Hero Contest #2
Theme: Ice
Theme: Ice
Approved by the moderation team
Description: A hero contest with an ice theme. This contest is to try to get some ideas flowing through TheHelper.net; and to try to extract some good coders from TheHelper.net’s members. Anyone at all is allowed to join, as long as you are sure you can finish the hero.Prize:
•1st Place: 20 rep, 2nd Place: 15 rep, 3rd Place: 10 rep. All contestants may receive normal rep from other members, of course.Theme:
•This contest's theme is Ice. This means that your hero and its spells must relate directly to ice; NOT WATER. Frost is OK, though.•Definition: Ice is frozen water. Therefore, the spells cannot have anything to do with water or water vapor; only ice. However, frost is OK. This is true because ice can be too limiting.

How to Submit your Hero
Please submit your hero as a level 1 hero. The hero should be in a map with sufficient creeps, a respawn trigger, and a level-up trigger. The hero should also be able to learn and use each of its spells without any modifications to the map in which the hero was submitted. Please make sure that all necessary triggers and new objects (in the object editor) are present upon submission. Also, include your name in the map's name to avoid confusion. I don't want to judge someone's hero and give someone else the grade for it. Be logical with your maps; if your hero has an ability that affects allied units, include some allied units!Grading:
