Lore

Martial arts was considered redundant in the face of battles between sword and magic, yet there were a select few who still studied the techniques, keeping the tradition alive. One such practitioner was Kain, who won five world championships in a row before the competitions were cancelled. He was a regular mortal human, with no divine aid, who could crush whole mountains if given a week alone.

Of course, this talent had led to many bounty hunting opportunities. Anyone who dared ask a man such as himself to preform such low jobs had their head sent home with half the skull missing.

Eventually, word reached his little hometown about the battle of the Ancients, and that they were recruiting any help that they could get. Seeing this as an opportune moment to show the world the power of Martial arts, Kain was the first to sign up.

E: Boulder punch combo (Target unit)

Kain unleashes a volley of slow punches on to a
targeted unit. Each punch does slowly increasing damage,
and there are four punches in total. The fourth punch deal

up north, Kain prepares a powerful punch that activates

the enemy for 200, stuns, and deals extra damage.
The next 5 autoattacks after this ability also
receive the extra damage.

Responses

Spawning:
-My fists are always ready.
-I wasn't going to let Martial arts die like that!
-That was a shoddy performance.

Moving:
-Hastening to victory.
-Will we find battle there?

Killing a hero:
-My own 'Handiwork'! Haha!
-Martial arts beats magic/steel.

Killing a rival:
Tusk - Tusk, old friend...Why did it come to this?
Tusk - This isn't a bar fight, Tusk. Go home.
Drow Ranger Silence me all you want, my fists speak for themselves.
Dark Seer You, atleast, utilised your fists.

Meeting an ally
Tusk - Hey, Tusk! My punch has gotten better.
Tusk - us against 5? Just like old times at the tavern, eh Tusk?
Dark Seer A strategist AND a fist user AND a mage! You, my friend, are awesome.

Ulti needs more information AOE of stun etc, sounds pretty OP.

The combo is pretty useless all game long,you have more base damage than those punches with a level or 2.

And the most broken thing, GOOD GOD MAN, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE STATS GAIN! 8.1 ????

Why does the ulti need more info? I never said anything about an AoE.

I have tweaked the stats on that slightly. If it's still underpowered, I will just re-do it.

Changed stat gains.

You're on an idea rampage! I really like this, lots of skills and no confusion. Good job!

HOLY SHIIIIIT! *idea* RAMPAGE!!!!

In all seriousness thank you. It's a bit like you when you first joined. 2 heroes a day xD

Does the passive apply whilst you are still under the effects of the ulti? If you get lucky this is 2000 damage over 5 hits.

This is a great idea. All the skills are very well balanced. Good job! In other words:

I... I think I'm in love!

BY THE POWER OF PSEUDO-RANDOM CHANCE! I HAVE THE CRITICAL!!!!

No in all seriousness, it does. With Pseudo-random, this is so unlikely I don't even know.
If you WERE that lucky......FALLLCOOOOON....PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!

Well, ya never know. You have about a 0.525% chance of this occurring, meaning it'll happen once every 190 casts. That's not as uncommon as you might think. :)

Sounds like the same chance to earn a random bonus reward from a treasure chest. The amount of hard earned cash I've spent trying to get my hands on those rewards... (by "hard earned cash" I mean money I earned from selling dota 2 items on the marketplace)

...and none from me for 2 weeks :(

I'm on an idea dry spell right now, but I'm almost done with my latest idea, stay tuned :D
