Booboo, was raised by ghouls who had found him after raiding a human settlement. They offered him to their lord, Kel'Thuzad and he imbued the child with dark powers in hopes that he could live among the scourge and eventually become a great necromancer. Only a year later the war began between the sentinals and the scourge. Booboo with no one to watch over him was often found wandering on the battle field causing those warriors of humanoids races to helplessly falter in the face of his child-like purity. Only soon after did they find out that he was no mere child and many that witnessed his intense horror could never speak of him again for lack of memory due to the concussions they recieved or for lack of a mind with which to remember. The scourge soon discovered this child's power and he is now employed as a decoy while they rip their foes to shreds.

Rattle Strike (K)
BooBoo use his demon bone rattle to strike at his opponents head causing momentary brain damage base on the opponent's intellect.
Level 1 - Deals 50 damage to the target and causes them to take bonus damage equal to 30% of their total intelligiance.
Level 2 - Deals 100 damage to the target and causes them to take bonus damage equal to 60% of their total intelligiance as well as a 1 second silence.
Level 3 - Deals 150 damage to the target and causes them to take bonus damage equal to 90% of their total intelligiance as well as a 2 second silence.
Level 4 - Deals 200 damage to the target, causes them to take bonus damage equal to 120% of their total intelligiance as well as a 3 second silence.
Mana Cost: 60/120/170/200
Cooldown: 13/12/12/11

Framework: Image would be a small death bolt.

Notes: Good for countering early game nukers to make this hero viable for any lane.

Impressionable (I)
As BooBoo is a baby he is very impressionable. Enemies in a 280 AOE, in an effort to limit violence around a baby, purposfully miss attacks and attempt to shed less blood by doing less damage.
Level 1 - Causes all enemies in a 280 AOE to lose 5% attack damage and to recieve a 10% miss chance.
Level 2 - Causes all enemies in a 280 AOE to lose 8& attack damage and to recieve a 15% miss chance.
Level 3 - Causes all enemies in a 280 AOE to lose 11% attack damage and to recieve a 20% miss chance.
Level 4 - Causes all enemies in a 280 AOE to lose 15% attack damage and to recieve a 25% miss chance.
Mana Cost: Passive
Cooldown: Passive

Framework: Works like a passive howl of terror, the howl of terror effect could show on enemies affected by this aura.

Notes: Good for evening the late game playing field between casters and physical heros.

Tantrum (T)
Booboo becomes enraged and begins kicking and screaming causing his enemies in 350 AOE to try and console him by coming close to him. He then proceeds to beat all enemies within range.
Level 1 - Booboo screams and all enemies focus on him and move towards him. Enemies within melee range take 30 damage per kick he sends out. The effect lasts 4 seconds and he lets out a scream every 2 seconds to attract new foes then he kicks all nearby enemies every 1.5 seconds.
Level 2 - Booboo screams and all enemies focus on him and move towards him. Enemies within melee range take 50 damage per kick he sends out. The effect lasts 5 seconds and he lets out a scream every 2 seconds to attract new foes then he kicks all nearby enemies every 1.5 seconds.
Level 3 - Booboo screams and all enemies focus on him and move towards him. Enemies within melee range take 80 damage per kick he sends out. The effect lasts 6 seconds and he lets out a scream every 2 seconds to attract new foes then he kicks all nearby enemies every 1.5 seconds.
Level 4 - Booboo screams and all enemies focus on him and move towards him. Enemies within melee range take 100 damage per kick he sends out. The effect lasts 6 seconds and he lets out a scream every 3 seconds to attract new foes then he kicks all nearby enemies every 1 seconds.
Enemy heroes become uncontrollable (movment wise) until they reach Booboo. Blinking and escape spells release them from the spell.
Mana Cost: 80/120/160/200
Cooldown: 34/30/26/22

Framework: Booboo stand in place and emits a howl of terror at the sream intervals then at the kick intervals he performs a variation of a bladestorm.

