Thanks, I did kind of forget to explain how his abilities do damage. I guess I just had it in my mind that it was implied but I should spell that out. I like your idea for Control Magic's damage; I'll add something along those lines. As far as Feedback scaling with level that could be possible, but I'm not going to add it in right now. I'm not much for the actual numbers and I just like to give the basic idea behind the character, so I'm not to interested in working out the scaling.
For Arcane Torrent I didn't add damage and instead buffed its defensive capabilities. Doubled the silence to 3 seconds and made it apply 5 stacks of Spell Immunity to allies (25% dmg reduction) as opposed to applying the Spellbreaker's current number of stacks (because he could lose his stacks instantly when entering a fight and therefor have none to apply to his allies).
And for Spell Bond it's just like the icon; three short chains leading from each hero to a central point. If they all run the same direction there is no issue, but if two are trying to run and one turns back to engage they're stuck trying to run the other way.
I like those ideas, but there's one big lacking point : damage.
Here's a few improvements you could add :
- Q deals damage on impact and/or damage when they use an ability (in addition to the stun)
- W could scale with your level, how about 20%(+0.75% per level) ?
- E could do damage to each hero caught in the aura for each ability they have on cooldown
- R1 definitely needs impact damage, it's too weak otherwise. I'd lower its CD aswell
- R2 "forcing them to move as one" what do you mean ? If they try to move X range from one another, they're stuck ? If so, that might be good
