So, basically, you can choose trait just like Kharazim?
"Every 4 seconds a random nearby enemy is getting marked by 7 seconds."
You know that this is bad for HotS, right? Maybe you should just delete this or make it something like "Every 6 seconds your next Basic Attack marks a target for 4 seconds".
And yes, IMO, but -15 armor for 7 seconds is just too much for a Trait ability that costs nothing.
Same for an active part, -20 armor for 10 seconds is really wrong. This should make it so only you will deal bonus damage against marked target, imo. And nerf duration to 5 seconds.
Can't say anything about abilities, hope you'll make them Cooldown, damage and Manacost
Thanks for the reply, i didn't specify manacosts, exact damage numbers, attack speed, durations etc because i am not really good at balanceing and this concept has other purpose.
I wrote numbers like this so you understand that there are two targeds disarmored and third potentially.
Regardless of targets, the analyze trait always works and impacts. Because you can't always attack a target you want to disarmor (btw it says that heroes are prioritized)
Numbers can always be changed and balanced, that's what we have game-devs for.
About ability cooldowns - no. It's hero-specific feature that allows you to use three of the same ability or one of each by your decision. I thought that would be intresting on such hero. I should also specify talents with these, so you understand what do i mean. And again, cooldowns can be rebalanced, but not by me.
