The Challenge





Main Challenge



You must create an agility carry and/or ganker hero.
Your hero must have interskill interactions (Heroes with only high synergy and/or forced synergy will be accepted in the contest but less rewarded)


Interskill Interactions what is that ?
It is to have One active skill that has specific and additional bonus effects when cast along with, or after others of the hero's skills or it is to have two or more active skills that have specific additional bonus effects when cast along with, or after another skill. The skill(s) by themselves musn't be useless, and it's effects must be compounded by another skill.

Or said differently,

Interaction between skills means specifically that two or more of the hero's abilities effect the casting or use of the other skills when cast alongside each other. Both skills must have separate, individual issues as well. For example, Skill Q causes X effect, Skill W causes Y effect. When Skill Q is used directly after Skill W, Y effect is somehow modified by X effect.


Bonus Challenge



Give your hero at least 1 skill shot ability.
Genjuro is a Core Item on this Hero.

I added a Rule which answers your question Matz0r.



You can use a Draft of one of your hero made before contest as long as it hasn't been used in another contest and as long as you put in the title [D2L-2].




Also, did I clearly explained the interskill interaction concept?

Care for confusion between interskill interaction and Synergy or Forced Synergy !
When synergy will already be needed in a Hero Draft, Interskill interaction is a Specific Concept...

Then I think you should make a better description of what you mean. Do you mean things like Pebbles or Chippers combos? (Which is what people often understand as forced synergy, although Pebbles, or rather Tiny, started out as a bug)

My initial understanding was that the hero could be either agility OR intelligence. It seems the OP has been changed. I very much want to make my entry Intelligence. Can this be changed back please?


Melto, this wording for the skill interaction is more clear, I believe. Use this:


Interaction between skills means specifically that two or more of the hero's abilities effect the casting or use of the other skills when cast alongside each other. Both skills must have separate, individual issues as well. For example, Skill Q causes X effect, Skill W causes Y effect. When Skill Q is used directly after Skill W, Y effect is somehow modified by X effect.

Melto
05-03-2012, 04:22 AM
lol, it has never been either int or agi lol... can't you swap it to agi with an int playstyle? or it is a problem with the story,lore and your hero need to look like a mage? What about Genjuro?

Anyway thanks for your help for the definition of interskill interactions.

05-03-2012, 10:10 AM
just found this, im probably gonna enter, already have an idea, although im not sure if my synergy is that what you want... nevermind, ill see :D

btw does damp charges count as the interskill synergy?

Melto
05-03-2012, 10:31 AM
Yes, It is, even if it is more delayed I.I.

Ultimate isn't useless by itself, but casted along or before an ability, it change it's effects !
That it...

We should list all Interskill interaction of heroes in the game...

Melto
05-03-2012, 11:26 AM
:zeph:'s Tornadoes (W) + Ult (R) which grants full tornados without killing...
:drac:'s Ult (R) + Fiery Barrage (E), Spawn flame zone on each attack with ult. (need confirmation?)
:arti:'s Bunker Down (W) which give damage power to skills which giving attack damage boost (need confirmation?)
:souls:'s Ult (R) on which damage is boosted by number of souls.
:trem:'s Boris (R) which inherits Impalers (E)
:damp:'s Ult (R) which grant charge and boost other abilities's damage.
:chip:'s tar and rocket which burns the target
's flash freeze 's stun is improved by stacks frost from other skills
:wret:'s Ult which applies Haunt according to skill 1
:arte:'s dance of death which grants more charges of arcane bolt and reduce cd of arcane missile
:arma:'s spine burst released by taking armodillo damage (sides and back)
:pebb:'s infamous Stalagmite + Chuck combo which deals ~900 instead of ~600
:flux:'s skill E which swaps polarity and change effects while giving attack range.
:drun:'s Drink which boosts other abilities while healing over time
:mali:'s dual Sword which boots and change effects of his sword throw
:gaun:'s infernal instability which grants full charge to Enfeeble

Do I missed some of them?

ghnurbles
05-04-2012, 02:35 AM
Additions:
:wild:'s Wild ability affects both himself and Booboo specifically (:warb:'s affect all units under his command by comparison)
:defi:'s Power in Death, though the effect by itself is pretty negligible
:para:'s Draining Venom is applied to Infested creeps
:ello:'s Flash Freeze improves with charges from her other abilities

Removals:
:drac:'s Ult split shot + Fiery Barrage is a synergy rather than an interaction I believe (as the split shot processes all attack modifiers, not Fiery Barrage specifically)
:arti:'s Bunker Down also only synergises with his other skills, rather than interacting with them.

