New Skill Suggestions

existing skills that i think should be added are

faerie fire (ultimate): lowers armor of the hero by 20/40/60/80 cd 140sec at all lvls

war stomp (offensive skills): should be on offensive skill's tavern instead of on heroes as *free skilll*

drunken haze (misc skills):give chance to miss + slows target

breath of fire (offensive tavern): does damage and combined with the drunken haze does damage over time.

starfall (offensive skills): mayb make it like dota n cut duration and decrease cool down

stampede (offensive): same make it short n even shorter cd.

searing arrow (misc): just like psn thing on that tavern cept add damage and costs mana.


entangling root (defensive): works like stun + can b purged i think*

Mirror Image (ultimate): makes 2 clone at all levels however they get better each level and also deals damage unlike cloned units from items.
lvl1 deals 25% and takes 300%
lvl2 deals 35% and takes 275%
lvl3 deals 45% and takes 250%
lvl4 deals 55% and takes 225%

Battle roar (defensive?): increase damages of all party member temporarily

Orb of annilation (misc): sort of like searing but with small aoe like fire orb.

Transmute (Ultimate): turns creeps and only creeps into massive amounts of gold

lvl1 550
lvl2 1200
lvl3 2400
lvl4 4600

these seems about rite seeing as other players can farm just as much using volc or meteor on creeps.

stats (misc): each level add certain amount of stats to the hero.

ok first transmute would be rigged so much cool down would have to be like 6-7 minuts

cause thats way to much gold for lvl 4 but i would also suggest that

stats would be terrible because the stats wont go away and it wuld do no good because i beleive there is already a skill that adds a bonus and it has cool down and plus that would take away the purpose for items.

ok heres my suggestion

(Cant find name) (ultimate) : it basicly has 3 hits per use so u useit and it tele's you around there hero your attacking and hits u 3 times in different spot's after hitting the hero 3 times
it goes back to it was at first and the target hero has slower attack and move speed.

idk if its good or not but i think its pretty cool not sure if possible tho

Taunt (misc): Makes all nearby enemy units attack you.

This would be a good skill for tanks, and it would encourage teamwork.

I disagree, the Transmute skill isn't an offensive skill you can only use it on creep so it should have this amount of gold since it will not be of any use against players and in duels.

Could always make tranmute into a sort of goblins greed which gives extra gold per unit killed. Practically the same idea.

10
20
30
40 extra gold if its an ultimate

or maybe a misc skill that gives 2 xtra gold per level.

2x12= 24 extra gold per unit kill.

Comboed with a farming skill and one can become rich pretty fast.

skills like that would quickly become a "must have" much like bonus stats used to be the only thing leveled until it was maxed. I think, not positive, skills like transmute/doom, ect only work on creeps up to level 10. in WC3 creeps dont get over level 10, so I think that could be why. And if there isnt a level cap on it, people could run in and 1 shot fire guard and gain 8 levels at once.

seems pretty difficult to use ><

perhaps transmute could be a finishing move to gain extra gold for a kill? perhaps it deals a set amount of damage so users must use it correctly for the extra gold, and each level it could be "base gold given from transmute * hero level or could be * skill level" i would probably choose this myself as a skill, but i dont think it should be ultimate, i think it should be the offensive or support move

the main problem I have against this, is while in the testing for unlimited 2, we tried an "extra gold" mode. And it didnt seem like a lot at first.. But we managed to make it so that by the 2nd duel, we were getting immortals shield.

When we first started using it, we were getting it at 4th and 5th duels. But with skills like that, people can learn to perfect them, and become over powered with them.

I feel that any form of transmute would either be overpowered, or worthless. There really is no grey area with that skill.

I was thinking of adding transmute, actually. BEFORE we made and tested extra gold mode. And even if the gold from transmute was 1/4 of what we had, it would still be OP by mid game.

If there was an option to have zero skills, but get 50% more gold from creeping/kills, then I would take that option every game. Gold is OP, nerf it :p

good point lol, perhaps it could be a bit op, theres another hero based thing called herok or something and when i play i always take the transmute, from 1x kill you usally get around 10 gold but with it you get the 10 gold + 40 extra for transmtue, i can usually kick up better items than everyone else by the time we all first fight eachother leading to an army of leavers :p perhaps my hero suggestion could suit cha more?

