Paldea the Deranged Prophet

Hero Introduction

I'll just post this hero here to get some comment, although she did not win the FoC, I love her a lot and it got 30/30 originality, it counts for something :p

Paldea is a hero(ine) that is created with an idea of a hero that breaks the 4th wall (like a certain someone from the marvel universe). This hero is designed to be a versatile hero that can be built into 3 major directions based on his three basic skills, Load & Save Point to be played as split-pusher, Link Hack to be played as ganker/disabler and Disconnection to be played as elusive semi-carry. To further increase the point, I made this hero levels unorthodoxly (6 levels in 3 basic skills, 5 levels in Random Access Memory and 2 in Specific Upgrade).

The Random Access Memory works as a replacement to the stats points, increasing overall effectivity of the skills (like synergy), but requires a lot of levels to be useful. Specific Upgrade also confirms the direction where the hero is built in each game. Because of these, this hero needs a lot of level, and is meant to be played as an off-laner, with sustainability from Load & Save Point as well as elusiveness from Disconnection. This hero also has the fastest reincarnation in the game from level 5, as soon as he learn Random Access Memory, allowing him to use Load even after his death, making him a very hard to kill hero.

This hero can be very durable, as well as being able to become a very strong (semi)carry because of the 2 possible additional inventory slots if she choose to upgrade Random Access Memory twice in Specific Upgrade. All in all, this hero is meant to be versatile and interesting, playing around with player controls and level distributions, thus requiring a huge level of game foresight to be able to be played to the fullest. However, this hero will be very fun to use because of her responses and gameplay, as well as rewarding if played properly.

Lore

It was a dark night, stars shone dimly behind a veil of cloud and a sigh was heard high in the hollow peaks of the Zealot's Range. Standing there was a lady clothed in maroon robe, visibly distressed while mulling over a matter of imminent –and utmost- danger. She quivered, unable to contain the knowledge of a near and upcoming end of everything she knew. Once more she sighed, and again her soul roamed the cosmos, only to be perturbed by the same revelation that she had seen for days, that an Oracle would come and with her the end of a universe in an infinite pieces of shattered mirrors.

Weeks on end she spent meditating in the dark of nights, each day expecting to be proven wrong in her cosmic roams, but not a time had she been proven wrong, not until that one night. It was just a night like any others, Paldea sitting in silence of the highest clarity none could have, but this night was different, this night Paldea received more than the end of her universe. She received an understanding that her universe did not even exist, that her reality -all decisions she had made- was just a fabricated simulation controlled by inhabitants of another universe, the Suzerains as she called them.

This newfound wisdom relieved Paldea of her pain, but none could say for sure if it was at the cost of her sanity. Thus, with every passing day she spread her prophecy and revelation, and was therefore known as the Deranged Prophet. However, when the time came and her prophecy was fulfilled the other prophets regret their obtuse ignorance. Having received the highest revelation, Paldea managed to travel past the boundary of her universe and survived the shattering mirrors. Now a figure venturing the battlefield, wearing her tattered maroon robe as cape and a mask hiding her sanity as well as her emotions, she continued to dispense her twisted wisdom for anyone willing to listen -and for those who are not, her mystical blade will grant them their bitter and absolute proof.

Skills

[Q] Save Point: With Paldea's ability to see the truth, she creates a point in her reality where she embeds a fragment of her soul save from any possible harm. This skill creates a Save Point that later can be loaded with sub-ability Load that is learned automatically with this skill. The points are visible to enemies.

- 1 maximum point, lasts 20 seconds each
- 2 maximum points, lasts 40 seconds each
- 3 maximum points, lasts 60 seconds each
- 4 maximum points, lasts 80 seconds each
- 5 maximum points, lasts 100 seconds each
- 6 maximum points, lasts 120 seconds each

Type: No Target
Affects: None

MP cost: 30
Cast time: 1 second
Cool down: 15 seconds

I shall remember this point of my life.

[D] Load: The Deranged Prophet moves her soul into a fragment of her past, regaining HP, MP and location as the condition she was when she created the targeted Save Point. This skill can be used even in death after Random Access Memory has been learned. EXP, gold, item and cool down are not affected.

Type: Target save point
Affects: Self

MP cost: 250
Cool down: 110 seconds
Cast time: 1 second

[W] Link Hack: Paldea slashes and hacks the link of a targeted enemy unit from respective Suzerain, losing control and becoming mindless puppet for a short while. This skill disables and makes a unit uncontrollable by their respective players. This skill can be casted on both heroes and creeps, but doesn't disable if casted on creeps and costs only half the original MP cost.

- 1.2 seconds duration, 120 damage
- 1.6 seconds duration, 180 damage
- 2.0 seconds duration, 240 damage

Is this good enough a proof for you?

[E] Disconnection: The reason she managed to escape her universe, Paldea cut the connections of herself and her Suzerains, allowing her to move without any kind of restrain. This skill disconnects player control to the Deranged Prophet for a maximum of 7 seconds. Paldea will automatically move and attack enemies in targeted area until the duration is finished or all enemies confirmed are dead. It is impossible to cancel this skill mid-way except by Paldea's death. If no enemy is in the area, Paldea will stop in the targeted point until duration runs out.

Sorry Suzerains, but I am taking this into my own hands.

[] Random Access Memory: After many dangers, Paldea realized that she could maximize her potentials by increasing her memory access. This skill grants bonus stats, upgrades Load cool down and MP cost, Link Hack disable duration and cast range, as well as Disconnection duration, attack speed and evasion bonus. This skill also enables Load to be used within 5 seconds after death, invalidating her death.

- 4 to all stats, can be taken at level 5
- 8 to all stats, can be taken at level 10
- 12 to all stats, can be taken at level 15

- 20 to all stats, can be taken at level 25

I do need some RAM increase right now

[] Specific Upgrade: Paldea is capable to roam the cosmic reality to speak with her Suzerain, allowing her to upgrade a specific area of her power. This skill can be taken at level 6 and 21, and choosing a skill after learning this skill can give a specific upgrade to one of her skills. At the first upgrade, a tier one upgrade can be chosen, while at the second upgrade, either a tier one upgrade of another skill can be chosen or a tier two upgrade for her upgraded skill.

Tier One:
-Load: Load is now possible to be used without save point if she died, resurrecting herself in the location of her death with 75% HP and MP
-Link Hack: Will now affect units within 275 points radius of targeted unit
-Disconnection: Allows the player to reconnect by pressing the skill again
-Random Access Memory: Grants an additional inventory slot

Tier Two:
-Load: Load is now possible to be used without save point if she died, resurrecting herself within 1200 radius from the location of her death with full HP and MP. Also allows loading in 1200 radius from all save points.
-Link Hack: Will now affect units within 350 points radius of targeted unit, also pierces magic immunity
-Disconnection: Allows the player to reconnect by pressing the skill again, also prevents being disabled while in duration.
-Random Access Memory: Grants two additional inventory slots

Type: Passive

Reactions

I think reactions is not needed bra, beside, its called unit responses.

Hi Neurotoxin.

This is a creative piece of work, no need to criticize on such things. Besides, all you've done is bashing down on other's ideas, so please respect them and their work.

Hall kaften ! I'm just putting my opinion, what the **** ?

I think lores is not needed bra, doesn't even contribute to gameplay. /sarcasm

If someone likes Nazis and shouts to the world "NAZIS RULE", there's bound to be a negative reaction. You can't expect people to hear a controversial (or meaningless and unconstructive, in your case) opinion and not react in a negative way.

Thanks, Pory, wasn't sure how to react to that.

Thats its just great.
