HOW HIRE WORKS?
So Hire isthe talent that makeThe Sidekicksa hero totally different. You start playing with a single hero ofThe Sidekicksspecifically the Crusader (we will talk more about each of them later), the others heroes will not be seen for now, they will be safe back in town. When casting Hire the Crusader (or the current hero) will start to cast the town portal, like Diablo series, and after 1 second he will go town and the next hero will appear in the same place the Crusader was. The Hire talent will always follow an cycle order, which means: The Crusader will always swap position with the Scoundrel which will always swap position with the Enchantress and then we are back to the Crusader. Back in town the heroes will recovery life faster and recharge their skills cooldown twice as faster. When one of The Sidekicks is killed it gives only 75% of the normal hero experience, also him has his on resurrection timer, which means you mightnot have to wait him resurrect in order to play. WAIT.... MIGHT? What that means? Well let me explain, when the current hero is killed, his resurrection timer starts normally as any other hero, however if Hire is not on cooldown andif you have other heroes available (not resurrecting) Hire is automatically put on cooldown and you start with the next hero at the Nexus, otherwise you have to wait for the longer resurrection timer from all your dead heroes.
heroic abilities
Ashera's Call The first Heroic Ability of The Sidekicks allow you to call the remaining alive followers to aid you, upon cast the alive followers back in town come for your help, they are AI controlled and keep following your current hero, they will attack the nearby enemies and use their skills for 8 seconds, also Hire skill will be unavailable over the duration of Ashera's Call. When one of your summoned heroes is killed they give only half amount of experience - they give something around 37.5% of normal hero experience - and have no resurrection time, which means they will be back in town able to be swapped if Hire, but beware if your current hero is killed, all of them will die and you will have to wait for the normal resurrection timer.
Endless Cycle This Heroic Abilitymakes so when you die, Hire is automatically put on cooldown (if it's already on cooldown, it's refreshed) and the next hero is summoned in the place where your current hero died. The skill has it on cooldown and if you got killed while it's on cooldown you wont get it benefit.

Oh okay, they are really nice ulti. I really love this hero. Just for ENDLESS CYCLE, I think summoning a portal at death location (and also one at the spawn) that last a few seconds. That's way, we can choose to return where we die or not, avoiding getting killed in a loop.
Yeah I was worried about a possible killing spree because of Endless Cycle. First I thought in making Endless Cycle an active skill, however yours is far better, I shall include this changes.
