Marcus Grim was a low-rank human rifleman until he discovered a way to create a gun that could fire off a large number of shots before having to reload. After discovering this Marcus was sent to Ironforge from Stormwind to talk with the Dwarfs and Gnomes about his new plans. The Gnomes and Dwarfs thought that they were great plans and worked day and night to try and create one, although they failed to create the gun Marcus had planned, they did created a special suit just for Marcus along with a special rifle. The suit was crafted and designed by the greatest Gnome minds, and was enchanted by the Night Elves. The gun was designed by the gnomes and crafted by the greatest Dwarf blacksmiths. Marcus kept his suit and gun for many years, having no use for them...until the scourge brutally murdered his family. After the scourge had killed his family Marcus became a nomad with nothing to live for, until he learned of the war between the Sentinel and the Scourge he joined the sentinel and vowed to destroy the Frozen Throne. On his first day during the war of the ancients, Marcus happened to find Boush - The Tinker in dire need, cornered by N`aix The Lifestealer and Bone Clinkz The Bone Fletcher. Luckily enough for Boush N'aix and Bone Clinkz had not known of Marcus and because of this the Lich King ordered them to retreat for they did not know the extent of this new adversaries power. After this incident, Boush became great friends with Marcus, crafting for him special missiles, always making and giving him tweaked versions of his own missiles. Boush was also friends with the leader of the Venture Co. and had him craft a small chain saw specially suited for Marcus. After hearing of the things that the goblins had crafted for Marcus the gnomes became jealous and made a jet pack for Marcus. Recently Boush and Marcus have been seen together on the battlefield completely decimating the Scourge with their weapons.

Rocket Pack (C)
After finding out that Marcus had been receiving things from the Goblins their bitter rivals the Gnomes built and gave to Marcus a controllable pair of rockets that would be light enough to be easily carried by even a gnome yet powerful enough to jettison him a fair distance. This Rocket Pack was also enchanted by the night elves to give the bearer invisibility when using the device.

Framework: Animation of jump is the same as tiny's toss and wind walk framework.

Notes: Your Chasing/get places faster/run away ability

The Big One (C)
While on an inventing spree (of explosives, like a true goblin) Boush the Tinker created a large explosive he called "The Big One" and put it in a very intricately designed version of his heat seeking missiles that allowed it to be launched at any point on the map that deals massive in a 500 unit diameter area. 2 second cast time. 3 second air time.
Level 1 - While on an inventing spree (of explosives, like a true goblin) Boush the Tinker created a large explosive he called "The Big One" and put it in a very intricately designed version of his heat seeking missiles that allowed it to be launched at any point on the map that deals massive in a 500 unit diameter area. Deals 375 damage.2 second cast time. 3 second air time.
Level 2 - While on an inventing spree (of explosives, like a true goblin) Boush the Tinker created a large explosive he called "The Big One" and put it in a very intricately designed version of his heat seeking missiles that allowed it to be launched at point on the map that deals massive in a 500 unit diameter area. Deals 525 damage.2 second cast time. 3 second air time.
Level 3 - While on an inventing spree (of explosives, like a true goblin) Boush the Tinker created a large explosive he called "The Big One" and put it in a very intricately designed version of his heat seeking missiles that allowed it to be launched at any point on the map that deals massive in a 500 unit diameter area. Deals 675 damage.2 second cast time. 3 second air time.
Level 4 - NA

Can be launched anywhere on map, explored or not, in sight, or not
Mana Cost: 300/400/500
Cooldown: 200/250/300

Framework: Sends a larger version on Kardel Sharpeye's Assassinate framework high into the air. From there it flies to above/near where targeted then dives towards the ground creating a large explosion, or a laser comes from the sky and hits the grounds (creating an explosion where it hit). Another framework i was considering was either a flare (similar to mortar team's from warcraft 3) or a laser that hits the ground coming out of the sky

Notes: Good for hero killing if you aim in the right spot/killing someone who escapes. Can work well with any hero's tracking ability to know when/if they reach their fountain. As soon as cast is started a voice will say to all characters: "A nuclear missile has been launched." It will also show the area that it will hit during flight time as a casting area.

