AoS "Mascot" Round Up

Okay, you guys. Here's the plan that I had in mind. In the map that I am making, I plan to have cameo appearances of heroes from AoS genre maps, like DotA. The point of all this concerns a hero who's ultimate calls upon an Aeon of Strife. Sound familiar? Please think yes. That's good, because I need your guys' help.

I need to know of the first hero you think of when you think of a particular AoS or the hero remember most. You know, sort of like the map's unofficial mascot. Of course, not every AoS will be represented, because that's impossible with the amount of them out there and the limited amount of space that any one map can hold (4 MB), but this is kind of my tribute to AoSes and since the concept worked so damn well with the hero that I'm working on, I decided to try and do it.

The whole point of it is, is that within another dimension, numerous heroes called Aeons of Strife fight for eternity on a fixed battleground. Their destiny is to fight and whatever the outcome- or whichever side wins, the battle will just restart. They are trapped within a cycle of life that typically demands of them to keep fighting. This particularly special guy (the hero) is able to call their soul into the living world and it is one of the only ways for Aeons of Strife to repent for their sins when they were alive; before they entered the hell that tortures them through fighting one another endlessly.

It will kind of work like how Espers worked in Final Fantasy XII. To elaborate more, this Hero will spawn the AoS and it will be completely uncontrollable, but it has its own attributes, health, mana, damage, etc. The AoS will also have simliar abilities that it had in its presented map, but several times stronger. Of course, the AoS can only wreck havoc for about a minute and a half (I might make a specific passive to prolong the time), then it'll end by the AoS using its Ultimate. Hopefully, it's an ultimate that isn't passive.

Any AoS works, actually. DotA, Enmity Campaign, Advent of the Zenith, Eve of Twilight, and the list goes on. I think popular vote will decide who I can pick out of who's available and from where they came from. If you can suggest an AoS hero that isn't well known, be my guest. I'm always open to anonymous or uncommon standings.

It may all sound like bogus, but hey- I'm trying to do something a little different, here. Even if just, a little.

AotZ = Scamp
DoE = Genobee
DotA = A random DotA item. Maybe that 100% critical one?
ToB = Pirate. Definitely. Boat would pwn everyone else.

EotA: Fenrir. (Wolf hero)
DotA: Pudge, Zeus, or Clinkz. Or the item that gives 100% crit, 95% bash, 2500 hp, 1500 mana, 30 armor, +75 to all stats, 98% cleave in a 550 radius, and ends world hunger. I think that's better than any hero.
ToB: Pirate. Arrr! Or that firey Beetle chick.
AotZ: Scamp

Um... I never said anything about items. Thanks the comedy/satire/whatever it was, though.

Well, I have a few.

From the original AoS: Zeriercahl - the zergling. I played him a ton. (That's right, the very first AoS!)
From DotA: Zeus, Stealth Assassin, Clinkz, and Pudge are the most memorable to me. The old SA and Butcher were fun, too. (The locust summons and the Death Ward )
From Rival Nations: Well, they're all the same melee heroes, but... I'd say probably Archmage.

Please make Scamp god.

I don't know to make Scamp work, when he's more of a manipulation hero. I need to brief over his abilities, before I can even consider him in or out.

ToB: Jean
AoM: Storm
DotA: Lina
AotZ: Karehn (The Elemental Sorceress that wasn't added yet)
DoE: ... the creep sorceress?
LoL 1 & 2: The Sorc
Megalith: The draconic sorceress
Rest of the AoSes: The sorceress hero

There we go.

The orginal mageslayer from RoC dota, when "blink" (then called rift) was still pimp enough to be an ultimate. Fuck he was cool. and N'aix the ghoul was awesome as hell.

But this is a terrible plan, and you are too poorly informed to make this happen. Fucking hell Eve of Twilight? Its Eve of the Apocalypse... I dont think you know your stuff well enough to embark on such a project.

I don't think I'm going to use direct references to every map. The closer I get to exact names, it sounds more and more like plagerism. I wouldn't be able to squeeze a hero from every single AoS into one map without going through the limit; that's impossible. This whole concept doesn't encompass the whole idea of making the map in the first place; that'd be pretty boring.

You're probably right, erwt; I most likely don't know enough to start such an idea. I kind of doubted myself when I started the idea at first, too. But, how I am going to get anything done in any map I make if I don't try anything? I don't think I'm the kind of person who organizes an idea and sticks to it; I have a bad habit of just using it as a start-off point and wander away from the primary idea. So... This idea might change, too.
