I am Lucky Eightcoins of Kun-Lai Summit. Grummles are peaceful people who transport goods. We are not fighters. Bad fortune for Grummles to end up in the Nexus. It is good I brought my smelliest Luckydo! The smellier the luck the better. It is a hard thing to ask, but can you be a friend to Grummles? Without your help many Grummles will die in this place. What is worse, their packages will go undelivered. Fortune frowns on a grummlepack undelivered. Good fortune to those who help Grummles! Above: Lucky Eightcoins, his Dirty Yak, and Kota Kon.
Lucky Eightcoins is a ranged specialist that excels at pushing lanes and applying map-wide lane pressure. The central aspect of his gameplay revolves around his mount ability, the Burlap Trail, a connected web of trails he must build to provide himself with faster movement and a means to escape. In addition his trait, Luckydo, can be activated to augment his basic abilities, much like Kael'Thas' Verdant Spheres. This forces the Lucky Eightcoins player to make decisions constantly throughout the game on when to increase their lane pressure, their team-fighting capabilities, or when to expand their network of trails. Above: Lucky Eightcoins on the Burlap Trail. Note the trail is visible on the minimap. Only the Lucky Eightcoins player can see the Burlap Trail.

I've suddenly had the urge to leave a post in this concept because it is AWESOME!
I have to admit though that Kafa Brew feels kinda underpowered. It could also increase attack speed in addition to movement speed when used in an ally, or doing otherwise if cast on an enemy.
Kafa Brew is meant to be used to give an ally a quick burst of speed to chase/run, or to cause an enemy hero to overextend. It's duration is so short that they don't have time to change their direction. I feel like its short cooldown makes up for its lack of "power".
It's meant to provide two things: a quick burst of speed for you or your allies to chase/run, or to cause an enemy that's moving towards your team to overextend themselves and then slow them. The duration is so short that they don't have time to react and correct their course. Perhaps it should be 150% speed for 1 second with the level 20 upgrade being more though.
I have to agree. 150% movement speed for 1 second seems too short. You target would've wasted 0.5-1 second to realize he has the buff and starts running. I think 2-2.5 seconds would be a more reasonable duration. Also, got a picture of a packbearer?
IMO this Ult is not meant to be cast on allies (only in critical moments), but to cast on an enemy, let say Thrall that is on the way to dive on you in Tower range now you give him this Ult, he comes in (because of the 150% maybe way more far than he should) and is than slowed by 30 sec for 3 seconds giving you a chance to escape or turn around and kill him while he eats the tower shots. btw i think your lv 20 talent should give this Ultimate the Hunters Mark effect.
Of course, if a Thrall is chasing you that means he thinks he can kill you... The 150% speed buff will get him right on top of you (even without windfury), and then he'll slowly make his way out of the fort's range- The 150% increase more than balances out for a 30% decrease for 3 seconds.
Basically, if your enemy is running towards you, there's a reason for it- you don't want to give them a speed buff. And a good player will use this to their advantage, getting into a better position where the slow will be less meaningful. To be honest, I think a base root (or ~70% slow) would work better, and the level 20 upgrade could be a stun.
That's exactly right. It can be cast on allies to help them run/chase if you need it, but it's mostly meant to catch an enemy who is moving in towards your team and force them to overextend. The duration HAS to be short or else they would be able to correct themselves and use the speed boost to back out. The way it is now they're moving in, suddenly they run themselves into the middle of your team, and then they're slowed. Could be hard to actually catch someone at the right moment to do this, but that's why it has such a short CD.
Oh my bad. I didn't understand it right. I thought if cast on an enemy it only gets slowed and doesn't get the speed boost. if that's the case it justifies the duration.
