Insanity Charm I think you over-complicated this passive and its not even that great imo. Its really weak as well!

[MaTz0r]

I see, I will think in another one maybe, or just rework to the First part of the passive, any more toughts?

[MaTz0r]

No love for my hero? I wanted to know wath you guys think about the ult, that control the enemy hero. I might change the passive too.

[WeXaztor]

Would you be able to use abilities an such with the ult?

[WeXaztor]

Also, the witchcrafter, vodoosorcerer and lifebender? :P

[MaTz0r]

No, you will silence and perplex the enemy when you ultie him, so, no skills/items.

And wath do you mean about those names?:O I tought in all of them, I almost named my hero Life Bender :P The original name was Voodoo Sorcerer, but there is alredy voodoo jester.

[WeXaztor]

So, only autoattacks?

My point was that you use all 3 names in your
skills :P

[[LBI]Melto]

Concept is really original, but this hero, may be very hard to play, very weak in game and very situational.

Change the passive imo, as you got the skill 3 in synergy with the blue Doll
Try to make a passive in synergy with the red doll only
For the ult i would double the cd, but make the channel control last ~5s

[MaTz0r]

@WeXaztor
I acctually like the skills name right now :P.

@Melto
He is plained to be hard to play and harder to mastery. Why do you think he is very weak and situational?:P

About the passive, I will change, but both dolls sinergises with the third skill. The red doll will make the enemy attack it, so they will stand still and the blue doll will make the enemy run, taking the stun.
About the ult...5 seconds controling the enemy team hard carry is a lot, isn't it? I think that 3 seconds is almost the limit to have full control of attacks and movement, and that sinergise perfectly with the other skills, sinergise really well with other heroes(imagine a Eng in your team with a lot of mines placed up :P) and that's why I made the cd shorter, I want to have almost 2 times to control the enemy hero in a huge fight, since the duration is low. But why do you think the ult should be 5 seconds with higher cd?

Btw: No suggestion for the passive? And thanks for all the feedback!

[WeXaztor]

@Matzor
i meant that in one skill you call the hero life bender and in another
you call him vodoosorcerer instead of witchcrafter

Weak might be a too powerful work, but I said this because you need to prepare the field before the hero become useful for teamplay, and as a support, i think he got too much disables and not enough support skills...

For the skill 3, the red doll isn"t viable for melee heroes, they will often move when taunted...

For the ult, you may be right ...

[MaTz0r]

@WeXaztor
WOW! AHHAHA Thanks! I will correct it.

@Melto
But the dolls activate within 128 range, that is the melee range! :O And it is automatic! I think he is much more a ganker then a support, but he can act as one. But you are right about preparing the field, and that is why he can place the Dolls in a 300 range around him, so you can acctually use during the fights(even tho, using they before is better as you said). I'm thinking in a passive that will help him during the fights, I'm just out of ideas by now I thougt in a passive that you would be abble to move the dolls, but then that would be forced sinergy/make the dolls Op. Do you have any idea in a new passive?

Ah true for the 128 ! Didn't see >.< !

Since this hero has original and uncommon mechanisms, it's really hard to find the perfect passive for him... I'll try to find something... I'll post if i find it...

[MaTz0r]

Changed the passive, I hope you guys like it more now! It is kinda of a new mechanic it will give him more solo presence and more supportive utility.

[[E]Evil_Andrex]

Just a note, "gadgets" are very commonly used in the game, just most of the time they are invisible. Many AoE skills have gadgets on them. For the passive, I would call them "selectable gadgets" instead to remove confusion.

[R0XAS]

Must say, like your change to passive. Simple and nice

[[DARD]CptnUtility]

Personally. I find the Blue vodoo Doll useless. I Suggest Removing it.

And when you control the enemy hero. Do you control his attacks and abilities aswell?

[MaTz0r]

@Evil_Andrex
Thanks for the information, I'm going to change!

@R0XAS
Thanks, I like this passive more too

@CptnUtiliy
You need to tell me why you don't like it :P I find it is pretty good. About the ult, you can control attacks and mov.speed, since the enemy is perplexed and silenced.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreceate
Edit: I just noticed, the dmage on the dolls were wrong, the blue does more damage.

[MaTz0r]

Bump!~Need more feedback
