Lota

The Nethersoul

Melee - Disabler - Carry - Escape


SUMMARY
Lota, the Nethersoul, is a melee Intelligence hero who intended to be swift and has a quite versatile role. As a carry, she uses a hybrid damage between physical and magic damage, and grants advantage by stealing attack speed. As a support, she has a lot of disruptive abilities and has some advantages such as bonus cast range and cooldown reduction. Most of her ability can also be used to ambush the enemies, such as Soul Needle, Soul Circle, and Soul Absorption, which can be used when Lota is not in sight.

LORE
Once, there was a war between the Monarch and the Rebel Army. The Monarch sought a true loyalty from their subordinate, yet the Rebel Army sought a freedom. After lost during the war in Kasa, the leader of Rebel Army, Lili, tried to escape from her body, in order to avoid herself being permanently killed by the Monarch Army. Unfortunately, because of her unstable condition, her soul was absorbed into her dying daughter, that caused her daughter's soul torn in two pieces. One has sanity and the other has power. The one that has sanity left the body, wandered around and finally lost, leaving the one that has power. After a few decades hiding inside her daughter, Lili got her power fully recovered. She gained consciousness, but couldn't control the body since the body still had the soul. The soul itself couldn't control its body, since it didn't had sanity. After realized that the body still had a soul, Lili transfers a piece of her memory into the soul, making the soul gained a self-aware, creating a new sanity. The soul finally could rise the body, but didn't remember anything, except her being defeated by Atol, one of the Monarch's commander. In order to revenge Atol, Lili told that there was a soul that need to be found, to fight along against Atol. With her remaining power, Lili turned a portion of her soul into a sword, bursting with soul aura as its blade. With the sword, the soul traveled across the land, finding the lost soul, and declared herself as Lota.

The hero is neat however I will say, the hero is already in the game. The niche this hero fills is already filled by Silencer, the abilities themselves are not bad if not for the fact they all have silence in them. I would say play with the title more.

Ok so soul right, maybe she has an ability that can "pull" out a soul of the target and that soul will remain and she can attack that "soul" afterwards she returns it and a percent of damage done to that "soul" is put into the "soul"'s owner dealing it as magical damage(if you can't visualize it try searching for Enchantress' super move in Injustice 2)

She can also have an ability that can cause the "soul" of a target enemy to attack it's owner.

Also, reduce the base amounts she can steal from her ult and whatever the ahgs gaves (except the immunity piercing) put it in the base ability. Cause at this point her Ahgs will be a requirement. Have the piercing immunity as a talent

The point is there are a lot of possible abilities based on her title because if the silence will be the selling point of this hero this hero will just be an AM/TA merged with Silencer kind of hero.

I see... Thanks for the feedback, I'll do some changes then.

About the silence... yeah, I think it's a quite odd to have abilities which all of them have silence, since they're just overlapping each other. I guess I'll remove some the silence and change with other CC, but still weaker than stun, since her damage output is a quite huge imo.

The ability that pulls a soul is pretty cool though, but I'm afraid it doesn't suit the playstyle I intend to make. In this case, I prefer to make her chase the enemy, so I made some abilities that supports her chase, except her W, but I guess it doesn't stop her from chasing.
