Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: Maghda

Primary Abilities

Swarm of Flies

Mana: 60
Cooldown: 12 seconds

Maghda summons a swarm of flies, dealing 45 (+12 per hero level) damage to units in a cone in front of her.

Belial’s Gift Bonus: In addition to dealing damage to enemies, Swarm of Flies will also heal Madhda and her allies in the cone for 85 (+16 per hero level) + 10% of the target’s missing health.

Soul Siphon

Mana: 50
Cooldown: 10 seconds

Maghda launches a maggot that creates a siphoning link between her and an ally or enemy for up to 3 seconds. Allied anchors gain 20% movement speed and enemy anchors slow movement speed by 20%. The link applies the same movement speed adjustment anchors to any ally or enemy it passes through for 3 seconds. The link breaks if the bonded target moves out of range.

Belial’s Gift Bonus: Strengthens the link to double the movement speed adjustment anchors and to apply an initial 0.75 second root on enemies (both primary and passed through).
*Maghda can use Soul Siphon on summoned Vessels of Chaos. Soul Siphon does not enhance Maghda’s movement speed.

Vessel of Chaos

Mana: 75
Cooldown: 15 seconds

Maghda summons a corrupted vessel at the target location for 5 seconds which is only attackable by her. The vessel will begin his ritual, shielding nearby allies for 3% of their maximum health every second. When the vessel is killed or when he naturally expires, he will sacrifice himself to shield the lowest health ally (prioritizing heroes) for 20% of their maximum health for 5 seconds.

Belial’s Gift Bonus: In addition to shielding allies, Vessel of Chaos will also surge demonic energy upon cast, dealing 70(+15 per hero level) damage in an area around him. Each attack on him will also deal 70(+15 per hero level) damage in an area around him.
*Vessels have 1 hp (unless talented) and are destroyed in a manner similar to destroying a Healing Ward

I'm... not fond of the "no trait, only one heroic" approach. It feels backwards in terms of HotS' design philosophy. Like you're trying to shoehorn a DotA/LoL/Smite character into the way HotS approaches leveling up and choice.

Further, there is no precedent for exclusive anti-synergy between tiers the way you did between Bottomless Potion of Shielding and Loyal Servant.
