Thank you so much for checking out my first Hero concept! I'm very proud of how everyone's favorite Space Moses turned out, and it was a ton of fun to make.

Most of it looks nice, but some critique.

Q seems boring and bland. I understand the secondary benefit of the trait heal, but aside from that its literally point and click "heal target for x" which we already have a lot of those in the game. Theres no extra caveat or something to game or improve individual skill or timing. Look at similiar heroes with that kind of Q.

Tyrande- Basic attacks reduce CD, ways to shine as an indivual whos properly attacking
Alexstrasza- More healing the higher your own health is. rewards being defensive and offers ways to game it for maximum healing
Malfurion- While its a HoT you can still game it by doing more healing than mediocre malfs by landing moonfires on enemies.

See where im getting at? It just needs something else.

Second note is more or less the same as the first, play making potential aside from being a heal bot is low. Look at every other support in game, they have something that really allows them to show off their prowess whether its well timed morales grenades, lucio boops, BW polymorphs, deckard roots, etc etc. Your W only reduces damage done, which is kinda ****. Most healers have that as a passive talent like deckard, alex, uther, etc etc. Thats not nearly enough baseline.

So in summary, add more playmaking potential that would show you off as a good velen whether its proactive or reactive, rather than one who just presses stuff off CD

Very nice concept so far and props for even designing pictures of how it would look in game. However I would bring more synergy to the kit by making his W and E also being cast from the blessing target (a bit like the ktz naxxramas shade) and maybe I would like to know for which situations he is useful so he he isnt just a healer you can pick and play in every match.

I took your advice! Check out the new talents "Holy Nova" at 5 and "Shooting Star" at 6. Thank you for your suggestion!

I might add a Strategy and Role section to my characters in the future, but for now Velen is meant to be a sort of generalist healer such as Li Li or Malfurion.

The idea of tying more of his abilities into Blessing of the Naaru is a good one; I expect I’ll update him with a couple of talents that let him launch smaller Divine Stars out of his Blessing target as well as splash a Light’s Burden in an AoE.

Thank you very much! I’m glad you liked him.

Yes, the wording on Blessing of the Naaru is missing that it can only be applied to one Hero at a time; I’ll fix that soon with a couple of other tweaks.