Skill Synergies

Chain Saw Miniature-RPG These would be your main nukes to be used for hero killing.

Chain Saw Miniature-RPG ICBM With this you can do lots of damage in a short amount of time to almost any hero, attack them until they start running away then use Chain Saw and Jet pack to get a few more hits on them then use Miniature RPG

This should be your ultimate kill combo, attack them until they start to run away then use Chain Saw and Jet pack to get in front of them for more attacks then use your Miniature-RPG, and if they are still alive, try and finish them with your ICBM.

Helpful Heroes

Heroes that can stun - Raigor Stonehoof - The Earthshaker Tiny - The Stone Giant Knight Davion - The Dragon Knight Crixalis - The Sand King Barathrum - The Spiritbreaker Dark Terror - The Faceless Void Jah’rakal - The Troll Warlord Shendelzare Silkwood - The Vengeful Spirit Sven - The Rogueknight Bradwarden - The Centaur Warchief Lion - The Demon Witch Anub`arak - The Nerubian Assassin Aggron Stonebreaker - The Ogre Magi These guys will be very helpful since you do not have any slowing spells or chance on hits (not counting items).

Slowers and Disablers - Rylai Crestfall - The Crystal Maiden Rooftrellen - The Treant Protector Ulfsaar - The Ursa Warrior Furion - The Prophet Chen - The Holy Knight Rhasta - The Shadow Shaman Rigwarl - The Bristleback Mangix - The Pandaren Battlemaster Traxex - The Drow Ranger Purist Thunderwrath - The Omniknight Kel`Thuzad - The Lich Lesale Deathbringer - The Venomancer Black Arachnia - The Broodmother Mortred - The Phantom Assassin Medusa - The Gorgon Balanar - The Night Stalker Akasha - The Queen of Pain Viper - The Netherdrake N`aix - The Lifestealer Mercurial - The Spectre Meepo - Geomancer Dazzle - Shadow Priest All of these heroes have slowing abilities or slow people on their attacks which would help you chase and kill heroes since you have no slowing/disables yourself.

Changelog:

2007-06-16: Changed story to include Boush - The Tinker because of his relation in Marcus's abilities
2007-06-07: Changed names and information on skills but kept the same amount of damage, range etc... Changed his title (the reason it is The Human Rifleman is because most of the time you focus on and think of a Dwarf to be a rifleman/gunner).
2007-05-27: Added a slow to Chain Saw. Increased Damage by 25 to all levels of ICBM Due to many, many, many posts from people complaining that this hero was out of place in DotA, I have changed this hero's entire storyline. Changed some of the information on the skill/item/friends and foes section.
2007-05-22: I changed Marcus's Flamethrower ability to the Chain Saw ability I changed Marcus's Genetic Enhancements ability to the Jet Pack ability. I also increase Marcus's move speed and changed all of his stats by very slight amounts.
2007-05-21: Changed Mana and Cooldown information on ICBM and added information on framework for ICBM
2007-05-20: I have nerfed all of Marcus's abilities and have lowered his stat increases to avoid making him too powerful. Stat Gains - All lowered by at least .3 Miniature-RPG - Lowered range and damage. Flamethrower - Changed information on framework. ICBM (Inter-continental Ballistic Missile) - Lowered area and damage by lots, and added 2 second cast time/3 second air time. Added announcement when this ability is cast and a casting circle to show where it will land to all people on map, friend or foe.

hmmm i do think that this hero is a little bit overpowered skills are way too devasting but i like the hero idea

2 By tutu123321 2007-05-20

yerh i agree with khor1992. but nice try ! lol i couldn't do any thing better so yerh.

3 By Bard Man 2007-05-20

Bard Man is here. Now you shall be judged.

Ok, to begin with, this hero is very out of place for DotA, but I'll overlook that for now. Onto the skills.

