Most Complex Hero Suggestion Ever?

[Magnum]

The magnum opus of the Legion engineers, Magnum was built from the parts of the prototype Chronos warriors. As they searched for a new means of mechanical life, the enigma Andromeda came across their plight and offered a solution. She transported a strange shard of glowing crystal from her home dimension. With its addition, Magnum rose from his dreamless slumber with a whirring of gears and pumping of pistons. However, his strange otherworldly core gave him far more power than even his creators could have anticipated. Magnum gained a strange power over electromagnetism and gravity, and the power to freely dissemble and reassemble himself into any form he wishes.


Role: Primarily plays a carry as the game progresses, but adapts to be different roles if a hard carry has already been picked. Plays decently as an int or str hero if absolutely needed, but really shines in carrying and anti-carrying due to his armor buffs and stat gain during his ultimate. Think Morphling mixed with Invoker...

Note: This is not a Morphling port or even a semi-port. Don't compare Magnum like that :/



Note: all variations of each skill share cooldowns

Suggested Items

He can be anything you want to play him as; with his ult he gains the power to become a DPS monster, a tank, or an excellent support. You would build items around what role you want him to be and specialize in that role. He benefits the most from items that benefit all his stats, such as Frostwulf Skull, or something like Behemoth’s Heart, which he can use by toggling the bonus it gives as he toggles his main stat. Items like Hellflower or Harkon’s Blade, which are typically not gotten by most carries or intelligence heroes because they’re not straight intel or agi items, are great for Magnum because he’s always benefited by the stats he gets.

Hero Synergies

Fenrisulf and I spent a while working on this stuff so we'd appreciate very well thought out and constructive criticism
Concept Art all original work by Fenrisulf, all rights reserved

The numbers are weird and generally encourage specific levels of certain abilities because they don't scale properly. I would redo the scaling of all abilities.

The hero concept might be overpowered just due to the sheer versatility. Kinda fun though. The selection and use of his abilities is also interesting.

I don't like this hero at all. Good thing it's not yours or this would be two in a row that I didn't like. (The 0 CD blink one was the one before).
