Skill Mechanics: Warlock changes what type of ritual he will use by pressing Q to cycle through 3 types of ritual-circles that has different effects.

Deals massive direct magic damage and leaves a DOT
that do more damage depending on the number of
affected enemies in the circle

Circle of Magi:
Removes part of all affected allies current cooldown
aswell as distributing all affected enemies current
mana equally between all affected heroes.

example:
5 players are in the circle, 2 allies 3 enemies
current mana of enemies are 350+120+1200= 1670
1670 divided amongst 5 players = 334 mana per person

allies gain 334 and enemies mana goes down/up to 334

Warlock is facing

I had a hard time balancing this one so id really like
feedback on that part.

[WeXaztor]

So, could someone do me a favor and tell me why i pretty much never
get any feedback? The one with most comments is my most generic one
after that its one that i entered in a contest that stopped getting comments
after i pulled out of the contest.

So, why? Maybe it would help me a bit.

You should really try adapting one of the well known formats used on the forum when you display your hero. Your current format is very messy and just does not invite anyone in to read it.

Here is one of them:
http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...d.php?t=272656

You can steal mine if you'd like as well.
__________________________________________________ __

As for the hero, I really dont understand his first skill. How exactly do you choose between them when all three are under [Q]? Also the spells are really poorly explained and hard to understand. You can have complex spells, but if you do you need to work even harder to find a elegant and simple way of explaining that skill before you go in to details about it. Circle of Relocation is a nice idea!

Your second skill states that it steals primary stat and attack speed, but later it says it gives\steals? MS as well. Also, the relocation timer needs to be longer than 0.5 seconds.

Your third skill needs better scaling. +1 magic armor each level is really poor. The spell itself is also kind of messy. Do you steal the first spell that effects you or the first spell cast? Can you control it? Needs a better explanation.

Your ultimate is kind of cool but I do not see any great synergy between your skills as of right now. You can steal stats from someone, give it to an ally and then channel on that ally. But what about the rest of his skills, why are they there?

You need to work on this some more and really explain and word yourself carefully.

Thanks a bunch mate, love ya

personally my template is easier for my eyes, hate the one recommended
but if atleast 1 person could back you up i can take the time
to change all my heroes to that one.


As for the hero feedback, also awesome, sorry if i havent made
myself clear enough, i usually create these while at work on
my phone too.

I now see ive made a couple of mistakes that needs correcting.

First skill:

my idea was that you press Q and you get a marker for the current
circle, but then you can press Q again to cycle through the 3
circles (the icon pretty much changes color)

first circle:
simply does high damage (since it's the only one dealing dmg)
then all affected enemies gets a dot for 10seconds that deals
2 damage per affected enemy ( i.e if theres 3 affected enemies in
in the circle they get a DOT of 60 damage over 10seconds)


Second i think is quite well explained? Otherwise ill explain
in another way if i can.

Third you seem to have understood


As for second skill i now see a mistake, it was supposed
to steal either AS or Stats and give what was stolen
but my mind fudged up since it forgot that "magi sap"
is supposed to activate wich means that i cant have E-button
for AS steal (stupid stupid stupid)

i will correct this now


As for third skill:
it passivly give mag.res but the mainpart of the skill
is that if an enemy nearby activates a skill, this skill blocks
it totally (it wont be cast at all) and copys that skill for a
while and enables you to cast THAT spell ONCE but only for
a short while

as for skill synergy, this hero is not supposed to be combo-nuking
1on1 fights but support teamfights and ganks by controlling
the fight and does this by buffing,debuffing, moving,spellblocking
occasionally nuking and making the whole enemy team take
shared damage


i hope this helped, anyway it was really good feedback
this hero is not supposed to be the easiest to play
and is supposed to reward teamplay and knowledge.

thanks alot mate.
