hey guys, I've been designing a few heroes for a new map, and wondered if you guys could critique them.

Here goes:

BOBBY JOE, the EVIL PANDA LORD:
- Weapon: Sword
- Story: elavated to the status of evil by wrecking bobby bob, bobby joe likes to send out other people to die first.

- Main attribute: STRONG!
- Stats: 35 str(+3), 10 agi(+2.5), 5 int (+.5).

- Delegate, spreads a percent of damage done to you over a medium area.
- Terrify, creates horrors around bobbeh, horrors stay underground then come up and do damage to an enemy unit (timed life)
- Assimilate, consumes a swath of allies, adding a percentage of their power to his own.
- Fine, Be That Way, causes all of bobbeh's stats to increase for thirty seconds. five seconds later, he explodes, scattering nearby people and dealing damage to each.

HENGRID, the MANIPULATOR:
- Weapon: Hands
- Story: Hengrid, though weak in all martial endevours, is one of the most deadly foes on this world. Master of the mind, the manipulator can cause armies to turn on themselves, fathers to kill their sons. Woe be the day when sweet poison swallows our kingdom, for that be the day when Hengrid has come.

- Main attribute: Hengrid's main attribute is intelligence.
- Stats: 15 str(+1), 15 agi(+1.5), 20 int (+3.5).

- Pleasantry, causes the target unit to become unattackable, but the unit also can't attack. Drains mana while activated.
- Frustration, causes a unit to lose focus, giving them a chance to miss. Every time they miss, their chance to miss is increased.
- Murderer's Dilemma, causes target unit to take the base health of the next unit they kill.
- Duality, swaps the target units friends and foes for a period.


BOBBY BOB, the PANDAREN AVENGER:
- Weapon: Sword
- Story: Bobby bob got his nose pwned off by bobby joe, the dark panda lord, now he wants vengeance. simple enough, really.

- Main attribute: Agility
- Stats: 15 str(+.75), 15 agi(+2), 20 int (+3.25).

- Swap, Causes you and a target friendly unit to swap places.
- Morphosis, Allows you to swap intelligence and agility at will.
- Banish, Hurls an enemy unit across the map, sending him a distance corresponding to your intelligence away, and dealing damage equal to your agility.
- Soaring Mind, Drains mana per second and all damage is negated but takes away mana per hitpoint host. Also grants you the ability to fly, but if you run out of mana or deactivate the ability, you fall, bounce, and take your agility in damage and are stunned for a few seconds.

VISIBLE, the DARK VISE:
- Weapon: Hammer(thrown)
- Story: A would-be shaman, Visible failed his initiation test and took his knowledge of the shamanistic arts and used them to become one of the most accomplished assassins in the land. the evil panda warlord soon took Visible under his stride, but Visible was far too unorthodox for the dark lord's liking, hurling hammers instead of using daggers, and was sent to be culled. Visible was no weakling however, and escaped, joining up with Bobby Bob to kill his oppressor once and for all.

- Main attribute: Visible's main attribute is strength, though he is fairly agile as well.
- Stats: 20 str(+1.8), 12 agi(+3.05), 18 int (+1.15).

- Molten Shadow, poisons an enemy unit with your spear, dealing str+agi damage and causing them to lose attack damage when they aren't attacking.
- Static Shield, makes a unit invulnerable, but stops it from attacking.
- Caustic Empowerment, lowers a units maximum health every second, but raises it according to how much damage they deal.
- Inner Plague (pas), the Dark Vise is affected by an inner plague, and units that attack him have a percent chance to get the plague, which slows them by a random percent, the plague can also be spread to nearby units, causing them to be slowed, but by a smaller amount then the person who passed it on to them.

-----------

okay, obviously not a very serious map, but I've spent a lot of time on these heroes and want to make them as fun and as balanced to play with as possible.

thanks,

sounds funny XD

how did you make Duality work?

Fine, Be That Way makes JOE explode, this ability is hurting/killing himself?
 
sadly, the question is how will I make duality work. I've done pretty much every hero but the manipulator, so yeh, wish me luck. xD

and yes, fbtw kills bobby joe.
 
well it depends of how your map works.
if there are no nutural hostile units you can turn the target to one.
or you can make one player at war with everyone and use it for that.

else you can always just let it be some mind control and make it's owner to the same of the manipulator.
 
They look like pretty balanced heros, and if you get duality to work then you are leet :D
 
which one do ya wanna use? all of them?
well, I guess you can use bobby bob and bobby joe, but I want to work on hengrid and visible mahself.
