Ultimate
http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/d/d5/Ghostmirror_Light.jpg
Ability Name here: Mirror Image.
Ability Type: Active.
Explanation: Creates images of self, coping every movement Aron do, this includes spell casts, attacks and items (used on enemies). Images last 26 seconds.
Cooldown = 70 seconds.
Mana Cost = 100/150/200

Level 1- Creates 1 image.
Level 2- Creates 2 images.
Level 3- Creates 3 images.

Images take 33% more damage and deals 43% less damage from all sources, but they got the same stats, items and spells that Aron has.
Images can't go further 340 range from caster, if happens, they got instantly teleported to Aron side.
There is no cast delay between images casts and Aron's, or attack or item uses, they will try repeat every movement at same time,may not repeat at same second, due to range or disabling effects.
Images are not directly controlled, they will just follow Aron.
Disabling any of the images, dont make other images and Aron disabled, but if some movement is made, the disabled image won't copy, of course, depends on what kind of movement executed.
An EXAMPLE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVCM7yZXAtE&feature=related) how it should be (they wont cast insanely over and over like on vid)

[volcan33]

need feedback plz!

[Doccool]

Seems op. Think it likes this 4 guys that ahve 25% chance to cast a spell that does 200 dmg on every attack at them. That would result in HUGE dmges.

[volcan33]

maybe reducing all dmg done by imgs would decrease his opism xD

[Kalk5]

nice idea looks interesting

[volcan33]

Thanks :D, need more reviews!
balancing issues!

[DrexlSpivey]

Alex Ronriguez?

[volcan33]

what?

[PoopyDesires]

Definitely overpowered but the concept is awesome.

[volcan33]

thank you, do u think if u change the numbers i could underpower him?

[Drunkwoecat]

I have a suggestion: You could make one of the abilities similar to barbed armor...except he can't move. Kind of like a lighting rod of sorts; except, the enemy is the grounding.

[AreZet]

Mage from World of Warcraft?

[MrSoloDolo]

holy imba lol, i like the concept though.

it would be good, but i think that an agressive spell like counter-spell matches much more with his cocept.


holy imba lol, i like the concept though.

i will try to modify numbers on mirror image today :)


Mage from World of Warcraft?

kinda, but which game/hero don't have similarities with others?
today u can't be 100% original x.x




i would like to thank the feedback ppl are doing :)

Awesome concept!!

Just fix the numbers a bit.
Maybe increase the cooldown of counterspell and only counter when spells are used on you. Countering normal attacks would be imba.

ALSO: Add a poll !!!

hmm i will think about that, the point to counter-attack normal attacks is to, somehow , create a int counter for carriers at late game.

thanks for feedback :D

i'm adding a poll when i port this to heroes suggestion...
just let me try to fix his opism issues xD

[volcan33]

bump, few alterations on numbers

[dandylion]

Seems pretty solid overall. At first I looked and thought that at all seemed a little generic, but after looking at it more thoroughly, it's more of a "simple but good" strategy on it. The abilities are fairly basic, but highly functional and synergize well. Overall great concept.

thx :), i would like say,too, that simple heroes are more accessible for new players,i love "hard mode" heroes, but sometimes u gotta do something simple to match with some players skill level.



anyway, if someone thinks its way too simple and needs a boost on skills concept, i can work on that...
just let me know!

[Confused]

one question, it says images on the ult can use items, does that mean they can all use codex at the same time or am i reading this wrong. the burst on that would be amazingly overpowered

[Maazing]

Imo, just make the counterspell spells do reduced damaged with X%

ye they can,that's why they do reduced damage,otherwise.
anyway it can be changed later...
maybe i can keep 50% reduce from skills and attacks, and about 70-75-80% reduced dmg caused by items, this can be easily fixed.

another option: create only one img, the unique image still deals less dmg , but with an increase in every ult lv., and maybe with a higher lasting time too.


Imo, just make the counterspell spells do reduced damaged with X%

not a bad suggestion,but lets remember swiftblade's counter attack:

Extensive training in melee combat has
allowed Swiftblade to perfect the art
of countering enemy attacks, granting a
chance that he will retaliate every time
an enemy hero strikes him.
Level 1 : 15% chance to couter melee and ranged attacks
Level 2 : 20% chance to couter melee and ranged attacks
Level 3 : 25% chance to couter melee and ranged attacks
Level 4 : 35% chance to couter melee and ranged attacks
Mana cost n/a
Cooldown n/a

no cd! and 35% chance...
u can kill a int hero without even attacking him.


anyway, balancing this counter-spell, is not a bad idea...
so the imgs "counter-spelling" together with aron won't be that op.

[krucifix]

What role do you expect this hero would fulfill?

He's not a ganker/roamer, he's not a tower pusher, he has no game breaking AoE CC.

