Hero Teaser: The Ravenor

[Pandaroohoo]

​The souls of the damned suffer eternal torments in the hells ruled over by the Daemon Lords. The administration of such torments are left in the hands of the cruelest and most sadistic of all the condemned. These irredeemable souls take such delight in the torture of others that they are imbued with the purest essences of anger, cruelty, and hate. These beings earn a title that strikes fear into both the living, and the dead; they are the reapers of souls, the crushers of dreams, the bastions of terror, and the delivers of the damned. They are Ravenors, and their Lord is known by that title alone.

In case you missed it <3. I'm personally psyched for such a cool looking hero, can't wait to get my hands on it!

[UnholyHughes]

Strength! Thanks <3

Corrupted found this deep in the jungle? :warb:

[Ooglyboogly]

Shouldn't it be "The Ravener"? (The one who ravens)

Either that, or remove the "The"

[TheShiny]

more agi support plix

[DreadLocks]

I would have preferred another name, but thats just me. Looks really cool.

EDIT: Actually, I like the name. It's different from what I would expect but it's pretty good. Still, what the hell is a Ravenor?

[MrSnowJr]

^One who Ravens, but really. The "dark embodiment of fear itself."? Um, I don't think so. I am pretty sure Agramon is the demon of fear, or the "dark embodiment of fear itself.", guise.

[Repugnance]

woohoo my ult name!

[Jeroz]

the name sounds quite similar to :reve:...which would be my biggest worry at this point :P

Nobody complains about Pebbles and Bubbles, do I don't see a problem.

Belphagore is also a demon who grants people the power of discovery and ingenious inventions.

Quite different from Balphagore, eh?

On Topic, Why not just call him "The Raven" then?

[foxmindedguy]

I hope to GOD he doesn't have a slow or stun or both.

[RunninDaGame]

looks kool but hope its something different...

[DutchFlame]

this one is dedicated to all the ravens in the nation! Dune - Hardcore Vibes

[Niqhtmare]

I hope to GOD he doesn't have a slow or stun or both.

Is there any viable hero that doesnt have a slow or a stun except Magebane and Zephyr?

[EnconHUN]

zeph have a slow and MB have a ministun.

[Jeroz]

think the only few are :warb: :defi:, and :vind:, and we know how popular they are.

various other ones have immobolise, and :bloo: has that ultimate. Also I see Fear/taunt as pseudo stuns anyway

Though having said that I don't mind S2 create a hero that's just so awesome at other departments (Damage, utility) that compensate for the fact that he has no stun/slow.

Wretched hag?

[MothGod]

Oh yes! Seems like carry melee hero. Love the artwork, looks similar to Cronos from Bloody Roar. <3

[Jeroz]

Wretched hag?

Both her Haunt and Bat Blast (providing that you leveled up Haunt) applies "
20 / 30 / 40 / 50% Movement speed slow initially, which wears off over 10 seconds."

though most people just jump in and scream and use the ult for damage

[Baconisbacon]

Wretched hag?

Has one of the strongest early slows in the game, which is AOE when applied with her ult? :p

People complaining about new heroes having slow/stuns just have no perspective of how necessary those powers are to do anything in a teamfight.

[BuddhaKekz]

That's Xion, not Cronos^^ And wow I'm not the only one who played that game.


Anyway I like the hero so far, especially since it's strength.

[Death_Rattle]

Wait, didn't Bramble just come out? I have been playing far too much Diablo III.

[HeXedMind]

Has a stun and a slow, awesome...

[LordTroll]

I don't know why, but something tells me I'll absolutely love this hero, and I haven't felt that since Monkey King...

[Jeroz]

Has a stun and a slow, awesome...

It will do global nuke with massive damage as well just to top it off.

===

speculating....
Q seems like a skillshot nuke, either two types or a subskill for second activation. Due to the location of the skill (usually the ones with two types are located in W so that the 2nd key could be on E), I'm thinking it's second activation.
W could be an attack modifier to imbue his blade with electricity, for maximum damage
E is either a passive defensive skill/aura or a Shield~~~the word "feedback" doesn't sound like an offensive skill to be since it requires the enemy to trigger it or something.
Ulti seems to be either an activated self buff like :berz:, or a game changing passive like :blac:, or an aoe nuke like :balp:. Not enough information at the moment.

