Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: Choker

Combat Trait

Burrowed

You are burrowed. Enemies cannot target, slow and stun you, but you are violable to Area of Effect. You cannot auto attack.

You are not completly invisable, but enemies see a burrowing animation, like the ones from StarCraft2. That also means enemies can only harm you with Area of Effect Abilities, like Cleave or Precision Strike. Which also means that you have a relatively low health pool. But not so low that any Area of Effect Ability one-shots you. Not even Flamestrike ;-P

Primary Abilities

Form Changeling

10 seconds cooldown

Form a controlable changeling of the target friendly Hero at your location. If you cast "Form Changeling" on yourself, a random friendly Hero is formed. This Changeling has 30% Basic Attack damage and health of the target, but no Abilities. Deal double damage to non-heroic enemies. lasts 20 seconds. Only 1 Changeling can be up at a time

Infested Marines

12 seconds cooldown

Spawn 2 Infested Eggs, which can be destroyed with 3 Basic Attacks. After 2 seconds, an Infested Marine hatches from each Egg, that attacks enemies for 8 seconds.

Fungal Bomb

14 seconds cooldown

Leave a Fungal Bomb on the target location, that lasts for 40 seconds. Enemies who walk through this Bomb, are rooted for 1 second and take [damage] over 3 seconds.

Heroic Abilities

Blinding Fog

70 seconds cooldown

Spray gas around you for 4 seconds and leave a non-transparent Fog behind, that persists for 5 seconds. Enemies in the fog, have their attack range (ranged Basic Attacks and Abilites) reduced by 50% and their movement speed by 35%. You may move while spraying the gas.

It works so, that ranged Basic Attacks andÂ targetable Abilites and Skills have half of the normal range, skillshots travel only half the distance, etc.

Neural Parasite

90 seconds cooldown

Stretch out your stinger to target enemy Hero, infesting him with a Neural Parasite, causing him lose control of himself. The Player of the Hero has inverted controls and Basic Attacks and Abilities may hit wrong targets. lasts 4 seconds.

Inverted control means, that if you mouse click to move, the Hero moves in the opposite direction. Basic Attacks and Abilities hit friendly Heroes and minions.

Nice idea.

"Spawn 2 Infested Eggs, which can be destroyed with 3 Basic Attacks. After 2 seconds, an Infested Marine hatches from each Egg, that attacks enemies for 8 seconds." => It's seems very hard to destroy eggs. Time you see eggs and go to them PLUS time to do 3 basic attack is far more than 2s. Maybe reset the 2s cooldown after being auto attacked ? Or forgot the auto attack idea and put eggs with hp pool.

Talent seems good too.
