Kh'ar Devola - Dragonspeaker Shaman

1st skill way too imba. He already has as huge starting attack speed and then to give him bonus depending on his gold, think late game dude.... nerf a little. Otherwise, very cool hero idea.

1st skill and last skill is too powerful in late game >_< almost unstoppable like Void

If you save like 5k or 10k the damage and speed would be really scary

6000gold = 120 damage. Instead of getting MkB or something, you let it sit there. It does even more damage. But wait, theres also the 120% attack speed. And the 120 blocked damage. Who needs items... way too imba. Fix, actually remove that. Theres no coming back from something like that. The rest are good if you ask me, except that the ult is exploiting aforementioned imba skill.
Channel spell - nice. I tried to make a similar spell and failed miserably, yours is good though.
Slow - nice again.
Fix this a bit and I'll rate.

looks imba to me. think about butterfly (great item for AGI heroes) - it costs 6350. Gives you 60 damage 60 IAS 30% evasion and armor. now, if you don't spend 6350 for it, if first skill is maxed, that amount of gold gives you 127 damage, IAS and block - OMG! let alone the -15 gold requirement the ulti gives you... i would suggest seriously nerfing the block damage part. so it would be more risky to walk around with that amount of gold in your pockets.
but anyway i like this - very creative. unique game play (you actually don't want to spend money). i like the ulti too - you risk succumbing to farming all game and not being a team player, but with this...
g/j for this. creativity is what makes these ideas interesting to read.

This is great for me.....

The first time I saw it, I was shocked coz this hero has a very long alias.....

Dracomancer is good.....

Hmm.It's a nice one lol...
Vote:10/10!

Hmm... Looks Like the first skill is too linear. I'll work on one with a diminishing returns formula to balance it out.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! WOW DUDE, Im sorry, but you're not serious, are you!? DUDE the first skill dosent even have a damn cap, dude, he dosent even need items to be imba, with his first skill! Think of him with 10k gold.... lmfao... Im sorry dude, but he is tooooo fuckin imba... Please fix b4 i rate... cuz if i do... it'll probly be 1/10... but, the other skills are fine, so 3/10 or maybe 4/10 but i won't rate yet.... just fix it fast.

BAD HERo 6/10
Little Details, Imba, Cheap

u can just farm all game and then kill their tower like nothing

Found a fix for the Hunger issues. Not a linear formula anymore, much less "abusable". I hope this changes your view. And thank you for the people who waited for the fix before rating.

@youdienow123:
And what details do you want to see? Skill build? Maybe Killing tactics? Too Bad. This isn't a strategy guide. I'm not spoonfeeding you. New Dota Heroes never come with a manual. Details are just hints and suggestions to get the feel of the hero and his gameplay. The rest is up to the person.

@ Kitsune
Minimum movespeed set by WC3 is 100 IIRC. Might wanna fix Roar.

On a related note.. Too bad on the nerfs on Hunger. I guess people don't know how to buy items for survivability anymore. Also.. Never knew there was a damage block lol.

@Yuki: Ooh. Didn't know that. I'll let some other people see the new changes first.

Actually it's 160 minimum MS.

It's a pretty cool hero. Like Balanar is dependant on night Kh'ar is dependent on gold. He has a pretty long alias though.

1st skill is little bit confusing but hero is a good one.

@Mikorkeza/Rambol:
It's not an alias to me, more of a title or designation. Never thought of that part as an alias.

you probably didnt need to nerf first skill as much, like maybe make it a bit better then make it a self buff for x seconds with a cooldown. still good the way it is i guess.

lol. Magic players galore.

I suggest a cap on the first skill. That would make it balanced.

@ Rambol: It's 100. Hex gives the affected unit 100 base MS. Then you add the boots and other MS-affecting skills.

@no0bifier: It wasn't really nerfed, More of balanced. I kept its original intent.

@VikiFanatic: It has a cap, just virtual. If you notice, the new formula follows diminishing returns, therefore you'll probably never get it to 100. Try plugging in 100000 gold to the formula.

@laelion: And what do you wish to imply by that? If you can't say something I can use, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself.

Hunger nerf sucessful. Despite that nobody will be able to offhandedly figure out their bonuses with it saying them on the buff (hint hint). I say 10/10.

PS. In case the hint failed: display bonuses on the buff.

Ohhh... sorry to double post (I hate that), but I just did a calculation. That diminishing formula is very good. 15,000g = 85, but 1,000,000 is 100: Store another 985,000 gold to gain 15 extra damage!!! Lol.

