Bluebeard, the notorious, yet honorable pirtate, er buccaneer, was quietly sailing the waters of the seven seas when he was mysteriously sucked into a maelstrom that spat him out into a strange new world. Upon landing, he decided to sail his craft on this mysterious river when some scurvy curs (commonly referred to as the scourge) sank his ship. Then, lo, a panda appeared and gave him some rum. Swearing undying allegiance to the strange bear, he hungers for revenge against those braggarts that had the nerve to scuttle his ship. Arrrr!

Peg Leg Toss (e)
No self-respecting buccaneer has both legs. Trenton removes his one leg and throws it at a location. The whistle the leg makes summons loyal pirates to attack the hapless victim. Affects first target hit. Slows Trenton's move speed by 20 at all levels. 1000 cast range. Pirates last 20s.
Level 1 - The further for the target is away, the more slowed it becomes, reaching a max of 50% for 5s. Summons 1 pirate.
Level 2 - The further for the target is away, the more slowed it becomes, reaching a max of 55% for 5s. Summons 2 pirate.
Level 3 - The further for the target is away, the more slowed it becomes, reaching a max of 65% for 5s. Summons 3 pirate.
Level 4 - The further for the target is away, the more slowed it becomes, reaching a max of 70% for 5s. Summons 4 pirate.
Pirates have 300 hp each, deal 40-50 damage and each have a 5% chance to stun. Have movespeed of 320.
Mana Cost: 120/130/140/150
Cooldown: 25s

Framework: Trenton bends over and detatches his leg and throws it. Whilst in the air it makes a whistling sound, the pirates rush after the leg.

Notes: Like Elune's Arrow or Meat hook. Not too imba because of move speed reduction on Trenton

Polly the Parrot (r)
All pirates have an annoyingly clever parrot perched on their shoulders, repeating everything said to them. trenton's parrot, Polly, can only remember spells cast against or on him. Cannot learn ultimtes. Spell persists until Squaak! is cast.
Level 1 - Can mimic level one spell.
Level 2 - Can mimic level two spell.
Level 3 - Can mimic level three spell.
Level 4 - Can mimic level four spell.
Mana Cost and Cooldown are the same as the copied spell. Squaak is the ability to unlearn a spell. Extra memory is a spell learnt in reseve in case the on learned is not to your liking. Squaak! appears as an icon above the normal skill. Cannot copy orb effect type spells.
Mana Cost: Dependant
Cooldown: Dependant

Framework: A loud squaaking sound is released when a spell ir learned/unlearned.

Notes: A very useful skill, allowing you to obtain some cool skills, like charge of darkness, or hook etc.

Rum Stash (n/a)
All pirates have a supply of rum secured about them. When a melee opponent attacks Trenton, some bottles crack, inebriating the the attacker.
Level 1 - Each succesive hit on Trenton increases miss chance by 5%. 35% miss chance cap.
Level 2 - Each succesive hit on Trenton increases miss chance by 5%. (35% cap). Each succesive hit slows attack speed by 4 %. (24% cap)
Level 3 - Each succesive hit on Trenton increases miss chance by 5%. (35% cap). Each succesive hit slows attack speed by 4 %. (24% cap) Each succesive hit slows enemy ms by 1% (13% cap)
Level 4 - Increases all caps by 5%, No longer succesive, 6 hits maxes out all affects.
Good duking skill, increasing surviviability
Mana Cost: n/a
Cooldown: n/a

Framework: The orange miss swirl appears above the enemies head

Notes: Not too imba, due to the fact that it is capped and gets harder to be effective as it increases

The Flying Dutchman (g)
Trenton calls upon Davy Jones, and summons the flying Dutchman to aid him in his battles.
Level 1 - Gains a ranged attack of 600 and 200 bonus hp. Gains 20 bonus damage. Gains 20 movespeed. Can take 2 allied heroes on board. Gains zero collision across the entire map excepting bases. Lasts 40 seconds. Each hero on board adds 8% chance to stun and 4 armor.

Skill Build

1 - Peg Leg Toss

2 - Rum Stash

3 - Polly the Parrot

4 - Polly the Parrot

5 - Rum Stash

6 - Flying Dutchman

7 - Peg leg toss

8 - Polly the Parrot

9 - Rum Stash

10 - Polly The Parrot

11 - Flying Dutchman

12 - Rum Stash

13 - Peg leg Toss

14 - Peg leg Toss

15 - Stats

16 - Flying Dutchman

17 - 25 : Stats

This is obviously dependant on who you are laning against, heavy nukers means more emphasis on polly the parrot, non-spell dependant heroes means rum stash and peg leg. its all dependant

Skill Synergies

Peg Leg Toss + Rum Stash = Good combo skill, allowing you to wail on enemy heroes.

Peg Leg Toss + Rum Stash + Polly the Parrot = depending on learnt skill, could be deadly, think charge of darkness

Peg Leg Toss + Rum Stash + Polly the Parrot + The Flying Dutchman = chase and kill

Items

Boots of Travel Kelens Dagger of Escape

Assault Cuirass The Butterfly

Eye of Skadi Battle Fury

I know the build above is expensive, but this is a dream build for him. The items are pretty self explanatory. BoT for spped, Dagger to blink up to units suffering from peg leg, Cuirass & EoS for tankness and slow and Battlefury for damage & regen and butterfly for damage and evade.

