Hero Idea Submissions

Right now...I'm having quite hard time thinking of heroes...so I need people to post their ideas. But please do not make the hero idea(s) look crappy, it would ruin your post (my opinion). Now, if you want your hero to be used and you go in the credits, I suggest you use this format so I can figure it out quickly enough to give your results if I want to use him/her or not. Now, for the hero name, you will probably be confused. I need only one name, that's it. I don't need more than 1.

FORMAT:

Quote:
Hero Name: (Place the hero's name here in bold letters.)
Hero Class: (Place the hero's class here)
Model: (Place the Model here for your hero, can be: Any Troll, Ogre, Human, ect.)
Attributes: (Place Main Attribute here)
Spells: Spell 1, Spell 2, Spell 3, & Spell 4. (Spell 5 is Optional)

Information of spells

Now, for the abilities. As in the format, you're probably saying: What the...??? You don't have to do in the order shown above. The minimum spells needed are 4 and the maximum is 5. If it's a JASS ability, post the trigger(s) needed if you can.

Thanks
-Thanatos_820 of Clan Rthl

Heroes Inserted:
-Arcanus Valezor the Dragoon Spellweaver (Thanatos_820)
-Vandalar Tenrix the Dragoon Nightmare (Thanatos_820)
-Azerath Nalistrider the Hellfire Berserker (Thanatos_820)
-Ilite Axor the Troll Inflamer (Archmage Owenalacaster)
-Redclaw the Wolf Warrior (darkwulfv)
Just need a couple more, keep up with the ideas!

EDIT:
Shortened the form by 60% since everybody is complaining.

Okay, if you're all not posting because you're confused or you don't get the point of this thread, I show you an example:

Hero Name: Arcanus Valezor
Hero Class: Spellweaver Dragoon
Model: Spellbreaker
Voice: Blood Mage
Attributes: Intelligence
Strength: 19
Agility: 21
Intelligence: 27
Spells: Mana Surge, Mana Combustion, Feedback, Energy Siphon, and Mana Blast.

Mana Surge: Cost 90/100/110 Mana. Cooldown is 9/10/11 seconds.
Arcanus has an IQ over 200 and can create surges of mana from his palms. When an enemy is struck with this ability, Arcanus damages the target by 100/200/300 and stuns it for 4/5/6 seconds. (Storm Bolt)

Mana Combustion: Cost 70/90/110 Mana. Cooldown is 11/13/15 seconds.
Arcanus can focus his powers on a enemy who relies on magic. The target suffers severe brain damage, thus losing 125/250/375 of his/her mana and dealing the amount of mana combusted. (Mana Burn)

Feedback: Passive
Trained as a Spellbreaker and into a Spellweaver, Arcanus can destroy excessive amounts of mana to take the upper hand in battle. Arcanus destroys 6/12/18 mana with each attack and deals bonus damage equal to the mana destroyed. (Feedback)

Energy Siphon: Cost 20/30/40 Mana. Cooldown is 20/21/22 seconds.
Arcanus can control several kinds of magic and this spell is one of them. Using this spell, he can quickly drain life and mana from a target for his own. Arcanus drains 30/60/90 hit points and 25/50/75 mana in 1 second.

Mana Blast: Cost 240 Mana. Cooldown is 180 seconds.
As with one of the spells that made Arcanus become a legend was Mana Blast. Originally, Spellweavers can't use this ability since it backfires. Unlike Arcanus, he can use this spell correctly. Arcanus creates a large sphere made of pure mana into this palm and slams it to the ground under him, causing severe amounts of damage. Deals 900 damage in a 800 radius. (War Stomp)

Okay, I gave you an example, hopefully none of you guys still don't get it.

Geez, and I thought people over here don't cuss and degrade others so much in a very rude manner . Now I truly see the way how others behave in this forum by the way they speak. And Alevice, I didn't know you were such a spammer until now.

Haha, welcome to these forums and the Internet.

So what you are asking, is people to give you hero ideas? And they'd have to fill that huge list thingy? Is this in the right place?

1. I've been on the internet for a long time.

2. Well, I'm asking for a bit of help (hopefully it's in the right forum area since I am developing a map) since I ran out of ideas for heroes and their abilities. But, you don't have to post several hero ideas at once (though it's recommended) for me. Later on, I'd like to use these ideas submitted to make an arena-colloseum map. I have the plans set out but I don't want to start now. I will add people to the credits if I accept their idea. If I do, I'll place that hero in a certain section (Thanatos_820's heroes, MercyfulJester's heroes, nooK's heroes, ect.) of the hero selection area and I'll make sure that I don't get mixed up with everbody's ideas and mine.