@Shimrra_3: Would they bother calculating such a formula in the middle of a game? And it's a bit weird placing such a formula on the tooltip. They can see immediate changes when they get a gold increase. BTW, the formula is derived based on armor/armor reduction formula. Maybe a -hungerbonus, lol.

imba on 1st and ulti.. using ulti means that if ur team has a beyond god-like player and does not need items anymore, he wud just stack on money and he'll be a non-stop killing machine.. /swt

otherwise great hero idea /no1

@lordmacon: Try figuring out how much gold you need to get to a 100 bonus, then come back to me. I already fixed this "I'll just keep money for super IMBA boosts" problem.

Well, nice about the Covetous Hunger nerf...

Nice also on the channeling spell, would require a good timing but it's good

However, don't you think that SETTING the enemy' base movespeed to 90 is a bit drastic?
I know, boots and movement bonuses still apply but you'd only get to a speed of around 150~170
That's one hell of a slow if you ask me....

Nice on the ultimate skill, team bonuses are never bad on any team battle....
Nice hero overall...
9/10

@Bard Man: I call upon thy divine rating power once more....

too nerfed...all the skills are nerfed,excepet for the ult that it´s not good,18 seconds for 5% extra gold? how many creeps can u kill in 18 seconds? anyway need to get balanced,inital atack dmg is too high for a ranged hero...change something and maybe become a good hero

i think Shimrra_3 meant to add a way for players to view the bonuses they get from hunger, not to put the formula in the tooltip. something like -fleshstr for pudge maybe?

@stoyo: I dod mention adding something like -hungerbonus or similar in my comment.

@drmirf: Hmm. You're not looking at the big picture, for the ulti. It's not really the 5% extra bounty you're looking at, It's the team benefits. Just tell your teammates to keep some cash on hand, and you're providing a super-aura. Bonuses on both attack and defensive capabilities can push towers quickly, make the deadly deadlier, and can save a life. I don't know why you feel the skills are uderpowered while the base attack is too high? See Vol'jin, Pugna as a good example of High base damage + good range. 400 isn't even really good range.

@Raxxar: Thanks for the comments. I don't see that setting the MS to a low value is anywhere different from a 50% slow, really. The skill deals no damage as well. And what is this "Bard Man" you speak of? Superhero of sorts?

LOL no bard man is just a member of DS...
Look at the other strategies and you'll find him....
And about the 50% slow thing, you said it slows EVERYONE in an AoE of 450 so it's really killer....

*strategies, I meant Hero Ideas lol
Sorry for the double post

Ok I get your point about the ultimate...really a good idea...but I dont like Covetous Hunger...of course is not a good idea to walk with 2000 gold on your pocket but if you do so you gonna hit too hard,this hero in late game would be almost impossible to kill.3000 gold would be better than a MKB,imagine that!

@Raxxar: That's all it does, though. AOE slow does exist. But most have damage. This one doesn't, compensates with area.

I don't know, because now that I think of it a 40% slow would be something like the Roar....
And the AoE gets further compensation for the fact that it doesn't slow ASPD....

this dude is pretty imba

needs fixing but looks neat

@judithlateralus:
Depending on what info you can provide to say my hero is imbalanced, I may or may not be inclined to adjust it.

just need a perma basher to kill him, attack speed would be useless. woot dragons

@Artimon:
Nearly anything without evasion can be killed by permabashers, lol.

umm... hunger's way too imba for a ranged hero...

how bout basing the Hunger on something that's harder to get than gold??

or wouldn't it be better if the guy is melee instead of ranged??

OK, you've fixed the first skill and thats all i wanted. Nj 10/10.

Well it is 10/10 because .......umm....well....because i like it? actually no. Its because i love it, simply love it.

how do u play wid dis hero????/ somebody tell me???

the shaman guy is too unbalanced

concept is REALLY good. always thouhgt a gold-dependant hero might be good in dota. but hes WAY too imba.. nerf a little and ur 'golden'














....no pun intended

should either change the first skill or, make it less powerful.. "less" powerful..

First thing I noticed, Magic the Gathering

man...about the mana cost!!!!!!!It cost very huge man!!!
The intalligent is very low too..but maybe not bad....

Meh, seems a bit Imba to me, but ok...

good i kindA like him

when will i see this HERO? in what version..

where did you got his name,,magic the gathering?right?

@vendetta003: The title, yes. The name, no.

cool hero

i like this hero!! 2nd skill is great!!"_..> 9/10

3rd skill too imba

uMM..what's imba??

very nice, i think that hunger should have a max limit though... otherwise it may turn out to be kinda imba...
nice hero anyway :)

Nice Hero Idea...
How about SnY to Kh'ar Devola..

i like the hero!
the one thing that bothers me though is that the cooldown of the ulti rises way too much per lvl
keeping it at lvl 1 may be better than lvling up
