My idea: Sorceress from D2. As you may know, she has 3 different ways/trees to follow: cold, fire and lightning. It’s a little chance of getting 3 different Sorceress from D2 in HotS, so I thought that it will be a good idea to merge them into one Hero with 3 personalities. And this is my idea: The Three Sisters.
Cold Sorceress: Saeiru Fire Sorceress: Habacalva Lightning Sorceress: Isendra
Base stats:
Health: 1290 (+4% per level) HP Regen: 2,67 (+4% per level) Mana: 550 (+10 per level) MP Regen: 3 (+0,1 per level)
Hero consists of 3 different characters: Cold Sorceress, Fire Sorceress and Lightning Sorceress. They have different skills and work in different way. Their personalities change automatically after 20 seconds in this order: Cold -> Fire -> Lightning -> Cold. They have different sets of abilities, but from the same kind: Q is skillshot, W is AoE, E is buff. They have different Heroic Abilities, but each sorc has only one. Cooldowns on skills last even after changing Sorceress. Each Sorceress can use only her abilities during her 20 seconds of presence.
Saeiru has moderate damage, but also applies a little slow (5% for AA, 15% for skills) that lasts 3 seconds.
Habacalva has high damage that is split in 2 parts: instant damage and burning damage that lasts 3 seconds (this damage doesn't stack, but is refreshed after each hit). Fire Sorceress is melee character: she wields axe (you should know Beast in Berserker axe if you played D2).
Isendra is random (from D2 you can remember her numbers: damage from 1 to 20 000). She deals damage in parting from 1 to X and player doesn’t have any influence on this. She can hit really hard or can do it miserably.
Primary Abilities
1
Q - Skillshot
Every Sorceress has differrent Q ability.
Saeiru:
Glacial Spike
- Skillshot, similar to Jaina’s Frostbolt, but this one also do 60% damage on impact to everyone in small radius.

Cooldown: 9 s.
Deal 110 damage to all targets within the radius. Slow all enemies for 15% for 3 secs.
Habacalva:
Blaze
- This spell makes line of fire on the ground on footsteps of Habacalva. Line lasts for 4 secs and hurts everyone who cross it or will stay inside. Sorceress can run with this effect for a 6 secs or cancel it earlier. Cost is permanent, not mana per sec.
Mana: 40
Cooldown: 12 s.
Deal 184 damage per second to all targets staying/crossing flames. After leaving Blaze, enemy is burning for 15 damage per second for 3 seconds.
Isendra:

- Isendra makes a storm that lasts like 8 secs and, every 0,5 sec hits random target in an area around her. Of course, that random hit does random damage from some interval 1 – X.
Mana: 60
Cooldown: 17 s.
Every strike does 1-98 damage to random target every 0,5 s. Strikes are random, but enemy Heroes have 25% more chance to get hit.

E - Buff
Every Sorceress has different E ability.
Saeiru:
Chilling Armor
- When Sorceress is hit by enemy, it launches a spike that moves toward attacking enemy and hits first encountered target. Armor doesn’t have any duration in time – can launch 12 spikes before expire. Armor doesn't work with Damage over Time like Lunara's poison, Gul'dan's corruption etc.

Mana: 55
Cooldown: 8 s.
Basic attacks deal additional 40% damage. Target is burning for 15 damage per second for 3 seconds.
Isendra:

Mana: 35
Cooldown: 8 s. after expiration
Shield uses mana to absorb 15% of damage dealt to Sorceress. Lasts 4 seconds.
Heroic Abilities
1
Frozen Orb
Saeiru's Heroic Ablity.
Sorceress casts an orb that moves straight, deals massive damage and constantly shot spikes in every direction. Spikes do light damage, hit first targets and slow them.
Mana: 85
Cooldown: 100 s.

Mana: 90
Cooldown: 120 s.
Indicator appears on the ground. After 2 seconds Meteor hits that area. Meteor deals 920 damage in radius similar to Jaina's Blizzard. Flames stay in point of impact for 3 seconds and deal 75 damage every 0,25 s. to everyone inside. After leaving this area, target is burning for 15 damage per second.
3
Static Field
Isendra's Heroic Ability.
Every enemy in short radius lose 20% of current HP. This skill can’t kill.
Mana: 60
Cooldown: 40 s.
Sorceress instantly hurts everyone in area around her (similar to Arthas's Frozen Tempest) for 20% of their CURRENT health points.
Talents
The Three Sisters have differencies in talents Tiers.
On 1, 10 and 20 lvl player can choose 1 talent out of 3. I was wondering what to do with levels 4, 7, 13 and 16. We have 3 possible options:
a) choose 1 talent out of 2 for every Sorceress (so 3 talents to pick on every Tier),
b) pick 1 talent out of 6,
c) merge/rework some talents into different ones giving bonuses to more then 1 sorceress.
If I will have time (and if you help me ^^), I will do the c) option.
1 = Are these separate played (like Vikings), or just used as a party (perhaps rotating/switching formation like Chen's ult does), and how you select the active caster = D/F keys ?
2 = What happens if one dies ? = do you get a complete death timer (like Dota's Meepo) or ?
In case you don't want to have them played split like Vikings = I think there's a cool mechanic for a party hero of three in a rather old game called 3 dirty dwarves (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2uNc7propo), seems cool to me lol = basically it's when a sorceress dies she goes unconscious and you have to select different one to wake her up, death happens when all 3 of them are unconscious lol
1. No, this is one player and one Hero. Only one of these Sorcs is active at time. You join game as Cold Sorceress (with only Cold skills) and after 20 second game automatically changes Sorc to Fire Sorceress (with only Fire skills). You can take 1 level tier talent to be able to manually switch Sorc whenever you want to (with 1 minute cooldown).
2. When Sorc (doesn't matter which one is active) dies, she gets complete death timer. During this time, the clock which is measuring which Sorc is "active", is still running. When u die as Cold sorc in her 10 second of existence and you get 25 seconds of respawn time, you will come back as Fire Sorc and will have 5 seconds as her, before she will change to Lightning Sorc.
Dirty dwarves idea is cool, but I think it might be a little bit too OP on this Hero. I think I might implement this mechanism on different Hero, if you don't mind and don't plan to use it by yourself :D
GL using Dwarves idea as much as you like, would be flattered (in a way) haha :D
Kinda weird to be forced on a timer TBH, but cool for the clarification
Thx :)
