Li-Ming (WiP)

The Arcane Prodigy

Li-Ming, the Arcane Prodigy, is designed to be an ability-focused assassin. Her rapidly regenerating supply of Arcane Power and devastatingly destructive abilities allow her to lay waste to her enemies. Of course, despite this power, Li-Ming is at a disadvantage when it comes to her ability to escape from bad situation, with only Diamond Skin's shield at her disposal. With this in mind, Li-Ming is best suited for hit-and-run tactics where she can deliver decisive blows and then swiftly retreat to allow Power Hungry to regenerate her Arcane Power.

Life: 720 (+110)
Life Regen: 1.539 (+0.27)

Li-Ming probably still needs some work. I based her stats and ability on other Heroes, but unless she was actually implemented into the game and tested there, I can't exactly be sure they'd work. Hopefully you'll enjoy it nonetheless. If you have any comments, questions, or feedback, feel free to give it below.

Not looking into numbers (as the basis has greatly changed) I could say, that your hero doesn't bring anything fresh to the game:
Her trait is similar to Morale's in exception that this one restores mana (Arcane Energy) and the second one restores health (probably even the same percentage)
Disintegrate is almost the same as Diablo's Lightning Breath (with exception in damage)
Arcane Orb is just a classic skillshot
Diamond Skin is just another shield with certain health
Arcane Torrent is the same as Cho'Gall's Shadow Bolt Volley
Tassadar also has Archon heroic and they are very similar.
Summarizing you need to add something fresh, that no other hero have (ofc these in Hots, not these in heroesfire), i.e. vector-targeted spell, certain combo or unseen mechanic.
If you'll update the kit, I'll have a look at the rest. I wish you good luck!

I do appreciate your honesty. I'm relatively new to Heroes of the Storm, but I do see what you mean. Even if I do do these for fun, I will look into reworking the abilities, or even completely overhauling the character. Thanks again.

No problem, if with my help your heroes will be as famous as furynator's or kid-karma's, so let it be. Waiting for rework. :P
