[CrazyImpling]

I'd like to participate. A few questions, does MUI take part in the coding section? What are we supposed to be balancing to? And, does the effect involve every action done by the spell?

 

[Ryuu]

Count me in.

Count me in.

added as well!

> does MUI take part in the coding section?
MUI is not necessary.

> What are we supposed to be balancing to?
Balance -> ie. Never make a spell that does damage of 10000+.
Understand?

> And, does the effect involve every action done by the spell?
Yes it is. That's why it gives ??/40.

I probably get laggy lately. So late.

Fire Shade​

I'm sorry for not saying that I was in before, I'm new to the site...
But here's my entry. The tactics of this hero is to know when to cast your spells because they are all very powerful but they all cost a lot of mana.

Flame Warp
The Fire Shade warps to the specified point, damaging units nearby. The shorter the warp, the more units get damaged.
Level 1: 5/flame, 200 at end.
Level 2: 10/flame, 200 at end.
Level 3: 15/flame, 200 at end.

I may update it a bit (lol this is my first post )

Jonadrian619's:

This is my entry....

Demon Warlock​

OK. I've ignored the Diablo hero and I created another which is much more balanced to melee specifications. The use of this hero is for destruction, to destroy. He can do many skills, like cold attacks and fire attacks and also lightning skills. His skills have high mana costs and have a fair cool-down period.

3 skills are JASS spells and the Ultimate skill is GUI.

This demon can cast elemental spells too, a variety of elements and effects for each spell.

Skill 1 - Inferno of Destruction

Creates a huge, wide and destructive inferno in front of the Warlock, dealing damage to any enemy unit singed in the flames. The more closer enemy units are to the inferno, the more damage they take. The farther the enemies, the lesser damage they take, until it reaches the base damage amount.

Level 1 - 75 base damage
Level 2 - 135 base damage
Level 3 - 195 base damage

Cooldown: 12 seconds

Skill 2 - Frozen Touch

A deadly and destructive frost attack. Charges the Warlock's hand with extreme frost, then attacks a target enemy unit. The target unit gets frozen, meaning it cannot move or cast spells, then the target unit takes damage while frozen. The target also takes 100 initial damage. Air units cannot be frozen but still take initial damage.

Level 1 - 3 second freeze duration, 25 damage per second
Level 2 - 4 second freeze duration, 50 damage per second
Level 3 - 5 second freeze duration, 75 damage per second

Cooldown: 15 seconds

- charge up

- freezing effect

Skill 3 - Arcane Curse

Curses a target enemy unit. The curse will have very destructive effects against spell-casters and such. A cursed unit will be stripped of a percentage of his mana when casting any spell. When a cursed unit casts a spell with no mana, then a small percentage of his health will be drained.

Level 1 - 25% Mana removed, 10% Hit Points removed for non-mana casters, Lasts 10 seconds
Level 2 - 40% Mana removed, 15% Hit Points removed for non-mana casters, Lasts 20 seconds
Level 3 - 55% Mana removed, 20% Hit Points removed for non-mana casters, Lasts 30 seconds

Cooldown: 11 seconds

Note: The percentage of mana drained is not the percentage of the current mana, but the percentage of the maximum mana of that unit!! This spell is very effective against high-mana spellcasters.

- cast

-effect

Ultimate Skill - Hellfire Nova

The forces of magic in the Hellstone are amongst the most devastating elements of magic, thus it can even surpass magic itself. Creates a devastating Hellfire Nova that can singe even the strongest of all creatures. The Nova deals massive damage and it will dramatically destroy the mana of the units it strikes.

Cooldown: 120 seconds

Note: This skill is very devastating and it can remove all the mana of spellcasters, while dealing huge amounts of damage. It also has great eye-candy. Use it in an area filled with enemy units.

All skills have 3 levels and ultimates 1. I did my best to make this hero cool to use. I've use imported materials. The credits can be viewed in the Readme section of the trigger editor. I created the icon for the Hellfire Nova spell, and it's cool.

Please give comments and tell me if it's good...:shades:

[Ryuu]

I have a question.

Can the hero be selected from a tavern? Or do I just place the hero in the map itself?

 

[CrazyImpling]

Are we allowed to use different language translations? Because I find they give a nicer effect to the Hero and themes.

 

[--Thanatos--]

> Can the hero be selected from a tavern? Or do I just place the hero in the map itself?

Just put it in the map iteslef.

> Are we allowed to use different language translations? Because I find they give a nicer effect to the Hero and themes.

Example please ?

 

[13lade619]

i'd like to join... if i can make it to the deadline 'cause i'm busy...
-
but i need some clarifications:

Hero have 4 Spells: 3 Normal Spells, 1 Ultimate.

how many levels for each ability?
what's the max level for the hero?

The Hero must be specially made for this contest.

does it mean that i can't entry a hero from my OWN map/s?
does it mean that my entry should not appear in my map/s IN THE FUTURE?

and also, what form will be the test map?
can i make a 1 lane AoS style test map?

Any. But 4 for Normal Spells and 3 for Ultimate would be good.
Max level, well up to you. as long as it can learn all of the abilities.

The Hero must be specially made for this contest.

does it mean that i can't entry a hero from my OWN map/s?
does it mean that my entry should not appear in my map/s IN THE FUTURE?

You can't entry a hero from your own maps.
But you can entry your hero in the Future.

and also, what form will be the test map?
can i make a 1 lane AoS style test map?

Not a must, but, well, that'd be cool.

added.

 

[waaaks!]

this is cool, but im not so good on spells, im only good at texturing, modeling heroes and theme heroes...

so do NOT sign me up
ill just be an audience and be the +repper

 

[--Thanatos--]

ill just be an audience and be the +repper

You'll going to rep the champ then.

 

[U are a noob]

Count me in.
Added to index.

 

[Pyrogasm]

2 weeks from now.

I suggest you rethink that statement. Now. After 2 months, the Hero Contest on Wc3Campaigns.net had only 4 submissions.

Additionally, I suggest that you read the Wc3c Hero Contest thread for some ideas.

I'll join... or I can judge.


EDIT: Here are the important things I think you should take from the Wc3c thread:

• Blance to Melee specifications: normal levels for abilities, etc.
• If there are more than 3 submissions, enter a public poll (without the poll option) in which people get to vote for their favorite two submissions (by replying to the thread) with reasons as to why they liked said submissions
• Have a theme for this contest. Wc3c's was "synergy".
• MPI at the very least

 

[jonadrian619]

I want to join and participate in this contest... I have rigged hero ideas in my disposal, so I'll do my best to make a cool hero..

 

[--Thanatos--]

Going to edit the main post. Please Re-read the rules...

> I suggest you rethink that statement. Now. After 2 months, the Hero Contest on Wc3Campaigns.net had only 4 submissions
Ok. 1 Month from now maybe?

Don't quite understand. I think I'll just grade it?

> Have a theme for this contest. Wc3c's was "synergy".
I already thought about that, but at least for this time I'll make it free. >_>

> MPI at the very least

[Pyrogasm]

I assumed a public vote would be part of the way the "winners" are determined, that's why I suggested using Vexorian's method instead of just having a plain ol' public poll where anywho can just click a button.

By including some sort of public opinion, you now have a sort of "public appeal" category, which should be a large factor.

 

[--Thanatos--]

I guess I will. That means, create a new thread at the DeadLine?

 

[Pyrogasm]

Yes, like this.
