HERO ABILITIES
Arsenal Tactics
The Gunslinger is an expert tactician, capable to adapt to any situations to his advantage.
Gunslinger can switch his rifle and pull out his dual handguns and vice versa.
Has a pseudo cast time of 2 seconds; meaning he can move but cannot attack nor cast spells and items during the cast time.
Cooldown: 2
Mana Cost: 0
Rifle Equipped
---------------------------
Increases attack range by 100/160/220/280
Increases damage by 14%/20%/26%/32%
Lowers Attack Speed by 25
Lowers Move Speed by 15%
Dual Handguns Equipped
---------------------------
Increases Attack Speed by 12/24/36/48
Increases Move Speed by 3%/6%/9%/12%
Reduces Damage dealt by 20%
---------------------------
The skill that makes Gunslinger a very versatile and flexible hero in any kind of situations. With his rifle, it makes harassing and last-hitting much much more easier while being at a relatively safe distance. With handguns equipped, he becomes faster and better in dealing burst damage to his enemies.
Your other skills also change depending on what weapon you use, which means there's a lot of builds suited for Gunslinger depending on your playstyle.
The pseudo cast time animation would be the Gunslinger putting his rifle on his back and then pulling out his handguns, he cannot attack or cast spells or items but can walk around.
__________________________________________________
Disengage
The Gunslinger is an expert when it comes to kiting his foes, if an enemy comes dangerously near to him, he will kick its face, dealing minor damage and applying Disoriented effect on it and using the target as a leverage to leap back a safe distance away while the target is disoriented from the hit.
Cast Range of 150
Deals 25/50/75/100 True Damage
Leaps back up to 400/475/550/625 distance
Cooldown: 20/18/16/14
Mana Cost: 50/45/40/35
Disoriented Effects
---------------------------
Unit cannot move, attack, or cast spells and items until the duration ends.
Any direct damage taken during the duration will break the Disoriented effects
Lasts for 1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds
---------------------------
Gunslinger's escape ability, it works like a backwards Leap allowing him to escape his foes rather easily, but requires a target to use this skill on and good positioning or this skill might backfire on you. What it does is that Gunslinger will climb to the target and then give a strong thrust kick to the face while using the force to leap away from the disoriented target.
__________________________________________________
Trigger Happy
Passive
The Gunslinger is always ruthless and is never the one to save bullets just to see to it that his targets stay dead.
With his rifle equipped, he shoots a fragmentation grenade from its secondary barrel, dealing damage over time at an area and reducing attack speed to enemy units.
With his handguns equipped, he can unleash a barrage of bullets at a single target, dealing additional minor damage and mini-stunning it.
Cooldown: 20/15/10/5
Rifle Equipped
---------------------------
Deals 10/15/20/25 Damage per second and reduces Attack Speed by 20/30/40/50
Lasts 5 seconds
Dual Handguns Equipped
---------------------------
Each barrage shot deals 20% of your damage and mini-stuns for 0.01 second
Randomly unleashes a Barrage, shooting bullets up to 2-3/3-5/4-7/5-9 times
Shoots a bullet once every 0.2 second
---------------------------
Passive ability depending on what weapon you are currently using right now
With Rifle equipped, he can deal AoE DoT damage to enemies, mostly used for harassing and pushing purposes and the reduced AS helps greatly in certain situations.
With handguns equipped, he can unleashes a whole barrage of bullets at a single target, dealing 100% of your damage plus 20% damage per bullet based on a random number of maximum bullets allowed.
Tooltip may be a little confusing, so I'll explain it in bullets:
1. Gunslinger deals 100% of his damage and activates Trigger Happy
2. Shoots a random number of bullets out of 5 - 9 bullets assuming its at lvl 4
3. Creates a DoT on the target, dealing 20% of your damage per 0.2 second for 1.6 seconds assuming the random number is 8, meaning it deals an additional 160% of your damage over time.
__________________________________________________
Compound Siege
Gunslinger modifies his rifle, converting it into a rail gun for one powerful shot. He then kneels down and aims it at a target point and then shoots a laser, dealing massive damage at the first target it comes in contact with, and then reduced damage to succeeding targets beyond the first and gives true vision on the area for a short while.
Cast Range of 1800/1950/2100
Radius of 150/165/180
Deals 350/425/500 Magic Damage
Reduces damage by 10% per succeeding target
Cast time of 1 second
Gives true vision at the area for 2.5/3.25/4 seconds
Cooldown: 25/20/15
Mana Cost: 125/200/275
---------------------------
Windrunner's signature skill in the form of an ultimate. Gunslinger will do something on his rifle and then aims it at a target point for 1 second cast time, and then releases a laser instantly reaching the maximum range, and dealing massive damage to the first target then reduced damage of 10% for each succeeding targets.
