[HERO] – Zeppelin - Mechanical Wonder of the Sky (Intelligence, Radiant) -

Hey!

Please post your hero concept here on our website and avoid linking to other websites, would be great! :)

Thank you!

I used the image tool, but the image was unreadable in its resolution (could not be zoomed in). What do you suggest to work around this?

Did you try to use the image tags instead?

This is a great hero. I especially like the Anchor/Overview combo. They do something no other spell does in two completely new ways. This is amazing.

However, (ironically) my biggest criticism is with the two actual spells, because for all intents and purposes they act as one spell. You will never want to anchor without overview and, unless defending a tower and you have **** tons of health, or waiting a melee attacker out until help arrives, you will never want to use Overview without Anchor.
Because of this, I would combine the two into one ability that does what both do; if targeted on an ally it gives the benefits of both and acts as only Overview when it is targeted on the Zeppelin.

Replacing the spell shouldn't be too hard; we are talking about a magic-powered blimp here. Something I came up with in 5 seconds was Ionic Bond, a spell that zaps a unit with a lightning bolt (cast range is increased from overview) dealing heavy damage and doubling their mana regeneration rate for 3/4/5/6 seconds. Or you might be able to add an ability that picks up an ally and rushes with them to a target location, as a sort of transport vehicle. Really, you could do anything from damage to debuffing to positioning with the new ability.

I also am not sure if I like the ultimate, but I can't really think of a good reason why off the top of my head. It doesn't really combo with the rest of the hero's spells which is something I generally dislike, but there are many other spells that do so as well (see Laguna Blade, and Arcane Conversion is much more interesting anyway) so it isn't really an issue.

It should be made clear whether melee units can attack while Overview is up. It says in fine print that attack range cannot be reduced below zero but it also doesn't clarify whether the Zeppelin is phased for the duration. There are also a couple typos I noticed, and "Fortifications" should probably be changed to "Structures" but otherwise formatting and presentation is great!

If you crop some of the black borders from the sides, it'd fit rather well :) Then it would also be readable without having to click links.
