Well, the description's kinda off. I mean, I dont see any protective spell that could help you allies.
And the chameleon topic is kinda off as well, since he doesnt camouflage or anything.. he's more of an ilusionist.
Anyways, cool hero, but I have a couple of questions.
The ulti keeps spawning ilus for the duration with 1/2/3 tops or only spawns 1/2/3?
And what if the ilu of the 1st skill doesnt get attacked at all and it fades, will it explode anyways?

its pretty good but the apperance is kinda common but the idea is solid and ulti is pretty creative!yes he needs to be in HoN
Love the explosive illusion idea - I can imagine some pretty nasty shocks for any enemy heroes seeing a quick and easy gank in a wandering, low-healthed early Madman, only to find he's actually a walking deathtrap.![]()
As for the Ultimate - you could do so much more! What about something more drastic: What if his ultimate is an instant cast spell that creates, say 3/5/7 Illusions of himself (with Staff of Masters boosting the amount to a whopping 10, even), that immediately scatter themselves around in a random radius, moving anywhere between 100 to 500 yards away from the original casting point before pummelling anything in range. If they have 100% of the Illusionist's remaining health upon casting, and did 30% of his damage, the whole spell duration lasting 5/7/10 seconds.
The illusions are targettable, but not controllable by the illlusionist, preventing him being a one man swarming machine. The fact that they are not controllable means that the original illusionist can be easily spotted if he tries to cast this and run, or if he uses another spell. This forces him to do exactly what he's meant to: Try to deceive and fool.
The random dispersing of the illusions would look visually ace, as well as being immediately confusing to anyone trying to chase. If, upon casting, the illusionist phases out for 0.1 seconds, this means anyone chasing with auto-attack will also need to stop and attempt to establish which is the real one before resuming their assault.
What do you think?
Feasible?

Damage-wise, it would scale throughout mid and end-game, as it is directly proportionate to the Illusionists damage. If by level 16, say, he has around 150 damage (a wild guess), then the illusions would do 45 damage a shot: that's 7 illusions (assuming no Staff of Masters), doing 45 damage per attack, for 10 seconds. That's not unreasonable - it's not particularly more powerful than Voodoo Wards from Pollywog Priest. In fact, it's very similar to that ultimate, only, much more diverse in its potential uses - it can confuse, causing enemies to divert their attention on the sudden outbreak of squishy Illusionists rather than chase a fleeing hero, for example. Plus it can be handy in causing complete visual chaos in a team fight - considering you warn your team that you're using it, the enemies could be mentally overwhelmed by the sheer number of foes they're facing, even though they're simply illusions.
There is just no end to the marvels one could accomplish.
Plus it'd be hilarious to watch some guy explode into 10 more of himself, before they all scatter randomly. Absolute chaos. Yum.
