Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: C'Thun

Combat Trait

D - The Eye of C'Thun

Instead of controlling C'Thun himself, you control the Eye of C'Thun. The Eye passively moves 15% faster than other heroes and its Basic Attacks slow enemies by 20% for 1.25 seconds.

Primary Abilities

Q - Dark Glare

Zap target enemy with a fixated gaze, dealing medium damage and, after 1.5 seconds, dealing medium damage to an enemy hero near the target.

6 sec cooldown. Around the same range as Malfurion's Regrowth.

W - Claw Tentacle

Spawn a giant tentacle with a medium amount of health, that slams down on nearby enemies for high damage. The tentacle lasts until destroyed. Up to 3 tentacles can be up at a time.

18 sec cooldown. Global range (requires vision in the area).

E - Ground Rupture

Desecrate a small area, dealing low damage to enemies in it every second. For every time it damages an enemy, the area increases in damage and radius by 5%, up to 100%. Lasts 5 seconds.

12 sec cooldown. Around the same range as Kael'thas' Flamestrike.

Secondary Abilities

1 - I See You

Requires Tier 1 Talent

Activate to reveal enemy heroes in a large radius around the Eye and in a medium radius around the tentacles for 6 seconds.

60 sec cooldown. Self-cast.

2 - Death is Close

Requires Tier 6 Talent

Activate to deal 10% of a hero's maximum health and heal yourself for 50% of the damage dealt. If the target is under 50% health, heal yourself for three times as much and halve the cooldown of this ability.

60 sec cooldown. Same range as the Blood for Blood talent.

2 - Gift of the Old Gods

Requires Tier 6 Talent

Activate to transform a nearby friendly minion wave into a swarm of Qiraji Warriors, increasing their health and damage done by 100%. This effect's cooldown is reduced by 2 seconds every time an enemy minion dies near you.

180 sec cooldown. Global range.

3 - Maddening Whispers

Requires Tier 7 Talent

Activate to, after a 1.5 second channel, stun an enemy hero for 3 seconds.

70 sec cooldown. Global range.

Heroic Abilities

R1 - Emerge

Fake the Eye's death and, after 2 seconds, call upon your true form wherever the Eye is. You cannot move in this form, but you have massively increased health, a passive, giant Ground Rupture around you, you slow enemies around you by 20% and your abilities' cooldowns are halved. If you dies in this form, the Eye respawns at the Hall of Storms after 3 seconds. Lasts 30 seconds.

120 sec cooldown. Self-cast.

R2 - Descent into Madness

Reduce the vision radius of all enemy heroes by 50%, then further reduce their vision radius over 3.5 seconds, up to 90%. After that, all enemy heroes instantly take massive damage and regain their vision.

85 sec cooldown. Global range.

The Old Gods bundle is funny. I like that. Now what exactly is the extent of the massive damage of Descent into Madness? Is it % damage or normal set amount of damage? Cause more then likely that would one shot or near one shot most characters. I would not want to be playing Murky (for example) have my vision slowly reducing, and suddenly dying. That would just tick me off. Love the idea of it though

The only low-health hero I see the heroic being a real issue would be Abathur, so Descent into Madness is ideally a set amount of damage, equal to around 80% of Abathur's base health, so maybe like 550ish base damage. Not exactly the required amount to kill him, but possible with something like a Tyrande Sentinel or a sneaky Genji to follow up. The idea of Descent into Madness is not to oneshot half the cast, but instead to either pick off weakened enemies after a teamfight, or get the upper hand in terms of vision while going into one.