[Rkey]

Oh god yes.

"Power overwhelming"

[Noxilicious]

Nightstalker port incomming?

Edit: Please dont let that guy in the back of the picture be his alt, he looks like a fat pedophile ~.~

[Antimodus]

saw this name, instantly thought of the Governator.
He will not stop

[Flupke]

Dont get what the big problem is with stuns and slows, it doesnt matter if there's another hero out there who has it. In the end there will be 10 heroes in a game, and no matter if we have 10000 heroes with stuns & slows, it will be 10 max anyway and that limit has already been reached long ago.

Okay guys HoN - Ursa Warrior DETECTED!

[BGKSK]

cool i want this hero ^^ he's like cd

[IsmaelVera]

Hmmm....the thing I don't understand is how lightning is the true embodiment of fear...I don't get...Wouldn't it be like darkness or something?
:balp:

[Promness]

nothing to see here

[TDown]

Which one is the alt? I'll instabuy it if's the right one is the exclusive alt, else I'll just wait for his normal release.

[Atrim3ntus]

I hope to GOD he doesn't have a slow or stun or both.

Yeah because if he does he might not suck. We want a hero that's completely useless!

[Sapheron]

Hmmm....the thing I don't understand is how lightning is the true embodiment of fear...I don't get...Wouldn't it be like darkness or something?
:balp:
But I'm afraid of lightning :(

[Chime]

This really looks alot like one of the heroes ive made, but meh, hope isnt there

[BrainSap]

All i see is that one hero can be a team of 5 great i will wait to play till they NERF him cuz it seems he will rape a lot ass in-game that raven

[Driziationz]

people keep complaining about new heroes, why is it. as far as i know the OP ones are the older heroes.
example: Witch Slayer, a line of stun nuke a 3.5 sec disable have great mana sustain with power drain AND a 500 magic damage single target nuke <=== biggest damage in early games

Magebane, burns mana with everyhit and deals amount percentage of damage from the mana burnt, flash every 6 seconds (OP as fcuk nuff said)

these are just a couple of example given not to mention some such as tempest, predator, glacius, hammerstorm, valkyrie and etc.
so why complain about new heroes being OP??? the old heroes are much MUCH and i mean MUCH more OP.

[MothGod]

That's Xion, not Cronos^^ And wow I'm not the only one who played that game.


Anyway I like the hero so far, especially since it's strength.

Yes, sorry. I have always get them mixed up by name. What isn't changing the fact that this hero looks incredible epic. We are waiting S2.

[Netherwind]

Hmm, when I first read his description I kind of expected spells related to shadow magic, or at least fire magic, considering he's a demon of hell. But lightning? Seemed kinda random until I read the first line of Corrupted Disciples description: "Having traded Sol's sacred flame for the potent and unholy energy of the Hellbourne", so I guess in HoN magenta lightning is what demons use, opposed to traditional fire.

[Zoler]

Starcraft woohooo =D

[BubblleBee]

Out of the name, I got a feeling that the ultimate will just be another Hammerstorm ultimate.

[Ryuusan]

I wanted some sort of Raijin sounding name that I assumed would come from riding storms :(

This hero straight-up LoL stereotypical abilities that the community will hate. Hopefully I'm wrong...

[MrSnowJr]

Belphagore is also a demon who grants people the power of discovery and ingenious inventions.

Quite different from Balphagore, eh?

On Topic, Why not just call him "The Raven" then?

A bit different yes, and I always thought Balphagore was like a demon of Gluttony or something similar. Never thought he'd be a genius.

[Bangatron]

Hoping one of his quotes is : quote the raven, never more.
Dunno why but I see him saying it.

[RaveLtz]

Oh no, another cool & tempting new hero. Have to waste money again. :S

[lortaku]

Hoping one of his quotes is : quote the raven, never more.
Dunno why but I see him saying it.
You do mean "Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore'" right?

[Cord]

3rd rate concept art? check.
Stupid name? check.
Generic demon lore? check.
4 Skills that look the same ? check.

It's an S2 hero, alright.

