Hero Idea thread.

[Joccaren]

Hey, I'm making a new map and I've run out of ideas for heroes. If some people could please think of some Ideas and post them, please do. (No DotA heroes please)
Also, could you set the info out like this:
Name:
Proper Names: (optional)
Model File:
Primary Attribute:
Spells:

Also, tell me what the spells do in another set like this:
Name:
Mana Cost:
Effects:

If anyone has the time/wants to, please make your hero on a dummy map (empty except for custom hero) and post it. Thanks.
(+rep for all who help, I'm really out of Ideas!)

 

[Narks]

I suggest you make a thread in Members Project (just ONE thread for your map, mind you). I don't think this is the right place.

 

[Joccaren]

Good point. Thanks. Does the just one thread inlcude this thread, I don't know how to remove threads

 

[Exide]

I suggest you don't start a new thread in the Members' Projects (unless you have a beta version of your map, and a couple of screenshots to show.) I hate it when far from finished projects are hosted there. (Maybe that's just me, though.)

Check out this thread, and see if you can find some inspiration for your heroes there:

Effect: Targets the GROUND, causes a huge line of frost novas to burst out the ground slowly moving forward in a long distance, freezing and damaging nearby units with Nova damage.

Spell Name: Ice Bomb

Effect: Targets a non-hero unit and causes it to Spontaneously Combust, causing Crushing Waves to rip out of the target unit, this spell kills the target unit.

Effect: Every enemies movement speed is reduced by a percentage, whilst every ally's speed is increased by the same ammount.

Spell Name: Metamorphosis

Thanks!

 

[Necrach]

Name: Death Angel
Proper Names: Bhaal, Belsebub, Khorne, Mephisto, and more devil names
Model File: Archimonde
Primary Attribute: Intelligence (but favours Strength and Agility!)
Spells: Soul Surp, Inferno, Cleave, and Flame Form

Name: Soul Surp
Mana Cost: 50
Effects: The Death Angel surps the life energy out of an ally and puts it into his fists. Kills a friendly unit, giving the Death Angel a Lifesteal for 8/10/12 seconds. The life steal is 100/175/250%
If you are making a map where the players have no units except from the hero, slightly decrease effect of the Soul Surp skill and enable him to use it on infernals.

Name: Inferno
Mana Cost: 180
Effects: A combined Starfall/Rain of Chaos spell. Based on Starfall, make it only affect ground units (not buildings nor air) and make a trigger for creating the very small infernals (which is summoned on every meteor hitting an enemy!)
Damage dealt 25. Damage interval 4/3/2. The infernals cannot attack, but are magic immune and have a permanent immolation which deals 3/6/9 damage every second. Infernal hp is 90/120/150.

Name: Cleave
Mana Cost: Passive
Effects: This is the original Cleave skill

Name: Flame Form
Mana Cost: 100
Effects: Ultimate. The Death Angel becomes a little larger and changes model to Kil'jaeden. He becomes Ethereal, gets Chaos damage, a permanent imollation dealing 20 damage/second, and get +25 damage. Duration and cooldown like Metamorphis.

Thats the base idea I came up with right now, if you want more spells, here's an edit:

Name: Hellwasps
Mana Cost: 85
Effects: Like Locust swarm, but change the models of the locusts to Phoenix with a Scaling value of 0.10. The Hellwasps (locusts) does 3-4/6-8/9-12 damage.

Name: Pit Aura
Mana Cost: Passive
Effects: Negative Devotion Aura. Decreases armor of nearby enemies by 1.5/3/4.5

 

[Necrach]

Getting ideas for heroes is never a problem, just tell me how many you want came up with another one which didn't fit in any of my maps, so lets post it to you

Name: Tuskarr Fiddler
Proper Names: Any musicians you like
Model File: A Tuskarr.
Primary Attribute: Strength
Spells: Symphony of Regeneration, Song of Vampirism, Turncoat, Tuskarr Theme.


Name: Symphony of Regeneration
Mana cost: 150/135/120
Description: Like Tranquility, but change the Effect from that tranquility rain to the Taunt animation, and change the effect sound to nothing, adding a trigger playing the Night Elf Victory theme once. Also change the buff, ofcourse, but not buff animation. Cooldown 50/40/30 seconds, lasts 22 seconds, heals 8/13/18 damage every second.

Name: Song of Vampirism
Mana cost: 200
Description: Like the spell above, but with vampirism potion as the buff animation, and Undead Victory team played instead. Instead of healing, the Song of Vampirism grants a 30/60/90% life steal to both melee and ranged units (make this with a trigger that all the time detects if units has the Song buff, adding/removing an invisible life steal ability.) Lasts 40 seconds. Cooldown 50 seconds.

Name: Turncoat
Mana cost: 250/200/150
Description: Exactly like the Charm spell but with a casting time; 8/4/0 seconds. I recommend the Anti-Magic potion icon, it fits nice.

Name: Tuskarr Theme
Mana cost: -
Description: Ultimate. Passive. When recieved, this skill changes the music played in the map, or maybe the player get options which theme he wants to play. Maybe it is an active skill and when you click there you can choose music by choice. You decide This skill shall also give a lvl 3 Endurance Aura and a lvl 2 Brilliance Aura for the Tuskarr Fiddler.

Being so lazy just giving you ideas, I thought I could make you a hero and upload it here. It is a simple one, but I think it is brilliant myself depending on which kind of enemies you meet in the map, he could be either overpowered or too weak. Or perfect

Name: Cager
Model: A griffin fighting with a giant cage!
Abilities: Imprison, Cage, Netter, Great Snarl

Here is a minor map with the hero, his abilities and necessery triggers. Just import everything you could also send me the map so I could have a look at it, as long as you want I could help you with heroes

[Avaleirra]

Name: Druid (not feeling creative)
abilities: bear form, cat form, moonkin form, tree of life (ult)


Each form could have different abilities and serve for different purposes

e.g, bear form can be for tanking, cat form can be melee dps, moonkin form caster dps, and tree of life for healing.


I don't know where'd you get a moonkin model though

 

[Summoned]

I don't know where'd you get a moonkin model though

The WoW Moonkins are actually based on the Wildkin creeps.

 

[Avaleirra]

The WoW Moonkins are actually based on the Wildkin creeps.

Really? I was horde when I played but I always got the alliance and horde names mixed up. :s
