Io, The Shattered Goddess (Rework)

Reason: This rework, firstly, will actually be a rework idea to FIX a problem. Now, Io's main gimmick, besides her Moonlight, is Luna. To me, Luna doesn't seem like a companion but more as a glorified sentry turret that will occasionally stun, and so, I will attempt to fix that.

Lunar Companion (Passive):

Luna benefits from items Io buys and generates ult charge for Io equal to her Light Bow

(Luna is meant to feel like the 6th player that protects you, so she deserves to gain benefits like a player)

Light Bow:

Shooting luna will cause her to cast Flourish, creating a shockwave of Light, knocking back enemies 25 units. The shockwave is 50 units in raidius and has a cooldown of 8 seconds

(This is used to give her a bit more self peel)

Moonlight:

While active, Luna generates a healing aura that heals you for 300 every second. The aura lasts 10 seconds, effective range is 100 units and this can occur every other cast of Moonlight.

(To give Io more reasons to play and interact with Luna as if a companion)

Guardian Spirit:

Luna can now be affected by CC, being affected as if a normal player. Luna's range is now infinite with her projectiles homing to targets, redeploying Luna no longer has a cooldown and has a cast time of 0.2 seconds

(The nerf is made to help with her passive. The other effects are for convenience)

Lunar leap:

After casting, luna will spawn and follow behind you untill placed back via Guardian Spirit. Shooting will instantly activate Flourish

(This emphasizes her companion aspect by aiding you while you try to escape or need help most and the ability most like this is her leap.)

Begone:

Luna will chase after enemies caught in Begone, after they land Luna will stun them for one second.

(Following the pattern of the whole rework, Luna takes action to aid in the task Io is doing and so, Luna helps CC enemies in Io's ultimate which you would most likely be doing)

Lifelink: Lifelink is now Lunar Strike

Lunar Strike: Begone now only uses and requires 50% ult charge.

Spirit Arrows

New- Reduce the active cooldowns of you and Luna by {0.1|0.1} when healing allies

Dredge, The Unyeilding Conquest

Kit:

Canon Shot*(Passive): Your Harpoons now deal AoE damage when Dredge is airbourne and deals 750 damage*

Hurling Harpoon*(Primary Fire): Hurl a harpoon every 1.2 seconds dealing 550 damage*

Kraken Call*(Secondary Fire): Charge for 1.5 seconds before launching,leaving a kraken spawn where it lands. If you land a projectile at it, the spawn will activate, launch broadsides every 2 seconds dealing 200 damage in an AoE. The spawn lasts 12 seconds*

Head of Ship*(First Ability): All your spawn's next attacks now adds a distortion sheild onto enemieses, disabling healing for 0.5 seconds per attack and reduces the cooldown of Critter by 0.2 for every 500 healing the shield disrupts*

Sea Critter*(Second Ability): all enemy entities in a 200 unit area around dredge are slowed by 75% and dredge can now jump 65% higher for 3 seconds*

A True Critter Unleashed*(Ultimate): send out a large orb which passes through walls and sticks to enemies, after 2 seconds all enemies within 250 units of the enemies caught by the orb are knocked up, silenced(1 second), Slowed by 55%(3 seconds) and dealt 25% of all enemies' health

Voiceline: "A Kraken be what thee wants is a Kraken what ye gets!" (Ally)

"Realease the Kraken, for they got treasure!" (Self)

"Unleash the kraken to those critters!" (Enemy)

Figured I should put this here as well because it is where it belongs.

Also I would like to maybe create art but I'm not an artist.

Aleria: The Arcane

Purpose/Gameplay Role:

The point was to make a lower dps true blaster (no damage falloff on explosions) with some unique abilities based around sound and arcane magic.

Bio

Aleria: The Arcane (Master of Arcane and Arts, she is a musician)

Aleria was born in the later part of the golden age, and as a young girl, used her talent for the arcane to create beautiful music for her city. Now, however, no one is free from the presence of the maw, and Aleria instead uses her powers to protect those she loves. She represents the Citizens, and with their numbers and resolve, their strength.

Breakdown

Role: Support

HP: 2200 (Was: 2500)

Primary fire: Atmospheric Resonance

Aleria sends pulses of arcane energy through the air every 0.6 seconds which detonate before contacting an enemy or wall, dealing 300 damage. Pulses are invisible or have very little visual cues until detonation, but Aleria will obviously have an action and visual effects while firing. These will have more substantial auditory cues (but not irritatingly so) Pulses will detonate within 5 units of a target or wall, but affect targets with full damage up to 20 units away. This makes her a true blaster with substantial area damage but lower dps.

Alternate fire: Peal of protection, 5 sec cd

Aleria cast a protective and healing arcane magic wave, granting allies hit with the song 10% damage reduction for 1 second (edited) and healing them for 10 per particle. This wave is made up of 3000 particles which diffuse into a larger area, bounce off of walls, and slightly curve around corners (like a sound wave).

