You make a big point about using arrow keys, which aren't as responsive as abilities. I'd prefer to make a combo system using additional abilities.

 

[mckill2009]

Well that's the uniqueness of the skill, it uses a different method of getting that combo and you can have hundreds of combinations instead of making too many abilities for your unit...

This is very interesting.

Though I agree with ruleofiron99, there should be more options to produce the combo (which is the theme of the contest).

So just like a platformer combo,also i agree with rulerofiron,the combo must be optional for the contestants.

Also dont start this yet!after the hero contest !

 

[rulerofiron99]

What I'm saying is, you can use e.g. four abilities with hotkeys Q W E R, and combo them the same way you would combo arrow keys.
QQQWWEQW = Fist punch to the groin.

The important part here is the abilities have no lag.

 

[mckill2009]

Oh this is only a sugestion and will not start until approved and other contests have finished...

This is a zephyr, not a hero contest, so 4 is not possible...now ofc you can make a combo without using those keys I mentioned but that would disregard the theme...
and you can make QWER abilities but just counted as one but that would take up space in the hero's UI...

The 'skill' I mentioned is some sort of a 'timer' for the combo to take effect...
