Alright, so this is my first shot at making a hero and thus wont be the best balanced int he start, but thats what constructive criticism is for right? Anyways, here it is. Also, I don't have pics on hand, this is a character thought up on a whim.



Doppleganger


An Agi Melee

Speed: 300
Range: Melee
Affiliation: ? (could go either, prolly HB)
Primary Stat: Variable, Initially, Agi


Base Stats:

Str: 19 (+1.9)
Agi: 23 (+2.1)
Int:17 (+1.7)
Starting Armor: 2.0
Starting damage: 51-60





Sounds and Visuals:

So I'm hoping appearance wise that he could look like a mix between scout and soul stealer. At the moment what I could see working due to his abilities is him having the body of scout but the skin of soul stealer since he shouldn't have a set form anyways.

Moving:
"Shifting position"
"Sliding that way"
"Im on my way"
"Fast as I can"

Selection:
"Yes?"
"What should I do?"
"What should I be?"

Attack:
"Now you see me!"
"What now!"



Role:

Due to his skill set doppleganger will be variable in his roles, either a tank, carry, or DPS.



Skills:



Slide

Flavor text: The doppleganger in times of trouble has learned the best means of escape is to quickly morph into his surroundings to appear elsewhere. This can't be sustained due to its massive tax on him, and as such happens quickly.
Description: Teleports doppleganger from one location to another but must be used on the same terrain he is standing on (can't teleport from HB side to Leg and etc.).
Target: Location
Cooldown: 14 seconds
Mana cost: 120/110/100/90
Cast range: 700
Range: 600/700/800/900

Idea: This is a simple escape/initiate blink, nothing special except that it is limited to the same terrain you are standing on.

Visual: The doppleganger sinks into the ground, rising at the selectedf location.









Adaptation

Flavor text: The doppleganger having learned to master his abilities to change form has learned that if he shifts his arm to become alternatingly lighter and heavier as he swings, he can attack faster.
Description: (Passive) Increases Dopplegangers attack speed by 15/25/45/55.
Target: N/A
Cooldown: N/A
Mana cost: N/A
Cast range: N/A
Range: N/A

Idea: This is a simple attack speed increase.

Visual: The doppleganger attacks faster?






Morph

Flavor text: The doppleganger, being a master of shapeshifting, has learned to change his size and shape to fit any form, and has also learned to use it to escape from enemies or confuse them in battle. When shifted, doppleganger adopts the shifted targets primary stat, and attack type and his icon is removed from enemies radars as if he were invisible.(if applicable)
Description: Lets Doppleganger shift into any selectable target.
Target: Any selectable target
Cooldown: 30/25/20/15 seconds
Mana cost: 120/110/100/90
Range: 800/900/1000/1100

Idea: This is the signature move of Doppleganger and has a wide variety of uses. I want this to be able to used on all selectable targets (yes even creeps/trees/and items) so that not only is it a means to confuse targets but a means of escape as well. (since doppleganger could run into the forest and turn into a tree so that enemies didnt see him as they pass)

Visual: The doppleganger turns into any target selected.






Shift

Flavor text: Having mastered his abilities, the doppleganger has realized that when he shifts it could put him at a disadvantage. This technique was created by doppleganger to bypass this disadvatage.
Description: Allows doppleganger to switch his Agility stat with either his strength or Int Stat at will and while shifted increases it by 5/7/9 points.
Target: N/A
Cooldown: 40 Seconds between shifts
Mana cost: N/A
Cast range: N/A
Range: N/A

Idea: Obviously, this is to cope with the fact that dopplegangers primary stat changes when he morphs, and the stat boost was so that I had something to do with its levels.

Visual: N/A





So thats the basic rough draft of it, criticism and etc. is welcomed.

Ah, a doppleganger hero! I have considered making such a hero myself.

While it's a wonderful concept which I think definitely should be in HoN at some point, I really hate your version of it. It needs to be completely tossed out. Mediocre stat gain, a blink, a boring passive, an awkward shapeshift, and a really lame ult. I think you should press onward with the concept, but take some more time to think of what the shapeshift skill should be like, then build him around it. I don't mean to be mean, but I would do you a disservice if I didn't tell you this isn't good, at all.

Chiddler: As I said, numbers can be changed I gave a low ball

Arc: Eh like I said it's a VERY rough draft I just hated how when I searched doppleganger, I saw NO true shapeshifting skill.

Well, I encourage you to press onwards! Shapeshifting would be an awesome addition to the game. I think you need to rework the whole way it works, though.
