Combat Trait

We require more minerals
Gain 10 Minerals from Takedowns and 2 Minerals from nearby Minions dying. Use the minerals to build structures or repair damaged forts. Minerals are lost on death but they reduce the respawn time by 1 second for for every 5 minerals in possession. Can hold a maximum of 100 minerals.
Primary Abilities
1
Hammerdrill
Powerful drill that does dramatic damage against enemy fortifications at the cost of 5 minerals / second. Can be used to significantly repair and rearm friendly fortifications with the same supply cost.

[Level 1] Scrap collector: If a building is destroyed while hammerdrill is used on it will return 10 minerals.
[Level 4] Neosteel Drill Head: Increase damage and repair rate by 20% at the cost of 7 minerals/second. [Level 7] Jackhammer:Improved percussion causes towers trepidation rendering them unable to fire while the drill is active on them.

2
Vespine Barrel Roll

Build Supply Depot
The hero can build a small supply depot at the cost of 30 minerals anywhere on the map paths. The depot can sustain 1000 damage before falling. Use it wisely to block paths, straighten fortifications or bottleneck own minions to gather a massive wave. Enemy Minions and Mercenaries will attack the depot in their path so it's a great way to delay an enemy push. The build time is 10 seconds and only 2 depots can exist simultaneously. This building can be salvaged using the Hammerdrill for 50% return of it's initial mineral cost.
Upgrade choices:
[Level 1] Predefined Schematics:Reduce supply depot building time by 50%.
[Level 13] It's a Trap! If destroyed the Supply depot explodes dealing AOE damage.

Thank you for reading. I pot together this for fun but hopefully it will get blizzard attention because THIS GAME NEED MORE SUPPORT HEROES.
Nice Concept. I like the mineral Mechanic dude.
1st skill is cool, tho its limited to buildings and structures. tho when used in conjunction with his third skill it really can annoy enemies with its lane delay tactics.
I like the overall idea but i think you need a talent or some other way to get minerals. All the abilities use minerals which means you need to rely on aa to gets your initial kills and minerals. Maybe change to the trait to allow you to toggle between mining minerals from enemy structures and damaging them? Sonya only has 2 abilities that use furry and it seems you are trying to do a similar type of thing with minerals.
