As a pebble, pyromath had a curious affinity for all things related to fire and heat. By rockhood, he became absorbed in this science, and learnt how to use it for his own will, as well as how to manipulate gravity. So deeply immersed was he that he lost his own appearance and became the infernal being he is today. Though he only used his talents creatively, the Lich King, fearing an upcoming rival, marred his works, and imprisoned him by encasing him in ice. But Pyromath was not to be subdued: he escaped, and now he's back, yearning for revenge

Discussion:

Well,

firstly, i intend his appearance to be something like this:

Pyromath the Volcanic Golem

this hero is a rather active sort of intelligence hero, and the skill build depends almost totally on the kind of opposition you are up against.

though generally, if up against melee heroes, max out fiery wrath and either cosmic impact or deep fry(if stuns are not going to be helpful).

And up against rangers, and heroes who have low hp, try to max out both ranged weapons first, deep fry and cosmic impact (necessary against crixalis) first, and then go for fiery wrath, which becomes a basically farming sort of skill.

as for his item build,

aim for a final build that looks like this:

Sange & Yasha Power Treads

Radiance Linken's Sphere

Hyperstone Heart of Tarrasque

BKB is to defend you while your ultimate is on. Radiance for the farming and the added effect if you cast your ultimate. Sange & Yasha ensures they dont run away from ya, and Linken's sphere is impartant, coz you'll be using a lot of mana.

also, this hero has great synergy with chen, due to their ultimates.

his ultimate, by the way, serves the function of blinding the enemy as well:

Pyroclastic flow

your ultimate also serves as a great denying skill, so this guy farms like crazy, and you shouldnt have any problems in making the rather overkill item build.

could be slightly imba, i'd love any suggestions, so please PM me, or mail me , vipul_cat@yahoo.co.uk

nothing else i guess, so enjoy,

yours,

Vipul

Changelog:

2006-11-27: The first change is just adding of the images of him and his ultimate in the discussion area, plus i deleted a non functional {img} tag in the ultimate's description. plus, minor spelling errors. NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL HERO.

Bloody hell, a super cool hero, Only thing is that he has spells that damage allies< if u ould change it a bit this would be an awsome hero suggestion

2 By Vipul 2006-11-27

yo thanx, night strike! aboout the ulitmate,
its only 200/300/400 damage after all, and i dont think that could hurt anyone much except creeps. and it might not be a bad idea to kill one of your ally heroes if he has got really really low HP and is giong to become a free frag for the opposition. sort of hero deny. the fact that he can damage the whole map is something that makes this hero of great pracical use and he'll be good for teams the way he is. thnx for ur suggestion.

3 By Shadowinks 2006-11-27

Great storyline and skills, o the ulti might piss off some heroes, don't u think?

4 By Vipul 2006-11-27

oaky, 2 votes to 0 against the ulti.
one more and then i change it!

5 By Resistance_BG 2006-11-27

Looks like a good idea, but i too vote against the ulti. And if i were you i would change the cosmic impact dmg a bit... say 75/130/175/250 because mana cost is a bit too high for that dmg (yes i know it does stun too) well good luck from me

7 By yukino_silvermaine 2006-11-27

Question!!! WIll the last skill also affect neutral creeps?

8 By aarontay91 2006-11-27

well, how about the deep fry?? it's also damage both the allies and enemies.. it's betta onli enemies

9 By Vipul 2006-11-28

@aarontay, i'm gonna wait for a few more opinions, like i did the ulti.

@yukino, good question. no it does not.

@resistane, i'l make the changes ASAP

10 By yukino_silvermaine 2006-11-28

Aww rats. Let me rephrase. Will it affect VISIBLE neutral creeps [not counting ancients, Roshan]?

11 By canas24 2006-11-28

Nice hero, but kinda like very unbalanced(for me). Nice work though.

12 By Vipul 2006-11-28

@ yukino, sorry to dissapoint you, but its still no. for heavens sake, they get fried already!
@canas24, i'm a little bit curious as to why you call it imbalanced. that is the whole point of commenting beofre you rate it. i already knew u dint like it from the rating you gave it. the real question here is WHY? and from what angle hes imba, coz i'd love to improve him.

and @ everyone else. the ulti affects all except neutral creeps and ally heroes. n buildings ofcourse.

13 By yukino_silvermaine 2006-11-28

Ok, ok.. *sobs* XD Deep fry AoE?

14 By fire_brand 2006-12-01

Good Idea. but can you change his skill. Not to be damaging friendly unit.

15 By Vipul 2006-12-02

okay,
2 votes to none on deep fry to become a enemies-damagin-only skill.
strange coincidence, firebrand is the name i use in counterstrike!

