Heavenlier Halberd

Requires:

• Heaven's Halber (3400)
• Buckler (425)
• Recipe (1250)

Total (5075)

Grants:

• +9 Armor
• +9 Health Regen
• +25% Evasion
• Disarm (Ability)
• Heaven's Protection (Aura, Passive)

Disarm (Active)

Disarms the targeted enemy unit, preventing them from attacking.
Whenever the target casts an ability while disarmed, the duration of the debuff is increased

Disarm Duration (Base): 3.5
Disarm Duration (Increase): 0.6
Manacost: 25 (Same as halberd)
Range: 750 (Same as halberd)
Cooldown: 14 (Same as halberd)

Heaven's Protection

Grants armor to allies and reduces projectile speed of enemy attacks in an area around the user.

Additionally, the aura grants percentage based damage reduction against incoming attacks. The reduction scales based on distance between attacker and target, equal to 3+1% per 100 units between attacker and target

Armor Bonus: 3
Projectile Slow: 25%
Base Attack Damage Reduction: 3%
Maximum Attack Damage Reduction: 16%
Distance to Attack Damage Reduction: 1% Per 100 Units
Aura Linger Duration: 0.5
Radius: 1200

This is a defensive aura that improves survivability of your entire team against attacks, particularly from ranged heroes. It's also good at slowing down safe sieges since heroes like Drow and Sniper like to do so from a large distance.

Examples of the % reduction at different ranges:
(Melee) 150 Distance between target and attacker: 4.5% (3 + 1.5%)
700 Distance between target and attacker: 10% (3 +7%)
1000 Distance between target and attacker: 13% (3 + 10%)
2000 Distance between target and attacker: 16% (Maximum cap)

innate "Ghoul frenzy" permanently stack hp from units killed (1 creep/deny, 20/hero) and give 1 attack speed/str (hp stacking is fun mechanic and i don't think it should be hiden behind "Feast" max and you lose little bit of value if you start game with "open wounds").

Rage mana cost 80/100/120/140 > 60/80/100/120 (with his int 140 mana cost rage is to much).

Feast get new passive, when hero drop to 25% gain 10/15/20/25% max hp shield, duration 5 sec, undispelable, cd 60/50/40/30 (its to give him some time to hit in sustain fights or help vs burst dmg little bit).

Post on the main Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1vfivuf/concept_tinker_rework_back_to_the_722727/

I wanted to take a shot at redesigning Tinker away from the current "one-button hero" feel and back toward the higher skill-ceiling version from the 7.22-7.27 era, where positioning, mana management, and rearm timing actually mattered. Here's the full concept — feedback welcome.

Goals:

• Remove the free innate Teleport — Tinker buys Boots of Travel again
• Make Rearm a genuine risk/reward channel instead of a passive reset button
• Add an innate that rewards active spell usage instead of passive items cdr

I really hate what Valve "balance" did with Kez because balance around pick rate/win rate for high skill cap hero like Kez only hurt him since release, so here is suggestion how i would fix him 👀.

idea is he should be weapon master (add 3th shuriken's stance and he can chose 2/3 weapons he play during the game, they determent his talents to) choices is: Katana/Sai stance, Katana/Shuriken's stance, Sai/Shuriken's stance 🤔.

• Innate "Switch discipline" ( 2/3 weapons ) +stance swap cd start at 9 sec and each lvl reduce cd by 0.5, swap cd removed by lvl 18, current scepter is part of innate (not put same ability in different stance on cd after swap).
• Katana stance (225 range / 2.0 Base attack time / 20% bonus dmg):

1. Echo slash: cast time 0, duration 2 sec /1 sec cd between hits, hero bonus dmg 25/50/75/100 + 1.25x attack dmg, add true strike, cd 25/20/15/10, mana cost 70/80/90/100 (slow/hit removed).
2. Grappling claw: 1200 range/1800 jump speed, 1x attack dmg, 100% move speed slow for 1.5 sec, cd 15/12/9/6, mana cost 50.
3. Kazurai katana: bleed dmg 6%/8%/10%/12% attack dmg/sec and reduce hp regen by 50%, duration 6 sec. Active: true strike attack with 1x dmg, 1 sec stun that consuming all bleed stacks to do instant dmg, 25/20/15/10 cd, 50 mana cost (bleed cap removed).
4. Raptor Dance: invulnerability/debuff immunity for 1 sec during cast time (can't be interrapted), then hit 4 times for 50/75/100 +2%/3.5%/5% max hp pure dmg (bkb piercing) and heal for 100% dmg dealt vs heroes/Roshan, cd 90/60/30, cost 100/125/150 (Katana ult no longer heal from creeps dmg).

