The main reason i have Impy's trait so team-focused is because I was trying to go for his role as the leader of the heavenly host, making him a hero that initiates fights where his team has to follow him in afterward. He can still act very strongly on his own with his disruption and mobility, but if his team takes that leap of faith they'll be able to accomplish a lot alongside him. As for Impy's W, I added the Blind to make him able to be more sticky in fights by making him harder to...

Hit the nail right on the head there.

Trait: I tweaked Ith's E so that it can only proc once per hero, which should normalize its effect on his trait. Also prevents there from being absurdly high levels of AP, but that's more of a side-effect. W: I'm not particularly willing to change it mechanically, but I would absolutely be amenable to drastically reducing its effective window of opportunity for the backfire, so it has to be a very precise thing that Itherael throws out when he KNOWS you're about to do something. Does that...

Thanks for the shoutout :D with regards to the trait's CDR, it's when ANY of his abilities has its effect comes to fruition. The backfiring on the W, the AP boost on E, and all that. Q: I plan to have some interesting talents for this one that I think you'll like, making it much more thematic and powerful. W: I might up the CD to 20 seconds then, but otherwise I'm liking the function of the ability as a sort of Medivh W but with more of a targeted effect that can be used to secure...

There's almost no way to know after just one day of PTR. As always, the matchmaker's borked there, people are playing a limited subset of heroes (the ones who have been changed, since that's what they're interested in), and we have such a widely differing variety of playstyles in each match that it's practically impossible to tell if a hero's top-tier. Yes, with certain edge cases like Kel'thuzad being able to do 8k+ damage to a single target once his quest is complete, there's more...

I honestly have to agree here. Weak kit, weak ults, little synergy beyond forced mechanical pairing, overall mediocre concept. That's something of a recurring theme here. You dress up your concepts with pretentious videos full of unnecessary fluff time (the Absolute Productions bit at the start, the lore blurb), but not even that serves to redeem such utterly uninspiring concepts. Don't get me wrong, they're not "bad" persay, just wholly forgettable and generic, with little...

Really interesting concept, definitely feels much more like a proper builder unit than a certain other hero we all know... I like the ults, but I feel like Backbone of the Alliance could use a small buff to 60% EXP per peasant. Neighborhood Watch also feels REALLY strong for a level 20 talent, even though I like the idea behind it being sorta like Alarak's level 20. With it essentially being two full heroes, it seems like it'd be as strong as Fury of the Storm is on TLV in a teamfight,...

My apologies for the very late reply, but thanks for all the love ^.^ The duration of spread debuffs is based on the original duration of the debuff, rather than the time left on it, this is partly to make the skill more forgiving for Mephisto and partly, like you said, for consistency. The only reason I went into such detail on which statuses the skill does and does not spread is because someone informed me that tha term "debuffs" in general was a bit too vague and asked me to...

How so? Everything he does deals damage, he deals a fair amount of damage, and he's hard to get rid of in a fight. He doesn't have any self-sustain, but with everything he does providing some sort of disruption, it makes it difficult to focus on him. Like his label implies, he's a Bruiser through and through.

That's precisely it. Yes, she can do a ton of damage when she's enabled, but Natalya's main weakness is poke, though it can be mitigated with early, aggressive Shadow placement. CC her and suddenly everything falls apart for her. I'm glad you liked the concept :) Also, I definitely think that a Natalya's Vengence set skin (for either Valla or Nat, tbh) would be an awesome skin. If it ends up being a Nat skin, perhaps it could be called "Hunter Initiate Natalya"? Anyway, thank...
