Lore

To see is a duty, to interfere a crime. This is the first principle of the Observers, an order Eb used to belong to. He, unlike his brethren, wasn't content to simply watch from afar and preferred instead, a more closer inspection. This is the reason for his exile. Observing a universe through a portal in silence seemed bland, cold and tasteless to him. It paled in comparison to being surrounded by it, to be immersed in it, to truly experience, with all senses, its glory and excellence. Filled with despair, Eb stumbled upon a place where he witnessed a conflict of such magnitude that the primordials themselves decided to interfere. He wasn't just going to stand on the side and observe. Time has come for him to step into the mortal plane and experience for himself the war of the Ancients.

As a melee hero he lacks a way to harass the enemy offlaner in the early game, but can be a powerful ganker coupled with a cc hero like Cm or Skywrath. He is also good at saving allies with his Q, while making opponents question whether to continue into it. Especially when Eb is out of sight. In the mid game he focuses on taking objectives with his team, or looking for pick-offs/fights with his third and ultimate. He might have mana issues so he would go prolly for Arcanes/Aoul ring type into somehting like Rod of Atos/Euls scepter for setup for his Q. Pretty sure he can go without it, but Blink Dagger seems like a must-have. You cast q on your allies and blink in for double blink, or cast your ultimate before hand, blink in, cast q+atos and ulty out, taking them with you. Late game he wants to tank up an grab a shivas or pipe while also wanting to have a glimmer cape or medalion for utility. All n all he doesn't really need any items, but instead relies on levels to boost up his skill efficency. Thats it for now.

I realized i forgot to add the talents :/ added them now

Hm, can Eb teleport to his ult shadow early? I feel that he should be able to but some clarification could be nice.

Why does his W have a total duration of extra 2 seconds? I get that the Q has a formation time but no formation time is stated for W? Also, looks like you forgot his E's mana cost and cooldown.

For formatting help, go to a post that you like the formatting of and press the 'Quote' button in the top right. This is show you the BBCode used to achieve those effects.

For [Q], is there a maximum range that Eb can be away from the spells origin point? I'm all for pulling all 10 players into my fountain but I don't know if everyone else is cool with that. I also think that the 'Maximum Hero' count should be reduced at all levels. Maybe even "1/2/3/4" because hero displacement is always REALLY powerful in Dota and the opportunity to move every hero in the game by level 7 is broken to say the least.

I think his [E] needs changes too. First, let's clarify if it can fly. Is it like Tusk's Ice Sigil or does it have to navigate trees and uphill (I think the later is best). I also have some worries about being able to cast [Q] in it's vision range from anywhere on the map. Maybe there's a maximum distance it can be from Eb? Or at least a maximum distance that it can be from Eb and he can still cast [Q] in it's vision. The problem here is that this skill makes the [Q] so incredibly powerful. Another solution is changing the [Q] like I said above.

Final notes, double and triple check your spelling and grammar because there were quite a few minor mistakes.

I feel it'd be best if he cant teleport beforehand (like Io relocate) because that makes coordinating Q and ultimate much more challenging.

As for W, the damage persists for 6 seconds while the slow only for 4. I'll clear that up.

Adding mana cost and cooldown now.

If Eb tps from base while X-d by Kunnka and hits someone with Q, they can be "fountain hooked". That's why I feel like hitting the ability should require some skill and coordination. I changed it so it doesn't slow before, but after it teleports people. Also I will add that the spell has both a visual and an audio queue so dodging it should be relatively easy. Also it doesn't pierce spell immunity and can be dodged with Euls. So unless you get hard cc-d you will probably manage to avoid it. I also changed it so it affects units too. The idea was to give Ebb some way to steal creeps in the offlane but I kinda feel it is impossible to punish unless I change the cast range on early levels. Also it doesn't cancel Tps.

As for the E, I think it is fine if make Q more difficult to land. It might be Op, but I think that if you know its coming, you will take precautions to not get displaced or even pick heroes/items to make sure he cant just E+Q (which i think is improbable because you have two whole seconds to move at full speed)
As for the spellings, I fixed the highlighted errors but it'l take time. English is not my mother tongue.
I'll get to formatting tomorrow. Tnx for the replies :)

I rebalansed a lot of stuff. It's all in the changelog :)
