Ranged Specialist, a master of deceit

Difficulty: Very Hard

Idea design behind Belial is to be a a little of everything but not really great at one thing.In draft, hes a very wild card. Belial himself has decent abilities but is still very reliant on team composition. Unlike Abathur, Belial is 100% invested in his machinations, dying as a Deciever will also result in the death of Belial, so you dont want to just yolo it.


STATISTICS
1851 Health
1 Attacks per second
111 Damage

For comparison Nazeebo is
1704 Health
1.11 Attacks per second
92 damage


Additional Notes
-Belial uses mounts normally like Azmodan and Zagara
-Belial will always appear to be in his more docile form outside of deciever, but whenever casting an ability his "true" form will be quickly shown.

I've seen your 3 other Diablo concepts, and I think you'll find a way around this one. Those other concepts were strangely balanced and looked fun to play, so I have hope in this concept coming out great in the completed version, although it does look extremely confusing at first, maybe just a little clarification for a few more abilities.

Thank you, this one has proved quite tough. Im going to probably iterate his True form to be a more central part of his kit rather than a sort of a last ditch effort thing. I have to also think of what talents would be like, and thats where i feel like most of his "true form" value would come from. Perhaps having his deceiver duration/effectiveness empower his next True Form, meaning you have to kind of build it up before you let loose.

Horrible horrible design. His trait is godlike levels of broken just by itself, as his 'additional backup life' is stronger than most assassins. And his Q ability is just insane. Your pretty much giving him abathur's ultimate, and letting him be a secondary copy of any hero on your team or the enemy team... and if they kill said copy, he pops out in true form, which is ungodly powerful just by itself.

Theres no saving this design, its garbage.

I think you make a good point despite the overreaction. Ive been tweaking it around. The difference between him and abathurs clone is going 1 for 1 with abathurs clone is favorable for abathur, when you ultimate evolution you basically yolo and try your best for a kill regardless if you die with it, but going 1 for 1 with a deciever is the exact same as trading 1 for 1 because Belial should die with it.

I havent exactly figured out how i want his True form to work yet. I want it to be comparable to molten core but not as a failsafe. Right now yes its a bit overpowered, but I iterate pretty fast. Considering making him similiar to D.VA, where you revolves around "phases" between cloning people and using his True Form

Again, the entire point of his clones, unlike abathur is you fully invest in it. I also think i want to give "Cast aside" a cooldown aswell as a longer cast time. Locking down Belial in his deciever form should reward you with a kill the same as it does any hero, but I want to give him the chance to leave the vessel, which isnt exactly favorable because of his poor stats but still gives him a chance.

No. Just no. Copying an allied or enemy hero is not something that should ever be regulated to a non-heroic. The power of abathur's ultimate isnt that it can 'trade 1v1 freely'. The power of abathur's ultimate is that getting 2 of any allied hero is game changing just by itself. This Q, while it doesnt gain 10% extra ability power, is permament duration, and having a practical permament second copy of a single hero is game breaking. To name a few:
Diablo
Valla
Sylvanas
Lt.Morales
Genji
D.Va
Sgt.Hammer
Jaina
Tyrande
Uther

The list goes on. Many heroes who would be super strong to have a copy of even without their heroic or talents. And since this is the core of your belial's design, hes hot trash and should be trashed.
