Hero Strain

No cool down
Duration: 15 seconds

If an enemy hero kills you with an ability, you gain their basic abilities and can use them on with only half of the original ability's cool down. Killing an enemy hero during this time refreshes the duration of Hero Strain and creates a stack of Mutation, which activates when you finish the effect of Hero Strain. 1 stack creates a psionic field that damages enemies (1000 total damage for 5 seconds, +4% per lvl). 2 stacks creates a controllable Dominator Hybrid that ignores all damage taken and lasts for 10 seconds. (Deals 200 damage per attack +4% per lvl.) 3 stacks instantly revives you at your Hall of Storms.

Evolve

Biomass: 200 each (600 total)
Cool down: 40 seconds

Every 40 seconds, if you have sufficient biomass, your minion will evolve, gaining X1.5 bonus damage, X1.5 bonus health, and your basic attacks will be 10% faster. Stacks three times. At three stacks, you can transfer the stacks to another minion and control that minion instead, and your current minion will not be sacrificed, but it will still supply you with 50 biomass.

Skin Concepts

One of the Ideas I had while making this was that the OVERMIND would be a "God" type creature, with a halo over every minion he controls and himself, because of his ability to severely turn the tides of battle.
In his "Constant Change" form, halos would be all around his body, and he would grow white wings, flying instead of slithering. When anyone on his team dies, an angel with a halo and harp would fly up in the sky, singing "Hallelujah!"

Another idea I had would be that he's a corrupt A.I. His look would be a floating "Error!" sign and instead of a chrysalis, there would be orange hexagons appearing and disappearing along the minion. His Defiance would show a hand waving its finger as if saying "no, no" above the hero Defiance was used on. When using his stacks of Evolve, he would go into repair and get upgraded that way, instead of a cocoon.
His "Constant Change" would be magnets attracted to each other like a snake, and he would fire the Heroes logo at his enemies.
