The Treasure Goblin

Treasure Goblin is considered just a pestering greedy trickster and that's indeed who he is. Walking through the portals, collecting gold and shining trinkets, he finally found his way into Nexus - a brand new world full of interesting goods that only wait to be put in the goblin's bottomless bag and be taken away to the secret Treasure. Hide you gold and gems, heroes, as they won't remain unnoticed.

This is really cool. If you asked me if a Treasure goblin could be an entire hero, I would say no. But I know blizzard and they can make anything a hero. And this is probally similiar to what it would be if they did.

First note is the most important one. You gotta give him a proper name! The probe hero is probius, the murloc hero is murky. Whats the treasure goblins name????

Secondly, number tuning aside, the only thing I dont like at all is his second ult. I dont feel like an automatically bribe refill is balanced in terms of it straight up doesnt have counterplay. Theres literally nothing you can do about it, if you decide to just use it right at a camp and then instantly spend the coins.

The as for a tuning suggestion, remove the capture speed bonus of using your trait, and just up the passive bonus of holding coins. Let that be the risk vs reward, once you've bribed an enemy camp and secure it, thats the reward. The + movement speed is kinda pointless unless you bbribed the camp with the enemy 2 feet near you which case you'll probally die anyway or simply escape using your E.

Otherwise with only one basic ability that actually does anything in team fights in terms of being offensive, he wouldnt get play outside of goofing around in quick match. Treasure goblins are fast. Having a really fast walking goblin bouncing everywhere would at least let you up his basic attack more so he has some viable way to contribute to team fights instead of just pressing Q every 9 seconds then reaping the reward for others actually securing kills.

If you decided to go this route, slow the attack speed, up the damage, lower the health (his health is already large for most non warriors as is)

Thanks! I just modified it a bit. So:
-I gave him a proper name: Chortler. I think it should work well with a Treasure Goblin, heh.
-What was his 2nd ult, now is an optional activated talent player may take at level 20. It was replaced with a Rain of Gold, which can make him a bit more useful for his team and... well, he may cause quite a chaos with it, I believe.
-The speed bonus for capturing mercenary camp is there so he could make a small combo with his ult. Once there is some enemy doing a mercenary camp, he may run there, teleport the enemy Hero with his 1st ult, claim the camp and then run away really fast before that hero or some other enemy may actually stop him. It's also there to make it possible to get back to the lane as soon as possible to get more gold. Aaaand you won't need to use E for that - it may be kept for more dangerous situations.
-With his new ult he may cause some more chaos. His auto attack is much bigge than this of Murky or Probius, so he may be actually be helpful in some teamfights.
-I lowered his health a tiny bit. It may still look high, but actually he has less health than people's favorite goblin (1899) or Xul (1976)... won't even mention Azmodan.
-To make him more useful, Odious Collector talent now provides bonus versus buildings + added Vicious Tricks talent that makes his attacks more powerful.

Hope you'll like him even more now.

I really like the concept. Really simple and straightforward abilities, seems like a great beginning character for people still getting acquainted to the game. I think the Mount ability is a bit too underpowered, and maybe you should buff it just a bit (say up to around 7 to 10%) and make the Bribe ability a bit more expensive and with a higher cooldown, but also allow non-boss mercenaries to be bribed.

He starts with only 5% bonus, because thanks to his trait, he may also get +16% to moving speed. That already gives him 21%. I think making it higher would be a bit OP. There is this talent on level 7 ("Really Really Fast") which gives him additional +5% and I'm not sure if that's not too much.
Anyway, because you're not the first one who's asking about bribing mercenaries, I added talent on level 13 that allows him to use 3 stacks and bribe one mercenary. Note that this merc would also get slightly buffed due to how the ability works. I believe it shouldn't be there, in basic version of the ability, as many players could consider this a bit too annoying. Anyway, thanks for your comment!

I feel that Bribe Enemies is slightly underpowered, being restricted to enemy minions. I think it would work better if you could also bribe captured mercenaries.

I agree, I was skeptical for bribe being an entire ability and even still not do to much.

Maybe using ~10 Gold Pieces, you could bribe an enemy hero, reducing their ability power by 10%? He could supply some nice counterplay against ability driven supports like LiLi or Kharazim.

I believe it would feel weird to bribe enemy hero. I buffed the skill though. The mana cost is lower now, minions are slightly buffed (may be buffed even more with talents) and it is Goblin's team who get experience for killing the minion if it dies while the effect is still there. Also, if killed during bribe, it will drop a gold piece.
