Leeroy's design is focused entirely around one thing; charging into the middle of a fight and doing as much disruption and damage as possible. leeroy thrives in the thick of a fight, as his death will mean little due to his trait. The main idea behind leeroy is to be as much of a nuisance as possible before his health bar runs out, and then to get the hell out after pals for life triggers.
The fine tuning of the numbers is, as with any custom character, just a ballpark figure. Some of his talents and abilities will have to be tweaked, I'm sure, though I don't think any of them are too overpowered, as I did take them from other similar warriors like Tyrael, Muradin, and Stitches, with tweaks here and there as I saw fit.
Combat Trait
1
Pals for Life!
Activateable Trait: Cooldown 90 seconds.
Activate to designate a nearby ally as your pal for 20 seconds. If Leeroy dies while an ally is his pal, he will be revived at the ally's location with 15% HP in 3 seconds and silenced for 5 seconds, so long as that ally is alive. This puts Pals for Life on its full cooldown.
If Leeroy is able to revive, the enemy team will receive 0 XP for killing him.
