I'd like to make some suggestions regarding the Auras and Blessings.

So this is your OC or something?

I took screenshots from the game over black backgrounds (the far corners) and then just tried to replicate things in paint.net, adding in some blur to try and smooth over the inconsistencies. I wish a tool existed for this. Then maybe I'd have put in more work into the terrain. What's there is really more of a rough idea.

I generally either take an approach towards lore faithfulness where "it's nice, but it should take a back seat to making something that's fun and/or unique", so in terms of lore, I'm most likely going to go against it. But anyway... when I first looked at this, the class was identified as a Bruiser, and I had a whole thing about how the moveset was clearly more Healer or maybe even Tank inspired, but since that's fixed, I'll have to focus elsewhere. Trait (D): I think...

The idea of a hero's trait being one of AA augmentation is one I love (I used it for a character moveset in a Nintendo-based MOBA once), and perfectly fits into the kind of good hero design that encourages players to think about what move they use and when, rather than just going ham on abilities. That said, I'd like to make a few suggestions, as there are spots in this moveset that I feel are in need of tuning to properly make for a fully cohesive character.

Valeera has needed a rework for a long time, but I've always been lost on how. She underperforms, and yet she feels so bad to play against, with some characters dying in under 2 seconds to her, and/or having zero counterplay to her. I'm honestly not sure what to say vis-a-vis her CC reductions, but giving her an increased cost when using those abilities could really help in slowing her down some, so players have a chance to react and peel for an ally, since Valeera will need to spend more...

Hey, much thanks! Having a HotS developer see some of my concepts would be the dream scenario. I'm fairly sure they'd have a thing or two to say about the numbers too, since the ones I've given Roadhog are quite high, especially for a tank (in fact, I've been lowering them since I published this). I do want his damage to be on the higher side for a tank, but it's hard to find a clean balance.

Since this is still getting updated, I thought I might add one last quick critique. Namely that the 12/14 second long DoT on Lunaclaw's trait is an ungodly long time for a DoT in Heroes of the Storm. I think, as of right now, the longest DoT duration in all of HotS is the level 20 version of Xul's Poison Nova ability, which is 15 seconds long, but is also a level 20 talent on an 90 second cooldown. The problem being that DoTs can have some weird interactions with certain other mechanics....

I've been meaning to get back to this for a while, but never quite found the time. But thanks for giving my review a read. I feel a little bad about how I approached some of this review, so I'll try to approach your response a bit better. Wordiness The 'too much text' problem is mostly a case of every ability having to be cross-referenced with up to three other mechanics. Boom Bots, Boomship, and Omega, and when Omega Effects can in turn influence Boomship, things tend to get...

I feel like the nature of Magic Currents is a bit problematic. First there's the random element that can make a Milhouse player just lose to bad RNG (which in turn means they'd need to tune him to compensate, but then good RNG can hand him victories he doesn't deserve). Additionally it means a lot of extra visual clutter, and if both teams have a Milhouse it becomes even worse. Personally I think the idea of creating a 'tear' around you after casting an ability is great, forcing you to move...