This may seem dumb but wouldnt transmute make the perfect innate skill for a hero? Instantly kills a creep (insert level cap here) 45-60 second cool down 140 mana. Max Level say Level 12? Which would be too low for the black gate and too low for guards. Useful early game useless late game, sounds familair?


Another Innate Goblins Greed (3 xtra gold a unit kill) Lightning kill 4 units 43+3 43+3 43+3 etc....

Might be worth a try but maybe your right maybe that can become too imbalanced.

early game imba = late game imba

when you grab that much gold early on and get those uber items ure enemies aint going anywhere, once you start winning duel after duel that 250 extra gold per duel plus per mob is gonna stack up on em uber badly, so i think a transmute based skill is a bit too far for this gametype :p

How is that imba though? Cant a person just as easily grab a few kills using a nuke? I honestly fail to see how a skill that kills a creep instantly, is overly OP so you get the creeps worth in gold its no different then using a nuke to kill several creeps at once. From level 1-12 creeps gold values are any where between what 50-300. Am I missing something here? Your saying a skill that kills creeps every minute is overly imbalanced? Or are you talking about Greed with 3xtra gold a kill?

im talking about a skill which can be leveled up for more gold or a skill which is going to give more gold, its a bit imba for gaining items faster which puts it one sided if they are going for a skill which should be good in pvp

even though you use skill points to get the extra gold, that gold gets you items, which allows you to level more, and get more skill points...

So for pvp you have, a few less skill points into pvp skills, but a few more levels, and many more items. The farther ahead you get, the harder it is for your opponent to creep, and the easier it is for you to creep. Giving you more gold, and them less.

Any skill that gives bonus gold would (within a week) become a skill that is required by every player if they hope to stand a chance.

Then make it gains lesser gold
An Ultima skill that can kill all creeps around you is quite strong enough to compare with that Transmute which kills only one creep and give extra gold (but exp is not as much as Met)
That skill can only give you gold and a creep's exp so dont think it'll give ya much more advantages. Met gives you more exp to level up, more gold and advantages in battles

yeah, and now comes the balancing.... How much gold does a farming skill give you? How much exp do you get? how much gold is that exp worth? How high of a level should you be able to transmute?

Compared to any farming ult, this skill would either be OP, or worthless. You really cant makes it exactly the same as a farming skill, any less and it is useless though, any more, and it is OP.

Also, with skill like transmute, I believe, the max level it can be cast on is 10. I will look into it, but on DOOM and other skills of that nature, 10 is max.

I still have no intent of adding transmute though.

Uhm so what's creeps's max level ?
Low level creeps dont appear at late game, so dont make it useless
If ya gonna add that much gold plus, so it's cooldown must be high. But if ya decrease the cooldown, so do the gold plus it'll be more balance
Compare Transmute with Met and find out how to balance it

why the hell does this topic keep going...

ive said 8-9 times, that it doesnt work on creeps over level 10, and that I am not going to add it anyway. stop it already!

Why that sound
Uhm then
Death Touch (Offensive)
Range : 100 (meele, ofcourse)
Damage : 135 x levels
Mana cost : 100 + 75x levels
Cooldown : 13 (death's number ^^ )
Based on Storm Bolt, so it should stun opponent for a small duration
Due to it's close range and high mana cost, it will deal a great damage

^^ now THAT is a suggestion I like ^_^

Uhm I think Taunt can be a useful skill, if ya decrease it's cooldown to the lowest (in order to disrupt enemies), and it's mana cost should be free ^^ it's nothing proud to pay mana to get struck
Earth Quake (Offensive or Misc)
Damage : 0 +_+
Range : 500~600
Slow : 80% (Movement speed), 10% + 3%x level (Attack Speed)
Duration : 6s
Cooldown : 12s
Mana cost : 150 + 30x level
Based on Slam or Thunder Clap, doesnt deal damage but most likely stop opponent's movement

An awesome skill would be an "omni-slash" like in dota. Make the hero jump from unit to unit hitting them extremely quickly (can make so stuns).

I dont think it's possible to make that skill fit all characters
if ya pick Ranger, it'll be funny to see her jump on other heads )