Miniature-RPG: 325 damage AND an 800 casting range? Good lord, this is Kardel's ult at lvl 1 with a shorter range. Nerf it.

Flame Thrower: This isn't all that bad. You should nerf the begining damage a bit. You can still have the max 300, but don't start it with 150.

Genetic Enhancments: This I'm unsure of. Going melee is ok, but you should nerf the damage gain a little bit.

ICBM: WTF! Ok, so many things wrong with this. One, it negates any chance of escape,. Two, it can kill units that retreat to the fountain. Three, the Raidus is way too big. I don't know what the hell you were smoking, but damn. This skill needs to be flat out removed. It is VERY imba.

I'm a nice guy about how I rate heroes, but god damnit this is too much. Someone needs to beat this hero with the nerfin' stick. Now please... LEARN FROM THIS MISTAKE!!

4 By VikiFanatic 2007-05-20

I agree wiht Bard Man about the ulti. Do you know how large 1200 diameter units is in the map? you could practically decimate the whole team from the safest distance. That's very unfair as well... O_o

nerf it...

5 By Shimrra_3 2007-05-20

Agree with all of Bard Man's/VikiFanatic's comments. Also, stat gain? 2.2+2.8+2.0=7.0. HELL no. Lower all those by about 0.3/0.4. Then, ICMB is totally screwed up. Even a gigantic mana cost and cooldown wouldn't cover all that, and you've neglected to put in EITHER. What would be really cool is if the ICMB works exactly like the Terran Ghost's ability - down to the laser and 'Nuclear Launch Detected'. But still, NERF! LOTS!

6 By rambol 2007-05-20

Nice hero, combination of nukes and DPS.
ICBM(InterContinental Ballistic Missile) is good, it should deal instantaneous damage so enemies won't get a warning and blink away and nerf the AoE. What specifically is the AoE of the Flamethrower? And why is the description repeated in every level of the skills?

7 By Shadowinks 2007-05-20

That ulti is psycho, can destroy towers too easily.

8 By mikorkeza 2007-05-20

Barad Man, the best rater in DS. I love you man!!

Now bout the hero....

1st skill - WTF better than assasinate....
2nd skil - Like breath of fire??? 120 damage is a goood starter...
3rd skill - 40 + 20% attack speed..... YAOZA!!!
4th skill - Crap 1200 diameter, deals 700 damage...... Tinker's missiles are good but not IMBA....

9 By Bruno_89 2007-05-20

Hmm quite bad:P A good framework for ICBM whould be Flare that mortar teams fire in WC3. But remove the skill completly or nerf alot.

10 By Shimrra_3 2007-05-21

All of this looks a lot better now. ICBM especially looks good now (hah, because it was the most screwed up!), but it should have about 200/300/400 and 180/150/120 or something - 500 mana at Level 6, I just don't see that happening. Wait for another round of comments and fix again.

11 By jdc214 2007-05-21

thanks for all the comments guys (especially bard man) this is my first hero idea and i love the criticism!

12 By Krobalisk 2007-05-21

oh u got his ult idea from starcraft, where the ghost has to sit and wait for the rocket come down and explode everything, pretty cool...too imba

13 By Bard Man 2007-05-21

Bard Man has returned with more insight. Your trial show begin anew.

Miniature-RPG: This is better. Now it has a reasonable ammount of damage and a fair range. Good nerf.

Flamethrower: This skill didn't need the nerf half as much as your others, but it's still a good thing you did nerf it.

Genetic Enhancments: Good damage nerf. You should consider adding a third item build for Marcus revolving around perma-bashing.

ICBM: Didn't think you could nerf this to fair levels. Very nice, but maybe raise the damage a little. Now that it doesn't have that ungodly raidus, it seems fair to give it fairly high damage.

Sorry if I was a jerk with my last post, but heroes at a certain extent of IMBA light my very short fuse.

You don't have to edit this guy anymore, but you can keep doing it if you're a perfectionist. Either way, toodles.

