This wasn't originally an Assassin. Heroesfire's been glitching lately and reseting all concepts to Blizzard Assassin when they get updated. It can easily catch concept creators off-guard.

In an attempt to alleviate your concerns, which are valid, I've made a few small and not-so-small changes that should add up nicely for Andariel. First and foremost, I made Venom Spray remove positive Armor entirely. Upon further review, it feels like the change will make Venom Spray's talents more widely usable without making the base ability too much more powerful. In addition, I increased the Fear duration on Play Rough, making it a bit longer than Horrify, to justify the longer cooldown...

First off, I'm glad you liked the concept for the most part. As for the concerns you have about Andariel, I hope you don't mind too terribly if I go through them and address/accomodate them in a pretty long-winded fashion. 1) I made Andariel's cooldowns so long because I figured that she would be actively consuming her selfheal to bring the cooldowns down to a more manageable level, with her trading survivability for damage and flexibility at a core level. 2) I had her Q place the...

I've had this one done for a while in preparation for a possible hero concept contest, but I figured you guys might like to take a look anyway. If necessary, I'll come up with something else for an entry, but I just couldn't wait to share this any longer.

I debated the label for quite a while when I first made Imperius, but in the end I feel like he falls more on the Assassin side of things as a Bruiser, given the nature of his mobility and his focus on his Basic Attacks. Whereas most Warriors have one movement ability that can either be an engage or a disengage depending on the situation, most mobile Assassins seem to have both at the same time, like Tracer or Greymane. Imperius's mobility is a bit more limited compared to those heroes,...

okay, answer me this. What the hell were you thinking with this whole thing? The trait's alright, sure (if poorly worded), but it all goes downhill right from there. His Q is a strictly better version of Sonya's W, what with the massive AoE slow it provides, considering its total uptime and what I can only assume is a total lack of a mana cost. There are no repercussions to spamming any ability in his kit on cooldown, making him ultimately more imbalanced than release Maiev, release...

How so? Even in OW, Orisa has been pretty much the quintessential tank, with mitigation, a protective barrier, displacement, and an ult that encourages her team to remain near her to force the enemy team away. Nothing about that implies being a Specialist, whose roles cary from aiding their team in downing structures to playing a sort of information warfare to being really good at zoning people out. Orisa does none of this, and is all about protecting her team and forcing the enemy into...

I honestly love this concept. It's flavorful, impactful, fills a very clear role, seems like it would be very engaging to use, the talents are awesomely designed and have very exciting combos, and depicts my favorite character from Starcraft. I wouldn't change a thing mechanically, and I couldn't do even half as good a job making an Overmind concept as you've done here. The only thing I'd change would be a cosmetic thing, and that's making the Catapult minion into an Infestor and potentially...

with regards to the quest, the regen globes respawn every 7 seconds. That means you can get an average of 4-5 quest ticks from just one globe. Easy quest, strong reward

I don't want to make Imperius too hard to kill compared to other bruiser assassins, which a straight up damage reduction on top of his baseline Armor would do, which is why I have it as a Blind. Well-landed skillshots will end up forcing him out of the fight, which is a purposeful weakness of his, since the Blind's mainly meant to make him more elusive while not extending his health pool to obscene levels. I'm not entirely opposed to making it just a flat-out damage reduction, but my fear is...