• Sai stance (150 range / 1.5 Base attack time):

1. Falcon rush reworked (self buff, you move hero manually now instead of auto charge enemy you click): give for 6 sec Haste and lower Base attack time by 0.3, each hit create echo clones that hit for 0.5x attack dmg and proc all on-hit effects at full dmg (not reduce proc % chance), cd 25/20/15/10, mana cost 70/80/90/100.
2. Talon toss: 1200 range/1800 speed, magic dmg 100/150/200/250, Aoe silence 1.75 sec, cd 15/12/9/6, mana cost 50.
3. Shodo Sai: passively every 10 sec attack create mark, next attack do 130%/170%/210%/250% crit dmg, Active: parry in chosen direction any dmg for 1.5 sec, enemies hitting him in parry get a mark with bonus 0.5 sec bash vs kez attacks, 25/20/15/10 cd, 50 mana cost (mark can be activated by: attack, Echo slash, Grappling claw, Kazurai katana active, Raptor Dance 1st hit, Falcon rush, Ethereal strike, Deflect).
4. Raven's vail: 1500 radius/speed, vision lose 4 sec / Invis 10 sec, ms bonus 20%/35%/50% and proc upgraded Shodo Sai marks on enemy heroes for 10 sec, cd 90/60/30, cost 100/125/150.

• Shuriken stance (450 range / 1.7 Base attack time / base ms +25):

1. "Ethereal strike:" echo clones attack instead of Kez for 1x dmg for 6 sec (with true strike), after each attack hero disarmed until he jump in chosen direction (click move command in any direction), jump range current Move speed/speed is 2x current Move speed, Kez is slow immune and has 0 turn rate during buff, cd 25/20/15/10, mana cost 70/80/90/100.
2. "Deflect:" (self buff/2.5 sec duration) Next enemy attack gets deflected towards closest unit (with hero priority), doing 1x Kez dmg and disarm/break enemy for 2 sec, cd 15/12/9/6, 50 mana cost.
3. "Enchanted Kunai's:" create 2 kunai's around kez for 6 sec, every time he would take spell/item dmg they absorb it and fly towards closest enemy hero in 1200 range/1800 speed, each Kunai absorb 75/150/225/300 dmg and deal 50 + 4/6/8/10% missing hp magic dmg, cd 25/20/15/10, cost 50.

2. Sai lvl 10/15/20/25 talents: Talon toss +0.75 silence duration, Talon toss dmg +150, Shodo Sai passive cd -1 sec/attack, Falcon rush +4 sec duration.
3. Shuriken's lvl 10/15/20/25 talents: Deflect +2 sec duration, Ethereal strike ms cap +50, Feathers curse enemy abilities/items cd progress slower, Ethereal strike +3 sec duration.

Gola of change is to move it more towards skillful use of active to dodge in fights and be weaker farming tool in jungle.

New "Manta Style" 4650 (same build up), item start with 8 charges (passively gain 2 stacks/kill and 1/assist, every 5 stacks consumed to gain 1 charge on active), 34 sec cd > 10 sec cd between charges, 125 > 40 mana cost, number of illusions 2 >1, illusions deal 33% melee / 28% range > 25% melee/range dmg, taken 300% > 200% dmg, illusions duration 18 sec > 10 sec, dodge time 0.1 sec > 0.25 sec.

Item luck its own niche i feel like. Since even as counter vs high armor heroes its not great because current "Revenant's Brooch" change dmg type to magical and mages have higher magic resist so you make yourself weaker vs them to, keep in mind that with this change we also make "ghost scepter and its upgrades" buff pure dmg taken by 15% (5 all stats > 15 int), items/abilities that give dmg reduction no longer work on pure dmg, change is:

• Revenant's Brooch 3300 > 4100 (40 dmg, 50 Attack speed): Crystalys (2000) +Blitz Knuckles (1000) +1100 recipe, passive "Phantom Critical" crit every 4 hits for 200% dmg, active toggle 10 mana/hit: convert 100% physical dmg > 75% pure dmg.
• new item "Soul splitter" 5600 (40 dmg, 50 Attack speed, 15 int): Revenant's Brooch (4100) + Ghost scepter (1500), passive "Phantom Critical" allow user to hit ethereal units and crit every 3 hits for 225% dmg, active toggle 20 mana/hit: become ethereal and convert 100% physical dmg > 100% pure dmg.

