I tested the hero a while ago, realy fun to play, with an awesome skill set.

First skill, you didn't stated for how long the units hit are slowed. Also, 2k range is a bit too much for a nuke with up to 400 AoE damage. I would lower the range to 1200, or make it deal half the damage if you cast it from 1200 to 2000 range away.

Second skill, too low mana cost and too long duration. 100 mana cost and 12 seconds duration would be fine.

Third skill, realy nice passive. If I understood it well, its either dispelled after 6 seconds or after you get stunned, right?

Ult, a viable port of Windrunner's ult for this hero. But with staff its a bit op. I would change the damage to 60/70/80% and the cooldown to 30 sec.

Great hero! Keep improving!

Thanks for your review...

I'm rather agree with all your suggestions

For skill 1, I will make it deal 75 or 80 magic damage, as the slow is the more important thing in the hero synergy and concept...


For Skill 3, you gain charges while you run, you get the stack of charge when you reach 100 charges, charge are then set to 0, you can stack again this buff 3 times, when you reach 3 charges, skill is stacked to 100 charges, and duration is permanenlty refreshed as you move, you need 100 charge to refresh duration of buff, stun remove charge and dispell buff...

Hm.. got it.
So you can have up to +80 ms, 32 agi and 12% evasion? Its a bit too much for a passive (its kinda easy to stack the buff). You should lower the duration to 4 or 5 seconds mby.

BUMP Please Give Feedback !

[[OhN]HawkeyeBR]

Gj with the last changes. I think its prety balanced now. Would need some tests to make sure, but the first skill seems ok now.

[[LBI]Melto]

Ty ! Soon I will post update files of all custom heroes...

[MaTz0r]

First spell: Its ok, the arrow will fly up, so there is no chance of hitting the wrong enemy, right? Like valk jav/chipper rocket. I feel this skill is a bit ant sinergestic with ultimate, that you need to auto attack, but I guess it is ok.

Second:I liked it! Does it gives vision like Pestilance buff? Have a cool synergi with the ultie, almost nullifing the side effects.

Third: I like this skill too.

Ult: I think its a good ult, but it's a bit confusing, and maybe a bit overpowered. Try to compare this ultimate with WindRunner from dota, and your hero have even more carry potential.

Just a few notes, maybe the hero could have a 600 range attack, she is soooooo fragile, look at her stats! Overall a hero that I would play :P

skill 1 is a skillshot, where main goal is to slow the target, to keep it in ult range and to have a chance to catch back, the prey !

skill 2: yes it gives vision !

ult: perhaps you're right... since this hero is agi !

test the playable version if you have some time, it's everytime better to test in game than, virtualize gameplay in head...
(I need to upload the lastest version of this hero)
