Rework/Rebalance Concept
The main focus of the Rework is being put more focus on the TRAITS, and also regulating Cho'Gall for adjustment of 4% per level, instead of 4.5% (Cho) and 5% (Gall). "Now" his base power has been slightly increased (Cho's HP and Gall's damage), but the power in ENDGAME can be slightly reduced, now has Mana Resource shared to both players to help to balance him, but now there are new talents that release new possibilities of gameplay and abilities combos.
The skills remain the same, but there has mana cost and an added function of Rune Blast, now it also explodes energy around Cho'Gall.
With TRAITS having more importance and less Cooldown, we can have a greater interaction of the players with each other. And now players should focus even more on their strategy of being defensive or offensive at the right time and management the Mana thats are shared.
I see that the current Cho'Gall is in good place, but may need a little BUFF to make up for the last nerf in HP.
The only certainty I have is that Cho'gall and other unique characters deserve more love by the DEVs! Thx.
GREETINGS
Thanks for the attention and I hope you have understood my concept/rework and also my English, I'm so sorry, this is not my main language. :)
i think you added some really good additions! cc counter is something that many heroes lack especially chugall since he is 2 heroes...
just about his trait changes- i think life regen is better with ogre hide and mana regen is better with ogre rage. and also a question- does chu has a passive 25% cc reduction and than 50% with ogre hide? if so i believe its better to remove the passive one, as 50% on base its a bit too much (considering he has many talents to counter cc).
also his aa range with ogre rage overlaps with his heroic upgrade C'Thun's Gift, so its better to think of a different upgrade or bonus.
Thx 4 feedback! In the case of AA with Ogre Rage, this increase only the New GALL's Basic Attack(3.5 to 5.5), Ogre Rage don't affect Cho.
The life regen is in Cho passive because in live server the CHo has the talent tier 3: Cho's Enraged Regeneration
While Gall's Ogre Rage is active, Cho's Health Regeneration is increased by 200%.
Therefore Cho's trait has Mana Regen and Gall's trait has health regen, but now I put the HP regen in Cho and Mana Regen in Gall traits.
I'll adjust the cc counter. Thx! ;)
