Details
Ability Range Tentacles can be summoned from a range similar to kael's flamestrike range after picking up the flamethrower talent without picking up the talent for yogg-saron at 13. Lunatic Gazes range is a slightly expanded version of Tyrande's starfall radius due to the area of effect being around yogg's body. Induce madness has a range coming just short of kael's flamethrower flamestrike range, but if you pick up the talent at level 1 it's around the same radius. Constrictor tentacles shoot as far as you can place his other tentacles. Brain link is castable in anywhere within yogg's tentacle range, additionally his tentacles act as a range pylon so if you put a tentacle a max planting range it will increase brain link's as well as constrictor tentacle's max casting distance.
Tentacles - Crusher tentacle does not deal basic attack damage and instead channels Diminishing Power
- Cooldown on Spawn Tentacles begins after using the ability and not after they die
- Tentacles last until killed or until control of them has been exited for 5 seconds
- When you use spawn tentacles you choose the location to put the crusher then the location to place the Corruptor like way pointing almost and then the ability is cast after you have placed both

Removed Curse of Doom (W) Corruptor Tentacle
New Heroic Mark of Insanity - Yogg-Saron places a mark on an enemy hero and drains their sanity, after 1.5 seconds the enemy goes insane giving control of the hero to Yogg-Saron for 3 seconds. During this time all basic abilities cooldowns of the mind controlled player are reset and are usable to Yogg-Saron but heroic abilities are not.
Cooldown: 80 seconds New Talents Big Rework
INDUCE MADNESS (D) is basicly Sylvannas Possession, but better, less cooldown, faster to use. You can simply put this in the enemy gate and get a free minion wave... seems too simple, compared to abthur (which spawns 1 locust every 15 seconds) you can spawn 7 minions in 0 seconds for 13 seconds every 15 seconds)
It's a good trait for sure but it's only around the radius of the main stationary body, can't really just drop it anywhere. It's also not like possession in the fact that they are only mind controlled while they are within the radius and if they leave they return to normal, as well as weakening controlled minions. There's a bit of a risk vs reward thing if you put yourself out there aggressively to use it on enemy minions. If you force out Yogg to flee it automatically cancels and you have to wait for the CD again to use it. The CD would probably have to be longer by a few seconds to balance it though.
