There are a lot of inherent issues with this concept, but I'll stick to three: I don't think anyone would really want to play the Demon Lords. Everyone would just want to play Sargeras. The Lords don't even get talents, so one of the game's coolest and most unique elements is just gone for them. The obscene amount of work this concept would require just to create 10 heroes that will see even less playtime than Cho'gall (people like Cho'gall, but actually finding a chance to pick him is...

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't notice this response until... four months later!? Well, better late than never! There's nothing about the moveset outside of Chain Swirl that's notably wrong, I'd say. The passive part of the trait just encourages a high cooldown hero to play aggressively and position closer to enemy heroes, while the active part is basically Raynor's E. Tanks need sustain (and a way to survive damage while surrounded), so it's good that's in there. I would probably only remove the...

It probably doesn't need to be said at this point, but Chain Swirl is basically a ranged version of Wrecking Ball with potentially even more power to control who and what you grab. It is a free pick against all but the most mobile of enemies with very little room for counterplay. I could give a more in-depth critique of the whole moveset if you'd like, as there are upsides and downsides to this kit concept, but Chain Swirl, as-is, could not be allowed to exist.

While I'm slightly iffy on the baseline changes (mostly I think 2 seconds of 80% slow is way too much for a baseline ability, more due to its anti-fun properties than balance reasons), I'm really quite fond of a lot of these talent adjustments. I also don't think that marks from Condemn should be consumed by Punish, that just seems like too much of a one-and-done for laning, and brings back a lot of the issues with its old design. Still, great work!

I think the core concept of this hero is a really good one. Each ability is a slightly underwhelming one baseline, but turns into something powerful when used at maximum stacks. The player is often forced to decide betwen using an ability in its crappy form just to stack up faster when the AA route isn't available, or they can save it for the pay off at the end. Decision making and skill expression all in a tight package. It's almost the platonic ideal of how a trait should be designed,...

Thanks for the response. I agree with some comments, but I think fundamentally we won't see eye-to-eye on Verdant Spheres. While I do think a lot is lost in removing KT's Verdant Spheres, your response really only reinforced my stance that it's a poor fit for him. I will also note the things I do like about KT, though, that I tried my best not to touch: E into Q is a bit braindead, but because E deals no damage, there's a cost to over-relying on the combo, namely that KT gives up...

Custom Hero Contest Review: This moveset plays with some... dangerous ideas. Trait This is the part of the kit that I think is unworkable, at least in its current form, and with this moveset. It ties into an issue lots of players currently have with both Brightwing and Abathur. Players enjoy having duels. They like putting their skills up against an enemy and winning because of that. Players get a bit irritated with Abathurs ensuring that a 1-on-1 can never truly happen, and players...

Custom Hero Contest Review: This is a concept that I think hits some strong notes, but is a bit jumbled up, keeping it from reaching its potential. Trait Since the trait is mostly just a way to activate the effect the effects of a summon, there's not much that can be said here. I think it's unecessary to say "battlecry or taunt", since they're functionally the same thing in this context. Q This is one of two movesets in the contest that has a tank that grants heals. This......

Custom Hero Contest Review: This version of Harth is one that I feel starts off on the right foot, with a strong foundation, but ends up missing the mark. Trait I'll go over the Mana Crystals mechanic later, when I cover the Q ability. Reading through this moveset, I wasn't sure if you accidentally put Support as his role, instead of Healer, Regardless, this design does generally fit Harth's core design in the broad strokes. As a support who requires an enemy hero be nearby to have...

Custom Hero Content Review: This Harth Stonebrew is a bit of an oddball. It has places where it shines, but it also features some dud areas. Trait This trait is basically Muradin's, just with a cap. Healers do need some form of self-healing, and this one seems more-or-less fair, though it has some mild issues. Unlike Muradin, whose trait encourages players to make critical decisions of when to leap in and out, this particular kit doesn't really have that. It's a workable and possible to...