Melto
05-04-2012, 08:50 AM
Removal:
:defi: Power in Death which is Forced Synergy because,it is the main role of the skill in itself, the skill does nothing more than boost other abilities...

ghnurbles
05-04-2012, 09:47 AM
Yeah I put Power in Death because it does boost movespeed by itself, but like I said the effect's negligible.

Time to start on a entry or two methinks.

On another note, can the hero be a remake from one of Skyve's early contests?

I will not provide detailed score of hero draft...
I will start to code Vergil this weekend or next week.
Since for this contest there's no concrete similarities between all the heroes, perhaps i'll code some other heroes from this contest after Vergil...
Thanks alll for you participation !

Damn, wanted the hat-trick!

Anywho, this competition had a lot of great suggestions so I'm very thrilled to be that close. As for the winner:

I nod, approvingly.

Wow, I actually won? While only placing in 1 of the award categories? I wonder what happened there...

In all honesty, many thanks to Melto for hosting the contest, and for willing to code the winners.

And thanks to the Devil May Cry series AND Ultimate Marvel versus Capcom 3 for obvious inspiration reasons.

I wonder what to do now... iirc this means there are no other contests running ATM. Maybe I could work on my Dante draft some more...

The results do not surprise me. It's what happens every time the judges are actively involved in the creative process for the entries. I'll be sure to judge in future contests when possible, if only to show the other judges what true neutrality is.

So, do you think the winner should be another hero?:P

Beroya
07-10-2012, 09:26 PM
Definitely, I critiqued the first place hero far before the end of the contest, pointing out an obvious flaw in its design, to which it was never fixed. Said design flaw is a how skill 1 consumes multiples charges from skills 2 and 4.

Well, but then that is your opnium, that is valid I guess. There are other judges too, so it will be a mix of notes, and I think this is just for fun, isnt it?:P I don't know if there isn't any design that is flawless I guess, and a lot more design flaws in this competition....ca you point out a hero in this competition that is flawless?:P

It was not my job to find such a hero as I was not a judge, but I know for a fact that the one in first was not deserving of a >100%. I'd love to see a breakdown of the points, if not for what specifically the judges found so fantastic about the heroes, then to at least minimize the probability of corruption of the final tally.

Read the post at the top of the page. Melto specifically said he would publish a full rubric of everyone's hero. Probably because people will whine and ***** to him about the tiniest things.

If you want to get into a heated discussion over how flawed Vergil is then PM me. I don't think a flame war is going to go over well in this thread.

First:

I will not provide detailed score of hero draft...

Second, I'm focusing the conversation on this contest, not your hero. Someone asked, I gave a response and continued to keep the focus of the discussion on the contest. I'd still like to see the details.

1st, Whatever you will say, the rank aren't going to change.

2nd, as I said, I will not provide more about the marks, score and Scoreboard.

3rd, Awards are totally independant from the scoreboard, and are just given by appreciation of Draft...

4th, Beroya, I think You're complaining more about the fact that your hero don't have good score enough, but you hide this under, a corruption matter which doesn't exist at all...
Why would judges favor an hero over another other than?

5th, 300 isn't a perfect score, all draft here aren't perfect... none should have perfect score... a Normalization is done on, points range and the favourite hero of each judge are granted 10 extra points...

Beroya, for the next contest I would like you to be a judge, to see the work behind all this ok?

If you still have to complain, tell me what your drafts has more that the Top 5 of this contest?

Any way we could know which hero were the favorite of each of the judges?

Also, I would like to thank you Melto for making these contests and also Apostate and DrPeckers for taking the time to judge all of this.

Don't muder me!

As I said, we won't provide informations about the marks for the moment !

EDIT: If you really want to know guys, we'll not show the breakdown because, due to the unbalance of the number of hero voted by us the judges, making some of the marks biaised...
I don't want to show the breakdown only for this reason... and not for dark purpouse or that we weigthed the score...
Also, If you read well, there's 300 + 80 points, so the max is 380, plus the favourite heroes points, Normalisation can change a bit the scales of the points...
Don't worry, marks are still made to heroes according to their content and quality...
