Zergling Frenzy - Create your own hero!

[Statharas]

I've been thinking about this, and i believe it's better for the people to think of what the heroes should be. So here we are.

Legend
Red=Changed
Blue=Might change
Normal= Not sure if will change
Green = Will never change

Create your own Hero!

Now, before begining, you must keep in mind that you need your hero to have 4 main abilities.
The hero is going to have 3 talent trees, like in wow.

• Single Target/Shockwave/ Similar targeting ability (1 for each kind of tree)
• Aura (1 for each kind of tree)
• AOE (1 for each kind of tree)
• Ultimate (1 for each kind of tree)

The 3 first must have 7 levels of abilities.
The Ultimate must have 4 levels.

Heck, not only abilities are needed!

You need to specify your hero's main attribute (ranging from Strength, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence and Psi) and include a Hero Buff Tree!
Main Attribute will recieve +8 from level 1.
The Buff Tree will be like a Talent Tree that will allow players to select Buffs for their hero.

25 Points will be usable out of 35 total Upgrades, and 25 for all abilities.
The player will able to pick 8 abilities, of 2/3 trees.
Thus, the player will get 1 point per level for each tree, and 5 attributes to spend each level-up!

We have decided that the heroes will be based in only 4 trees per race.

Here are the Trees

[COLOR=Purple]Zerg[/COLOR] Small units will have
[COLOR=Lime]-MAIN- Mutation
Speed[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Lime]Massive[/COLOR]

Big units will have
[COLOR=Lime]-MAIN- Mutation
Melee
Ranged[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red]Terran[/COLOR] small units will have
[COLOR=Lime]-Main- Arms
Mutation
Psionic[/COLOR]

Big units will have
[COLOR=Lime]-MAIN- Arms
Massive
Explosives[/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Protoss[/COLOR] small units will have
[COLOR=Lime]-MAIN- Psionic
Dark
Light[/COLOR]

Big units will have
[COLOR=Lime]-Main- Psionic
Protection
Assault[/COLOR]

Try to include lore as well.

[Trillium]

you are describing a project or asking for ideas?

sorry, can't cath up, it's a bit late here =) *sleepy*

 

[Statharas]

Ideas.

 

[thisruoy]

Shouldnt this be in the requests section if your trying to get ideas of people?

 

[Verus]

I've searched the links but I can't find anything about the actual map concept...

Could you maybe give us a quick rundown so we understand what theme our ideas have to suit?

 

[Statharas]

Good notice. I'll put one up soon


Your heroes must be based out of existing units. Example, a Marine.

 

[Giantr]

Stat i think 3 levels of ultimate are better.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

I played your map Zergling frenzy. It's a nice footman wars like not like the boring survivals where you wait for some spawns to attack you on waves...

Reaper

Abilities:

1) Jetpack Boost (Line AOE)
Slide fast through enemy army causing damage while flying through them, each level dealing more damage (even killing units) and even longer path of travel per level
2) Power shot - deals a massive amount to 1 unit causing explosion effect on it(Singe target), again more damage each level
3) Speed Aura, increases by levels
4) Ultimate - Ion cannon from above, dealing AOE dmg and big damage , a laser from above

An Agility hero. I dont understand the buff, just throwing ideas.

HOW? It's not released yet. Besides, the one up on the bnet was put by a noob. With no skills.

 

[Trillium]

High Priest (based on High Templar model)

1) Spirits of Aiur - single-target - summons a spirit of fallen Zealot, who charges the target, dealing damage and disappears. If target dies while some spirits still remain, they'll pick another target randomly. Further ranks increase number of spirits sumoned.
2) Grace of Khala - aura - increases energy regeneration of nearby friendly units, based on number of those units. Further ranks increase maximum number of units who can contribute to the regene bonus.
3) Maelstrom - AoE - creates a gravity vortex (basically that of Mothership; also slowly drags faraway units to it) and blasts all units caught within with a psi-storm when the vortex ends. Further ranks increase damage and radius.
4) Scion of Twilight - ultimate - the High Priest temporarily transforms into indestructible and invulnerable Twilight Archon, who deals tremendous damage, ignores armor and his attacks also hit nearby enemies. After the spell ends, the High Priest transforms back into Protoss, with just 1 hp, 0 energy, 0 shields. Further ranks increase duration.


Mystic (based on Dark Templar model, with dual scythe)

1) Sands of Shakuras - shockwave - a wave of sand an shadows washes over enemies, moderately amaging them and leaving them blinded (aka stunned). Further ranks increase area of effect and stun duration (not damage)
2) Shadows of Exile - active aura (can be turned on/off; drains energy per second) - all nearby units (except the Mystic) are Cloaked. Further ranks increase range and reduce energy drain
3) Relic of Xel'Naga - AoE - creates an immobile ward that damages and knocks back nerby Zerg. Further ranks increase range and duration. (Uses one of those black-green xel'naga doodad models)
4) Ways of the Void - ultimate - launches a dark construct (using Stalker's model) in target direction. The construct moves for 5 seconds and then teleports to a random point of the map, as far as possible from player's base. Also teleports all nearby enemy units. The construct is invulnerable, but rather slow, so he can be dodged. Further ranks reduce cooldown and increase construct's speed.

