Hermes, The Messenger (Collective Hero Idea)

Hermes, The Messenger

This idea here is created collectively with the ideas from TheSofa, ThreadOfFate, Porygon361, Bunkansee and I. The base idea was originally from TheSofa and I do not claim this hero for being mine for I am merely in charge of minor balancing and publishing it.

Lore:
Hermes. Messenger of the gods, and fastest being alive. His winged boots a symbol of his nigh omnipresent speed, bringing every important item or letter between the gods. He had never failed in his job. Until one day...

Hermes had received a letter to be delivered to Zeus, with maximum priority on it. Hermes grabbed his trusty Caduceus and set off, his very being blurring at the speed. When he finally reached Zeus' temple, he saw... Nothing. Zeus had been sent to the mortal realm by Hera and the letter was now impossible to deliver unless Hermes did the same. It didn't matter. He had never failed before, and he won't let it be his first! (I changed some words in the lore, if you don't mind.

This skill removes all debuff from friendly heroes and removes all buffs to enemy units within certain radius from him. This skill is channeling, within that channel and radius no allied units can be debuffed or any enemy units can be buffed. However, once the channeling end, all buffs and debuffs are reapplied with refreshed duration. Acts similarly to purge, meaning that every debuff that is removable by purge is removable by this spell, and debuff that are not cannot be removed by this spell.
