Shadow-The Shadow

Shadow-The Shadow

Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2007 10:16 am

A ghastly being living before the defense even began, Shadow is a terrifying thing to meddle with. His origins are unknown, his true name, unknown as well. His motives are also unknown, but he sided with the Scourge. Now, with Shadow on the Scourge, the Sentinel may have finally met their match.

Death Bed(B)
Shadow calls forth a series of dark explosions on a target area. Units, friend or foe, will take damage per second when in the area. Enemy units will get stunned for .50 seconds every 1 second when inside the area. Doesn't affect Shadow. Lasts 15 seconds. 450 AoE.

Framework:Like Pugna's Netherblast art, but color black.
Notes:A great way to stop those escapers.

Shadow Surge(G)
Fills a target with great power, causing damage but increasing or decreasing attack speeds. If the target's a foe, it will be damaged but it will have reduced attack speed. If it is a friend, it will take small damage and increased attack speeds. Lasts 6.5 seconds.

Framework:Like Doombringer's LVL death art, only color black
Notes:A great way to boost/decrease units' attack speeds.

Possession(N)
Shadow has the power to take control of any hero, friend or foe. Shadow completely takes over a target enemy or ally hero. The player controlling Shadow can control the possessed hero. The player controlling the possessed hero cannot control his hero and will be disabled for some time. When a hero is possessed, the player can use all the spells of the possessed hero, will acquire the hero's current life and mana, will gain the level of the hero and can use or will be granted item bonus. If the possessed hero dies, Shadow will die. Gold earned when a possessed hero is killed will be doubled, since Shadow is still inside. If you possessed an enemy hero, your allies will become your enemies and your enemies will become your allies and vice versa if you possessed an ally hero. If the spell's duration is over, Shadow will come out of the hero. The player controlling the hero after Possession can now control his hero. Shadow will have his items, level, life and mana return to normal after Possession is over.
LVL 1:Lasts 4 seconds
LVL 2:Lasts 5 seconds
LVL 3:Lasts 6 seconds
Cooldown:250 seconds
Manacost:350/450/550
Framework:Shadow turns green and goes inside the target hero. The possessed hero will turn into the color Shadow is.
Notes:If a hero dies while Shadow is still possessing him, it will count as a double kill since Shadow is still inside. This skill is a great way to escape death or pull back enemies running away. Maybe a way too imba I think. Do you?

A few of your skills seem to be made for denying hero kills since tey can hurt allies. Hmm... Bard Man thinks you should increase the attack speed boost for Shadow Surge since it hurts allies as well as helps them.

Shadow Pulse is nice. Good for farming and anti-gank.

Deathbed is a little imba... cast it and then posses an enemy and just stand there. Boom. You could get away with a double kill easy.

And for Possession itself... It's ok. Borderlines Imba, but it's not so uber WTF strong that everything would be ruined.

Hahahahaha goblin techies and their suicide makes possession imba.....oh wait, that kills shadow too. Nevermind...

Edit:i agree with bardman. Haha possess then attack roshan...oh wait takes too long...possess a guy really close to your tower, and bring him past it onto your side. He will take so much damage from your skills and the tower that he dies. That should work. Nice...

Shadow Pulses is great, Death Bed duration is too high otherwise fine, Shadow Surge is cool, but I dislike Possession a lot. Thats just one of those barriers you don't cross when making heroes - control of another hero. I see you've balanced it but I still disagree with that overall.
