Mikael the Archangel

Mikael The Archangel

Hero Introduction

This hero is not actually a draft hero, even if it fits the theme of the first part of the fifth FoC (a nemesis). This hero was actually created a loooooonggg time ago, but I've never posted it because well.... it's not that good, and the idea of Archangel has been posted quite a bit in here. However, as the warm-up of this spawnfest, I'd like to post this hero! Please be considerate that this was created quite a long time ago and my english or my hero creating skill was not so good then.

Anyway, this hero was meant to be a hard support, with italic hard. The idea was to make a position 5 hero with a ****load of micro skill, similar to Visage. This hero is actually very impactful in laning phase as well as teamfights because of the regenerations, heals and purges he has.

Lore

Hailing from the realm behind the light, Mikael was The Archangel of the holy city of Vashundol, a rank given to the highest general of the entire soldier rank called Angel. Bearing his own blade of blazing light, he has defended the Divine and with the wings of radiant luminescence he has rebuked those who opposes the Heaven since time immemorial.

He had heard about the legend of Lucifer, said to be the strongest Archangel long ago that defy the Divine and fell to the earth. He did not know of the truth and he did not wish to seek for it, however, it all changes when the Divine sent him on a mission to slay Lucifer. As the most loyal Archangel to ever flew in the hall of Vashundol, he agreed without questions, for he knew that the deviant one would stay deviant until the very soul is taken and burned away.

Seventy times seven centuries had passed and Mikael has yet to slay Lucifer, seemingly known as the Doom Bringer in this earth. He knew however, that the time is coming, and very soon Lucifer shall be brought down for the Divine. With his newfound allies and angels at his command, his rank as the Archangel shall be known throughout the battleground as the beloved of his allies and purge of his enemies.

Hey Yzreel!

Is the purge from the {Q} a normal purge or a strong purge? And it's really strong, the first skill.

There's a slight inconsistency between the description of {Q} and the angel's skills: Is it "Divine Protection" or "Holy Protection?" Is it "Divine Intervention" or just "Intervention?"

Speaking of Intervention, how does the skill work? Is the allied effect a buff with a duration? Can it be purged? How does it "disable the attacks of that enemy?" Is it a Taunt, or what? And honestly, a 5 second taunt at level 1? That's absolutely crazy. Duel in comparison is a 4 second taunt at level 6.

Or maybe I'm misreading it and is a pseudo-disarm? Or is it a miss chance? Like, do the disabled attacks apply UAMs?

The aura is good, except a global 3 armour might be a bit strong, think in comparison to Arcane Aura.

Retribution is a bit weak, which is good to compensate for the {Q}. The area damage is predictable, and the pure damage death thing is negligible. (compared to 800 magical of necrobook)

{R}: The cooldown of the level 3 ult is too low, imo. 5 seconds of +50% maximum HP? That's freaking ridiculous. and 30 seconds cooldown? That... needs a bit of a fix, imo.

I don't think granting Retribution to everyone is necessarily that good though. They're no supposed to die.

So... with one click of a button, all my teammates have +50% health, 50% damage reduction, 10 armour, and a giant sign above their head saying "Don't kill me."

That's is one OP ult.

Other than that, good job!
Cheers!

Guardian Angel can be purged and the units are still weak to magical and pure damage. Right?

And it has a 150 second cooldown at level 3, compared to the 40 (!) of this skill.

I've updated the hero accordingly, the ultimate now has a fixed 80 seconds cooldown in all level.

Thanks for your feedback sofa!

P.S: Sorry if this one hero is not that good, bear in mind that this one is a rather old hero that I ended up not posting because of well... it's sort of not good lol (that's why it's just a warm-up before the real spawnfest in September!)

Stay tuned for the real ones!

Yay! Thanks, Yzreel. Can't wait for the real ones!
