Ever since he was a child, Aedh loved to play out in the forest. He would spend countless hours wandering alone in the endless nature, wandering up and down, along creeks, over hills and roots. One day, while he was wading in a river, he saw a light in the distance. Curious to see what it was, he followed it until it brought him to a fountain. The fountain flowed, splashing merrily as if it had not a care in the world. The water seemed to come from nowhere, and there seemed to be endless water.
This was the fountain of life. And as Aedh drank from it, new strange powers came to him, as if he had woken up for the first time. His eyes were opened, so to speak, and he saw that nature was in danger. He quickly set out to redeem and protect the wild, and none dare stand in his way.

Hero Introduction

Hello all, TheSofa here, bringing you one of my newest and most rushed ideas: Aedh, the Ambassador of Life.

First of all, to Yzreel, Pory, kkoopman, and Bunkan who may recognize the roots of this hero: Sorry, I had to do it. The idea was too good to pass up.

Second, many of you know I had an exam on the 7th which I studied for almost my entire day, so sorry for being a bit late.

Now to the hero itself. I chose the theme "Create a hero with Bloodstone as a core item." First I looked at what Bloodstone offers us: Lots of Mana regeneration, death timer reduction, gold lost reduction, heal on death, and an option to suicide.

Originally (yesterday), I created a hero that had something to do with nature, it wasn't good at all. Then I looked through my PM's and saw a sketch of the first two abilities of a hero, smushed that with the ult of my old hero and make a new passive, and there he is, Aedh, the Ambassador of Life.

Now why is Bloodstone core? The first and most obvious reason is that the mana regen greatly increases the Tree of Life heal. Also, Aedh is surprisingly mana-intesive because of the low cooldown of Breath of Life. Second, it makes good use of Natural Disaster, since the percentage cooldown timer reduction is calculated before the flat reduction of Bloodstone. Also, the Bloodstone heal does in fact heal the Tree of Life. Finally, Aedh has very low strength and strength gain and benefits from the HP of Bloodstone.

This hero is meant to rush a Bloodstone, then immediately go into a Upgraded Boots of Travel. What this hero is meant to do in a fight is: Place the Tree of Life, use Breath of Life as often as possible. If the fight goes wrong, suicide to heal your tree and teammates. The respawn timer reduction should come into play, and a few seconds later, you may rejoin the fight with Upgraded Boots of Travel.

Of course the down side of this hero is that he does require a Bloodstone, but has no carry potential whatsoever. Therefore you are giving farm priority to a hero that does not carry late game.

What I can see however, is that Aedh can potentially jungle with the Rock Golems. His terrible attack and the low DPS might make it slow though.

And no one did Responses, so I'm not going to bother.

Cheers!