14 By Bard Man 2007-05-21

Oh. Forgot one thing

Add the 'Nuclear launch detected' sound effect to ICBM.

15 By jdc214 2007-05-21

Thanks again for the comments bard man (post when i get your actual approval ) and more people post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16 By hihi123 2007-05-21

Now that the skills have been altered, I think this hero is pretty cool.. although i don't think this hero will fit in well with other heroes.

I think the skills go well with each other, and this is an overall good idea.

17 By Shadowinks 2007-05-21

Much better now. HOwever 3 pure damage skills make him uninteresting.......I'll rate now. 6/10

18 By quickbrownfox 2007-05-21

Skill 1: Generic Nuke. As in generic range, damage, mana cost, cooldown. Not even a ministun like lucent beam. the 800 or so range before might have made this better than what it is. You have bad INT anyway, so spamming early game is not very viable.

Skill 2: Breath fire. Barely any change from it.

Skill 3: I feel it's not worth the trade. below average MS + not very good STR + no disable = not very good melee fighter.

Skill 4: fair enough, 5 sec delay is going to make hitting anything difficult unless you're the type that predicts enemy escape routes, or if your opponent is extremely readable.

I'm sorry if I'm being so negative, but there seems to be a lack of creativity in this, in my opinion. Ulti is pretty much the best among your skill designs. Try to make him more interesting.

19 By `UnholY` 2007-05-22

your hero has plain damage skills. make something creative and new

20 By Shimrra_3 2007-05-22

I kinda agree with quickbrownfox and `UnholY`, totally agree with Bard Man - 'Nuclear Launch Detected' would be cool. Hmm I have set my banlist to use that as a taunt... and I've said that bit. Meh. RPG range was alright how it was but I don't care too much, Flamethrower is weak and too much like Breathe Fire, Genetic Enhancements doesn't offer very much, and I kinda agree that ICMB needs some more damage. Pretty much what everyones been saying. I will continue to wait on a rating.

21 By MAJ 2007-05-22

i don´t like this hero at all!! I hate when somebody is trying to do timetravelers with some flamethrowers and stuff!!!! anyway i agree with bard man :S

22 By Pheak 2007-05-22

well this is great!!
But I think cooldown of ICBM should be 120/180/240. You know what? I don't like to wait too long to use this

23 By jdc214 2007-05-22

I see what you mean quickbrownfox, Unholy, and Shimmra_3. What do you guys think about replacing genetic enhancements with something between a version of tiny's toss (except on self) and phantom lancer's dopplewalk ability?

24 By jdc214 2007-05-22

forgot something in last post: or between a launch and a ww (for chasing or for running, ww is so they dont see where you launch yourself)

25 By x_HavoK_x 2007-05-26

seriously people need to stop making heroes based on video game characters and movie characters....
not trying to be mean by posting this in your character but they have the preditor and someone from final fantasy
this has got to stop

26 By jdc214 2007-05-26

x_HavoK_x please keep these posts onto this hero and, i did not take this hero from a movie or video game so don't assume.

27 By jdc214 2007-05-26

x_HavoK_x one more thing. This section is for HERO IDEAS that people think would be cool. That means people could put in ideas that were from movies or video games that the think would be cool.

28 By Kodama28 2007-05-26

When did DoTA become Gears of War?

29 By jdc214 2007-05-26

Everyone...comment on what you think about the hero's abilities/what you think about them and NOT ABOUT BEING OUT OF PLACE IN DOTA

30 By jdc214 2007-05-26

Sorry I lied in my 3rd to last post. 2 of the sentences in my story were similar to a video game.

31 By Bard Man 2007-05-26

Bard Man returns again. He sees you've done quite a bit of editing.
THE JUDGING BEGINS ANEW!

Miniature-RPG: Not much change, save for the loss of 200 range. don't change it any more.

Chainsaw: Very nice skill. Doesn't have alot in the way of power. Could use a bit of buffing. Like adding a minor slowdown.

Jet Pack: Good for escaping, and for chasing. Perfect as is.