What role do you expect him to fulfill? Is he simply a turtler?

maybe u dont got the point of this hero...

think with me,when at lv 6 he can crate a img of self, this img deals 43% less dmg and takes 33% more dmg,have the same stas, and also use all items and spells Aron has, and at same time,so,as u can easily note, they are not common imgs.

as i say on the desctiprion of spells, the effects from each of them stack, so if mirror img is active,magic bolt will slow 20-40-60-80%, which is enough for a gank, and also he can rip magic armor off and support high nuke heros ( -2,-4,-6,-8 magic armor).

maybe he can push towers,at lv 11, at least.

at late game he can be extremly op int carrier or even a turtler as u say, with high def due its counter spell, and high dmg due to arcane nova,Harkon?s Blade(optional),magic bolt,codex(optional,but highly recomended).

but his main roll is an INT answer for late game carriers,that's all,what i've tried to show that he can be supportive and do a good combo with other heroes.


btw, if i do some alterations, i can put his role into a full roamer.

[krucifix]

OK, no no, an int based carry is an interesting concept. That's pretty sweet.

[Sknurt]

Op hero but awesome concept i would like to see him in hon =D u got my vote

thx for the support, means a lot for me.




obs.: thought: transform his ult into a dota geomancer's ult, i dunno if it's solid enough for a int hero... i may think about it.
i will add this hero to "hero suggestions" today :)

[volcan33]

bump!!

[volcan33]

bump!!!

[volcan33]

OMG! need feedback!
bump

[Flat_Head]

I agree with everything except for activating items. 3 arcane rings? (idk if there's arcane immunity) 3 puzzleboxes? what a nightmare. just let the images attack and cast spells with no delay, i think that would be fair. letting them counterspell seems reasonable too, it's ultimate after all.

Just items used on enemies are usable by images :D
i say it on Mirror Image explanation,take a look...

Items like Codex,Harkon's Blade,Hellflower,Frostfield Plate

Some items,ofc will be useless if used at same time, such as Storm Spirit, Totem of Kuldra

[Zoulrage]

i have some suggestions

arcane nova maybe decrease the AoE to 400 and compensate by reducugng magic armor by 1/2/3/4 for 6 or 8 seconds

also got an idea for counterspell

give the arcanist a 100% chance to absorb and counterspell an enemy spell and counterspelling with an arcane bolt rank 1/2/3/4 with a 10/9/8/7 second cooldown

or

make it an activate skill with 100% chance to absorb an enemy spell and countering it with an arcane bolt rank 1/2/3/4 for 4/5/6/7 seconds 25 sec cooldown

i think that chance on every normal attack to apply a freebie spell is a little op :)

Actually it will reach -8 magicv armor if all images are up and the skills is maxed,so no problem with that.
Cant reduce its aoe to 400,since it has a cast time,and the proporse of this skill is to mass magic armor reduction.

obsorbing a spell may be a nice idea,but i think its kind op,it will be like a null stone or much better than that.
and i cant force this skill to counter with only one spell,this woul make him much more OP,since u will just increase Magic bolt and counter spell,making something like ... "can't touch this (dan-dan dan dan!)"

All I read in that entire thing was "I am a small copy of :wret:Wretched Hag." "I want my MAGIC MISSLE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWAb5NVALw) to be overpowered and slow people while doing absurd amounts of damage.
"AND I WANT TO COUNTER 25% OF ATTACKS FROM ALL ENEMY'S WITH MY AUTO TARGETING MAGIC MISSLE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWAb5NVALw)"
"Also I want my ultimate to be overpowered so when i use my MAGIC MISSLE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWAb5NVALw) All those people I target will die no matter what because of 4 MAGIC MISSLE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWAb5NVALw)'s hitting him all at once! MUHAHAHAHA "
Also here is a huge flaw to your retarded hero.. What happens when you ult then use refresher orb and then ULT AGAIN. NOW YOU HAVE 16 COPIES OF YOURSELF! AND THEN USE CODEX! AND THEN YOU USE PUZZLE BOX! NOW YOU HAVE 32 SELF CONTROLLED UNITS! NOW USE YOUR SECOND ABILITY! ULTIMATE AOE!
O and if your as dumb as the author of this ""super duper ulti masterness hero of doom"" here is the link to MAGIC MISSILE...

Completely agree. This hero is way too imba. 25% to activate its nukes while not triggering cooldown. Might as well give him massive stat gains while you're at it. If anything, lower the percentage and make it trigger cooldown on its respective skill. Lower the damage for each nuke too.

[volcan33]

iareStan and Blurrier
are,probaly, the same person...one is fake acc.
he is flamin' on others threads
i think some ppl know how noob u are...
go play somewhere else...

btw, ur comments are so F****** fail,that i won't answer it.
