Well usually the level 16 talents are game changing for the hero. I think the level 16 talents are a bit underwhelming for Godfrey here, since as you said it yourself; if you added blood for blood, it would be a no-brainer.

Masochism fits his theme really well, I'd also make it so that his cooldowns are reduced and his bleeds tick faster by his passive. I'd make blade dance a stacking bleed effect. Not really a huge fan of leaping effects, since everyone and their melee mothers have one these days, but I do like the concept over all. Also there could be an option to make a spell that consumes all bleeds and deals instant damage equal to the bleed amount to all targets with a bleeding effect on them. Thumbs up.

The 50% slow from hulking abomination is a little too high if it lasts for 3 seconds, and his E that gives you 33% splash damage seems kinda underwhelming. Also heroes of the storm is a game that deliberately strayed away from randomness, so I dont think this concept would fly. If there were ways via talents to reduce the randomness in his abilities then it would look more like a heroes of the storm hero.

Hero definitely has some interesting mechanics, I'd change the name of sacred soil to sacred ground or something of the sort; since you arent always fighting in soil, unless she summons soil--which sounds kinda meh :P.

I like the idea overall, I'm not sure how practical his passive would be since it runs out so quickly, and Id change the name on his W (new plague). Otherwise the hero has some really good ideas in it. Also I'd try to steer away from direct % damage buffs and instead find some creative ways to boost his plague damage. Thumbs up.

I absolutely love the originality. Although I do not know how one can be afflicted by ghouls. Two things I would like to mention regarding the talents though: Conjurer's pursuit is not a ranged assassins talent, and Will of the Forsaken doesnt fit him lorewise, id rather go with the usual blood for blood or something of the sort. Spell shield and stoneskin are good talent choices considering this hero is severely lacking in defensive abilities or stats. You might think that his healing is...

So basically you copy pasted a blood death knight

Firstly, tirion can never have a corrupted ashbringer. Secondly he has way too many healing spells for a warrior, 3 healing spells and a shield, thats more than Uther has. Blessed strike has a 4 second cooldown that heals him for 10% of his health, he'd be the best healer in the game while also being a better damage dealer than 90% of the meta, judging by his other 3 damaging abilities.

I think you were rather liberal with the amount of damage in his abilities, but numbers can be changed and they dont really matter. Shattering blow, as his main damage ability, shouldnt be the ability that applies the Vulnerability, rather have it applied by something else, so that he can make full use of the damage. Tier 5 is loaded with general talents, and doesnt have enough talent choices that augment the hero abilities. Normally, you have one general talent and a couple of hero ability...

This is a really well put together hero and would fit the nexus really well and I would also like to see the talent choices. I can imagine the plays you can make with Demonic Gateway.
