Heroes of the Storm Build Guides
D- Really cool. Love it. Something I can totally see as feasible and unique
Q and W- Both of them are neat, I like the Q especially because pulling to the center is the reward but the damage comes from the outside, meaning enemies have to choose between standing in the middle to avoid it entirely or just suck it up and run through. Sort of an Eye of the storm feel.
I have 2 minor quips though. The first is they seem out of order. The Q and W feels like they should be reversed in button order since the Q is more akin to Zombie Wall, and Warp Rift.
The second is the slow on the W is kinda insanely high. Probius's slow is only with Warp Rift is only 20% and it has a delay on even spawning (Assuming yours doesnt since it didnt say that) and heroes like Jaina who is entirely designed around slows only has a 25% baseline slow. Arthas has a 40% slow but it has to ramp up over time. Assuming that the slow is more of a secondary benefit compared to the actual damage the vines do, I'd only suggest nerfing the slow %.
E- Not entirely a new concept but its a good one nonetheless
R1- Basically an AoE wide tassadar E? I can get behind that, cooldown seems a tad high for the short duration though. A longer duration would make it more for aggresive openings and a shorter CD would make it more defensive orientated. Not sure which you'd prefer but I would imagine one of those 2. or a combination
R2- This is the only part I dont really like and reason is mainly because of the sense of me thinking concepts should be realistic. And to this end, blizzard refuses to give non summoner heroes, abilities that summon non hero units that deal damage and clutter the screen. Its a conscious design decision they make. And 14 units is a LOT of screen clutters.
Look back at recent heroes. The last hero who summons non hero units that can attack things is probius, who is a summoner. Before that was Xul, another summoner. Before that was Azmodan and Anubarak, both summoners. The only exception so far is Jaina with her welly but thats more thematic and moreso just to apply her trait continuously rather than the unit itself (which even then, is still just one unit).
Aside from that, its a great concept overall, good job, got my upvote
On the topic of his second ult, when i was originally making Cenarius, i always thought back to one of my favorite Warcraft 3 campaign missions where you have to kill him. I always loved how he was able to summon the forest itself to come and attack invaders, so i wanted to incorporate that idea into his kit. I will admit i was not aware that Blizzard was fully against trying to make a mass summoner hero, so this was my mistake. I will work on a new ultimate that i think may work in his kit. I hope to see your thoughts on it when I get an update out!
Thank you very much!!!!
