First of all , this is my first serious Post , so apologies for making mistakes and for bad formatting!
Now lets get serious. How did i come up with this idea? I saw recently a post about HotS lacking Diablo Heroes and i totally agree with it. While Diablo 3 presents mostly the "Diablo" franchise in HotS (except the appearance of Diablo itself), there are lot of nice Heroes , which would fit very nice into HotS and it would be a waste not integrating those.
So my Idea would be the Necromancer class from Diablo 2, which is one of my favourite . Necromancer abilities are split in D2 into 3 groups: summoning skills , poison and bone skills and curses. But why Zayl? He has a appearance in Diablo 3 RoS in the Path of the Drowned, we do not know much about him , but its something and its the latest model of a necromancer. http://ift.tt/1Ig5kVa There would also be some other possibilities like Nihlathak, because he is a important character in Diablo 2 and thus more recognizeable , but he is well known for using "Corpse Explosion" , which would not fit very right in HotS , but implementing him with this kit,which i have in mind would also be nice
Abilities Note: I choose his abilities mostly from the necromancer spells from Diablo 2
*His trait : Every 20 Seconds , a Skelleton Warrior is summoned , which will join alongside the nearest lane to fight. This cooldown is reduced by 1 Second for every miniondeath near Zayl or completely reduced on Herokill.
Possible upgrades :
-Reduced CD
-Stronger Skelletons
-Instead Skelleton Warriors , Skelleton Mages are summoned
Q : Curse(Amplify Damage)[High mana cost / 20 seconds CD]
Curses a certain area , which makes enemy minions and heroes suffer 15% more damage from basic attacks
(Spellcast similar to Tassadar)
Possible Talent:
-Increased range and/or radius
-Buildings also beeing curseable
-addional effects like slowing 10% (Decrepify)
-Basic attack damage done decreased by 10% (Weaken)
-Allies who attack cursed target are healed by X Life (Lifetap)
W: Bonespear [Little to Medium mana cost / 8 Sec CD] Launches a spear straight forward piercing through all targets in a line dealing X-Damage
Possible Talent:
-Range , width increase
-First enemy it encounters is stunned for 0,5 sek
-Poisoned spear , enemies take another 30% of the damage in the next 5 seconds
E Bone Wall [Medium mana cost / 15 sek CD]
Creates a Bone Wall in target location with X Life (Can soak up skillshot abilities )
(Likewise Anivias Ice Wall from League of Legends , but beeing attackable , thus also protecting from skillshots) Possible Talent:
-Increased cast range
-Reduced CD / manacost
-Hostile ranged basic attacks , who pass through the Bone Wall , have their damage reduced by 30%
R1 Summon Golem [High mana cost & CD] Summons a random of the 4 Golem (damage/Health likewise Ultralisk)
-Clay Golem : Slows nearby Enemys movement & attackspeed by 15%
-Blood Golem : 25% of damage taken is shared (e.g. Ability hits Zyal for 100 damage -> the Golem takes 25 of it and Zyal only takes 75 damage)
-Iron Golem : 30% more Health / 15% increased Damage and attack speed
-Fire Golem : Golem radiates burning fire , dealing neaby enemies X damage every second.
Possible Talent: The Iron Golem cannot be summoned anymore , but all his Golem brothers become clad in iron, resulting in getting his effect (Clay/Blood/Fire Golem get visually some iron plates)
R2 : Poison Nova [High mana cost & CD, very high range , about 1 screen] Spreads a toxic wave of poision. Enemies cought in the posion take X Damage for 10 Seconds
Possible Talent: -Poisioned enemies also get cursed (too OP?)
Pros and cons
Pros: -Great at teamfights , especially with a lot of basic attack type assassins as allies
-Great at sieging due to summoning Skelletons/Golems , cursing minions
-Great at disengaging and protecting allys with Bone Wall + blocking enemy disengage
Cons: -Very squishy (a Zeratul ,who blinks accros the bonewall is almost a certain death for Zyal)
-Able to block allies with Bone Wall , resulting in their possible death
-Little damage outcome by himself except bonespear and poision nova , which makes him 1vs1 very weak
Once again sorry for bad format and the mistakes , because english is not my native language. What do you guys think? Please let me now if there is something to correct or if you want to add / change . On demand , ill gladly think of certain Heroes for the Assassin (Natalya) / Amazon / Druid class of Diablo 2 :)
