i think something like this could be very good, but with infinite range is probably to good regardless of the cost.

what if it cost the same as wards, but gave 4 charges, and had a range of about 1000-1200 (like deadwoods old hold dist)

so


Flare Gun -Supplies- -4 Charges- Value 200

Reveals the area of the map that is cast upon.
Reveal effect lasts for 20 seconds.
Cost 2 mana (like wards so no monkey can use it)
1000 AOE
1000 Casting Range
Doesn't reveal invisible units


now you have a great ganking item that is very offensive, esp. when blind ganking a lane from a forest, but nowhere near as good defensively as it only watches for 20 seconds.

infinite range seems good for the price as it's not a ward, it's a short duration thing. I would make it even less expensive, or add more charges. But I like it.

[HonStinks]

Is there a visual notification to both teams that this has been used in an area or will it only be obvious to the using team?

[Vylatin]

Thx for comments

Changed it a bit :)
Range is now 1600, but you have 1+ charge


Question: Do you guys think the animation should be visible to enemy players?

[DdsT]

it's like pharaoh's tormented soul without the damage, with lesser range but much bigger AOE.

Hell yeah it is.
But, the truth is you can find similiarities between everything :p
TBH, I took this idea from warcraft 3 (human - flare gun). :)

[PowerOutage]

The animation should be visible to enemy player but no announcement.

Casting range should be expanded to 1600, imo

[Vylatin]

1600 casting range
Animation visible.

I would like to see this item in HoN... I think it would be extremely useful in certain situations.

I'd like it if there was time in between when you buy these. Like 5 minutes apart or something.

Great concept. Would be really useful in alot of circumstances sight is such an under valued concept in so many games I think this would help attract people to valuing it more.

[Vote: Yes]

Please check out my hero suggestion and comment/vote, link in my sig below.

Super hard bump!

[ASpaceViking]

I vote for enemies see animation.

I think this item is cool and could add an interesting element to the game. Good thinking.

[Lancros]

would it be normal sight lines or would it go around and over cliffs?

i think that in the 400 gold that this item cost you can get 4 wards that will be million times better and last 6 minutes


AND most importantly will take no room in your inventory

and for 800 gold with this implemented you could ward and use flare gun :p

its options not requirements. you choose to be dumb and not ward you dont have to. you choose to not use flare gun you dont have to.

Most of the items I laugh at and think they are shitt.... but this is actually a very goood strategic item that woulkd be very interesting!!! Extremely useful!

[shiN3]
