Best items on this hero (In my opinion):

Heart of Tarrasque
And
Bloodstone.

Why?
Bloodstone mana regen = infinite tower healing.

Heart of Tarrasque = Tower heal when there's a teamfight.

CHANGELOG:

V1: Wrote it all.
V2: Buffed Overclock, Removed Hammer Bash, added Presence of the Engineer, nerfed Repair
V3: Buffed (and nerfed) Repair.



Comment what you think!

Before you read this, know I am just giving my opinion or suggestions. No offense was meant in any way since the idea of a tower centered hero sounds really good

1.) I think you meant "increases tower damage" with the ult
2.) With that huge healing number people would simply scout you out while pushing and murder you if you attempted to stop them by healing the tower. I think you could lower the amount and cooldown to make him more like Treant, especially since it doesn't have global range neither can it protect heroes
3.) I think the ult is underwhelming with that hell low duration. I think you limited it too much.
4.) I believe the passive could honestly be replaced by something better, since supports usually do not want to be in the center of a fight and smack people, especially one so crucial for high ground defense.

1) It actually decreases the damage the tower does.

2)I could increase the ranranege to maybe 600

3) I will buff his ult alot.

4) I'll replace it with another tower buffing spell.

There we go. What do you think? He's now a real Lycan hater. He heals towers from 600 dotameters away, he increases the damage of the towers alot and he makes towers attack at max atk speed.

The most unbalanced hero ever. :D

I think he's countered by big amounts of creeps and tons of pushy heroes. First Ban in CM!

I don't think he is unbalanced at all mate. He looks like a very powerfull lane support who can easily keep his carry safe by making tower dives extremely dangerous. I agree he kinda falls of lategame, but he could turtle really good. Given he is useless when not around towers I say he is perfectly balanced ;)

I thought his best lane was the offlane. Usually the offlane tower is destroyed first (sometimes the mid tower). If he was in the offlane he could prevent that, as long as the enemy carry isn't Dragon Knight, and he's usually played as mid.

I don't know, I think his aura is kind of derp, especially since it adds no use until late game and has to be leveled at specific points. A far more interesting ability would be one that makes him actually useful in teamfights.

I see this hero as more of a rat than an anti-rat. You just cant push against a +100 damage max attack speed tower.

I would instead suggest making overclock his w (and make it something like +40/60/80/100 attack speed on a tower, +75 more with aghs). Then I would add an ult that creates a tower at a target point after channeling for 3 seconds, which has 1000/1500/2000 health, 5/15/25 armor, and 100/200/300 damage. This tower lasts forever but loses 10 hp per second, so the engineer has to repair it or it will eventually die. Additionally, there can only be 1 tower up at a time.

That makes him more useful in teamfights, lets him use his abilities outside of defending, and keeps his basic idea the same.
