New Hero Idea - "Baccala, The Salty Stalker"

Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 6:25 am

OK awesome idea for a melee hero...read through it all so you can fully appreciate my genius. Feel free to make comments after you read through it all.

Name Origin: For those of you who dont know, Baccala is Italian for "dried cod".

Appearence: If anyone remembers magikarp... Baccala would look like that, only cyan...and with some added mystery.

This hero does not have any category (STR, AGI, or INT). He is in his own class, PWN which makes him imba when in the right hands...

strength starts at 20
agility starts at 20
intelligence starts at 20
damage starts at 11

skill 1:
"Silencio" - When targeted on an enemy hero, it does not allow that person to use chat but instead enables you to chat as him to the targeted hero's team. Use your time wisely to do the ultimate trash talking or intercept vital enemy battle plans. OR, if casted on a allied unit, it does not allow that pesky ally to chat to you.
level 1: lasts 30 seconds Manacost: 10 mana
level 2: lasts 40 seconds Manacost: 9 mana
level 3: lasts 50 seconds Manacost: 8 mana
level 4: lasts 1 minute Manacost: 7 mana
Cooldown: 20 seconds

skill 2:
"Pick-pocket" - Clones an enemies best item (determined by price OR best overall utility) and puts the newly clones item in your inventory. It is, however, only a ghost copy and will disappear from your inventory after the specified duration. The ghost item will follow you as you use Switcheroo (his ultimate). Cooldown changes with each level.
Manacost at all levels: 15 mana
level 1: lasts 30 seconds Cooldown: 40 seconds
level 2: lasts 50 seconds Cooldown: 66 seconds
level 3: lasts 90 seconds Cooldown: 101.4 seconds
level 4: lasts 120 seconds Cooldown: 133.33 seconds

skill 3:
"Wet-Dream" - PASSIVE ABILITY
Lets you view the entire map without fog of war, allows you to see any heroes who are invisible, and finally, shows a giant red tail fin symbol over any hero who is using map hack. Each level increases movement speed, and stacks movement speed from the previous level.
Level 1: +50 movement speed
Level 2: +60 movement speed (total +110)
Level 3: +70 movement speed (total +180)
Level 4: +80 movement speed (total +260)

Ultimate:
"Switcheroo" - Sensing how low his damage is and overall bad stats, The Salty Stalker switches you and a targeted enemy OR ally hero. This means complete swap for the duration specified. The swapped unit does get the Silencio and Pick-Pocket abilities but not the Wet-Dream ability. Wet-Dream is applied to your newly swapped into hero. When the duration ends, you swap back but the target unit takes 200 damage.
Manacost for all 3 levels: 50 mana
level 1: lasts 60 seconds
level 2: lasts 120 seconds
level 3: lasts 180 seconds
Cooldown: 2 minutes

as for all skill animations, I am unsure. I am pretty sure for Switcheroo the animation should be a giant spring that propels both heros up in the air and switches their locations; Spring "bong" sound included. Other than that, all ideas are welcome. [/img]
