One important question that I couldn't really tell by reading the concept, can the totems be targeted and destroyed. I kinda hope they are able to be destroyed but at the same time not, as the effects are kinda underwhelming if the enemy can just destroy them. But at the same time, if they aren't destroyable, then she doesn't really posses that much of a counter as she can go in and out of fights and just drop totems down.
Her cooldowns are very loooong too, Deckard has a cooldown reduction passive too, but his cooldowns are not nearly as high as Magatha's.
Alsooo, Capicator totem, I reallyyyyy like it, the 2.5 sec stun is amazing, but if it can't be destroyed, then it's overpowered. It's like a mini ult aswell.
I like the suggestion, I can possibly tweak her design so that some of the totems are destructible and some not, possibly making capacitor totem destructible in a similar way to Murky's puffer-fish, but at the same time I didn't like the idea of her other basic totems to be destroyed
Love the changes! adding a 5.5% scaling instead of the usual 4% was also a nice addition as it forces the enemy to do more if they want to destroy a totem in the late game.
