Most people know baseball player Lou Gehrig (who yes, as a hero would be condensed into one word). He is an amazing man and would make an intricate hero. He may be renamed for legal purposes if chosen.

Ability 1 - Batting Practice - Big Lou spends 76 hours a day in the batting cages, honing his strength and precision, giving him a chance to hit enemies in their soft spot. ADDS: + 4/8/12/16 % base damage and 2/4/6/8 % crit chance.

Ability 2 - Catchers Glove - Lou comes fully equipped with baseball accessories. His catchers glove, how ever, contains magic forces that allow him to absorb harmful spells and use them to heal himself. ADDS: 3/8/12/20% chance to absorb spell, healing for 15/25/35/45% of the spells damage.

Ability 3 - Shortstop - Lou's time on the diamond has finally payed off. His extensive time training for rapid recovery as a shortstop allows him to move quicker then most would think. ADDS: On Use: +25/35/50/65 move speed for 3/4/5/6 seconds.

Ability 4/Ulti - Home run Derby - Lou unleashes his inner beast, striking as ferociously as possible with his bat. This causes little damage, but stuns enemies for a long while. ADDS: On Use: Stuns target for 6/10/14/18 seconds.

Definitely needs some more thought. First ability is a tried and true, no frills ability. The second ability is a pretty decent idea. The third ability definitely needs to be an escape ability, but I think something more creative could be used there.You do realize you suggested a possible 18 second stun, right? If a stun was to last that long, you would need some cool gimmick to break it. Like mash a button combo or something to break out. Or teammates can make a certain dmg threshhold on you to break out.

agreed. 18 seconds is rediculously long now that i think about it. maybe make it a global stun, like vindi or thunderbringers ulti*, but only for 5 seconds at max rank?

He should have some sort of ability to cripple other heroes.

Do you realize how ridiculously cheap this hero would be?

Yes, i do. But having the ulti nerfed, and adding unit walking to his speed booster, giving him an escape, would balance it fairly well.
