The ability itself is rather simple, but I can say I liked it.
I suggest using one variable with array for the points, because spamming so many point variables is not good. :)
Before you kill Druid of the talon, destroy the effect you saved on him, as "6" (speaking of the Avenger Missile).
  • (Number of units in Caster_Group) Greater than or equal to 1
You can also use
  • ((Caster_Group) is empty) Equal to False

Ofc he can ask ppls if they can give him +rep.
There's no crime of doing that? Everyone has their own will if they want to give him +rep or not.

Spell could be better:
1) Should be really channeling in order to prevent different bugs. I mean, it should be possibly stopped anytime by just moving the hero.
2) On collision of ravens with enemies there could be some effect, showing us that the damage has occures, now that looks like the raves disappear just in front of enemy :)

Also I'm not good in hashtables, but what will happen, if the hero is stunned?

Catch_ya, I'll read it then =P.

Aspard, the effect will still be done. That's why the "verision" exist. I'm sure he will fix that bug when he's back. He's currnetly doing something else.

EDIT: Aspard, since i saw you'r first post, you've ONLY complain on other peoples. Can you please stop with that. Someone MUST the you that you will not be respected if you keep just complain.

i think its called "constructiv critism" and should help the spell maker to improve the spell maybe making it approve-able....

Aspard, Well, you dont tell anyone that their spell is nice, just what it could be more likely or what's the bad with it. Thats is, in some reasons, really annoying. That's just what i have to say about what you post all the time. You mbt think it's good to do that ALL the time, but i don't.

Hem... I wanted to post something about criticism... Then I saw that people already told you that, but you are still promoting your opinion about how bad am I. That's your personal view of me, but I'll still do the way I do, okay?

When the author (which has responded clever) makes sufficient changes, I'll write: "Good job!" and give +rep (Even for listening to me) and "Vote for approval".

Constructive Criticism is telling good points and telling them how it is done well, and then telling them what things need improvement.

You should atleast tell them the good points of the work and what is lacking afterwards, rather then just tellin the bad aspects of it. That is a good way to make people stop doing things, Much like how enjoy stopped modding due to everyone saying the flaws in her work.

If that wasn't good at all, I'd say that a piece of you know what or copied idea or "That's not mui! Rejected!" etc ;)

So I didn't have any offence, I just asked for some improvements, with which I can give the spell a high rate and vote for approval.
