Albion (Twilight Rider)

Albion (Twilight Rider)

Lore

If there is any sagacious man as a reference of all ambiguity and incredulousness, Albion is the one. His omniscience is inexhaustible; every mystery of the dark ones and the radiance are within his grip. Yet, not even a single man is free from flaw. Ages and ages, after years gone parading legendary tales of his victory against those who dare to hinder his path, bearing the title nemesis of his, he got jaded of the same repetitious things over and over again; be it shattering murky darkness with his blinding shard of light or even annihilating malevolent forces that dwelled nearby. He executed and manoeuvred every plausible act, conjuring sacred magic, with hope that there will be no more shadow residing the world which in his vision, will be the peaceful, harmonious utopia without even the slightest sliver of agony and pain.

Unlikelihood of realizing the ludicrous mission of his had seized away his interest and vigour that had long he fought for during this one day when he visited the Great Archive of Sion, his arrogance of his boundless wit was violently yanked out of him once the Patron of the Annals read the Apothegmo Dictummus lo la Radiano et la Damigo Tum; articulating that for light and dark, neither can exist while the other extinct. For there will be no light when there's no dark to illuminate, for there will be no dark when there's no light to shroud. His condescension of his sapience had blinded him. How he felt ashamed of himself for his sanctity had escorted him far, way far beyond astray where there's no point of return.

Spending the last bit of his life, he is living in regret. Every single remaining day spent devotedly on his effort to spread the Doctrine of Equilibria, hoping that one day the world and even the power of higher mind than him will forgive him for he is a mere human, a man that forgotten but now had fathomed his ignorance.

Really interesting and complex hero, I like the spell combinations and tweaks, I'll +1 rep you for those great ideas :)

what is +1 rep ? thanks for you compliment .. :D

When you like an users post, you can give him +rep, the reputation appears under your username, you can see the +rep button above the post in the right.

You can +rep an user when you like his post or when he helps you, etc.

And since I liked your post, I gave you +rep :D It will appear under your username.

Oh well , thanks .. :) erm , yeah . so i did changes because a few skills only contributes the same thing again and again and again .. bonus damage only . so yeah .. i made changes and i hope u guys satisfied with it .

The first thing I thought after reading the ultimate - Invoker rip-off.

However, after reading some of your skills, I realize that they are pretty unique by themselves.

There is one problem. Your skills are a bit overpowered in my opinion. A few examples: your Dementor gives a 1000 AoE up to 31% slow, your unicorn riding gives you range equal to Sniper, your Stealth gives allies 20 second invis + buffs compared to Mirana's 11, etc.

In addition, your low cooldown on the 'invoke' ult lets you spam spells. All of your spells are very powerful by themselves, so I don't think spamming them will work.

I can recommend 2 suggestions. One, change many of the values of your spells. Secondly, you can change the invoke system so that instead of 'invoking' spells, you can have spells just by having the aura on. If you do this, you could also change the ult so that it lets you have 2 auras at once, 2 spells at once, then 3 auras at once.

yeah . i know . haha .. it is way too powerful . and i'll change . seriously , i am putting lots of effort in this hero and i really really need your advice . :) thanks btw . do keep an eye on the changes. i'm gonna be very happy for that.

This is a great idea for a hero. Very detailed. The numbers just seem a little imba as other people have said. I also think that the twilight curse spell should be single target and decrease the armor of the enemy instead of being a global allied weave and zeus ult combined.

Wow. This hero seems like Invoker, but more of a "good-guy". Could be Invoker's counter-part and they have some sort of background story between the two. Could be Invoker's long lost protege. I would love to play this hero.

Thanks a lot guys for the positive feedbacks . I had done a change to the twilight curse and added more detail and did some other improvements. :)
