Holy s**t. How long have you been building this up?! The gold-stealing is a tender subject which I'm sure will be debated, but I don't think there's much besides balancing issues with that. I like the random factor in her first skill and the effects aren't overpowered (maybe Jack is a little, but he's got 12 other values to be picked from). The Bouncy Dice should knock them away from the direction they're facing if it's a pseudo-escape tool since your version makes them catch up to you. A very well thought out and original idea, I approve!

Hahahaha, thank you! It's been lingering in my mind for quite a while, cuz I've always wanted to create a completely luck-based hero. Thanks for the reminder of changing the knock-back! It does make more sense that way!

even if it's not really that new, the concept is really interesting, not to mention you actually managed to make it plausible.
good job for this hero, though I also think the gold stealing will be highly debated.
the only thing I don't really think would work for this hero is her ultimate, probably you should make it active rather than passive?
For a little while, all skill gets stronger and any magic casted on this hero be bounced. That way it would make this hero more balanced, no?
I mean, spell reflection every 30 seconds is a much stronger version of free linken, so.....
The thing I like most though is the bouncy dice, I would really love to see a hero with that kind of skill lol
Overall, great job for making the hero! Would love to see more of your concepts :D

Thanks for the review! I'd like to keep the ult as a passive just because it can give a minor boost to her abilities since she's completely based on luck and a random factor. But I'll increase the spell reflection cool down.
