IMPORTANT INFO: (Seen as this kinda isn't a conventional lore character from WoW but a Fan-Machinima related one; The Bio will be kinda big - seen as people can't just see this guy's name and get what he is all about. Unless you know the works of Oxhorn; in which you are an awesome person and can skip ahead to abilities.)
Bio:
Associate Professor Evil (Aka Mr.Evil or just Evil) was an Instructor at The Evil Alchemist University who wanted nothing more then to do the most evil of deeds in order to accomplish multiple thing. He want's to become a force of evil with incomparable powers which in turn would make him become recognized by the Head-council at University in the hopes of becoming a Dean.
In his journey to this goal, Evil ended up doing a couple of deeds he considered to be evil but which ironically only ended up being helpful more than anything.
When he was concocting a potion that would give him immense powers; a single citizen of Azeroth who kept chasing him from city to city, begging him for money - Caused it to snap for Evil. Crafting his potion, he cast it upon his pet crab Barnaby which in turn went on a rampage, slaying all beggars in the city of Orgrimmar.
Up next; Evil went looking for the Scythe of Elune which was said to harbor unspeakable powers. But in order to get it, he needed to ransack and slay a bunch of Ogres seen as the Scythe was lost - but it was believed that a tribe of Ogres had gotten their hands on it. Searching for the Scythe for multiple hours lead to nothing as Evil could never slay an Ogre himself seen as the place was crawling with people who hunter the Ogres for their gold. Yet once a Night Elf who had been annoying Evil since he arrived obtained the Scythe, Evil was quick to steal it from him and empty it's powers into Barnaby, causing his loyal pet crab to once again go on a rampage, slaying all of the gold farmers in the local region.
After doing these deeds, Evil sought out the Head-council at The Evil Alchemist University - Only for him to be rejected by them. They considered his deeds not evil enough and demoted him to a Graduate student while making his previous pupil; Quintus - the Associate Professor in his place. On his last leg, Evil decided to become Dean by evil force and sought to obtain The Gnarled Claw of Morhaime; which also most likely held immense powers beyond reasonable measures. After gathering up a party to seek out the Claw as this task was no single-person job - Evil and his company ventured on and finally found the creature holding the Claw, but before he could pick it up - a member of his party tok it away from him, effectively binding it to his soul, making it impossible for Evil to use it's powers. This caused it to snap for Evil - sending him into a mad frenzy which apparently awakened some evil powers that has been sleeping inside him for an unknown period of time.
This turned Evil into Lieutenant Colonel Virtue - an alter-ego that Evil used to first execute his party member; only to go on and warn the world of Azeroth that he would "defend" it by slaying those that would do harm or otherwise: annoy. After this event, Evil went back to The Evil Alchemist University and seemingly accepted his lot in life; only to at night adapt his alter-ego and venture out in the world to do his new job: defending the world from all annoying people.
As the Nexus called upon Evil, he looked upon it as a chance to begin a-new. Using his old title as Associate Professor; he stepped up to the challenges of the Nexus - finding new companions, new nuisances that had to be taken care of all the while being able to use his alter-ego to become a force which was not to be reckoned with. Evil was also not the only one to be called too the Nexus; his pet crab Barnaby was summoned as well.
Mr.Evil takes up the role as a Multiclass : Support / Assassin hero. He uses his Trait (D) to swap between his Associate Professor persona and his Lieutenant Colonel Virtue persona. While being Mr.Evil: he can heal and support allies by using potions and concoctions created with his skills learned at the The Evil Alchemist University - While being Lieutenant Colonel Virtue, he dishes out damage and gains some crowd controlling effects.

Skin suggestions
This is how Evil looks in his regular atire:
And this is his appearance as Lieutenant Colonel Virtue:
So his usual appearance is Light Brown / Black / Red and Blue / White / Black.
For alternate version's I'd like ones that reflects the "Healer" and "Damage" aspect. So one that has him more green looking (For healing) and one that has him more red looking (For Damage)
Another cool skin I'd like for him to have is one where he kind of has a Plaguedoctor WoW style look as Evil and then something twisted from that as Lieutenant Colonel Virtue
These two images are the closes WoW references I can show
Other concepts and more
I will list here once more of my concepts is made. Some of these concepts may also look familiar but that is because I am also "Rexx" whom has posted some hero concepts on the EU and US side forums for Heroes of the Storm.
This Evil was started the 19.05.2018 and was finished the 21.05.2018.
10/10 because Oxhorn (scratch that, 11/10). But onto the concept itself...
A stance changing healer/assassin is kind of weird because you can't rely on his healing to be present, so he'd be a secondary support at best and a wonky assassin at worst. That being said, I think you did a pretty good job of making both forms unique and useful; each would be good as its own hero. Plus Barnaby's role is both great thematically and offers some interesting abilities.
I don't really have any suggestions for changes though, so I'll just say that it's a solid and interesting concept that I like, with bonus points for the fact that it's an Oxhorn character.
I actually did not receive a notification about this comment so sorry for my late response:
Thanks for the feedback - While I initially did think of how it would be somewhat wonky to have a character in this way: I still just think it would be better than what the current "staple" of a Multiclass Class is - Varian is the only one we got and I consider him to be an EXTREMELY poorly executed multiclass hero, I just feel like Multiclass heroes should expand more about the term "multiclass" and should by those means, have more options and maybe even a higher skill ceiling than most other heroes.
My latest Brigitte concept was a different take on the multiclass hero: As where Mr.Evil here has both options but kind of locks himself down to one he wished to focus on: Brigitte was one I did where you always NEED to do a bit of both roles while having the option to better specialize on one over the other.
It just turns my head how Blizzard still has not released more multiclass heroes and I feel like they should become somewhat similar to rather my Mr Evil here or Brigitte in terms of "Have two options and select one" or "You need to do a bit of both but select your way to heavily focus on one"
But again; Thanks so much for the feedback - it always helps and allows for me to keep more things in mind whenever I jump onto making my next hero concept.