Best Allies

Good stunners/slowers or anyone you can nick a good spell from

Raigor Stonehoof - The Earthshaker Ulfsaar - The Ursa Warrior Rexxar - The Beastmaster Purist Thunderwrath - The Omniknight Mortred - The Phantom Assassin Bone Clinkz - The Bone Fletcher Barathrum - The Spiritbreaker Pudge - The Butcher

Note: This list is not complete, there are just too many to list

Worst Foes

Pretty much the same as above

Strygwyr - The Bloodseeker Leviathan - The Tidehunter Viper - The Netherdrake Dark Terror - The Faceless Void Bone Clinkz - The Bone Fletcher Purist Thunderwrath - The Omniknight

Thanks for checking out my hero....

Hehe very cool hero:P Nicly done.

2 By combo 2007-06-20

polly the parrot is too imba

3 By Raxxar 2007-06-20

Well, it's very nice, but i believe polly the parrot could use some work....
Also, can the heroes on the Flying Dutchman attack and/or cast spells?
If so, i don't know, but i believe it could use a nerf....
Will rate after more comments...
@Bard man: thou art summoned once again....LOL

4 By LithiumPicnic 2007-06-20

Firstly, thanks for checking out my hero idea. Heroes on the flying dutchman are immobile, just like being in a Zepplin in War 3. As for Polly, I dont think its too imba, firstly because it is dependant on team & enemies and secondly, most skills are designed to chain together, so he automatically loses that. I think it is a useful spell... also something different

5 By Raxxar 2007-06-20

Yes, if you put it that way then i guess so....(about polly)
And thank god the heroes on the dutchman are immobile, because if not, a whole team moving at extra speed will not be fun at all....

6 By LithiumPicnic 2007-06-20

LOL @ Raxxar, that would be IMBA beyond belief, no this is more of a transport skill... ie escaping or setting up some childishly fun ganks.

to make rum stash a little better maybe have it all end on the same hit. I.E 6 hits and the attack speed and miss effect is done but 13 hits until the movespeed one. Also keep polly to maybe only 1 spell otherwise I.E. copy impale and storm hammer then use peg leg skill all of a sudden enemy is down around 600 hp and stunned for 6 seconds and slowed plus he has 4 pirates bashing on him. meaning it would mean that almost no hero could escape him seriously hax. or you could copy 2 wave skills i.e. plague swarm and suddenly you can take creepwaves out instantly. There is just so much potential for that skill. Maybe nerf it so you only get 1 cast with a copied spell. Also for pegleg what are pirate helpers stats and how long is your runspeed reduced?

I like it otherwise

9 By flameseeker 2007-06-21

rofl. seriously rofl. but all that afterwards. the 1st skill is good. i lke it. Polly is simmply too cool. i refuse to say anymore. 3rd skill also very good. the ulti-extremely inventive. and lastly where is bardman when he is neede most.

10 By TA 2007-06-21

Little confusing, yet original.This ought to be a good hero if it is put on some new version

11 By LithiumPicnic 2007-06-21

@ Flameseeker... thanks dude. Thats what I was going for

12 By got milk? 2007-06-21

Omg Lmfao dude.... Seriously.... Funnier than shit (But still cool!) I my friend would love this... he loves AIMER heroes... like Potm and Pudge This hero is a laugh but also kicks ass! hes.. funky for dota but.. he's still pimp..

13 By x_HavoK_x 2007-06-21

tight

14 By Bard Man 2007-06-21

@Raxxar: LO!! BARD MAN HAS BEEN SUMMONED TO RATE YOUR HERO!!! PREPARE TO BE JUDGED BY HIS DIVINE POWER!!!

@flameseeker: Bard Man is sorry for being late. Bard Man was getting a Bikini Wax.

Peg Leg Toss: This is cool, but I've never liked Aim skills. Anyway, how long do the pirates last?

Polly The Parrot: BIRDY!! Ok, now will this copy orb Effects like Freezing Arrow and Arcane Orb?

Rum Stash: This is a great Anti-Melee skill. Do you think Bard Man could have some rum?

The Flying Dutchman: Questions.
One: How much HP does the ship have?
Two: Does the ship have the same damage as Bluebeard?
Three: Add a minor boost for having allies with you, and you'll be perfect.

Bard Man laughed when he first say this. It's a good hero idea.

15 By Shimrra_3 2007-06-22

Wow. Scary. I'm going to, as usual, rate after more comments, but, unusually, I'm going to let everyone else ask WHAT THE HELL ALL THESE THINGS ACTUALLY DO?!? I don't understand all of these I'm afraid. Nothing else to say lol.