Notes: This spells is good for many reasons. First for helping allies escape by attracting enemies and second by making for a good late game aoe in big battles.

Dark Wail (W)
Booboo releases a demonic wail that scrambles the brains of all enemies in his AOE and confuses them so much so that they can't move their legs. Enemies near to BooBoo take great damage as well as being immobalized.
Level 1 - All enemies withen 600 AOE of BooBoo are imobalized for 2 seconds and slowed by 50% for the following 4 seconds. Enemies within 200 AOE of BooBoo take 240 damage and have their speed reduced by an additional 10%
Level 2 - All enemies withen 650 AOE of BooBoo are imobalized for 3 seconds and slowed by 50% for the following 5 seconds. Enemies within 220 AOE of BooBoo take 290 damage and have their speed reduced by an additional 18%
Level 3 - All enemies withen 700 AOE of BooBoo are imobalized for 4 seconds and slowed by 50% for the following 6 seconds. Enemies within 250 AOE of BooBoo take 340 damage and have their speed reduced by an additional 25%
Enemies in the area that takes damage are set to attack BooBoo.
Mana Cost: 300/370/420
Cooldown: 140/160/180

Framework: BooBoo screams and Shock waves disperse to the North, South, East, West, NW, SW, NE, and SE of Booboo.

Notes: This spells could help trap a group of enemy heroes while BooBoo's allies mow them down.

Discussion:

BooBoo Discussion:

BooBoo is meant to be a supporting hero. All of his moves are made to counter enemies while oppening a window for his allies to move in for the kill. All of his skills synergize in different ways allowing for a few interesting combos. On top of being a tank of sorts ,due to his large taunts, he is a melee agi hero so he doesn't need to chase his foes to get them into range of his powerful attacks. Also, because of his affinity for agility he gains damage and armour simultaniously which is good because he will often be the center of attention in battles. Aside from is impressive attributes he is able to counter over powered early game casters and late game melee.

Skill Synergies:

Tantrum and Impressionable form a powerful combo because they attract nearby enemies but prevent a large % of their attacks from landing and those that do, do much less damage. On top of that, at high levels this combo deals large amounts of damage.

On top of the first combo when you add in BooBoo's ultimate Dark Wail your opponants take extra damage and are stuck within range of your Tantrum so they are forced to recieve at least 2 waves of kicks at max level.

Rattle strike is beneficial to any of these combos because it prevents people with escape spells to use them and gives you time to get into range to cast Tantrum or Dark Wail. As well as this it helps to gank or disrupt casters all throughout the game. This also compensates for them not getting into range of your Tantrums.

Items that would be recomended for this hero are:

Early Game:

Going on the assumption that you are in a 5v5 game.

You can get any early tanking items such as:

To help with you survive early tantrums.

ANY LEVEL BOOTS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR GETTING INTO POSSITION TO PLACE YOUR SPELLS BECAUSE THEY ARE LOCATION SENSITIVE. DON'T GET BOOTS FIRST BUT GET THEM EXPEDIENTLY.

Mid Game:

You will want to have some of the following:

To protect your during tantrums.

For health/damage bonus as well as being able to activate avatar while you are undergoing a tantrum so that ranged stuns cannot interrupt you.

You should also be working on

for the extra evasion.

Late Game

Now you should have the above listed items or at least 3/4

If you have the assets you should get:

and if time and money permit then obtain Mekansm

for the heal and armor bonus and upgrade your

up to

These are just suggested items so you could choose to replace any of these with more strength depending on the game but you will be taking little damage with higher armour and your aura so the health cap of this hero and the bonuses from items should suffice. You will also be dodging a lot which means less health is needed.

Hero Syngergies:

This hero synergies with most heros and can be very helpful to heros who have to get close to cast strong spells but have difficulty landing them without the enemy moving. Some heroes that he will greatly help are the following.

All of these heros have strong aoe's that they emit from themself so they need to get close ot active them but this is difficult with fast moving enemies. BooBoo's abilities cause him to be able to facilitate these heroes attacks more effectively.

