Idea I had for a Jakiro (Twin Dragon) Remake

[Chiller123]

The main reason I'm posting here in Sandbox rather than just going straight to a Hero post is because I'm not sure if this is easy enough to code to be worth it. Basically, I was thinking about taking the Twin Dragon from Dota and porting him over, but each of his abilities enhances all the others, like Wildsoul's Natural Attunement, or Defiler's Power in Death.

(Note: Because this is just the sandbox and I'm asking about ideas regarding this style of creating a hero, I'm refraining from getting into Stats, or creating a different "kind" of hero. Therefore, for argument's sake, we'll just use Dota's Jakiro as a template from here out)

Here's our current Twin Head Dragon:

As you can see, this simply takes a simple hero and makes him... well, complicated. For what purpose? Well, as we all know, INT heroes shine early game but their abilities fade as the game progresses. Without heroes like OD, we have very few late game INT heroes. The idea of this hero remake is to give HoN a late-game Nuker. Although he starts out much weaker than his Dota counterpart, this version of Jakiro ends up much more powerful after ALL of his skills have been maxed out; in theory, making him shine around level 16.

Anyway, hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

this whole concept, of having each skill give passives to other skills is a great idea for keeping int heroes like this viable until the end. I never played dota, but I think all int heroes should have these changes worked in if possible. It ALSO makes choosing skills unique and is more fun.

Not bad, the game needs late game nukers :)
