Moam by Leohkiin

Moam is a powerful ranged Assassin, that specializes in facing against foes who rely on mana for their spells and abilities. He is capable of dealing high, consistent damage from a range with his Orb of Annihilation or create a screen of high burst damage with his Mana Fiends. He lacks the ability to mount however, so his mobility is low outside of the bursts of speed he is capable of gaining from Onyx Wings. Since Onyx Wings only lasts a few seconds, players should take advantage of it's ability to traverse terrain to flee across terran their foes cannot pass through to make quick get aways, or surprise them for an ambush.

Moams Talents allow him to specialize in many different ways. He can add extra durability and mobility by boosting his natural trait through talents such as Mana Barrier or Flight of Stone, allowing him to survive a bit longer in engagements or when focused. While Moam possesses no natural CC, some talents such as Frost Orbs, or Unstable Fiends add some disruption to his kit, or the player can choose to simply further increase his damage with several other options. Most Notably, players can choose to massively boost their burst damage and team fight potential with Detonate Mana, or increase their durability and sustainability through picking up Turn to Stone, and choosing a more cautious approach to team fights.

Moam partners well with allies that can lock down enemies for him to destroy, so warriors and supports such as Muradin and Uther with CC and sustain work well with him. Malfurion earns a special mention due to innervate synergizing well with Moams especially mana-hungry Kit. Moam plays best against enemies without hard CC or whom apply and rely on buffs and heal over time effects, as he can devour these for his own gain. His worst enemy is the same as his best friend, as enemies who can lock down, slow, and stun Moam will cause him to die quickly, as he relies on casting spells to generate shields through Mana Shield for his durability.