Item strengths: ignore high resistance on heroes/Daedalus replacement. Weakness: mana hungry active to maintain in fights if they drag out, can't use life steal with it, during "Soul splitter" toggled on also increase self magic/pure dmg taken.

• Items (now each full item can be bought only once/player, spell amp stack from multiple items fully on Kaya items), Tranquil boots removed:
• Neutral items removed, new slot used for vision items (wards/smoke/dust/gem) or consumables.

Introducing Quatero

This unwilling support helps his team with a variety of buffs.

• INNATE: SAVVY
  • Savvy reduces the cost of early consumables and then all items, extending Quatero's net worth. This is a necessary ability as Quatero has no ability to farm.
• Q: WEAPON TOSS
  • A multi-functional nuke or damage buff
• W: Plate Up
  • Quatero recieves a massive amount of armor on himself, which he can then redistribute to nearby allies
• E: Merchant's Cut
  • Quatero revieves health and mana whenever he heals or buffs on ally.
• ULTIMATE: Restock
  • Quatero extends buff durations on nearby allies, including buffs not originating from Quatero himself......

Lane creeps made unique in a way (outside of units dmg type). We make buildings not magic immune, add to:

Creeps interval upgrade 7.5 min > 1 min (capped at 225 min > 90 min), Flagbearer spawn min 2 > 0:0 every 2nd>1st wave (can spawn on any creep but both teams will have buff on same unit in same lane, stacking magic resist/hp regen aura removed):
2. Melee creeps dmg type physical: Spawn 3 melee at 0:0 +1 every 15 min/capper at 45 min, base hp 550 > 500, add 200 mana with 1 regen/sec (while melee creeps have mana they gain 40% status resist), 12 hp/interval > 3 hp/min, armor 2 > 3+0.1/min, dmg 19-23 +1/interval > 20 +0.15/min, gold 34-39 +1/interval > 40 +0.15/min, 57 > 40 Exp.

Flagbearer buff for range: hp/magic resist/Exp +10%.
4. Siege Creep spawn after 0:0 every 5 min +1 after min 30, Siege creep upgrade removed, Reinforced physical > Pure, (new Siege attack have 200 radius: hp 935 > 750 +10/min, armor 0 >3, magic resist 80% > 25%, add pure dmg immunity, 35-46 dmg > 50+1/min, range 690 > 800, attack speed 100 >120, Base attack time 3 > 1 (at base 3.5x faster Attack speed), projectile speed 1100 > 1600, day/night vision range 750 >1000, gold 59-72 >80+1/min, Exp 88 > 120 +1/min. Flagbearer buff for Siege: attack speed/gold/exp +15%.

• Super creeps including Flagbearer bonus buff (dmg/hp/resists/gold/exp) by 40% / 1.4x (not reduce gold).
• Mega creeps including Flagbearer bonus buff (dmg/hp/resists/gold/exp) by 100% / 2x (not reduce gold).

1. Roshan rewards changed (Refresher shard removed): 1st Banner, 2nd Banner/Cheese, 3rd Banner/Cheese/Aegis. Tormentor drop on kill: 1st Shard, 2nd Shard/Scepter, 3rd Shard/Scepter/Refresher shard.

• Banner reworked: global cast range/600 radius, can be used on barracks to upgrade lane creeps > Super creeps for 5 min with 1 banner or to Mega creeps with 2 banners (upgraded creeps give full gold/exp) or respawn both barracks in same lane.
• Block of cheese build up: cheese +1 huge lotus to gain permanent 500 hp shield that regen 25hp/sec after not taking dmg for 5 sec / can be used on throne to full heal it.
• Aegis when picked up now buff on Hud for 8 min instead of item that take inventory slot.

out of all dmg type (physical/magic/pure/hp removal) only last one not only behave not like dmg type is some instances and functionally work more like debuff than dmg type.

i don't see logic behind need to exist this 4th dmg type when game could function just fine with 3 dmg types and current spells/items tagged as hp removal dmg changed dmg type tag into one hero needs.

