Ragnaros

The FireLord

Hey everyone! First time making a hero, sorry if the idea has been used!

Ragnaros is a mid ranged tank with no movement speed. He cannot move at all, other than from his abilities. Instead of a mount, he travels around the map via tunnelling with a CD, similar to Dehaka or Flastad. He can only move through his "Resurface" ability, which has a short CD, his "Wave of Flame" ability, which has a long CD, or through his mount substitute.

Ragnaros has a mid range auto attack that does moderately high damage, though with low attack speed.

Combat Trait

1
Living Flame
PASSIVE: Whenever Ragnaros is attacked, or he hits an enemy with an auto attack or an ability, the enemy gains one stack of Living Flame. Living Flame is a DOT that does a small amount of damage over 6 seconds.

USE: Ragnaros recalls all currently active Living Flames, causing a small amount of damage to any enemy who has living flame applied, and then regaining health per living flame recalled.

Primary Abilities

1
Resurface
Resurface has 2 charges.

Tunnel a short distance before resurfacing, doing damage to anyone in the area that Ragnaros has resurfaced in and applying Living Flame to anyone affected.

This ability can travel slightly longer than Anub'Arak's Burrow Charge, and has a 15 second Cooldown.
2
Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros
Ragnaros swings his hammer in a circle around him, dealing damage and applying Living Flame. If the target already has Living Flame applied, then Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros deals extra damage.

This ability has an 8 second CD.
3
Wave of Flame
First use: A large, circular wave of flame starts large and slowly shrinks around Ragnaros, pulling enemies towards him, similar to Johannas condemn. The wave of flame applies Living Flame on any target it touches, but does not stun, so is dodgable via blink or jump. This ability has a rather long cooldown.

Second use: Ragnaros can teleport to any location around the ring of fire after the ability has been activated. If Ragnaros teleports, the ring will continue to close at his former location, pulling enemies towards that spot.

This ability has a 30 second CD.

Heroic Abilities

1
Walkin' on Sunshine
Ragnaros steps out of the fire, gaining the ability to move and walk like a normal hero.

At level 20, a trail of fire follows Ragnaros for 10 seconds, causing damage and applying Living Flame to any target who steps on it.
2
Lava Pit
The area around Ragnaros becomes a pit of lava, slowing movement speed and causing damage to all enemies around Ragnaros, also applying Living Flame.

At level 20, using this ability allows Ragnoros to move at a slow speed in areas that are affected by lava. When lava expires, Ragnaros is no longer able to move.

Special Mount

1
Tunnel
Ragnaros can tunnel a distance similar to Falstad's fly ability, with a CD of 30-40 seconds.

I really like the idea, I'm looking forward to seeing what talents Ragnaros will have.
I think it's actual kit would make him too much countered by mages and high-mobility-giant killers; maybe you could add some CC to wave of flame (his main way to approach enemies).

Have you thought to make him a mid range tank? The fire lord of W3 wasn't a melee unit...
In this way he could be a menace even if cannot move a lot, and the wave would be useful to hit the distant enemies or to combo with Sulfuras.

Anyway good job!
