Hartan is a hero with an amazing intiating abilities, but with ways untraditional to most intiators that requires Blink Dagger. He initiates the fight by simply attacking, and when he does, he applied a powerful buff to allies. He also has the ability to push globally with his creep-buffing spells.
LORE
In the grim lands of the Ruelands, there lies the small village of Talonreach. They lived in harmony, with animals and plants, and with each people. But then, an threat rises. Raiders of Dread, wielding steel and magic to destroys all in their path. Ravaging and raiding village after village, led by the Scourge of the Plains. The elder gathered with his people, deciding what shall be done to delay grim fate.
They must chose a General. A man who is capable and willing. 4 man rises to volunteer. All of them spoke in arrogance of their capabilities. One said he had slain a dragon with bare hands, one had also said that he raided a bandit camp all by himslef. With much thinking, the elder choses all 4 to be the General.
In the army was Hartan. A humble farmer with fine swordplays. During the battle, he cut through the steel of his foes with his blade. Sometime later, chaos erupts. The generals had created 3 orders at once. The leaders cannot cooperate. Some squad was raged because it didnt follow a particular general. The generals are fighting each other. Caught offguard, they were victims to the enemy's sorcery.
When defeat seemed to follow, Hartan spontaneously shouted. Giving orders and battle plans. With one clutch command, the left flank revived and forces the enemy back. The right and the center had pushed the enemy further aswell. Soon, the Raiders of Dread will become the Raiders of Death.
The soldiers shouted of victory, celebrating their continuing of life. The elder raises Hartan as the village's commander and general. They had won some more battles after that day, and his statue was made in honor of him. Hartan's work was noted by great kingdoms, and he is on the way to become legend.

(1) Charge (no target, self, allies)
Orders the units around you to a battle mode, increasing movement speed and reducing any forms of damage taken from the front while moving under this buff. Does not reduce pure damage. Grants phased movement at level 4.

Bonus movement speed: 35%
Front damage reduction: 40%

"When the horns sounded, Hartan's army is always ready to serve him"
(2) Beginning the Fight (passive, allies, UAM)
When Hartan attacked a hero that hasnt been attacked by another hero for the last 12 seconds, Hartan and nearby allies gained a powerful buff that increases armor and damage. Stacks up to 5 times, duration is refreshed for each stack gain. On creeps, the effects are halved (including duration) and stacks indefinitely separately.
Beginning the Fight is a Unique Attack Modifier, and does not stack with any other Unique Attack Modifier.
"When the General attacks, nearby soldiers always creates a devastating follow up"
(3) Master of Logistics (passive, allies, creeps, self)
Mastering the logistics, Hartan passively improves the battle. For each creep that died near Hartan, he and all his allies gained 10% of the creep's bounty. If a hero dies near Hartan, he and his allies would receive a percentage of it's net worth as gold. Gold bonuses from heroes are divided to each hero in the battlefield. Gold from heroes are reliable, but from creeps is unreliable. Also passively adds an additional 1 periodic gold every 1.2 second.
Bonus periodic GPM: 50
Creep and Hero death radius: 1200, must be on vision
Networth as gold: 6/7/9/11%
"For each soldier fell for the blades of Hartan's army, his army grew stronger."
(4) Leadership (passive, creeps)
Mastering the warfare, Hartan increases the health, armor, and damage of faction creeps. If an enemy unit (heroes and buildings not included) goes near to a faction-controlled unit or building, it will has it's attack speed and armor reduced. Has a timer before actually going active, and will be reset upon death and retimed after respawn.
AGHANIM'S SCEPTER UPGRADE:
Reduces timer and adds the 'Knight' unit to every creep wave. Has different models for different factions. Cannot become mega creep. Is controlled by faction, not by hero. Will not respawn if Hartan is killed.
"The terrifying powers of the General comes rather from the forces he lead."
There you have it folks. Another hero idea. This is a weird hero I may say, but oh well :<
Yes, its too much of a passive hero. 3 of the spells are passive.
Feedbacks are a must

Hey Unscathed. You have an interesting hero idea here. I'll try to tackle it by breaking it into categories.
Lore: 5/5. Solid. Fits in well with the others.
Originality: 4/5. Since Abyssal Underlord has not yet been implemented, I've kind of wanted to see a hero more built for faction fighting.
Balance: 2/5. Numbers are a bit high, like Charge being 35% at all levels. His Masters of Logistics skill seems like it can be very dangerous with its current amounts if he has a team to protect him.
Synergy: 3/5. Oddly, his Q and W have synergy, and his E and R do too, but all together, it feels like two different skillsets. It's okay for versatility, but making one little factor of them more synergistic will make the hero feel more complete.
Comments: This hero has some insane snowballing potential. Also, Some of the skill names are a bit out of the tone of Dota (but oddly fit Legion Commander, so it's fine).
I've reworked the Masters of Logistics, but remained the periodic gold.
Charge are always 35% for the offlane and besides its just 4 seconds. And its not that good for escape either because it only reduces damage from the front. And the cooldown too.
I've added some responses too. Hope you enjoyed and liked it ! :)
