Interesting Hero Idia! But some changes have to be done. Your Demon Gate is to Powerfull, make the change that the enemies can destroy it while it is spawning minions. Your Hypnosis and Marked for Doom is broken. Hypnosis over 3 sec ? Lets be fair and make it up for 1.5. 6 secounds stun is op. set it down to 4. And the most broken talent: Marked for Doom. 10 secounds silence? Its like putting a hero in a Teamfight out. Uther for example cant heal when you engage then. Remove the sielence or make it a 5 secound silience at max!

Thanks for your feedback. Below are my replies:
- The demon gate can be destroyed but was not explicitly stated, I have now updated it.
- Hypnosis puts a target to sleep after 3 seconds giving the target some room to get to a safe spot before sleeping. I think 5 seconds should be enough since the enemy has room for counterplay. This is now clearly stated in the description.
- Isolation is the primary purpose of Doom. I do admit that it is OP after reviewing it again and so I will lower the duration and damage.
edit: I've decided to make an entirely new ultimate for him. He already has an isolation ability with hypnosis so I'll just make him blind the whole enemy team.
