Brutalisk

Horrific Monstrosity

A terrifying beast that rules the battlefield by fear and brute strength.

Combat Trait

1
Horrifying Roar
Passive: Minion/Merc attack speed is halved when attacking the Brutalisk

Active: The Brutalisk unleashes an awesome roar, causing all NPCs to flee for several seconds (including hero-spawned enemy minions, with the exception of heroic minions like Water Elemental or Gargantuan, instead their attack and movement speed is reduced by 50% for half the normal duration)

Primary Abilities

1
Demanding Presence
Target an enemy. For a small duration you are auto-locked to that enemy, moving much quicker and auto attacking (pressing Q again will cancel this lock). If the enemy damages an allied hero while under attack from this ability, gain another free instant basic attack against them. If the target damages multiple enemies in one attack INCLUDING the Brutalisk, the free attack does not occur.

(If anyone has a better name for this, let me know)
2
Charge
The Brutalisk charges forward in a straight line, shoving aside and dazing/damaging any enemies in its path. Relatively short-range and short cooldown.
3
Unstoppable
For several seconds the Brutalisk becomes unstoppable and gains a health-shield (can be healed by normal means, basically an increase to maximum HP). Movement speed is reduced by 25% for the duration. This ability can be triggered while stunned.

Heroic Abilities

1
Acidic Blast
A large cone of acid erupts from the Brutalisk's mouth. Applying a light slow and heavy DoT to all enemies caught in its blast. Also creates a zone in the area which increases the Brutalisk's HP regen by 25%, and speed by 15%
2
Brutalize
For the duration, the Brutalisk grows larger and gains 50% more melee damage. Abilities are unusable and the Brutalisk gains 25% movement speed, and a 50% increase to maximum health. Basic attacks slow down enemies with a stacking 10% (up to 50%). Stacks remain until the target moves further than 3 units away from the brutalisk.

Tactics

The Brutalisk is all about 1v1 combat. His abilities allow him to close distances and punish enemies for engaging anyone but himself. His kit is also designed to help him escape from CC, although speed and escape factor little in his design. When the Brutalisk engages, he is probably staying in the fight until someone dies.
Against mages, the Brutalisk will be very powerful if they neglect his first ability. If jaina lands several AoE attacks against his friends... Bye bye Jaina.
While meant for 1v1 melee combat, the Brutalisks main attack is very slow. It packs a huge wallop, but has the slowest attack speed of any hero, meaning kiting and well timed stuns can wreak havoc on his DPS.
