Rework

“By the impure powers of nature.”

Design

Nothing about Leshrac really stands out. He deals a lot of area damage with Light Strike Array and a basic Chain Frost plus 2 spells that damage enemies around him over time to the point of redundancy. Of course, boiling down abilities like this makes every hero seem lame, and I agree. Personally, I just really want to redesign his skill set to feel more interesting to play. At the same time, I want them to tie them better to his lore of a creature scarred upon learning the dark truth of life and his theme of malevolently using the elements of nature for his own ends. All this while trying to preserve his feel, strengths and weaknesses.

As a disclaimer, this rework is not intended to balance him but to explore more creative implementation of his abilities, so try not to focus on the numbers too much. Here is the current Leshrac for reference. Any unmentioned numbers are assumed to remain the same.

Discussion

• Let’s go through each spell one-by-one, starting with the most different one: Diabolic Edict . Is its current form bad? Not really, but with such a similar in purpose ultimate on the same kit, it all feels quite redundant. So, I’ve dec >Kunkka , Magnus and Elder Titan . Imagine casting this on a carry against buff supports like Omniknight , Abaddon and Chen . The extra damage based around the target instead of himself to make it more unique and useful for isolation is just icing on the cake. This ability was inspired by the line in his lore of “He alone sees the evil truth of reality, and has no use for those who believe the cosmos reserves a special reward for those who practice benevolence”.

Pulse Nova remains largely the same. Instead of magical damage, it now deals the missing physical damage from his old Edict. More magic damage isn’t wrong, but I always felt the physical damage spell is more interesting. It now also incorporates the missing building damage from his old Edict, so he retains the unique pushing strength he has at the cost of more mana. Dota 2 700 radius of a circle Overall, it still turns him into a disco pony who walks in the middle of tons of enemies to eviscerate them. However, it now also has a new mechanic if he walks into only one enemy. The slow isn’t the greatest but is definitely useful for helping him better chase and survive. Of course, going for this is not as efficient in terms of total damage for the mana cost so there is a tradeoff. Since the slow has a decent duration, he can pick off and tag specific enemies by toggling it on and off, but this also consumes more mana. Dota 2 700 radius of a circle The isolating power of the new Diabolic Edict also synergizes well with this new component. Overall, these changes introduce more nuance into an ability that was otherwise just a tool for damage.

Split Earth is now Twist Earth. It still retains the damage and disable in an area, but the new displacement effect now truly showcases his ability to manipulate nature and foes alike as he sees fit. If you don’t understand what it does, just imagine Vacuum but instead of moving them to the center, enemies continue to move through the center and to a point equal to the distance from the center as they were before. With the delay removed but the stun incredibly shortened, the rotation effect introduces a new level of skill. Good use lets him move multiple enemies quite good distances but poor use will turn it into just an average nuke. All this truly makes the spell feel unique and not just a copy of Lina ‘s own area disable. Lightning Storm is reminiscent of its old form but in a style similar to Nimbus . It still damages and slows multiple enemies by ‘bouncing’ around them, but in a way that feels more like an actual storm and less like Lich ‘s ultimate. It trades some immediate power for better zoning, and the nature of the spell itself compliments the rest of his revamped kit.

I confuse these two into each other!

It’s fairly simple to comprehend that assassinate is described as range. Cos it defines how far the bullet goes. However, shadowraze of sf is described by range though when you hover the mouse over the spells, it draws a circle. Another example, dazzle’s shallow grave says range whereas shadow wave says radius. why?

Range = Maximum Range that the spell can reach. Attempting to use the spell out of this range will cause your hero to walk towards the intended target until the hero is in range, to which it’ll use it.

Radius = Always the exact same range. From my understanding, this only affect’s Shadow Fiend’s Shadowraise, since Shadowraise has a specific range (per each different type).

this is not quite explanatory, sorry

There’s also stuff like auras and AOE of some spells.

Ok. the range of the spell, in SF’s case, is where the spell will land while the radius is it’s AOE. SF’s razers are just like any other AOE spell, but it’s a skillshot that you can’t manually chose where it will land since it relies on your location and where your hero is looking at.

i got this. in sf’s case, it only affects the spot where his spells will land. not the entire circular area between sf and the last edge. only last edge.

how about dazzle?

shadow wave –> radius
shallow grave –> range

range = distance from you and the point target
radius = distance from the middle of the circle to the edge of a circle

dazzle’s WEAVE has a cast RANGE of “2000” and its RADIUS of Area of Effect (AOE) is 575 (775 scepter upgrade). So, it means that you can cast the spell 2000 units away from your hero and affects all the units within the radius (575 or 775 with scepter).

without scepter, WEAVE can reach up to 2000 + [(575) (2) = 1150] = 3150 units away from your hero to the very edge of the circle (WEAVE)

with scepter, it can reach up to 2000 + [(775) (2) = 1550] = 3550 units away from your hero to the very edge of the circle (WEAVE)