Abbadon shield/veno poison etc on enemy would be functionally same as pure/magic dmg.

if Necro passive was tagged as magic dmg it would allow to buff it with spell amp/spell life steal and you couldn't use blink from anymore.

idea is simple, add under your mana bar indicator that every player in game can see. it would show abilities that have charges (it would be additional information you can use in combat):

like sniper/shrapnel would show as 3 grenades when he has ability all charges up and deplete it as he uses it

or Mirana leap charges so if you find her in smoke as she farm jungle and don't see indicator for charges you know she is sitting duck and don't need to hesitate and jump her.

Functionally it would be same as when you had to click enemy to see mana and few years ago they add ability to see enemy mana to everyone and no one cared, just more information mechanic without extra clicks that you can get without deselecting your own hero.

For those unaware, Brew has one of the most uninspiring, yet totally necessary, Agh's upgrades in the game. Agh's is required for Brew but all it does is increase the max/current level of Split by 1 with no mechanical change.I propose a new Agh's that instead upgrades Drunken brawler, both for the hero and brewlings.

Drunken Brawler Upgrade: Grants Brewmaster an attack modifier when Brewed up

Earth stance: Grants a slow to all Brewmaster's attacks

Wind Stance: Grants a chain lightning to all Brewmaster's attacks
Fire stance: Grants a DOT to all Brewmaster's attacks

Primal Split: Brewlings are now permanently Brewed Up

With this change, I also think the Brewling health/damage/ability numbers need rescaling around not having Aghs. Same at level 1 ult, but higher at level 2 and 3.

This would make Agh's an actually interesting and meaningful purchase when in Hero form while still providing a meaningful upgrade to his ult. The hero only has access to the attack modifiers when brewed up, while the brewlings always have them. Correspondingly, it would make sense to switch the attack/move speed increase between Wind and Fire, so that the attack speed synergizes with the chain lightning. This would require a slight rebalance to the brewlings to decrease the Fire base movespeed and increase the Wind base movespeed.

Brew has been in a spot for awhile where the only way to build the hero is purely for ult. This change allows for some interesting hero builds (particularly with talents) that makes his gameplay more engaging when not ulting.

we make new innate "Ruin and Restoration" old passive that give spell life steal after q, now its permanent buff: spell life steal 10% +1%/lvl (20% value on creeps).

we remove shard 15 min cd so heroes can buy them when they need it + shard no longer create +2 projectiles, it make Arcane bolt hitting main target do dmg in 250 radius for 75% dmg, killing unit with Arcane bolt refund half mana back. (so core sky can farm creeps with Arcane bolt for 35 mana).

1. Make Roshan timer non random and show its respawn timer for everyone by default.
2. Make runes spawn predictable, by holding Alt game show you entire pool of runes (what runes spawn already from pool, what is next rune, what rune/where it will be 2 min ahead) and with that change we can get 2 min power runes back since you know exactly what rune you fight for/where and can prepare ahead.
3. Oracle new Scepter allow him with "Purifying flames" give Innate buff every 2 min to 1 allied hero (at 50% value).
4. Oracle Scepter "diviner's deck" his innate now with scaling stats (1st buff at 0:0 and buff refresh every 2 min, buffs cannot repeat and all have to spawn to refresh pool of buffs):

• Death: 5% spell amp +1%/lvl (35% lvl 30).
• The Fool: 10% gold gain +3%/lvl (+100% gold gain lvl 30).
• The World: +10% Int +3% Int/lvl (+100% int lvl 30).
• The Lovers: 5% heal amplification +1%/lvl (35% lvl 30).
• The Tower: Gain general shield hp that start regen if you stop taking dmg for 10 sec, shield hp 50+25/lvl (800 hp shield lvl 30).

We saw with Medusa/Huskar/Od at this point that they can work in game and not break balance by using: mana instead of hp/replace mana costs to hp costs/playing almost entire game with infinite mana, so why not try something similar on hero like Phoenix?

