I think you have an interesting moveset here, but I think on the whole you've got two different core concepts competing with one another, resulting in something that's less than the sum of its parts. I'm not familiar with this character, so I couldn't give an accurate critique on lore accuracy or flavor, but I would like permission to critique this character in more depth to point out where the concept is strongest, where it's weakest, and how I think it could be improved.

As a firm supporter of Heroes of the Storm getting a Hearthstone rep, I'm always glad to see concepts like these. That said, while there are a lot of elements I really like here that form a great foundation for a Dr. Boom moveset, I feel like it needs another pass to iron out some of the kinks. If you'd let me, I'd like to give an in-depth critique of this moveset, to suggest where I think it needs some improvements, and what those improvements might look like.

Hey, I'm really glad I could help, and already reading some of your responses I can see some really interesting potential. That suggestion for Q isn't something I would have thought of, and if you go that route I think it could make for an interesting build-around in your next rework. Even if you decide to go in a completely different direction, I'm really interested to see how this kit evolves. I'm intending to give more critiques like this for more characters in future. I think the...

I just wanted to be sure, because if I'm going to eviscerate someone's hard work, I don't want to be the bad guy. Also knowing this is an older moveset for you certainly helps take a load off my mind. I'll note that I'm not too familiar with this character, which means my suggestions will by-and-large ignore flavor and lore if it means making a more functional character, but on with the show: While the concept of taking damage to fill resources is a perfectly acceptable one, Duriel...

I have some... issues with this moveset. However, because it's harsh criticism, I'd rather ask permission before deep diving on the problems I have with Duriel. I will say that I like some of the concepts here, but I think there's a few a "not seeing the forest for the trees" issues that warrant another pass.

Well strap yourself in, because this'll be a bit of a long response. I won't be bringing up talents too much here, just the basic kit. Trait: I feel like Wisdom of Yu'lon is wanting for a more specific identity. Right now it's a soft Uther trait with a somewhat awkward vision element attached. More awkward though is the limit of only buffing two heroes, which would be fine on a Healer with single-target healing, but both of Yu'lon's healing abilities are AoE, so it's somewhat hard to be...

It's always nice to read a HotS concepts moveset where the abilities are only two-three sentences long and don't have 4 different permutations, as well as one with a fairly clear vision for what the character is supposed to play like. I feel like you have something here, especially with the ability River of Youth, as giving a healer high mobility but also forcing them to use that mobility in order to heal creates a unique dynamic. That said, I think there's room for improvement. I'd love...

Thank you! I wish I could say it was entirely my own, but it was the one thing copied wholesale from the reddit post I mentioned. As an aside, a trait like Deception is VERY hard to build talents around. Every time I thought I had a good one, I realised "wait, wouldn't this just give away the illusion?" and had to scrap it.