Well, I looked at your request. I feel that it's not your campaign - If you need all these thing for a hero, who'd like to give a fully-designed hero to another guy? Are you doing the project then? We're not being selfish. It's just we think the time and thought spent on this is not worth it, and you didn't even give us what we should think about.

Two better ways are here to advise you on:
1. Look at other AoS's and Arenas and get the point there.
2. Then think about what is the main idea you need 'bout the hero. You might leave a few spells or features to us to have them designed, but not some whole heroes.

Honestly, your request gives us the idea that you need feeding like a baby.

1. I do but I fell guilty about stealing one's idea.
2. Hmm...you do bring out a point. The thing is, usualy, the person already has the abilities set for that hero after posting if I don't give requests like: I need an Agility hero. It just makes it easier for the person so then they don't have to waste so much time thinking of that type of hero.
3. God! All I asked was for a little help! I don't need like 50 or something, I just need a couple (5-9)! Come on!, why is everyone picking on me today!

Ok, calm down everyone, there's nothing wrong with asking for hero ideas, for god's sake. It's freelance ideas, basically. If you have nothing to add on the subject, find another topic.

This hero is like a dota hero, weherby playing him is just basically clicking on your target and using all your abilities really fast. i see no synergy and the theme is one thats allready been created for you in warcraft.

Sorry, i dont dig this hero at all.

Well, if it's getting so hard for you guys, just post in the hero and 4 abilities. I'll post in the 5th and see if you like it.

Archmage Owenalacaster
Hero Name: Ilite Axor
Hero Class: Troll Inflamer
Model: Any Troll
Voice: Any Troll
Attributes: Intelligence
Strength: 15
Agility: 14
Intelligence: 9
Spells: Absurdity, Illiteracy, Flaming Tongue, Aggravate and Nihilism.

Active: Absurdity
The Troll speaks nonsense in such an overwhelming fashion that nearby enemy units are forced to flee, so as to clear their minds.

Passive: Illiteracy
The Troll's inability to understand the magical words spoken by others negates their meaning, rendering a percentile chance to cancel enemy spells.

Autocast: Flaming Tongue
When active, Flaming Tongue adds fire damage to the Troll's standard Speech attack.

Channeled: Aggravate
While channeling its profound capacity for inflaming others, the Troll sends psychic taunts to every enemy in range and draws them into combat with the Troll while engulfing them in flames.

Channeled: Nihilism
The Troll takes notice of a nearby dead enemy unit and dissertates upon the meaninglessness of life, afflicting enemy units in the area of the Troll with Hopelessness, which suffer reduced attack speed, movement speed, damage, health and mana regeneration. (The Troll must be right beside the enemy corpse to target it.)

EDIT: Added Nihilism.

Perfect! But one thing, it doesn't have to be in a order, in the example on the first post, I was showing others how to get up the ability if they were going to use a certain kind. So if they were going to use an active ability, they will have to use this format:

Quote:
Active Ability: Cost ___ / ___ / ___ Mana. Cooldown is ___ / ___ / ___seconds.

Information of Active ability.

Sorry , I forgot to explain . You can still have those abilities, but you can change a few to active, passive or whatever. So, for Ilite Axor, how about this 5th ability:

Quote:
Incineration: Cost 135/145/155 Mana. Cooldown is 11/10/9 seconds.
Ilite Axor lights a torch and spreads oil on a target point. The area bursts in flame, causing damage to those in the area of effect. Causes 35/45/55 damage per second in an area of 300. The bursts of flame lasts 3 seconds. After the main flames clear, units still in the area take light/moderate/heavy damage.

For the Intelligence, I'd change it to 19 or he'd need a large gain of intelligence per level (+4.25 per level). I'll add him but I'll need some JASS codes for some of the abilities. The Flame Tongue ability I can do, but I think the other 3 need triggers.

I find mastersreg's idea as it is quite fine. It should be up to you to fill in the details (specific stats and such, which should be tweaked for balance on your end); in the end, it is your map, no matter wether you credit people for their ideas or not.

I really don't mind giving people ideas (hell I don't give a fuck I am end up on the credit listing or not anyway, not like I play a lot of maps ;P), but looking at your first post, I am under the impression that we are obligated to fill up such a format, which I am not interested at all to do, as one of the most important aspects on WC3 map design is being done by someone else than the author him/herself.

I apologize if my rather foul language hurted some feelings, I tend to randomly curse a lot, nothing personal.

And whomeever is not aware of my rather spamwhoring habits should be shot.