16 By yonan2165 2007-06-22

very creative and original, keep up the good work matey

17 By khor1992 2007-06-22

wow a pirate that meets a panda
love the skills that u designed,especially"Polly the Pirate"

18 By KevinDesano5 2007-06-23

If the ship is killed, all heroes on board will die.
lolz the ship dont have life boats
its like titanic or somethin xD
6/10 nice hero but little bit of imba

19 By Going2hell 2007-06-23

Polly is insanely imbalanced with the right skills. I think it should be changed to something like a skill that will copy a spell cast on your except waaay weaker :P.
Oh yeah, and how does the Flying Dutchman work do heroes click on it too board or somthing and can it be stunned? Cause then you could get quardurple kill
Also is Trenton in the Dutchman?

20 By Tokemus 2007-06-24

HAHAHAHAHAHA omg, this hero is just too good to pass up, they HAVE to put this in DOTA, lol omg 10/10 hahahahaha.

21 By Igis 2007-06-24

the 2nd spell and ultimate are VERY IMBA

22 By Mussolini_ 2007-06-25

Im loving this hero :D

pirates rule

gj man pretty balanced

23 By drmirf 2007-06-25

very good hero,good idea...I just think the ult is too buffed...maybe 4+ armor for each hero in the boat is too much and all dying when the boat is destroyed is not a good idea...nobody would load the boat full of heros that way...dunno,that´s my idea...but good hero anyway

24 By ImmaturekId 2007-06-26

ARr. Jack sparrow be pirate AH HOY ARhhh. Davy Joneez locker !!

25 By youdienow123 2007-07-01

LOL use "Flying Dutchmen" in opponent base, tell people to get on, CHARGE THE FOUTAIN!

26 By Jyruz 2007-07-05

how do i play wid dis hero????????

27 By tastesiok 2007-07-05

wow, dota have comes into the pirates' era huh?
cool

28 By Firesky 2007-07-05

funny story XD well if he tosses his leg houldnt tht decrease hus movespeed ? and i love his ulti its a great idea with the ship awesome job but the sqwaking parrot could be detrimental in tht if u dont want to cast a spell it wastes ur mana =P

29 By JBlanco 2007-07-10

The spells that polly copies should only be like 85 or 90% as effective as the spell cast on him. Otherwise nice job.

30 By zigeo 2007-07-12

sweet, really sweet. nicely balanced and not a bad hero killer. just careful with loading heros up, care for a gank...
oh, and i think pit lord's lvl6 would work well withthe flyin dutchman... 'tp'in' to a different stop AND THEN GANKING? SWEET a must have 10/10

31 By Kamikaze j 2007-07-20

LOL jilarious...

You could learn sucide from techies lol, that'd be abit wierd. or even blade fury from jugs :X, maybe you might fix that

OH also if a hero kills the flying dutchman and theres 4 heroes onboard does he get 4kills?

32 By NovaProspekt 2007-07-21

ah yes i dont see why this hero wouldnt be good but he should lose ms if he throws his leg. maybe spongbob can give him 1 lol

Crazy Parrot!!!!!!!!!!

34 By Chival 2007-07-24

I like him alot. Could be a really cool hero to use, crazy, but really fun.

35 By Theogobbo 2007-08-07

awesome!!!!davy jones??? cool!! arrrrrgh :P

36 By AddyDaniel 2007-08-17

Nice

37 By LithiumPicnic 2007-08-20

Oh and btw, plz read, when he tosses his leg, he DOES lose 20 move points, hence the sugeested blink dagger :)

38 By War_Wrecker 2007-08-30

u should make it clear that he TURNS INTO A BOAT!!! nah he just summons it and hops on. and for the boat thingy to work u would have to all share control.
LOAD IN CHICKENS!!!!
or randomly pick up creeps!!!
i dont think u could make it heros only.

39 By kallikantzaroy 2007-09-07

boat->when destroyed allies in it appear outside as they were before boarding(no mana or hp regen) but stunned for 3 seconds.
parrot->automatically learn any target (non-orb)spell directed at the hero.with no nerfs to the spell.
leg toss->don't pirates deal too much damage ?
I like him.Still,a meelee bucaneer?that makes no sense :P
ps: my first post here ? dunno,maybe

40 By Its_A_Me_Gondar 2007-09-09

love the idea, laughed a little too :D
can the heroes use skills on the oat though? they would make the boat a gank machine. also, how do they board the boat? cause normal laod and unloa dmeans you have to chare control, and that teamwork is sometimes har dto find in a random DOTA match, any way, its a great idea!

41 By Isolated 2007-09-28

The scene will look confusing, but nice anyway

42 By Isolated 2007-09-28

The scene will look confusing, but nice anyway

43 By chukdy 2007-10-27

Wow! This will be my favorite hero if it comes out! Specially Polly the parrot! A very COOL skill! The great imitator!

44 By AXCELACCEL 2007-11-21

nice hero

45 By seifer666 2008-01-04

i'm guessing that the panda you were talking about was Mangix...

46 By Zugbar 2008-01-14

but see polly is kinda imbalanced. and i dont think many people would be keen to get on board the dutchman knowing they may die? how do they attack while on-board anyway?

its a cool idea but is it workable?
