STFU Arena -=Ideas Needed!=-

PLEASE READ TROUGH THE LAST POST MADE BY ME BEFORE POSTING.

A part from my last post:
People, I've begun work again, with the trigger which got trown away.
For this project to be a success, I need good spells, good skins, good items and nice gameplay funny thingys. I'm planning on doing a semi-serious humor map, but since noone gives me ideas, I might just make a "regular" map with 80% new features.

Please give me more ideas, of all kinds. If you need a screenshot of the map, please look at the STFU Arena forums (link is in my sig). There is a screenshot posted.

Yes, it's STILL time for ideas!

Let me just begin by saying this,
if we use your idea, whatever it is, you will get your credits in the map in some way or form (you can request this too if you wish).

Remember something, THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER HERO ARENA.

The maps forums are currently down so I don't have anything more to show you of the features, and my already done triggers were forced to be trashed after the patch, so I need to rebuild it.
It wasn't much anyway but it's almost a days worth of work.

Now, we need this currently:
- Hero spells
This includes abilities and anything regarding heros. There are 4 races, the regular ones. 5 to 6 heros per race. Please type a detailed list, for example a spell, to how it looks, what it does, tool tip and levels of the spell.
- Item ideas
This includes anything regarding items. We have no clue on how we should handle items at this time. There will be NO TOMES! If you have something funny we can do with items, please say so. Items will be rewards and bough.
- Quest ideas
We have two quest areas. They are not connected. Look at the areas, they are posted by DEMANUFACTURE further down, and think up two seperate ideas for what type and what you should do on the quests.
- Other ideas and features of the map!
If you feel you want to see something (Like the stock system that I will let you know more about later), add it under this. Also any other sick, honest and twisted ideas goes here. Also constructive critisism.

Thank you and Regards

Transfer (channeling)
Periodically steals X amount of life from all enemy units in the target area and gives that life to the caster.

Retaliation (passive)
Gives a small chance to perform a counterattack whenever struck by a melee attack.

Crippling Blow (ultimate?)
Melee attack that deals X amount of damage, and reduces armor, attack and speed on the target.

By the way, I have a question: Will this hero arena have tomes? If yes, will they be cheap and/or easy to come by?

names of places, people, things, names for anything quest ideas, story stuff, im your man :D ill start wenever

It's Night Elf Sentinels. Also, having that many heroes with new spells... You'll probably never get finished. I know, because they all need careful balancing and such, plus it takes lots of time just creating them and getting them to fit for the character... I hate it. I have 10 heroes, and it feels impossible. 4 spells each and all the levels, tooltips, art, etc, etc...

Perhaps a quest: (Edited out since you'll just flame me for it... :( )

Ward-only heros (healing, stunning, de-pantsing, whatever)

Bouncing-spell only heros (a al chain lightning, healing wave, dispelling wave)

Maybe a builder hero, but something crazy, like he can only build in shallow water, or somesuch. You should be able to make it such that, as his level increases, the number of buildings he can make increases and the hero ability button goes away.

A summoner hero that eats his summons to get different buffs.

UNDEAD MAGE (any):

ULTIMATE: Dark Fearmancer

When the hero start the spell, it will create 10 units. Each letter of Fearmancer is placed on top of each of the units, and only invisibility detectors can see them afterwards. When the units die, it will summon Dark Spirit of the Underworld on the last unit that dies out of the 10. By any chance the units died in the order of F E A R M A N C E R, it will summon "Dark Fearmancer", on the death place of letter "F". Mana: 300 Cooldown: 240

Lettered units: 600 HP, no attack, unarmed

Dark Spirit of the Underworld: 1750 HP, Spell Immune, No timer, 45-62 damage

ORC ELEMENTAL HERO (any):

ULTIMATE: Catastrophe

The hero creates an uncontrollable, mad flying beast that is summoned at the center of the large targetted area. After 10 seconds, it will begin its destruction. Air units within the range will be shocked with an aerial nova attack that does 200 damage, which is casted in an interval of 10 seconds. Ground units in the range is shocked with a 5 damage attack with no cooldown. Catastrophe lasts 60 seconds, and the hero must be channeling it. If by any chance the hero cancels Catastrophe, the god is released to an anger state where it becomes a neutral hostile flying unit. It has 2000 HP, 45-61 splash chaos damage, and attacks all the teams with no ally.

Spell: Aerial nova every 10 seconds = 200 damage
Ground damage every 0 cooldown = 5 damage per attack

RELEASE: 2000 HP, 45-61 splash chaos damage with no team

well there are 2 side quests so here is the first 1

and here is the second

Seeing as I cant think up anything better right now (will edit later if I think of something). Anyway here goes:
Sheepomancer (possible secret hero, boss or human hero)

Sheep Coil
Conjures up a negative energy sheep, then propells it at the enemy, damaging any non sheep units. (yes its death coil with a few changes, not the most original thing, but sure looks funny in game).

Silence of the Lambs
A chanelling spell, it prevents units in an AoE from casting spells. Units must either stop the channeling or move out of the way in order to cast again. AoE goes up with levels.

Sheep Swarm : (based of locus swarm, this looks extremely funny in game, if the locust model is changed to a flying sheep)
Releases many midget sheep, who search out enemies and abosrd their life force, then returning it to thier master. Duration goes up each level.

Sheep of Trinity (Ultimate)
Splits the hero into 3 sheep (cold, fire and dark) with (frost nova, firebolt and death coil).

I appriciate all the responses. But please include tool-tip, visual description and maybe "buff art" or what we should use to make it (It can be anything! Even units running around something... Or something like that, stupid)...

Originality is always good... Remeber that heros does not have to have 4 skills, they can even have only 2 with a lot of levels... Now, the number of levels on a hero doesn't matter as long as it does not exceed 50. This will be regulated by triggers to set experience gain from other heros so that they get more to compensate...

Dead-Inside

I think an agility-based pirate hero using the admiral proudmoore model would be awesome.

I havent really thought of skills for him, but im sure things like "drunken brawling" would fit well.
