"Sun" themed ideas..

Seeing how previous threads like these were filled with loads of ideas, I decided to ask you for some ideas too =)

Okay, I'm completely brain-dead with this hero. He's Sol'Ta the Child of the Sun(not a B&B wanna be :p) I couldn't think of a name, so I just used the name erwt gave the skin :)

He's supposed to be "sun" themed. Anything related with fire is fine for me, complex or not complex. All ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the time.

Sun Focus - An active spell that burns nearby enemy units in a range of 600 for 10 Hitpoints per second. Lasts 30 seconds. This spell can only be activated during the day, not during the night.

Hey you gave me a nice idea with that can only be cast on day thing.
Thanks!

+Rep!

Spells which can only be used half of the time are incredibly annoying. Suddenly your hero loses a major ability for half of the game time. Different effects during day and night can work, but no effect during either of the two is usually a bad idea (may be certain exceptions).

Sun and Moon are opposites; perhaps combine them? Moon at night, Sun at day.

I like the idea of the day thing, dota is the most balanced map that i know and there´s a hero that is only good at night, balanar. maybe you can add a skill that turns night into day for some time or a passive skill that makes the day to last longer.

I see your point there blu.. I can't really combine it with moon, the skin has sun written all over it. =)

I could weaken the damage and yada yada at night, and make them stronger at day.

Still looking for some ideas though, I'm brain-dead when it comes to these kinds of themes.

I laughed and cried all at once.

Ever try AotZ? xD
There's a hero that does that almost exactly.

An interesting approach though.
Make him only regenerate mana during the day.
That way he "charges" like a battery during the day and then can release it sparingly over the night.
He'd need high mana reserves and a fast regen at day, but it would be a cool dynamic.
It's almost cool enough for me to want to use it in a map. xD

Lawl, Dins is so cool.


I swear I posted right after Griff's post. I didn't even see that coming!

Speaking of dota=uber balance.. Did you check how many updates didn't have a "Balanced heroes." "Rebalanced some items" yada yada..

I made an entire AOS based on this theme and it worked well.

Just add extra mechanics to break the restriction, such as temporary day or night items.

We even had a hero each team that could flip the time of day.

I would like to play that.

Oh, and since you have an AOS based on that theme, you would probably have alot of ideas you could donate to me wouldn't you say?

Sure. It was my first AOS, didn't get much exposure and I didn't take it much further since I was working on <insert mod you have no idea about>. Full of leaks and such.

Wow a very helpful WH. So, you're no longer in perma drunk mode?



please don't kill me

please stop that, that's how the most annoying users that ended up banned began.

Reminds me of the bad guys in Pingu when yuo trap them in single cell area. They wimiper that at you.