ICBM: Didn't change it. S'all good. Still think more damage would be nice.

Love the changes. Bard Man will now rate you. Hmm.... 9/10

You took a while to get this just right, but you did it.

32 By 940108 2007-05-27

where can i find this hero?

33 By x_HavoK_x 2007-05-31

dude this is practically like marcus fenix from gears of war.....the chain saw......the icbm.....its all there just switched the name and stuff

34 By elrich 2007-05-31

Ulti To Strong....

35 By jdc214 2007-06-01

x_HavoK_x this hero has 2 semi-similar things about him and Marcus Fenix from Gears of War...1. Chainsaw was a weapon in Gears of War...2. his first name is Marcus

36 By Bard Man 2007-06-01

This shall be my last message for this great hero. I won't bother listing every skill, since not much has changed.

Story: I like this a bit better. Really nice.

Chainsaw: Very good slow. The skill is now perfected.

ICBM: Sweeet. Now I'm completely happy with this.

Well You did good, man. I'm proud.

37 By Ae]Sprite 2007-06-02

His nukes are sorta all rigged. Also, how is he a "Spartan" theres nothing to do with Sparta or Spartans in his summary.

38 By Shimrra_3 2007-06-03

This looks much better than ... ages ago. The Chain Saw and Jetpack abilities are very cool in my opinion. My sole objection is the ICBM now has a five minute cooldown at lvl3, I mean what... anyway, I say 8/10

39 By kidwon 2007-06-04

Well the ult of this hero is pretty much like the one of Zeus, so striking anyone on the map isn't something bad and the hitpoint damage can be fixed so it can become reasonable

40 By jdc214 2007-06-05

Well Kidwan, two things;1. Zeus's ult hits all enemy on the map for 500ish (with scepter). 2. Marcus's ult could only hit 1 person(or none) and can be dodged, remember to to read the notes/framework on it.

41 By tundaga2 2007-06-05

A bit too modern for Warcraft???

42 By x_HavoK_x 2007-06-05

and the icbm at the end of the game to eliminate the locust is the same
the only thing different is the jet pack which wanst in gears

43 By hihi123 2007-06-05

X_HavoK_X - I have played gears of war and what they use at the end is the LIGHTMASS BOMB a ICBM is something in REAL LIFE

44 By bloody_red27 2007-06-06

I like the numbers and the story of the hero. The only thing I don't like is the names, consider changing it to match the whole "Lord of the rings" feel of War Craft. RPG, Jet pack and Intercontinental ballistic missile doesn't really fit. How bout you change it so that it'll sound more mystical or ancient. Just a suggestion. Good job by the way.

45 By jdc214 2007-06-06

Does anyone (excluding X_HavoK_X) think they have any good ideas for new names for his abilities (like blood said for more of a warcraft 3 mythical feel). I'm having a creativity block right now and cant think of anything new.

46 By wourmis 2007-06-11

cool hero especially ulti man......can target dudes even when they r not aware of it like a nuclear assault

47 By x_HavoK_x 2007-06-11

Dude face it he is way to similar to Marcus Fenix. Icbm and lightmass bomb still are way to similar and i agree with Kodama28 "When did DoTA become Gears of War?" Plus the picture is SCREAMING MARCUS FENIX. I would rather see more hero ideas that are much more original than making one what looks completely like a videogame/movie guy

48 By jdc214 2007-06-11

OK guys but X_HavoK_X is really pissing me off...LIGHTMASS BOMB WAS DETONATED ON TOP OF A TRAIN AND DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. AND WTF WHO CARES IF HIS ICON LOOKS SIMILAR TO MARCUS FENIX STFU DUDE AN NEVER POST ON THIS AGAIN. and X_HavoK_X I SUGGEST LOOKING AT A HERO BEFORE SAYING ITS A VIDEO GAME CHARACTER.

49 By jdc214 2007-06-11

AND X_HavoK_X WTF WHO IS KODAMA28?!?

