Arwdia

Child of the Forest

Legends tell of the planet's heart, a twisting and writhing entity capable of mass destruction, held within a prison of stone, unable to escape. Through the millennia, this creature pushed a small appendage to the surface and produced a sac of seeds, embedded with it's malefic purpose and intent towards those who imprisoned it. Those seeds were then taken by Verodicia and planted throughout the world to give it life, the hidden consciousness waiting to arise. Born from a defect in a treant's seeds, Arwdia would like to think this isn't true, but something gnaws at the back of her mind, like a voice from deep within. Venturing away from her ancestor's mission of protection, she wanders the world in search of answers, and a way to clear the whispers in her mind, luring her towards corruption.

Primary Abilities

Entangling Step
After a brief delay of 0.4s, Arwdia Slams her foot into the ground, releasing a fast moving shockwave of roots and vines, rooting and damaging targets hit by it. Takes 0.8s to reach full distance and travels 650 range, lingering for 1.2s before dissipating. Slows and deals more damage while Feral.

How She Plays

Arwdia(Pronounced Ah-roo-dee-ah in welsh, the druidic language) Is designed as a heavy flex character, filling the potential roles of both tank and Damage dealer, mainly capable of playing position 1, 3 and 4, able to farm and shred the enemy team during the lategame with a mixture of attackspeed and survivability items, go offlane and tank with her damage reduction aoe, powerful E and rooting Q to trap enemies as well as stop escapes, especially when hitting level 15 and gaining a taunt when non-feral. Her Q also allows her to roam for ganks, as her R can allow her to play well in teamfights and contribute without gold or xp.

Her Autoattack

While in her non-feral form, Arwdia's autoattack is a lobbed seed that explodes on contact, created in the palm of her hand and thrown like an olympic hammer. While feral, her aa changes to a lunging attack with a pair of venus fly-trap bracers that unfold to envelop her hand while going feral.

I SPENT TO MUCH TIME TRYING TO POINT OUT EVERY SINGLE THING THAT UPSET ME ABOUT THIS HERO BUT I CLICKED PREVIEW AND IT IS ALL GONE, REBALANCE THE FERAL ABILITY IN IT'S ENTIRETY OR SCRAP IT. THE AGHS SHOULD ALSO BE TREATED SIMILARLY.

Aghanim's Sceptre Ability is super strong in ten minutes will give her more agility than Butterfly.

After more rebalancing and number changing, it's been changed to 2 every 15s(i think it was that, can't remember) to 2 every 90s.