16 By TheUltimateOne 2006-12-09

Just 3 words, Ultimate One Material!!

17 By Vipul 2006-12-11

just two words:
"thank you!"

18 By munken_micke 2006-12-12

19 By govindnr 2006-12-13

20 By Black Angel 2006-12-14

May i ask ya something?How did you get this appearance.Just wanna know.. And ,yes the ulti doesnt need to harm your allies to.But his a helll of a hero!

21 By Vipul 2006-12-14

okay, black angel, the fact is taht i created this hero in the world editro using a model file that already exist in default warcraft 3 the frozen throne. its just infernal with 255 tint for red and 0 for blue and green. after that, i screen shoted in the game. nuthin else. and thnx, by the way.

22 By destoyer_13 2006-12-21

WOW THIS GUY IS HEATING HARD MAS MALUPIT SANA KUNG SI ROSHAN ANG GAMITIN LBAN DI2 THIS GUY IS INT AND AGI TYPE MONSTER I GUESS!

23 By vlady 2007-01-06

ITS TO GOOD!!make fast dota 6.40 and add him PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

24 By kingagfp 2007-01-08

i love the story and his abilities are very creative also i love the name of the ulti sweet! i think his ulti should do more damage because its channeling

25 By Vipul 2007-01-09

why thank you vlady, milady!
and @kingagfp,"pyroclastic flow" is an actualy phenomenon, that is very similar to the skill. it is often the most devastating part of a volcano eruption, and has been know to destroy many a town or a settlement.

26 By Ephraim 2007-01-28

Cool hero, but still, the hero will create a war with no creeps with it's ultimate. I suggest the skill doesn't hit friendly units.

27 By Kamikaze j 2007-02-09

Whoa, that effect would make the map lag like hell, with all the smoke and stuff... but great hero

28 By neno08 2007-02-09

YEAH

Dude what's up with this hero. It can kill you!!! Think of this as the situation:your ally has only 2 hp and he goes running to the well, using all his skills and talents to escape from night stalker or bloodseeker or someone, and you used your pyroblahswahmuhzwah thingy to kill the stupid creeps just to save your chicken bringing a lesser clarity potion, I think your crazy. All his hopes of escaping will be gone and he might turn against you instead, or if he's playing GG client, he might f*** his mother to death, smash his PC by using the everlasting super omega ultra gamma from the ancient artifacts of the silverware that he nearly died at from steal from the baby, in short, a rubber hammer, or he might bang his head against the wall to relieve from his "headache"(works everytime, try it if you're stressed), it can be a bad hero. Instead, it may become a powerful creep-killer, PC smasher, head banger or a great motherf***er. But I'll give it a ten out ten for the story and the skill creativity and item builds. Hot hero too.

36 By OceanPwntage 2007-10-31

wow his ult is awesome

37 By cham1259 2007-11-14

Isn't 300 mana a bit too low for a 200/300/400 damage ulti??? But I like the idea though

38 By tants19 2007-11-15

Anyone can teach me how to change the colour of the unit both in picture and gameplay (like this one).

39 By Cloudzstrife 2007-12-12

I like this idea but your skills are a bit too imba. especialy ulti.

40 By muriqn 2008-01-12

i thinks that this hero is good

41 By cellvsgohan 2008-03-12

the hero is PERFECT

42 By ParaZito 2008-03-17

VERY COOL BUT HOT HERO...

43 By folechno 2008-07-22

great background story, good flavor, as well as reasonable starting stats/stat gains

fiery wrath is cool and balanced

what are the mana costs for deep fry? does it stun like LSA or just damage? if just damage, then consider making it deal more

take out the extra lvl _ for cosmic impact, also change the icon, it looks like a dick

pyroclastic flow, imba since it takes away vision for everyone (doesn't matter to you since your channeling)

maybe tone down the density so you can

44 By folechno 2008-07-22

see a little bit and then up the dmg to balance it, maybe make it affect and aoe of 1000-1500 so that it doesn't just pause the game for 8 seconds, damages your allies, not very good especially since it affects everyone

hero model is cool, like it

fiery wrath + radiance = pwnzor

how does the ulti deny? if you mean farming up the a*$ then yes, better than Wrath of Nature (furion) it's good that it doesn't affect neutral creeps but implementing that in code would be hell to program

45 By folechno 2008-07-22

since this hero is kinda mana dependent, I suggest making his stat gains more like Pit Lord (2.6, 1.3, 2.6) so that he has more mana to cast spells, arcane ring might also help

would recommend BoT rather than treads in your build so you can chase with Fiery Wrath/Immolation on to do lots of damage, with that you'd have 390 ms and be able to chase just about everyone (except the new lycan)

on the whole, creative, good flavor, needs some balancing
9/10