DANGERS!:

Melee heros that should be avoided by this hero are the following:

All of these guys can take him out without breaking a sweat because their specific powers are not impeded by his aura and even if they are they can massively disable BooBodoo without dying. Abbadon Axe and Anub'Arak don't do this exactly but they can all passively retaliate to BooBoo's attacks and harm him in that sense.

Most ranged heroes are dangerous with regard to BooBoo because of their large range they negate his spells if they can escape between screams.

Heros that BooBoo eats for dinner:

These guys all rely on being near their enemy and so does BooBoo and so he can deal out damage at a much greater rate while disrupting their combot abilities to prevent them from harming him too badly.

Conclusion:

As it must be clear now, BooBoo isn't going to be doing much solo pwnage but he can open up the door for his allies to release a world of hurt on his enemies while he keeps them locked in place. BooBoo would be put to use as a disruption tank whos presence causes mayhem on the battle field.

Rattle strike is weak. VERY WEAK. Suggest boosting the percentages to 50/100/150/200. Impressionable.. Hmm good enough. Lessen Tantrum manacost. Dark Wail.. Nice. Very nice. I like this hero!! XD

2 By BashUmDead 2007-02-09

im so glad that you liked him ! I though he would be percieved as a joke.

3 By Shimrra_3 2007-02-09

Ditto everything Yukino said. Ummm, possibly increase the stat gains, I mean, 12 base as well... still cool.

4 By quickbrownfox 2007-02-09

Rattle Strike: Buff to 30/60/90/120% of intelligence in bonus damage. 10% is bonus 10 damage to a 100 int hero. Make it do 0/1/2/3 seconds silence as well. the mana cost is pretty steep anyway. Impressionable: fine as it is, AOE is fair enough. Tantrum: lasts too long. reduce to 3/4/5/6 seconds, scream every 2 seconds, kick every other second for 110 damage. Exposing the enemy to the tower for 14 seconds is overkill. Dark wall: A steep increase in cooldown to 140 seconds is needed (see black hole, reverse polarity for comparison). Reduce slow time to 4 seconds after being immobilized. Stats: Fragile for balance, make the initial STR at 15, or else you will go home a lot early. Being melee is too much punishment. 350-400 range is fine. Flavor: Cursed kid disables the battlefield with his childish whims. lol. Overall: Aside from some balance issues, I think it's pretty good.

5 By BashUmDead 2007-02-09

LOL , i realised as i was leaving for school that i fixed the wrong numbers >

LOL , i realised as i was leaving for school that i fixed the wrong numbers >

7 By BashUmDead 2007-02-09

oopies..double post, just fixed all should be more balance now.

8 By quickbrownfox 2007-02-10

Pretty steep cooldown now for Dark wall. 140/160/180 seconds is fine

9 By BenjiMan 2007-02-10

its ok nice pic

10 By jake-the-mus 2007-02-10

WTH? Rattle Strike is not weak.... Image silencer late game? You could deal maybe 500 damage to him and this hero is Agil. Maybe a cap would make it balanced.

11 By quickbrownfox 2007-02-10

@Jake: Nope. what's 120%of say ,200. 240 Right? and 240+200 is not 500+. Also, Lvl death can deal 500 damage.

12 By a*kiichi 2007-02-10

cool

13 By shadowmastermk47 2007-02-10

Nice hero but.. Change the name and title of your hero to make it real cool, the name and title sounds pretty corny. No offense, man. @myself - > where in hell's name is my hero?

14 By Shimrra_3 2007-02-10

Seems even better now. Umm, sorry to change the subject, but how can you make changes and get your guy to still be here soooooo fast? When I did that my guy went back to pending...

