AoS Archetypes

[Twilight33]

i plan on making an AoS map that focuses on roles. what can yall think of for AoS hero rolls.

The following is what i have so far.
Chaser - hero adept at persuing low hp foes that have escaped a gank, or persuing runners during a gank so others can catch up

Ganker - hero adapt at surprise attacks and quick withdraws

Farmer - Hero adept at killing creeps

Creep Tank - Hero adept at tanking creeps

Hero Tank - Hero adept at acquiring the focus of enemy heroes and withstanding their attacks

Disabler - Hero adept at hindering opponents abilities.

Hero Support - Hero is adept at boosting the abilities of allies.

Creep Support - Hero is adept at helping creeps.

Creep support? Why would you help creeps?

Healer maybe?

 

[Tythoid]

replace gankers with just high damager heroes with like damage spells eg frost nova or critcal strike ect so then you have tank, dps and healer its a winning combination

 

[AoW_Hun7312]

Every AoS needs a early game nuker :thup:

 

[Tythoid]

• Nuker
  • Direct Damage Spells

  • Large Mana Pool.
  • Etc
• Pusher
  • Cleave
  • AoE
  • Summons
  • Etc
• Tank
  • Hardened Skin
  • Regen

  • Etc
• Enfeebler
  • Disables
  • Negative auras
  • Slows
  • Etc
• Support
  • Heals
  • Auras

High physical DPS characters introduce massive balance issues, I suggest avoiding them.

 

[Cheddar]

Feeder -- Low attributes, very difficult to control, massive leaks, multiple spells based off of the same base ability.

Most maps have at least one.



Tactician (For those who know about the infamous Goblin Techies, who are a hero class of their own) -- A handyman, if you will. Somewhat a combination of support and offense. Rarely is seen by the enemy. Causes a lot of annoyance to the opponent. Sometimes considered as a "man down" unless it serves its job very well.

Nuker DPS -- Intelligence hero who can play a nuker early game, then switch to a DPS later on. Somewhat flawed in the fact that it is divided into two different hero classes, and isn't as concentrated in nuking/DPS as other specialized heroes.

 

[Leazy]

Who will take creep tank? Everyone will go for ganker ;D

 

[Flying Hipo]

You probably want an all AoE hero who can help out a ton in team battles.

Also a stength nuker. (Off the top of my head Tiny and Raigor Stonehoof from DotA)

 

[Rhymer]

An all-out summoner capable of raising an army of its own to attack the enemy base.
