Heroes of the Storm Build Guides
MANIPULATED DOUBT (D)- i would make it last less time, 12 sec is too oppressive even for small debuff (6 sec is more in line), and i think maybe make its active trigger a cd reduction effect per charge rather than just point and click debuff (like reduce cd by 0.1 sec and return 1 mana per charge). if im understanding it correctly the 1% debuff is applied every time a dot deals damage and thats why its just 1%.
SHADOW REFLECTION (E)- it a problem it mirrors the Hero's Attacks, imagine a tracer with 170 damage per aa... and considering your trait, some heroes will allo you to stack it too easily (again tracer). so maybe you should rethink about the ability entirely, and make it summon a shade with its own aa speed that targets the same target the ally does.
ARMAGEDDON (R)- seems really lackluster, maybe replace it with infernal? it can still work the same but summon a controllable infernal that deals aoe damage around it and proc your trait.
but great job overall!
Shadow Reflection indeed would be very problematic for Heroes that have high attack speed, so I decided to change the ability to work similary to Zagara's Hunter Killer, dealing X damage per second over the duration.Shadow Reflection will still mirror procentage of original Hero, however it will be changed to reflect 40% of current health instead of maximum health.
As for Armageddon, this ability became somewhat iconic to Kil'jaeden and I wouldn't really want to remove it, but I reveret it back to it's original iteration from early versions of the concept, when it worked similary to Diablo's Apocalypse.
(To balanced it, you can make this ult only usable when there is at least one enemy hero within melee distance of KJ).
There's a reason we don't have any heroes that increase cooldowns or mana costs of their enemies. It prevents a hero from playing how they were intended to be played, without actually providing a direct counter to it. Plus there are a good amount of heroes that don't use mana, so this trait would be meaningless
Why not just make it so that enemies in that threshold of between 20% and 70% health increase your basic ability damage? Why not something simply like that that has clear counterplay and helps the hero instead of hidnering others abilities to play their desired hero the way they wish to play.
The trait shouldn't take over every minion, as that is too strong. It would make more sense to do like, the first 3 minions within range, instead of all.
Also, the E you gave him feels more like an ULT than an ability.
I would perhaps change it to just give the enemy a bit of Damage over time. Stick a shadowy reflection to the targeted enemy hero and have mirror the damage that hero does to an enemy by 50%, have it last for like 4 seconds instead of 14, but give it a lower cooldown. So they have to pick their fights wisely.
Other than that, I really dig the kit you built