Enjoy.

PS: both are "intelligence" heroes.



EDIT:

High Priest Talents:

Warp Focus - reduces energy cost of spells
Phase Disruption - increases damage
Wisdom of the Templar - increases intelligence
Legacy of Aiur - increases amount of mana
Bliss of Khala - spells have a chance to return mana. chance is based on amount of people affected by Grace of Khala


Mystic Talents:

Cold is the Void - Mystics attacks now slow enemies (some kind of chill effect would suit well)
Shadows of Shakuras - Shadows of Exile now Cloaks the mystic too, but drains twice that much mana
Legacy of Xel'Naga - spells cause the Mystic to regain some energy and health over 5 seconds
Eclipse - spells and attacks have a low chance to instantly kill their targets
Warp Ripple - when Mystic's health in combat drops below 25% he instantly slows nearby enemies and blinks in random direction (but away from enemies - he won't blink into an enemy mob). cannot happen more often than once per minute.

 

[Statharas]

Give them both 3 Buff Trees (like... Normal, Holy, Shadow).
Plus, good job Trillion! These are great Just do that, and yours is accepted!

 

[Trillium]

three trees each? OK. how many talents pre tree?

 

[Statharas]

Limit not based on abilities. Limit based on talent points. 15 per talent tree.

 

[Statharas]

Here comes the choo choo! Oh god! It's a Bumpy road!

Space Twisting - projectiles launched by enemies affected by Mystic's spells move 20/40/60% more slowly.
Teachings of Zeratul - attacks done by allies affeced by Shadows of Exile now slow enemies briefly. The effects still count as Mystic's spells for Space Twisting's purposes. Further ranks increase duration of slow.


EDIT: only now cared to have a look at your first post =/
feel free just to rename the talent trees as you want

 

[Statharas]

We plan to keep them in some kinds of trees. Not gonna make additional trees for every hero! All units of a kind will have similar trees. For example, both Reaper and Marine are going to have Mutation and Psionic. We aren't gonna add any more

 

[Trillium]

just rename them to what you need.

 

[Statharas]

Kay, we can do that. You keep slapping us with ideas! The map is doing really well!

 

[BlackArmsShadow]

-EDIT-

I rearranged the trees a little.


Ultralisk

Strength Hero
Damage Dealer

Mutation
Offensive Abilities

Frenzied Assault - Increases the Ultralisk's attack damage by 6/12/18 for 15 seconds at the cost of having its health slowly depleted while under the effects of Frenzy.
Impaler Tentacle - Impales a targeted Hero with a tendril that damages them for 50/100/150 and stuns them for 2 seconds.
Head Smash - Passive Ultimate - Attacks deal 50% increased damage against structures.


Destruction
AoE Abilities

Kaiser Blades - Cleaving attack that deals 15/30/45% of the Ultralisk's attack damage to adjacent units.
Baneling Strike - Rolls a Baneling at a targeted point up to a range of 60 (6 in editor range terms), exploding upon reaching the target or the first unit it touches dealing 25/50/75 damage in a small area.
Shockwave - Ultimate - Slams the ground with the Ultralisk's claws. Slows enemy units within a large area by 30% for 5 seconds.


Regeneration
Defensive Abilities

Chitinous Plating - Increases base armor by 2/4/6.
Frenzied Regeneration - Increases the Ultralisk's health regeneration by .5/1/1.5 for 10 seconds.
Anabolic Synthesis - Increases the Ultralisk's unburrowed movement speed by 10/20/30%. Allows the Ultralisk to move while burrowed at all levels.
Burrow - Ultimate -The Ultralisk burrows deep under the ground, enabling it to escape combat. Has a long cooldown.

 

[Statharas]

Some stuff are too imbalanced in your post. Try to make the 2nd sub Tree as well. Add Upgrades (buffs), and remember to give them 1 passive, 1 single target/shockwave, 1 Aoe and 1 ulti for each tree.

 

[BlackArmsShadow]

Hmm... okay. Well, I didn't have any other ideas for what his abilities should've been.

To clear things up, the last ability in each tree is an ultimate.

 

[Statharas]

Well. For example, the Burrow thing. It's too easy to abuse. Baneling roll isn't a good idea either. And the Generate Creep is impossible.

Plus, try to keep the abilities the way they should be.
1 Shockwave/one target
1 AOE
1 Aura/buff/etc
1 Ulti

 

[BlackArmsShadow]

Abuse? I meant like a 2 minute cooldown...

 

[Statharas]

They could just attack, and when things go bad, Burrow and you're safe.

 

[BlackArmsShadow]

That's the point. I'm just following the Zerg theme. Use a different ability to make him less cheap if you like. Perhaps give him a Charge move that stuns the target and knocks back nearby units?

 

[Statharas]

Smart idea. Just keep in mind that you are making a hero based on the Ultralisk.

 

[BlackArmsShadow]

Alright, if you decide to use my hero or not it's okay. Good luck on the map. Bump.

 

[Statharas]

Well, we still take ideas, so consider this post to be a Bump post.

 

[Statharas]

Sorry to necro-bump, but i dislike creating a new thread. The map is active again, after a short break, and we accept hero submissions once again!
