Alt Avatar - Midas -> Medusa

[Skyve]

Really simple - a Medusa alt for Midas

Q - Throws snakes instead of bottles
W - Could be something like a manticore instead of lions.
E - She disperses into snakes (like Pollywogs death animation)
R - Turns enemies to stone

I think that would fit Midas pretty nicely.

For the looks, her snake hair would be quite important, could look similar to this:

Probably the best idea I've read the last weeks. :SwordOfTheHigh:

[The_Zealot]

simply,yes

[[DARD]CptnUtility]

Yes, but whoever animates this needs to make it distinctively different from myrmidon, or this is a bad idea

[[Poni]LiAdErC]

hey noob wrong section :S

[Skyve]

That's still not a proper gorgon, she doesn't even have snake hair...

I also don't get your reason for posting that picture here :/

[Skyve]

And they really put something as stupid as that in their game? (The western/cowboy Cassiopeia thingy, I mean come on, that can't be real, it's just so... you know...)

Also still not a Medusa, and I don't really believe that:

Just helping you visualize your suggestion, bro.

Also, my google image search for Medusa yields results that actually make sense...

uh oh a LoL player, quick someone get the anti-troll pepper spray!

[Skyve]

The worst thing about him is that, no matter what he's trying to do, he doesn't even understand what a gorgon (like Medusa) is :/

I mean even Lady Vashj (warcraft) is much closer to the look, considering the important thing about Medusa is snake hair (well, and turning people that look at her to stone).
She doesn't even need a snake's body.

Something like that:



Would fit pretty nicely too

[Skyve]

OP never said anything about a "gorgon", mate. But after google imaging it this is what I found:

Medusa IS a gorgon. There only were 3 gorgons in greek mythology, and the best known is Medusa.

[[KNO]DrPeckers]

Has this thread devolved this quickly into arguing over what medusa was in ancient mythology? Seriously guys.

[Skyve]

It's more that he keeps posting pictures of Cassiopeia and her skins from LoL, for some reason.

[The_Zealot]

ahahahahahha stop that LoL ****,not every hero who looks like someone in LoL is taken form it.......THIS SUGGESTION IS GREAT,STOP HATE POSTS!

[Wulrik]

Maybe a basilisk instead of a manticore? Either is fine really. Love this idea!

[Skyve]

I just chose a Manticore, because it's part lion

[[E]Ahimtar]

i dont totally like it, because it wouldnt look like midas at all...

but the idea is genial.

[[fray]Tombrid]

Good idea.

While the concept of this is really cool, I do think it's a bit too dramatic a change from the original concept. It's both a sex change, as well as a transformation into a beast, as well as a change of element (gold to stone). It would not just be an alternative avatar, it would pretty much be a completely different hero.

I didn't vote for that reason. It's too good to get a "no", but a bit too different from Midas to get a "yes" :/. I can't decide.

exactly, yes.
it has so cool points, "stoning" someone is same like "golding", those spells a re really fitting, also a greek mythology theme would fit.
too bad it would be too much of a new hero, noobs would die from that

[Skyve]

But isn't that the fun in alt avatars? The potential to have a different theme for the same concept? :/
