Warfield is a ranged warrior that excels at combat in maps with choke-points where players are likely to be grouped up in small areas. His arm, lost in battle, has been replaced with a Marauder class K12 "Punisher" Grenade Launcher - - the source of his trait. Warfield's basic attacks deal a small amount of percentage based damage to the primary target, causing this bonus damage to splash to other nearby enemies. Heroes that try to remain near their team's tank for safety will soon regret it. Alternatively allied heroes near Warfield benefit from a protective aura. A skilled tactician and battlefield commander, he is able to initiate fights with a ranged slow, or shut down engages by enemy heroes by deploying a barrier to block their movement.

Hey, how'd you get those custom icons for your abilities? I've been trying to figure out a way to get them to work, but I've been having issues.
Also, I like the concept in general, though I think you should bump up the damage of his Trait to at least 2%, and increase the splash damage to 4% of the target's maximum health. If you attack a Valla early game, you'll be doing like 12 splash damage as it is now