[daggius]

zeph have a slow and MB have a ministun.

heh ez

[_RaZieL_]

Oh yes! Seems like carry melee hero. Love the artwork, looks similar to Cronos from Bloody Roar. <3

I though i was the only person in the world that played bloody roar games and thats Xion...this is chronos :amun3:
Edit:ok, so there are a lot of you, here, have a spurius(i cant remember how to spell it):dark2:

On topic: can this hero solo kong at lvl5-7 with nothing but an abyssal skull?

[KingIsRey]

Lightning is for the bad guys

OT I thought Ravenor was Shredder for a second

[aprolemon]

well im guna buy this just cause it looks cool lol

[Farz1337]

i see s2 decided to move on from SHIELDS ON EVERYONE to STACKING BUFFS ON EVERYONE.

Artillery has a stacking skill.
Ellonia has a stacking skill.
This guy has a stacking skill.

STACKS EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU.

[colondee]

standard hero with underwhelming icons for skills.
disappoint... but in the end, all pandaroohoo heroes are the same :)

[SirVH]

Another melee str hero? Are S2 running out of ideas or what?

[Mummpitz]

3rd rate concept art? check.
Stupid name? check.
Generic demon lore? check.
4 Skills that look the same ? check.

It's an S2 hero, alright.

thats it exactly !!! same checklist here

[_Exodus_]

Ursa?

[Vanderax]

Ursa?
You will check my reply @ page2 to see why its ursa :)

[MushidoZ]

Feels like an alt for dampeer, not exactly sure why people feel he looks cool (definately looks like Digimon)

Sooo.. speculations on the abilities

Ball Lightning: level it up and it gives 2 abilities, one is single target, the other is aoe. Single target deals bigger dmg. Likely to be used as farming tool for a melee carry with tanking potential due to being str..

Lightning Blades: adds dmg per hit, stacking up to 5 or 6 times, adding to the farm and carry potential

Lightning Feedback: dmg return, stacking as well, adding to the carry and tankage

Power Overwhelming: Activate to give attack speed, because attack speed and dmg stacking per hit works and has been done before

Yes, I'm pessimistic. PLEASE, prove me wrong, as I drew the portrait of a generic/boring character right there, and I think it's time HoN gets some "really" interesting ideas and concepts thrown in

[Canzt]

How does electricity and Hellish Deamon fit together?

[UnholyHughes]

Let's hope Electrical Feedback isn't another shield skill.

[Nospheratu]

Although i'm ok with another hero (hope his 3. ability isn't a shield thou), i'm not ok with another set of totally similar-colored spell pictures. With Bramble you at least threw in some red to create a contrast, while here we can again see 4 pink/purple blobs with strings; i hope that you'll pep them up a bit. Many players probably don't care about such things, but i do, so i wrote it down here :)

Edit: just checked Ursa's skills again and i have to say that i'm very excited to see The Ravenor ;)

[Keris]

if it's look cool and badass, ill start throwing my $10 to the monitor.

[BIGPimpiNN]

You`re mine hero ..

[`Elucidate]

Interesting, very interesting.:arma2:

[Skyve]

Just gonna say that this hero is definitely not Ursa :)

[ReMarkable]

99 % sure that 3rd skill is another shield...

When they gonna implant that more delay between new heroes , since pretty sure the result wasn't 2 weeks....

[KingIsRey]

I wonder if Lightning Blades/Storm Blades will deal damage based on percentage of HP the target missing (kinda like reverse-Carnivorous for that ravenous feel) or just a stacking bs like Silho.
His blades become more destructive with every blow he strikes.

[xollen]

looks like something from Mu-Online

[Heatseeker`]

This is like a long lost child of :thun: and :corr:. Seems rather interesting.

[godza6]

does this new hero agility hero or...?

[MrFrobotikz]

Ummm. Spotlight anytime soon? :D :D :D

[ImmaYeti]

"

Sounds like ursa, Except we've been told its not.

[Vanderax]

Well, just an idea.
when you llok at the ult closely you can see the man's skirt has 3 shields which the man at the conept art at background has. So this characters ult will be similar to maliken's but its melee. And it will take a little time for S2 cuz they gotta get ready 4 Models including the alt avatar.
