Rampage solution

Rampage!

What is wrong with him?:
As of know, he is maybe the only hero in HoN that is ONLY a pubstomp hero. He has utterly no value in a team. He is like a warbeast with lesser damage and can't buff his allies.

His spells are just messed up really.
He has 2 passives that increase his damage and damage uptime (bash).
His only normal active spell is a 2.5sec single target stun.

His ulti is 1 bash + 150/250/350 magic damage, which is fine!

Any solutions?
Lately I've thought about why he has his charge and ultimate.
It's like;
1: Move fast to the target over 10-12sec.
2: Stun
3: Stun again
3: Deal magic damage.

Think if could've merged these spells together:
1: Charge the target.
2: When the target is within 600/800/1000 range you instantly teleport to the target
3: Stun it for 2/2.5/3sec
4: Deal 250/350/450 magic damage (because it no longer gains +100 dmg from his bash).

This would be his ultimate: Instead of his old charge, he would gain something like:


Rhino Rush:

Manacost: 140
CD: 20
Range: 400/600/800/1000
AoE: 200 (small)

Rampage charges at a very high speed against the target location (1000ms?).
Stuns everyone in his path for 1.2 seconds and deals 50/100/150/200 magic damage.



Sidenotes: This would certainly give Rampage some competetive qualities (AoE stun, that works as a semi-leap (he just moves fast, he can be slowed, stunned and killed during the Rhino Rush)).

And S2's goal is to make EVERY hero competetive. And as far as I see it, they've done a damn good job, they just need to give Rampage a slight buff.

Why do I always have to write terrible typos in every poll I make :)


And please give me some feedback, ;)

not enough. Plus, what will happen to first skill?

You've certainly offered an interesting idea, but what about his left-over spell slot?
Come to think of it, you know what is missing from HoN that DotA offered on a multitude of heroes...? War Stomp/Thunderclap. Remember those?
"The hero stomps the ground, slows everything around him/stuns, yadda yadda yadda". Granted, Pesti has the War Stomp concept locked down, but what about Thunderclap?

Dude riding on the back of a large, angry mammal could theoretically make use of that spell, especially if his ultimate gives him transit.

What are missing, his charge is replaced by Rhino Rush, his charge is merged into his ultimate and his 2 passives stays as they are.

Any remake would be fine, I thought making his charge have a semi-leap, when your target is close enough, immobilizing or lesser stunning, still with retaining the charge, and this is similar to that. I don't get why they have a debuff on his charge though, I'm surprised S2 brought that over.

I believe this suggestion is suppose to go in 'other' however, as a remake.

I voted yes to thread but not your suggestion.
