I realize that this is (probably) a rough draft, but I do have one big question: Do the Blighthounds teleport to the target, or do they have to run?
They would have to run to the target, you could send the anywhere similiar to Lunara's wisp but its a targeted ability on an enemy hero so it does require vision.