15 By Firesky 2007-02-10

Up rattle strike just a lil maybe 25-50 points here n there and impressionable its fine but since its passive wayyy 2 imba nerf % alot if its passive or keep it and have it as a castable spell except for unbalance of skills its very nice synergy =)

16 By BashUmDead 2007-02-10

Heh i am surprised at how quickly my guy is coming back, i always submit changes lat at night maybe im doing it right before they check the list of proposed guys. And thanks for the props.

17 By SLayerS[High] 2007-02-14

very nice concept. i like it.

18 By blairdude 2007-02-14

Terrific hero theme!

19 By BashUmDead 2007-02-14

Thanks for the kinds words

20 By Ghosty 2007-02-15

cool hero i am sure that he will get a lot of votes and go in battle

21 By Ae]Sprite 2007-02-15

Nice hero like Yuknio said hes Rattle Strike is very weak, improve it.

22 By BashUmDead 2007-02-16

i improved that skill already , if u calculate it out it only really weak at level 1 after that it is pretty balance, but it ia too good to make stronger at level one or it might be imba .

23 By kothariakhil 2007-02-18

Cool hero. Gives me a great impression of what a kid is like (screaming and hitting). Nice job!

24 By Uros 2007-02-18

Spooky and cool hero!

I like this hero its pretty good. But fix it more.

27 By hiromico 2007-02-23

Cool Hero Idea...... who would ever imagine a baby can annihilate every single hero in his path..... Skills are well thought of.... malufet talaga (very cool)

28 By The.Raven 2007-02-25

i think this hero is imba... do the tantrum then ulti = 100% at least double kill and with blink dagger. it's Triple kill with less then 30% health loss on this kid..

29 By Envoker 2007-03-13

XD its a good one but nid to fix skills so it wont be weak or imba

30 By BashUmDead 2007-03-14

What heros would stand arround and take the attacks? And the ultimate is not imbalance, it's an ULTIMATE it should kick arse or else it would be a normy skill. also saying that i would get a triple kill with good items doesn't make sense because even weak int heroes with gear matching that of boo boo would have more health than his spells so they could definitely run without getting killed, they would have to stay and fight to die.

31 By Percee P 2007-04-14

needs a few balance fixes, other than that great concept

raised by ghouls lol

32 By 7_Seas 2007-04-16

Rattle strike seems too powerful IMO...

It could probably 1-hit the obsidian destroyer.

33 By nunuzac 2007-05-19

perfect for obsidian...

34 By tritonmarks 2007-06-12

this is a pretty hilarious hero..

35 By chickenheap 2007-07-07

lol cool hero is the most childish of all the taverns it would be funny if he was like 1/2 an inch tall on the monitor and was holding a teddy bear =p lol nice job

36 By tiberiumlord 2007-07-17

This is such a funny idea, especially Tantrum and Impressionable!

37 By Floor 2007-07-30

The first spell image looks a penis.

38 By brutal pitbull 2007-08-07

good skills..

39 By AddyDaniel 2007-08-11

i like this hero.. :D Nice skills :P

40 By kubetamax 2007-09-20

tantrum is cute nice!

41 By OceanPwntage 2007-10-23

lol rattle is still a lil weak maybe 75, 125, 175? everythin else good

42 By Lukus[YnD] 2008-01-03

LOL! I certainly percieved this as a joke. As reasonable as the hero sounds I somehow just cant see myself playing this hero. Impressionable is rather op, 25% miss is huge, Only because it is in an AOE. If it was 25% miss on booboo only... then perhaps, but the AOE makes it huge.

43 By ripperdota 2008-01-21

Nice idea ...but rattle strike could have been better

44 By d000d000 2008-02-23

ssssssstupid heroeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

45 By Canaryman1 2008-07-26

I very tis hero

46 By folechno 2008-08-14

change the giant list of icons so that it doesn't distort the page

very nice background story

his base stats and stat gains are very low, you should buff all of them, he will die easily to 1-2 nukes

47 By folechno 2008-08-14

sorry, accidently hit submit button

also, his ms should be increased and his base attack speed should be made faster (somewhere 1.3-1.5)

Rattle strike could be really powerful mid to late game, but it is balanced out by costing so much mana, is the bonus damage magic damage, physical damage, chaos damage, or pure damage?

