I've decided to take a unique spin on Maiev's kit, keeping the.. General feel of the Warden from Warcraft III, minus Shadow Strike, and adding a few of my own traits that I believe fit Maiev well. Without further ado: Maiev Shadowsong, Melee Multiclass(Warrior|Assassin), Leader of the Wardens, and Jailer of Illidan.
You'll find she's naturally good at fighting Illidan, for.. Obvious reasons. (^_^)
Active; The Hunt is On. Maiev can, at the beginning of the game, mark an enemy hero. While within a radius slightly smaller than Tassadar's Oracle, she can see a footprint trail leading to them. While within sight range, she gains 20% movement speed(reduced to 10% extra while mounted) when moving towards them. While within Fan of Knives range(roughly 1/3 of Vision Range), they are revealed. This mark cannot be changed after it is placed on an enemy hero.
(Yes, this ability is inspired. Looking for feedback on whether it shoud be 'cannot be changed at all' or 'can be replaced when the target dies'.)
