Deckard Cain is a hero who focuses on study and storytelling to support his allies. Throughout the course of the game, Cain will improve himself by gathering knowledge of enemy heroes, and by sharing that knowledge with others he can periodically strengthen his whole team.
His initial stats are quite weak, but with each basic attack against an enemy hero he gathers "Knowledge" of that hero and will deal more damage to, and receive less damage from that hero. Visually, the 5 opposing heroes would each have a small portrait above Cain's health bar with a number indicating his current Knowledge level of that opponent.
Cain has powerful abilities, but they require him to be stationary to channel them. This leaves him extremely vulnerable to ganks and dives, especially early on in the game when he hasn't acquired Knowledge of his enemies to mitigate their damage. Interupts are also a major concern as they leave him out the mana cost and with his abiltiies on cooldown. It's essential for him to use his vision (Lay of the Land) to monitor and control dangerous access points and keep his positioning precise.
Base Stats-
Health: 1450
Mana: 500
ATK speed: 1.25
Damage: 80
Range: 5.5
P.S. It fit his kit best for him to be a ranged attacker so we'll say he throws books or something at his enemies.
