Author's notes:
Goldenmace is supposed to be played as a carry, which relies heavily on getting a lot of kills with the help of teammates, as he has low farming or ganking abilities. His passive gets damage from illusions around him, and they all profit from the hell ward, which gives them more survivabilty and the so-needed movement speed. If played well, he scales into late game with high number of illusions and +damage, which synergises well. If he doesn't get enough kills, he will be low threat for enemies, and it will be hard for him to get back on track.

Some parts of Q need to be checked in terms of balance, but for simplicity i let it be, they may be thought later (Doombringer)

Seems like this one could be fun to play, atleast if you play well and get atleast 2 illusions

nice use of illusions anyway

[MaTz0r]

I just created a hero that have a really simmilar use of illusions

[[E]Ahimtar]

thanks!

Nice hero !

Skill 1 is underpowered... the main utility of this skill is to create your illusions, that's why you put a very low mana cost and a long duration, you should increase the range a bit... (200 is really melee melee) and add another effect than the low dot 17 magic damage /seconds, something like accursed's sear when you attack this target, I don't know, something helping you hero carry...

[[E]Ahimtar]

thanks, increased the range to 400, now it should be more usable while still quite melee...
and im thinking of other effect i should add to it, i cant decide between slow, -armor and perplex :/ ill add it later today or tomorrow


edit: *350

[[BOOS]MarkMasters]

Woop woop, the first hero (and so far the only) i see in this D-2-l (or whatever it is) that i like! (oh boy, if was planned to join this challenge, but after saying this nobody likes me anymore QQ).

Everything is just fine however what i want to mention is:

Should geometers bane not be at your RECOMMENDED item list? i think its even OP on him.

Illusion rune is quite nasty on him as well.

well, like i said....imo your the winner so far :>

[[SBT]Rkey]

This hero sucks bro. If you gonna base him on illus he needs more than just one. Witchslayer instagibs illus with manadrain bro, AND with minituarize (start countering nomad with ws folks, instagib that nuke illu!)

[[E]Ahimtar]

added a movement slow to his Q, so he's more useful while not too complicated

Should geometers bane not be at your RECOMMENDED item list? i think its even OP on him.

thanks, i wrote there "useful items i can think of" for a reason

adding to counterpicks ^^

[[LBI]Melto]

wait wait wait, a 35% slow which lasts for 12s... you can't put that !

[[E]Ahimtar]

lol, i forgot to add a line there. *facepalm at myself*


i tried to edit it also so its not too similar to 's Q, not sure how it affects him though :/

[[BOOS]MarkMasters]

Oh....to be honest i thought the skill was mainly used on creeps, so you could pretty easy get an illusion....but if thats not the way :P. You could as well consider to apply the slow in a radius around the cursed target, then it would be more interesting to use this spell on a creep

[[E]Ahimtar]

wouldnt it be a bit too op getting a permanent illu every 18 sec? :/

im currently thinking about the slow again, ill rework it so it synergises better ^^


EDIT: so, reworked it, what do you think now?

EDIT2: omg, its now similar to ... but it has some differences, so i'll (hopefully) let it be

[[E]Ahimtar]

so?

btw, i cannot find any fitting icons for him... :/

[[BOOS]MarkMasters]

Obviously better. And like you said, is the illusion then not op when used on a creep? perhaps....but else this hero's lane presence become useless imo. What about giving a weaker version when used on creeps?

[[E]Ahimtar]

id say that you can just use it on creeps normally, except that the illusion wont spawn... not so helpful but it still can help

yes, he has little lane presence, but i think it forces him to get some ganks (with team) more

[[WnK]LuckyStrike`]

t-up, would love to see this in game!!

[[LBI]Melto]

the skill 1 is better now, and original !
:Energizer: :Riftshards: aemonicBreastplate in it's stuff...

[[E]Ahimtar]

thanks for support! i added those items also.

[[IaF]FINAL_MIX]

Skill 1 is kinda boring. 2nd skill is just buff from trembles mound but affects allies.
Ulti is the most interesting.
