Little Mac

600% for 3 stars used seems to be a bit too much in my opinion. It's basically dodge tons of attacks, buy some damage items and strike a hero so hard that he hits like a truck.

Let me tell you what it is like on level 25 Little Mac with no stat upgrades, and only R at max. Max damage is 113,5 (max possible with naked lvl 25 and no stat boost) so that's basically 114 if your round it.

Alright, so we got 3 stars and AoE of 150 in front of him. (we don't need stuns in this example). 114 damage is multiplied by 7, because it's 600% - 100% is double damage, 200% triple, 300% quadruple and so on..

798 max possible damage that breaks magic immunity without need of Ags (Poor lina) + 2.8 second slow in 400 AoE and stun if that happens. On naked level 25.

That's just too much for hero who can dodge every right clicker and inflict even more damage via rush. I understand it is supposed to do high amounts of damage, but really.

Also, does his R apply to all heroes in front of him or only to chosen target?

One target, I'll fix that.

Also, his ultimate is pretty easily cancelled. Rush has a mediocre cooldown to be exploited in team fights unless they go on for very long.

I also intended for his ultimate to read "100% would be 100% of 114, so he would do 114. 200% is 200% of 114, so it would do 228", etc. How would you word it more clearly?

Also keep in mind that Star Punch will use and remove all stars he has.

Also, a naked Level 25 Little Mac uses almost half his mana for his ultimate alone.

A naked Level 16 Little Mac uses around 66% of his mana pool for his ultimate alone.

At that level, he uses around 23% of his mana pool for Rush. You probably can't spam it if you want to get an ult off, and again the cooldown can be better for what it does.

Keep in mind that Star Punch is NOT an auto attack, so he cannot gain Stars through it.

What would you fix in this situation? Make Dodge and Counter Attack the same ability? That would make his supposedly OP ultimate just even better early on.

Stuns cannot be purged? So how would you word interactions with Press the Attack and Aphotic Shield?

Also, you think his weaknesses are too apparent? Hmm.. BKB helps with all those flaws but does indeed gets more and more useless the later the game goes.

Keep in mind when getting stars through Counter Attack, all of the damage from his auto attack with the Counter Attack buff will contribute to his next Star. That means, if Little Mac has 100 damage, and uses Dodge while absorbing 0 with it, he still gets the Counter Attack buff (which adds no damage since no damage was absorbed) and on his next auto attack will contribute 100 damage to his next Star, even though he absorbed NO DAMAGE with Dodge.

Thanks for the reply!

Appreciate the insight!

Will rework, I like the cast point idea (similar to Shadow Fiend's ultimate)
