The double switch thing I don't think is too bad; again there are like 2 second stuns in the game so being able to act at all takes away some of its power. I do however think you have a good point about it causing someone to waste their ultimate by aiming it improperly. With this in mind I think I'd change it so there is no friendly fire on the basic version, simply the inverted controls, and then add the 25% friendly fire at 20. Or even just increase its duration if the potential for someone...

Really well thought-out abilities; captures the dragoon flavor. Love it!

Love the trait

To counter it you literally just have to realize it's been cast on you and put your mouse on the opposite side of your hero. Like say I'm playing as Chen, I'm running west to get away from Rat-Man. He casts Mass Confusion on me which inverts my mouse. For a second, since I was clicking like mad to get away, I actually end up running towards Rat-Man. I think "Oh shit!" and move my mouse so I can click in the spot I actually need to keep running. I do understand your hesitation...

I don't know names off the top of my head, but I've encountered it before. That's the only reason I thought of it; it's something I've seen before. I wouldn't have been able to think of that on my own. And why on earth do you think it would be hard to implement? It just inverts your mouse. And it's not hard to balance, it's 3 seconds where the enemy can still act. There are stuns that last almost that long.

The minions are easy to kill but come back quite quickly. Hex does behave the same as Polymorph; that's nice that you would prefer it on another hero. Spirit Walk is similar to Tassadar's E in a sense, but he is not invulnerable, merely cloaked. In addition he ignores collision. Mass Confusion wouldn't be hard, games have an "invert controls" mechanic all the time.

Cool abilities, cool character, killer presentation. Love it!

What don't you like about Hostile Takeover? I feel like it'd be a perfect combo with Taxation. You essentially force an enemy hero to walk towards you, and once they're out of position you slow them.

Thanks! 50% is very fast, so yes I do picture them having a relatively small health pool. The problem is most of their gameplay rewards them for continuously moving -- which would get very boring if they didn't move fast. So I think the extra speed would help make them exciting. They are race cars after all.

Really like this idea so far, I think they'd make a great hero. That is a lot of different abilities to keep track of though; maybe you'd want to reduce them to 2 per hero? Or maybe not. Complex is good too. I really like the trait, nice and simple. As far as the not wanting to get rid of the mana thing because it clashes with one of my hero designs... I wouldn't worry about that at all. If you feel like cooldown based abilities is the way to go then by all means, go with that. My Gallywix...
