A protoss Brightwing is a cool idea but your design could benefit from opportunities for actively contributing to a match, skills that don't need allies to be shielded to be effective. A lot of support have control abilities that stop enemies or otherwise inhibit them, like Brightwing's Polymorph or Uther's Hammer of Justice, that also serve to give them an active role in a fight. You might think about adding something like that.


I see your point. I felt that because many of the supports are built that way, this would be a bring in something different. So the idea was to have a support that was purely defensive with a few talents to provide some control. I am more concerned that his defensive capabilities are too strong, although the trade off is that he won't be able to provide that control or any significant damage. In order to prevent him from being too easy of a Hero (easier than even LiLi), I intended his ranges to be short (maybe slightly larger than Uther's Divine Storm w/o lv 20 talent). This will force him to focus on his position to provide the maximum benefit of his trait and abilities, hopefully avoiding a hero that just stands in the middle of a team fight.