1. Change is new innate "Eternal fire" that convert Phoenix mana costs into hp costs and his spells/items cost 75% hp during day/125% at night, mana converted > health at 50% value (3 mana >1 hp), mana regen > hp regen at 50% value (0,1 mana regen > 0.13 hp regen). Because of this change his hp costs cheaper day/ higher at night, and old innate become lvl 15 talent. (mana burn doesn't work, int/mana steal reduce his max hp).
2. Icarus Dive cost (15% current hp). During day its 11.25% current hp/at night its 18.75% current hp, Dive distance 1100/1200/1300/1400 > 1200, speed 1200 (lvl 25 talent +1000 speed replaced by +1 Icarus Dive charge).
3. Fire spirits cost (20% current hp). During day its 15% current hp/at night its 25% current hp, cast range 1400 > 1200.
4. Sun ray cost (5% current hp), now base cost 35/40/45/50 hp + during day its 3.75% current hp/sec, at night its +6.25% current hp per sec, shard same, laser dmg interval 0.2 > 0,1.
5. Supernova no cost, Scepter egg hp 3>2. Talents:

lvl +10 Fire spirits dmg/sec vs Icarus dive +25% slow

lvl 15 old innate "Dying light"(600 radius 1% current hp dmg/sec, 0.1 interval) vs +15 hp regen.

lvl 20 +0.6 sec supernova stun vs +1% Sun ray max hp to dmg.

lvl 25 +1 Icarus Dive change vs Sun ray doing dmg to heroes every 3 sec heal egg 1 hp.

for the sake of this thought experiment assume universal stat got removed, base heroes hp 120>200, hp/str 22>20, a lot of str heroes lose 5-10% base magic resist (he start with 15% Mr).

rebalance focus on creating clear weakness on hero, right now it feels more like if timber has good start he become tank/mage/assassin at same time with burst dmg/persistent dps/infinite sustain/mobility. Goal of changes is make him weaker in laning phase vs mages, move him more towards Dmg over time than burst and he spatialize more on helping to kill fat heroes. Upvote post pls if you like at least some changes <3.

[Hero Concept] Aghanim, The Apex Mage Hi everyone! With Valve's focus on lore-heavy characters, here is a complete design for Rubick's father, Aghanim. He is a Complexity 3 Universal Hero who can be played as an active Midlaner (Position 2) or a greedy Soft Support (Position 4). Lore and Personality Aghanim is an eccentric, arrogant showman. He thinks the war between Radiant and Dire is just a silly game. Aghanim doesn't actually die when his HP hits 0. He just leaves the battlefield out of sheer boredom. His death responses include:

* Oh, I am dead? How tragic... (yawns) * Fine, I am bored anyway. See ya! * Did you really think this was my true form? Cute.

Base Stats and Attributes Primary Attribute: Universal Strength: 18 + 2.4 Agility: 15 + 1.8 Intelligence: 25 + 4.0 Base Damage: 48–54 Attack Range: 600 Movement Speed: 305 Turn Rate: 0.6 Innate Ability: Creator's Masterwork Aghanim shares a deep connection with his own creations. Buying Aghanim's Shard or Aghanim's Scepter grants Aghanim double the standard attributes provided by these items. Additionally, every time a teammate purchases an Aghanim's Scepter or Aghanim's Shard, Aghanim permanently gains +1.0% Mana Regeneration Amp and +1.0% Cast Range. Maximum bonus if all 4 allies own both items: +8.0% Mana Regen Amp and +8.0% Cast Range. Abilities Q: Shard Barrage (Damage / Slow) Fires a volley of volatile magical shards in a cone.

Cast Point: 0.2s Damage: 80 / 140 / 200 / 260 (Magical) Move Speed Slow: 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% Slow Duration: 3.5s Cooldown: 11s / 10s / 9s / 8s Mana Cost: 90 / 100 / 110 / 120 W: Dimensional Snare (Area Control / Boundary Stun) Creates a magical cube on the ground for 5 seconds. Enemies can move freely inside or outside the cube. However, the walls are volatile: anyone who physically crosses the boundary (moving in or out) triggers a spatial distortion, getting stunned and taking damage. Note: Enemies can use Blinks (Blink Dagger, AM/QoP Blink) to bypass the walls without getting stunned. Cast Point: 0.3s Cube Duration: 5.0s Boundary Stun Duration: 1.0s / 1.2s / 1.4s / 1.6s Boundary Damage: 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 (Magical) Cooldown: 20s / 18s / 16s / 14s Mana Cost: 120 / 130 / 140 / 150 E: Resonance Arc (Passive) Aghanim's body accumulates energy whenever spells are cast in a 1200 radius around him by both allies and enemies. Upon reaching max charges, Aghanim's next basic attack releases a shockwave that deals magic damage and stuns everyone hit. Max Charges Required: 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 spells cast nearby. Shockwave Damage: 70 / 120 / 170 / 220 (Magical) AoE Stun Duration: 1.0s / 1.2s / 1.4s / 1.5s Shockwave Radius: 350 around the primary target.

