Yogg-Saron

The God of Death

Yogg-Saron is an immobile hero. He surfaces on the altar at the start of the game and he doesn't move from this spot the entire match. Rather he controls faceless guardians to do his bidding on the battlefield. He also uses his tentacles which erupt from underground and terrorize the enemy minions and heroes and ultimately, drive them insane.

Combat Trait

1
Faceless Guardian
Yogg-Saron spawns a Faceless Guardian on the targeted spot (can't be spawned in areas effected by Fog of War). Faceless Guardian is a controlled unit which moves around and uses melee attacks to damage opponents. It has moderate health and stays on the battlefield until killed or dismissed. Once a Faceless Guardian despawns or dies, the skill will have a 5 seconds cooldown. Its death counts as 0.5 points.

Primary Abilities

1
Dark Volley
Faceless Guardian sends a bolt of shadow on the targeted area dealing moderate amount of area damage. (5 second cooldown.)
2
Tentacles
There are 2 types of tentacles which Yogg-Saron places on the battlefield. Tentacles can only be placed in a large radius around Faceless Guardians. The same type of tentacle cannot be used in a row. Unleashing a tentacle changes the type of tentacle that will be available next time. (10 second cooldown.)
3
Crusher Tentacle
Crusher tentacle erupts from the ground, hitting enemy minions and heroes in a conal area. The first attack that hits stuns the opponents for 2 seconds. Crusher Tentacle lasts for 8 seconds or until killed and keeps attacking the enemies around it. Crusher Tentacle always targets heroes over minions and structures.
4
Corrupter Tentacle
Corrupter Tentacle erupts from the ground and focuses on a target designated by Yogg-Saron. Once focused on a target, Corrupter Tentacle deals continous damage to its target for 5 seconds or until the target is out of range. Corrupter Tentacle may only be damaged by its target.
5
Brain Link
Yogg-Saron links 2 enemy heroes around Faceless Guardian with a beam. Linked heroes take damage unless they are within 5 yards from each other. The beam turns red if heroes are taking damage. It stays green if heroes are not taking damage.

Heroic Abilities

1
Immortal Guardian
Permanently transforms your Faceless Guardian into Immortal Guardian. Immortal Guardian has increased health, movement speed and basic attack damage. Immortal Guardian has ranged basic attacks. (If Immortal Guardian despawns, this skill will have a 30 second cooldown.)
2
Lunatic Gaze
Yogg-Saron drives his foes mad with his gaze, making it possible for the enemy heroes to be able to damage their allies with their skills for 6 seconds. (15 second cooldown.)

LEVEL 20 ULTIMATE UPGRADES

Faceless Army (R) : In addition to transforming Faceless Guardian, Yogg-Saron now transforms all existing allied minions into Faceless Minions. Faceless Minions have increased attack damage and health. (This effect does not share a cooldown with Immortal Guardian skill and has a 150 second cooldown.) 


Insanity (R) : Enemy heroes hit by their allies now take 20% increased damage from all sources for the duration of the spell. If an enemy hero is killed by friendly fire, Their damage done to their killer is increased by 5% permanently.

TRIVIA

If the player chose Lunatic Gaze/Insanity ultimate, enemies of Yogg-Saron occasionally can hear him whisper to them throughout the game. These whispers include:
[ul]
[li]They are coming for you...[/li]
[li]Kill them all... before they kill you...[/li]
[li]They have turned against you... now, take your revenge...[/li]
[li]Tell yourself again that these are not truly your friends...[/li]
[li]Trust is your weakness...[/li]
[li]You will be alone in the end...[/li]
[/ul]
Upon activating Lunatic Gaze/Insanity, Yogg-Saron yells: MADNESS WILL CONSUME YOU!

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

Thank you for looking at my Yogg-Saron hero design. This is the first hero design I published, I do hope you like the skill set and some of the additional features I added. I feel like there's more than spells and mechanics to adding heroes to the game and thus the trivia :). I will keep publishing more heroes in the days to come and update my existing ones if need be. Feel free to point out spelling mistakes and such (typos do happen after all) Let me know how you feel about the skills and the trivia, hope to see you all in Nexus!
