Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: Fenix

Primary Abilities

Scarab

Mana cost: 80 Cooldown: 12 Seconds

Launches a Scarab bomb which moves quickly across the ground, chasing the player’s mouse cursor. Explodes after 2 seconds, or when coming into contact with an enemy. Deals 100 (+25 per level) damage in a small area, and knocks enemies a short distance away from the blast.

Guardian Shield

Mana cost: 50 Cooldown: 10 Seconds

Projects Fenix’s Shields in a moderate radius around him for 3 seconds. Any damage dealt to friendly units and heroes within the radius will be dealt to Fenix’s Shields instead.

Psi Shockwave

Mana cost: 60 Cooldown: 15 Seconds

A shockwave emanates from Fenix, slowing enemies’ move speed by 20% for 3 seconds.

Heroic Abilities

Twin Phase Disruptors

Fenix equips new cannons on top of his Dragoon, permanently increasing his auto attack damage by 25%. This bonus is doubled against structures.

Hardened Shields

Mana cost: 100 Cooldown: 30 seconds

For 4 seconds, damage dealt to Fenix’s shields is reduced by 50%.

Special Mount

Shuttle

Mana cost: 0 Cooldown: 45 Seconds

Replaces Mount. Fenix enters a Protoss Shuttle which grants a 50% speed bonus and allows Fenix to fly over terrain and obstacles. After 4 seconds, or when Z is pressed again, Fenix will exit the Shuttle, which will leave. The Shuttle has a low amount of health and can be targeted by enemies; if it is destroyed while Fenix is inside, Fenix will exit and be stunned for 1.5 seconds.

Notes

Fenix is a popular hero suggestion (and I’m sure Blizzard is working on their own Fenix hero), but I couldn’t help but to write up my own. This version of Fenix stays in his Dragoon, and uses abilities based on a variety of Protoss units to protect his allies and disrupt the enemy team. I had to stretch a bit as Dragoons don't have any abilities of their own to base a hero off of, but I think the abilities I've come up with are reasonable and create an interesting hero.

I’m pretty sure the numbers would all have to be tweaked; currently if you built him right I think your entire team would become nigh-unkillable. Let me know what you think!

Sounds kinda fun, but not sure about his HS Heroic though, doesn't seem fun almost at all, press and ppl will take ages to attack you lol

Could do something a bit more interesting such as - IDK - shield battery maybe ?, so it's something like a - place it somewhere on the map and you can go back and recharge faster or sth like that.. I guess might make no sense what-so-ever if recharge of shields is fast when OOC, still - depends on how fast are the shields recharged I guess

And that's the part of the problem when making the hero be a Dragoon TBH - you lack one heroic which is iconic for the character and you have to "think of something else"

Won't go as far as "why hasn't Blizz put this in the game yet", but yah - a nice attempt I'd say, quite a bit of things that I love there :)
