Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: Ran Yakumo

Combat Trait

Advanced arithmetics

Cooldown (activate/desactivate): 5 seconds

Activate to reduce your mana regeneration to 20% but increase the range of your ally-affecting abilities to cover the entire map (allies close to you will recieve double the effect) and empower your other abilities in different ways.

Ability paths

This is not a trait but functionality mechanics, deppending on your ult of choice, 2 of your basic abilities will change. You will be allowed the choice of basic abilities once at level 1.

Primary Abilities

Fox-Tanuki Youkai Laser

Mana: 40
Cooldown: 5 seconds

After a 0.5 sec channel, cast a long range laser that does 400(+4%) damage over 2 seconds. Can be canceled by moving. Unlike ming's laser this one needs 0.5 seconds travel until it reaches the maximum range

Empowered: Widens the laser an extra 100%

For recognition purposes a widened laser should be able to cover an entire wave of minions.

Wizard fox thoughts

Mana: 55
Cooldown: 13 seconds

Mark an enemy to generate a huge amount of unlimited projectiles to surround said enemy after 0.75 seconds that will last 1.25 seconds. The enemy is free to move while inside but will take damage if they try leaving the outer section of the circle. The circle generated will always be 50% bigger than the targeted hero radius and can only be cast on heroes, will not do damage to nothing else. The projectiles will do 25(+4%) damage per tick (1 tick each 0.1 seconds).

For recognition purposes for its wideness, it should take 0.7 seconds to a hero with a radius of 1 to leave the damaing part of the circle (the outer section) while having 100% movement speed (Kael'thas radius).

Empowered: The circle will last 2 seconds and will have a second layer around the first one

Unilateral contact

Mana: 60
Cooldown: 15 seconds

Release an array of bullets in all directions around you that will go as far as 12 away from you after a 2 second travel while circling around you. Activate it again to make the bullets go back to your current position at any given time (0.5 cooldown). Each bullet deals 120 (+4%) damage. Bullets will dissapear after 8 seconds or mounting. The total of created bullets is 10.

For recognition purposes, 12 equals genji's E range. It's speed while cicling should make it so at maximum range they take 4 seconds to do a full rotation. Circling speed is the same regardless of distance

Empowered: Activating the circle will make the bullets stop at their current distance from you while still circling around your position.
Can be activated a second time to make the bullets go back to your current position.

Princess Tenko Illusion

Mana: 60
Cooldown: 10 seconds

Select an enemy to teleport to their position after a 0.5 second warning dealing 80(+4%) damage, releasing a huge explosive bullet that does 320(+4%) damage in the direction of your teleport (so if your enemy is to your left and you teleport, the bullet will go in that direction). The bullet will continue to travel for 3 seconds or until it collides with a target, splitting in 3 smaller bullets that don't do damage but instead reduce the enemies cooldowns time recovery to 80% of their original cooldown reduction.

Bullets speed same as ming's orb, full size from the beggining.

Empowered: Teleport is instant

Soaring en no Ozuno

Mana: 20
Cooldown: 5 seconds
3 charges

Select an area to do a side attack (from left to right from where you are looking, kinda like maiev knives but without the attack looking like moon shaped, just a line), doing 140 damage (+4%). Can be used in quick succession and you become untargeteable while using it. Return to your position after the ability is completed.

Empowered: Each Soaring en no Ozuno usage will apply a second cast of the ability that does 50% of the original damage.

Secondary Abilities

Aura: Banquet of general gods

Grant anyone in an area around you (deckard cain's activation trait range) a 7% increase in AA damage and spellpower

Aura: Eighty million holy board

Grant anyone in an area around you (decard cain's activation trait range) 7 armor.

Heroic Abilities

Ultimate buddhist

Mana: 120
Cooldown: 80 seconds

Activate to generate 4 lasers in an L shape that will rotate around your position. Activate again to reverse the rotation (1 sec cooldown) and the laser colour. Red lasers will do magic damage while blue lasers will do physical damage. Lasts 5 seconds and deals 180(+4%) damage per hit. The laser will only be able to hit every enemy once until the rotation is changed again. While the channel is being executed you won't be able to use other abilities nor will be able to activate the ability if unilateral contact is active.

Passively: increase the damage from unilateral contact by 50% when the bullets distance is 6 or lower from you. This passive is obtained when picking the ultimate ability

Every activation of this ability will grant Ran a 20% speed buff for 1 second.

Taking this path will activate Princess Tenko Ilussion and Soaring en no Ozuno as your first 2 abilities

Hierarch's Arcanum

Mana: 80
Cooldown: 40 seconds

(This ability uses 2 vectors) Activate to generate a huge area between the 2 selected vectors, enemy heroes in that area will be silenced and have their movement speed reduced by 20%. This ability can remain active for as long as you desire but doing so will consume an extra 20 mana per second and force activation of advanced arithmetics.

Passively: increase the damage from unilateral contact by 50% when the bullets distance is 9 or higher from you. This passive is obtained when picking the ultimate ability

Taking this path activates Fox-Tanuki Youkai Laser and Wizard Fox Thoughts as your first 2 abilities

Oh yes, Touhou concept! I'm heavily biased toward it for that purpose, but putting that aside, I think you did a great job of translating danmaku/bullet hell elements into a MOBA kit without going into a gimmicky kit that forces enemies to micrododge nonsense (works in bullet hells, not in MOBAs). I also like how you took a lot of Ran's spell cards and put them into the abilities, when I think of Touhou concepts I usually go straight to the fighting games because those attacks are easier to work with :P
