Talents to Come!
This is my biggest concept yet and I'd like some feedback on what I have so far before moving forward. The idea behind Grom is the ability to be anything the team needs more specifically than Varian by choosing a trait at lvl 1, but still having Warrior or Assassin choices at lvl10 no matter the trait choice.
Abilities in this color only effect or are available to Blood Pact Grom. Talents for him would be for a burst damage based Assassin or a CC chaining Bruiser.
Abilities in this color only effect or are available to Iron Will Grom. Talents for him would be for a sustained damage Assassin or a main tank Warrior.
There would be multiple Talents at each tier available only to one trait or the other (2 of each usually, maybe 1 for each and a generic choice for either). I want to make this an interesting concept and will be sure to take time and listen to feedback on Talents or Abilities. Thanks in advance!
I really love this concept, the traits are both cool and offer two completely different play styles too, and you could certainly mix and mash the two ult choices to make some really diverse builds. I really like Wrath of Hellscream, there isn't an ability in game that increases overall slow / stun / roots, which makes it a neat idea. Can't wait to see the talents. Only thing i'd say is if you're a going for the Blood pact talent then the knockback on Q doesn't seem like the best idea if you're trying to kill them? Not too sure, maybe it could have something to do with doing more damage to them or something? Although on the other side, the knockback would be good if you flanked an enemy.