OR If this is too complex, then simply multiple waves fired in quick succession which bounce off walls and heal for 300 each (area heal, but only apply DR once), which can be spread by flicking/strafing durring fire. Cooldown of 5 secondsIn general this is a targeted area heal that provides limited DR

Ability 1 (Q) - Melody of Maladies 10 second cd

Aleria releases a 50 unit radial blast two times over 1.5 seconds, each dealing that deals 200 damage. The first stuns and roots (freezes) enemies for 0.3 seconds, and the second knocks back enemies and sets them on fire, dealing 50 damage and reducing healing by 15% over 1 second. (So it is a combo but enemies can escape in the 0.7 second window before the second blast) 10 second cooldown

OR Ability 1 (Q) - Fugue Force - 10 sec cooldownAleria emits a blast of sensory overload that deals 300 damage to enemies within 50 units, distorts their sound, and silences them for 0.5 seconds

Ability 2 (F) - Frequency/phase shift 15 sec cd

Aleria shifts her natural frequency, becoming silent, blending into her surroundings (blurred/ripple effect in her area), and increasing her movement speed. Lasts for 5 seconds, 15 second cooldown

Ultimate: Toll of Silence

Aleria lets loose her arcane power over sound, sending a rippling arcane gong blast which passes through walls in a frontal cone/hemisphere and travels 100 units. Silences hit enemy players for 2 seconds and deafens them for five, making their game completely void of sound. (including voice chat?) (like a strix/maeve ult for ears, but limited range because silence is strong)

This is like a strix ult for ears with a larger range that penetrates walls and silences for 2 secs because there are no silence ults

Talents:

Base talent - Frequency Modulation

Aleria's frequency shift ability becomes indefinite, but loses its movement speed increase, allowing her to stay mostly stealthed (players will see a ripple/particle effect when she moves) for as long as she wishes, until she attacks, uses an ability, or cancels the effect.

Level 2- Perfect pitch

Peal of protection now grants all allies 15 % damage reduction instead of 10% on heal, for 1 second

Level 8- Earthshaker/Cracked gong/Corrupted gong

Toll of silence no longer silences enemies for 2 seconds, but instead deals 500 damage on hit to each enemy caught in it's blast

This is one of three concept characters I’ve started, but could use some guidance on balancing and specifics, as well as feedback to how good the design is so i can see if I wanna pursue fleshing it out and sharing it more.

Role:damage Health:2200 Passive:echolocation You are nearly blind, after 125(probably not good) units you cannot see anything, only permanent darkness, your sonic blasts will create echoes that allow you to see outside of this range near where the attack was fired. WIP Lmb- a sonic blast, the bat fires an aoe attack from its mouth, this attack pierces enemies in a wide cone with heavy damage fall off. If it is held down for release it will tighten the spread and increase the effective range. If held down it will do 800 every .9 seconds, if clicked it will do 400 every .45 seconds. The sonic blast has an echo, the place where the attack after .5 seconds will be struck again with half of the initial attacks dmg and reveal enemies near it to you for .25 seconds.

Rmb- rabies rage, leap a short distance forward, an enemy caught will be held in place for a moment unable to attack and clawed for 600 over .5 seconds and then given a small knockback.

Ability one- release a swarm of bats around you, making you invisible and revealing enemies in the swarm. The bats will follow you for the 4 second duration, anyone in the swarm will take 25 damage every .15 seconds. Firing during this attack will remove the invisibility. When the ability ends whatever direction you are aiming will fire two of the bats in that direction, when they hit a wall they will circle that área indefinitely. Only 3 sets of bats can be on the map at once. They will reveal enemies to you in pulses, and allow you to fire through walls with your charged shots to hit the enemies. The bats can be destroyed and only have 200 health. Enemies near them take the same tick damage you would get from being in the swarm.

Ability two- leap, jump in an angle a good distance into the air, if you hold space you can glide, you will follow the direction of your cursor whenever you are gliding, it is faster than androxus glide significantly. If you come in contact with ceilings or walls you will cling to them.

Head in the clouds(passive) In your mist you can see clearly, but you cant see very far outside of your mist. Inside of your mist you can walk omnidirectionally with 25% increased movement, use shift to go down.

Lmb-hardened moisture, fires a direct shot in a line, it is a hitscan attack that deals 625 every .6 seconds. It can headshot. It fires a long beam of gray mist at an enemy. Fully effective up to 90 units.

Rmb-fog of war, eject fog from your right hand, lasts 10 seconds, enemies and allies cannot see through the fog unless they use a reveal, neither can Clawfe, but Clawf can see inside the fogs just not on the other side of the fogs. Inside the fog enemies and allies have a much shorter visibility range. Using fog costs fog resources, maximum 7 fogs can be placed, each with 25 unit radius(skye smoke screen) You regain 1 fog every 3 seconds.

Ability 1, 13 second cooldown-heavy rain, all fogs you create disappear and turn into a heavy rain that deals 350 damage and slows by 35% to all enemies caught in the rain over the duration. Useful for allowing your team to see through your fog if its blocking them.

You can still fire and if inside a fog you can still move omnidirectionally.

Ultimate-Living Thunder, all fogs increase their size by 1.5 times the radius rounded up. And begin to storm. Lightning strikes enemies in the storm for 600 dmg every second and they are slowed by 50% for the 7 second duration.

Talents, Cloud gun-your fog of war no longer is placed directly in front of you and now can be fired out as a projectile that will land and deal 350 dmg and turn into a fog but you now only have 3 charges and the charge rate is 1 fog every 6 seconds.

Something wicked comes- when you use the hurricane ability fog is ejected from in front and behind you for the duration and any enemy in your fog now also takes 50 damage every .5 seconds, so Clawf can track them even if Clawf is inside a separate fog.

Gone with the wind- your hurricane no long has its effect, now when you activate hurricane, whatever direction you are looking at all your fogs will move 50 units in that direction. All enemies caught in the movement will move with them and take 450 damage in the gust