Impressionable is fine, you might nmake the aoe 300, slightly larger and a round number but 280 is fine

tantrum is a cool spell, 6 seconds is a long time though

48 By folechno 2008-08-14

would suggest lowering the time for all lvls, perhaps 2.5/3/3.5/4, mana cost is fine, when the hero gets to BooBoo, can they do anything or are they completely disbled? si this a channeling spell or can he move around or attack or cast spells during it?

dark wail is another cool effect, the mana cost is a little high imo as is the cooldown, suggest having the cooldown reduce as it lvls up

he is not a tank, he doesn't have the hp or the armor nor defensive skills for that

350 range is

49 By folechno 2008-08-14

ranged, not melee

he can counter early game casters decently but the bonus damage from his rattle strike won't be very much up till mid-late game

skill synergies are fine

items will depend on the skill build, mine would be
BR 1/3/5/7
I 17/18/19/20
T 12/13/14/15
DW 6/11/16
Stats 2/4/8/9/10/21-25
bone rattle is the only useful skill early game since he won't have enough hp to tank damage so tantrum is out of the question, the impressionable aura probably won't help either since it

50 By folechno 2008-08-14

will only be affecting melee attacks and what he will get killed by is going to be ranged attacks or spells, since it is % based it will do much more during late game

you might consider leanring the other skills earlier and just take out some stats, but stats at lvl 2,4, and 8 are necessary for his survival imo

so with that skill build, I would get 1-2 bracers, rush vangaurd, then he shoudl be able to tank some damage and disable people so he dps heroes can kill them

BoT over treads

51 By folechno 2008-08-14

since he won't be attacking and the extra ms will allow him to place tantrum and dark wail easier

my previous skill build was against all heroes, even though rattle strike will be better against int heroes, it is still his only nuke and he won't have enough hp to abuse tantrum so it is the best skill for him to get early game imo

BKB is good so you don't get disabled (but if the spells aren't channeling hen it won't matter, if there spells are supposed to be channeling you should mention

52 By folechno 2008-08-14

that as it is pretty important)

Mekansm would be a decent item but he won't really have the mana to abuse the heal so Vanguard is better in this case

vlads is a nono since he is ranged and the other benefits can be better gotten from other items

butterfly would be good in general, not jsut for the evasion

radiance is not the best item for him, it would be better and a more bulky tank

shiva's guard might be a nice item since it gives more armor and int so he can use his combo more

53 By folechno 2008-08-14

cuirass might also be an option as it will help your team mates as well as yourself

also a blade mail would be good if the enemy can attauck you during your tantrum

separate allies into group, the aoe group (those who use him to position their own aoe spells or people who use aoe to set up his ulti [Reverse polarity gets them close to him so they take the dmg]), chasers (or people who benefit from being close to the enemy [lugg, Leschrax]), Necrolyte (2 weakening auras means no damage)

54 By folechno 2008-08-14

enemies are combo heroes (he won't be able to do anything and he can't stop nukes)

melee heroes aren't that hard becasue they will be affected by the aura, permabashes might be a problem though but the miss % will help you, as will the evasion from bfly

those heroes that he can "eat for dinner" will probably kill him, 2 are tanks that don't have a lot of int so his combo won't do very much to them, also pudge will combo you and you will be disabled the whole time so you can't stop it

55 By folechno 2008-08-14

mortred won't really care about the dm reducing aura since her 4x crits will be a lot, also she attacks really fast so even with the miss aura he can still dps on him

for your builds, please see my above comment about my build

Booboo seems to be an agi suporter, an unusual rele, so props for creativity, his abilites are unique (the ulti is kinda like Requiem of Sould though), needs a little more balancing
8/10

Cool Pic!
is that rattle a DILDO?
the 25% miss aura is a bit imba
i giv u a 10!
