It's been a while since I made one of these heroes. Well, I'm back. I may be a bit rusty though so please comment on this hero.

Glad to see a new idea from you! One problem with scorch, the fact that is is permanent is a bit too... op. Sure, it has a high mana cost. But you can just go back and forth between lanes, and coat the enemy field with runes. At level 4 (max level) it is wayyy to powerful imo. The radius is huge and if you line the lane with them, it means constant 10 mana regen 40 bonus attributes, (which is huge btw, more than 3 ultimate orbs would give you) 20 hp regen, plus the damage per second, which isn't big, but think how many pushes would fail due to the amount of creeps being owned before they got to the tower. I recommend adding a limit to the amount you can place, this way this it can't be abused as much, also 10 mana regen at level 1??

As was previously said, infinite Scorches are quite OP while while his W is too weak - Omniknight has this skill as passive that is 6% less potent as slow but also slows Attack Speed. Tusk also has something like that. Scar is also too weak, as killing Pyrus with physical damage entirely grants him only 2% increase - while this passive is almost useless early-mid game and only does something lategame when every death maybe your last because of long respawn time. Also, while his ultimate is quite strong, there is actually no reason to try to kill Pyrus - he only deals good damage in the circle while he can't protect his allies other than his ultimate and his limited AOE slow. It would be easier to simply slay his team and finish Pyrus off later.

I would add a cd and limit duration of his Q so there's a certain maximum amount of them can be present. W IMO should be replaced with some aura so killing Pyrus would be more worthy - as an idea, a 600 AOE Blade Mail that makes all units but Pyrus in it return a portion of damage - 5-20% would do I suppose. Scar should be reworked or replaced too - again, as an idea, Pyrus sacrifices a percentage(10-25%) of his Hp to heal every hero around for 5-12% of Pyrus' current Hp(before casting), with a 10-20 sec cd and a little to no manacost.

That makes Pyrus a much more pesky hero and #1 target in fights which makes use of his Q.

It's all just my opinion, of course.

^ THAT

Also if SCAR is permanent then that's OP too.

Ultimate again is tooo OP, imagine a centaur cleaning up a teamfight suddenly everyone is at full health ( hypothetical ). Only huskar does this type of damage, and then receives some himself to balance it out, TB requires to be melee to use his, and well weaver only changes HP for himself.

That is one hero idea which breaks all balance

Yeah, make a duration to Scar and Scorch. Like Static Link.

Well, the scorch doesn't need a duration, it's fine that it's permanent, but it needs a limit, or it can be really abused.

yeah, like

790 health
40 attackspeed
just under 6 armour
530 armour
510 mana
1.2 HP regen
40 Damage.

I do think the mana regen needs a nerf though, as 10 at lvl 1 is pretty insane.

Oh, the stats are only for the attributes. at 40 HP regen to the 1.2, and 20 mana regen.