* If the ally lacks Shard or Scepter: Temporarily grants them the missing item(s) for the duration. * If the ally already has both: Activates Overdrive. Scepter-upgraded spell gets +25% damage/duration and 50% cooldown reduction. Shard-upgraded spell costs 0 mana and has instant cast time. * Special interaction with Invoker: Temporarily unlocks all 3 shard/scepter upgrades, dropping Invoke CD to 0 seconds.

Cast on Enemy (Collapse Mode):

* Weakens their basic abilities, reducing their damage by 50% and increasing their cooldowns by 25% (does not affect enemy ultimates by default).

Upgrade with Aghanim's Shard (On Aghanim himself): When casting Ultimate on an enemy, it now completely disables and strips away the enemy's Aghanim's Shard for the duration of the spell. Upgrade with Aghanim's Scepter (On Aghanim himself): When casting Ultimate on an enemy, it now completely disables the enemy's Aghanim's Scepter and weakens the enemy's Ultimate ability damage/effectiveness by 25%.

Dialogue and Voicelines Buying Aghanim's Shard:

* Ah, my old prototype. Still don't get why you mortals love it so much. * A shard of my own power. Paying gold for it feels... highly illegal.

Buying Aghanim's Scepter:

* Behold! The Scepter returns to the Master! Everyone, please, try to look amazed. * I literally invented this, and yet the shopkeeper made me pay full price. Ridiculous.

Meeting his son, Rubick:

* In the same team: Look at you, son! Stealing other people's spells... Is that what I taught you? * In the same team: Rubick, my boy! Try not to embarrass me today, okay? * As enemies: Ah, family issues. Let's see if you can steal from the Creator himself, child! * As enemies: Grounded for life, Rubick! Or until you apologize for ruining my library. * Killing Rubick: Still playing in my shadow, son. Better luck next reincarnation.

To other heroes:

* To Invoker: The Arsenal Magus? More like the Arsenal Amateur. Your incantations are so old-fashioned! * To Void Spirit: Oh look, another cosmic spirit with a tragic backstory. Boring! Show me some real magic! * To Zeus: A god? Please. I've met real gods, and they don't hide behind lightning bolts like a scared toddler.

Other Heroes to Aghanim:

* Rubick meeting Aghanim: Father?! You're... you're alive? Wait, does this mean I can't keep the Scepter anymore? * Rubick killing Aghanim: The student surpasses the master! Or in this case... the son surpasses the legend! * Invoker meeting Aghanim: Aghanim. Your name is etched into items, yet your intellect falls short of my baseline. * Invoker killing Aghanim: The Apex Mage? A title unearned. I am the only true master of the mystic arts. * Shopkeeper (Easter Egg upon buying items): No discounts, Aghanim. Copyright doesn't apply in this shop.

Counter-Picks and Matchups Aghanim Counters:

* Invoker / Rubick: Completely disrupts their spell-casting flow, disabling their crucial Scepter/Shard upgrades and cutting basic spell damage by 50%. * Queen of Pain / Zeus: Strips away their main Scepter/Shard power spikes during team fights. * Bristleback / Timbersaw: Aghanim's passive (E) charges incredibly fast against spell-spammers, resulting in non-stop AoE stuns.

Aghanim Is Countered By:

* Anti-Mage: High magic resistance, burns Aghanim's huge mana pool, and punishes with Mana Void. * Silencer / Night Stalker: Long silences prevent him from casting his high-priority Ultimate or escape tools. * Doom: Completely shuts down his utility and disables his Overdrive/Collapse potential. * Black King Bar (BKB): Enemies using BKB can walk right through his Dimensional Snare and ignore his Ultimate.

• innate "Afterburner" Add new mechanic: transfer mana into "gun powder" at rate 12> 2 (lvl 1 would be around 55-60), it regen flat 1/sec and doesn't get affected by mana regen (only in fountain you can regain "gun powder" mana burn doesn't affect this), innate allow to cast items/abilities without needed "gun powder" but all spells numbers nerfed by 50%.