I think numbers are a bit balanced, since DotA's Powershot deals 360 Damage, costs 120 Mana and a 9 second cooldown. While Compound Siege costs more mana and a longer cooldown. Correct me if I'm wrong though

This is just a hero suggestion in progress, I will be updating this frequently, but at the mean time, this is open to any suggestions or comments and then I will repost this again with a poll based on the community's responses. Thank you for your time.
Last edited by hellfire15; 08-23-2009 at 07:03 PM. Reason: Update
here are some ideas
Explosive barrel: throw a explosive barrel at a enemy. then a line of flameing gunpowder forms following the hero, when it reaches him he explodes doing heavy damamge and short stun to him and any unit around him. If they run quickely they can stay out of range of the explosive line and the power will run out and they are saved.
Bullet blaze: Pulls out 2 pistols and firest at target doing heavy damage. The skill has no recharge but befor eit can be used again you must stand still and reload for a short time. like 8 sec 6 sec 4 sec 2 sec. then you can use it agian.
Blunderbuss: Pulls out a blunderbus doing 1 powerfull heavy shot and pushing units back. The closer they are the more damage and push back. same reload as pistol power.

Okay, made a major update and skill overhaul for this hero. What do you guys think and needs changes or number balancing? Thanks and come again
Me too. Haha!Originally Posted by Nome
~"You promised me, Scout, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
Scout replied, "The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you."~
beh
Love the first ability. <3
Rifle is way better, atleast when you take trigger happy, dualguns passive way underpowered against rifles passive. Slow should last something like 2sec or change the static aoe dmg to splashdmg.
Very nice concept though, you can make more builds with these 2 stances.
Giving all your skills different abilities on the first skill seems like a very versatile hero. But a windrunner port? The only thing they have in common is the ulti wich is not even that more powerfull then powershot. Make the ulti different and let Windrunner be ported the way he should be ported.
Also, don't make the ulti do different stuff with the 2 guns, it will get VERY confusing. Your bomb should be kept for Lanaya / Techies imo, change that aswell.
*edit* 800 yards range with the rifle is alot. I don't know how much sniper has but sniper should keep the longest range imo.
To anser yer kwestion, I are stupid and close minded, I luv dem 12 monkeys. My faverite movie pert'near! Akord'n to yer dum-dum logic, since I luvs dis here movie and I are stupid and close minded, and you luvs dis movie too, that makes you stupid and close minded like me! Welkum to da club, booboo!
Nice, just missing the poll.
14 Sec cd on the ult seems incredibly powerful and annoying. Also rifle bonus range is far too high. A total of 800 range at rank 4? seems pretty outrageous. Perhaps drop default range to 400 or even better 350 and it makes a little more sense. He still have the advantage on any ranged hero just not a massive range and he can no longer solo towers without fear. I always had sniper headshot skill and it was good enough as a solo skill. You've added it in sort of haphazardly or just on the side but that skill allow makes the character the bane of any channeled spell and because of his higher range you could easily crush any hero who has to channel or harass a lane to death. This character would be the ultimate laner.
I think the percentages and numbers need to be toned down for balance sake but I like the concept. Reminds me of a hero from Advent of the Zenith.
Okay, made a big update concerned on reworking most of the skills, check changelog for further details.
Comment, thanks and come again
This is a badass hero but it has NOTHING to do with Windrunner at all! T-UP regardless -- you had me hooked at his Aresenal Tactics ability. He has some forced synergies but overall he seems like he'll work out really nice. Good job.
The only thing I'm good about are concepts, and most likely only two or three have good synergies. Oh well, thanks for liking it, I might repost this with a poll.
Update again
Concept seems nice.
It's not a Windrunner Port at all, thus should not replace Windrunner.
The ulti is OP at the moment.
I suggest 2s Cast and longer Cool down.
I don't know if laser is such a good thing for HoN lore, how about
Piercing Bullet? like a High-speed bullet instead?
Piercing Bullet
Cast Range of 1800/1950/2100
Radius of 150/165/180
Deals 350/425/500 Magic Damage
Reduces damage by 10% per succeeding target
When reaching max range the bullet explodes dealing damage equal to all the reduction it receive for each unit it passed through
Scenario:
Lv. 1 Piercing bullet
5 units in a line
-10% bullet damage per unit it goes through
Unit1: takes 350 damage
Unit2: takes 350-35 = 315 damage
Unit3: takes 315-31 = 284 damage
Unit4: takes 284-28 = 256 damage
Unit5: takes 256-25 = 231 damage
The sum of the reductions the bullet has received for going through 5 units is 119 thus, the bullet explodes for 119 damage at the 2100 range limit, 250 AoE?
or if there's a unit at the 2100 range limit, it will get hit by the bullet for 231 (after going through 5 units) then explode for 119 which equals to 350 damage.
Point is, the more unit it hits, the less damage the bullet does, it accumulates more for the Explosion.
It's like Kunka's boat, it stuns at max range, well, this bulelt will explode at max range, damage depending on number of units hit.