50 By rixpie 2007-06-12

Can you say Gears of War with me ehheh!!
love ths skills

51 By Raxxar 2007-06-12

I'd like to add a little something...
Since you put Boush the Tinker in every one of his abilities, why isn't he in the story?
Lol just a suggestion though, the hero is really good

52 By jdc214 2007-06-12

Come on guys! Keep posting on what you think could make it better (excluding X_HavoK_X) and I will update it after another round of comments! (including Raxxar's suggested update).

53 By x_HavoK_x 2007-06-13

look in the comments for kodama28 ull find him and i still agree with him

54 By Raxxar 2007-06-15

Yay! Thanks for taking my suggestion!!!!

55 By signum30 2007-06-16

skills is unbalanced, wow the lvl 3 skill that slows enemy 40% is too mush way powerful

56 By pearboy11 2007-06-16

this isn't the human rifleman... it's the human explosive!

57 By jdc214 2007-06-16

Thanks for finally commenting guys. I'll update it now and to signum30 Chain Saw is his second skill AND 40% is not too much when you think about it, compare Chain Saw to the Drow Ranger's Frost Arrow ability, with a 40% MS slow AND a 20% attack speed slow that in fact is re-applied every time an attack lands, including the fact that she is ranged. So please, before you complain about this think about the fact that there are abilities far more powerful than it that are already instituted into DotA. (and as far as the one person who continually complains that this hero is somehow similar to the main character from GoW, Gears of War, I will not be responding to his comments anymore.

58 By boredguy 2007-06-22

WAT IN THE WORLD! this is insane... the skills are too much but the idea is interesting

59 By ryanwk 2007-06-22

i m looking forward for this hero hope they will create it

60 By Tomas0113 2007-06-26

LOVE THE BARDMAN! I Love him Rating some heroes and his good suggestions! Actually, I was been spectating the whole year I looked at it and lol, Bard Man, You're the BEST!

Ok
Looking at this hero he seems like Marcus Fenix BUT he is a lot less Imba than most heros and he isn't exactly like him.
He does have similarities as some people pointed out.
I like this hero BUT I think the windwalk during the jump and 7 seconds after the jump is a bit too long. It is the ultimate escape tool. Nerf the time after the jump because PotM only gets a movement boost not invisibility.
Invis > -ms boost
That is my only suggestion but other than that I think it is a good hero.

Job Well Done

The story is crappy, not lie it matters, but don't stop reading here, I have nice things to say.

Okay now more serious stuff.
His first ability seems pretty dull, I'm not creative so I don't now what to suggest. Maybe a DoT? Or it can split off into smaller 100 damage rockets after hitting the initial target...idk.

2nd skill is a really good idea imho. I'd advise a change in the description, less with the WoW references, more with the calling it a saw blade because that's what it is ;D

3rd sill is great, sounds like a 2nd grader was explaining it though. "He got some rocet boots from some little midget guys, and then purple hippies made him invisible, it was super cool and stuff."

Ultimate, it needs a damage nerf, maybe 500?

P.S. - He has an unhealthy relationship with Boush.

67 By evoblade 2007-08-27

Hey cool story! but stop putting the story in every level because it's too confusing. Hey, his ulti the big one is like zeus's ultimate, it's pretty cool because it also deals damage in aoe. WOW!

nice hero

71 By Cloudzstrife 2007-12-06

yeah a bit too strong. espeically his ulti cause it would be too strong of a last hit.

I'm new to half of this, but how about (as everyone is basically saying) swap "The Big One" with a flare rocket.

The flare rocket has a light up AoE of about 500 - 1000. It stuns the enemy for about 1 - 3 (depending on level) and slows down movement speed 10% - 30% (again depending on level).

Is that better? Or not? But then again, maybe the swap is not needed?

lol the builds you showed are almost impossible to get late game, but good hero

74 By BadgerKW 2008-01-11

Actually the ulti is not as imba as every1 thinks cause it has a 300 second cd at lvl 3 and if u miss it..well u gotta wait a LONG time to use it again.
