Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: Yogg Saron

Combat Trait

Insanity

Passive

Damage from your abilities apply insanity to enemy heroes for 3 seconds. This effect stacks. At 6 stacks of insanity, the target is Fear for 1 second.

-Feared in place rather than running like Guldan's horrify

-Stacks cannot be applied to enemies already Feared, to prevent total CC lock

Primary Abilities

Brain Link

Global Point and Click
1 second cooldown
5 second channel

Extend your will fully upon one of an ally lane minions, giving you full control of them and evolving them into a Faceless One, increasing their health by 500%, attack damage by 300%, and movement speed by 15%

While in control the the minion is empowered, granting a new Q and activating the W ability.

-While under brain link, the minion is now considered a hero and can contest objectives, capture mercenary camps, and other things a hero can.

-Minions who die under Brain Link grant full heroes exp and will "kill" yogg saron. While dead, he cannot cast a a new Brain Link and is considered "dead" like a normal hero until the respawn timer is up. If a Cthaxxi is still alive, he may still control it, similiar to how kerrigan can control ultralisk while dead.

-The animation for channeling is a clear and distinct visual que to let enemy players know where exactly yogg is mostly focusing his efforts at. It will upgrade the basic minion (think super saiyin transformation) and will grant a mini map icon until killed

Did some big update to this one

A clarify for murky if he ever looks at this: Yogg's health is separate from the core's health. Yogg's health is used for the minion summons. Attacking the core still damages the core normally(Or at least I assume though).

That being said, i think the faceless ult right now is way too strong. You get a 20 second(thats a LONG time) copy of an enemy hero, making up for yogg's biggest weakness. They have an aura that stacks insanity(Which is pretty much: every 5 seconds, all nearby enemy heroes get stunned for a second, which is crazy by itself.) AND can only be damaged by the specific hero copied. I would either remove the aura, or remove the only damaged by copied target part.

yeah i caught that :/

I think that having a core that can be healed would be a bit op no? I think that if Yogg Sarron was in the game he would have receive 50% less healing. Other than that i LOVE this idea, having a hero that is the core is some serious thinking outside the box, but even if he was the core what if he had an inverted ragneros ability? For a secondary ability he could roam around the map but still have same abilities and the core will have the health Yogg Saron left it with. Making it a bit les risky but in this state he'd have half of his normal hp and cant ride mounts. (Edit, oops didnt read top part fully)

Do you mean like an avatar of sorts? not sure i quite understand the suggestion.

On that note, i had an idea where hed teleport in an inflict insanity to those who was facing his direction like his boss fight but it seemed op on paper since you have to face someone in order to deal damage to them

[-]

but still, healable core?

[-]

that idea was before i realized the core's health was seprate

This is prob one of the cooler yog-Sarons, with giving him a way to actually be 'killed' while not having a proper body, and health being his main mechanic. That being said, I think Brain Link's downside is way too risky for its upside, as minions really don't do much even with a 25% attack boost, even with the 300% health.

As an idea for his madness ultimate, it should allow him to activate it to instantly give all enemy heroes 4 stacks of insanity, and insanity stacks can't go below 4 for 5 seconds, with a 120 cooldown. In other words, if he times it right, a global 1 second stun, with a free 1 second stun anytime they get hit by one of his minions. Might need to be shorter than 5 seconds though.
