Notes:
  • Blocks damage before any reductions.
  • Recasting the ability does not place a new buff. It refreshes the current buff's duration, but does not refresh the absorb capacity of the barrier.
  • Does not stack with other magical barriers.
  • If multiple sources of barriers are active on a unit, all of them lose capacity from the same absorbed damage instance.

This is really, really OP in my opinion. He has so much nuke, damage and tank potential, not to mention his ultimate that makes him pretty much invulnerable and his 1.6 base attack time. If Faceless Void and this hero were in a chrono face off, this hero will win hands-down assuming both have equal farm, or even if this hero has 1 less item.

Let's compare this hero to Spectre. This hero has more early-game power, more late-game power and more tank-ability. To make it clear why, I will address what I think is wrong here.

This hero has a 320 damage nuke. Compared to Spectre's poor nuke that isn't really for the damage, but for the increased speed and slight slow. What makes Bolt of Change so good? High damage, a relatively low cooldown, good range and a good AoE. Good for instantly taking a huge chunk of multiple enemies' health or killing off low-health enemies early game.

Boon of Mutation gives him 55% magic resist at level 4. 55%! Why would he need to be so tanky? He already has decent starting strength and 2.10 strength gain to begin with. It's almost as OP as Berzerker's Blood. But wait, there's more! It gives you 33% physical resist as well! So that you can't hit or cast against this carry to kill him. Compared to Spectre, he can tank nearly 30% more magic damage and 20% more physical damage. I think this one really needs to be nerfed.

His ultimate makes him invulnerable. And free blademail. With a 60 second cooldown at level 3. What's not to like?

These 3 abilities are not inherently imbalanced, but if you combine them into this hero, it becomes really imbalanced. Nerfs are in order.


However, I do think that it is a good idea, and I like the work that you put into the concept art, it looks geart! I just think it needs a lot of adjustments to prevent it from becoming first-pick or first-ban material. No hard feelings :)

I don't why do you look at this hero like he is OP when I clearly tested him out. He ain't that broken. He will not be a 1st pick or ban he could be 1st pick thx to the ulty.

Now I'd like to know how he matches up 1v1 vs the carries you mentioned. Can he manfight Faceless Void? Because with. 33% physical resistance I'm quite sure he can.

Well of course he can. But he is stronger than Faceless Void if they're both fed.

concept art taken from warhammer 40K Chaos Codex (2001) it is of Ahriman the Divine.
please if using photo's, put the source material.

you have basically ported Ahriman from warhammer 40k.

(probably should give some credit to them since the name and most of the abilities are the same for him in the 40k codex.. i.e. chaos bolt, gene mutation, fates call, and deamon gate.. as the abilities are called in the 40k universe)

i like the crossover from chaos in the warhammer universe into the dota universe i like the work you have put into it. i personally would love a MOBA built around the 40k universe it would be AMAZING haha but yea ...

make sure you note that this hero has already been created.

I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL.... WITH FLUFFY BUNNIES
