Dr. Krastinov

The Mad "Doctor"

Melee assassin hero with fast attack speed and a ranged attack for poke. Benefits from constantly being on the offensive.

Dr. Krastinov does not use a resource and is instead cooldown dependant (similar to Illidan)

Combat Trait

1
Blood! Blood! Blood!
Krastinov's offensive abilities put a bleed on the target, causing them to bleed for 5% of their health over 5 seconds.

Primary Abilities

1
Bloody Cleaver (Q)
Cooldown: 10 seconds

Krastinov hurls one of his cleavers in the targeted direction, dealing 140 damage to the first enemy it hits. However Krastinov's attack speed is reduced by 50% as he attacks with only one cleaver now until he either retrieves the missing cleaver or 10 seconds have passed.
2
Gaping Wound (W)
Cooldown: 15 seconds

Krastinov strikes the targeted hero, leaving a gaping wound that makes it hurt to move. Causing 50 damage every second while they are moving. Remaining still causes no damage.
3
Clotting
Cooldown: 20 seconds

Krastinov heals himself for 50% of all damage taken within the last 5 seconds

Heroic Abilities

1
Open Heart Surgery
Cooldown: 80 seconds

Krastinov delivers a brutal strike with both cleavers to the target. Dealing 80% of the target's health in damage over 10 seconds. If the target is healed by a healing ability or by the Healing Fountain, the effect is dispelled. Lifesteal does not dispell the effect
2
Blood Frenzy
Cooldown: 70 seconds

Krastinov's desire to see his enemies bleed drives him into a frenzy for 15 seconds. Causing his basic attacks to apply Blood! Blood! Blood!, increasing his attack speed by 20% and making his abilities deal 10% more damage

Personal Thoughts on this Hero

I think that this Hero would be an interesting and fun addition to the roster. He is a very underappreciated character in WoW that not many people remember. Fans of the old Scholomance dungeon will remember him quite fondly. With WoW Classic releasing, this would be a perfect classic character to add to the roster.

It is quite obvious that his main counters would be healers, or anyone that has a casted healing ability in general. Krastinov would also counter other Krastinovs because of this fact. It helps to always be attacking something to dish out damage and keep bleeds up. Clotting allows a lower risk for diving in to secure a kill. If by chance you find yourself unable to be doing something (As in returning to a lane from the base or travelling long distances without combat) quite a lot, you should take the Always Pumping talent so your next opener will be quite devastating.

Fighting this character can challenge healers to prove they really know what they are doing and put their skills to the test if he takes Open Heart Surgery. The second they see a massive drop in their ally's health, they should immediately heal their ally. If not well...that healer may have just fed Krastinov another delicious kill. His bloody rampages of death can easily be shutdown by any skilled healer who knows what they are doing.

The Doctor is In, Donate My Body To Science, Stat!, and Operating Assistant can make Krastinov a valuable ally in team fights. If you find yourself not too confident in your abilities in a team fight, take Donate My Body To Science so you can benefit your team even if you die.

If you are in a team fight against a Krastinov, depending on their build it can be quite tricky. If they do not have Donate My Body To Science, go ahead and focus them down as hard as you can. If they are using it. Focus down the people who would benefit the most from Krastinov's death

Possible Skins

Undead Krastinov - His undead appearance which can be seen as a rare spawning enemy in the current version of the Scholomance dungeon in WoW.

Surgeon Krastinov - A skin for Krastinov that looks like an actual surgeon wearing surgeon scrubs and an operating mask.
