I was inspired by this thread to make this hero concept. [For fun] The last video game character you played as (In a non-Blizzard game)
*disclaimer: I am not a game developer so all of these numbers are just place holders and would probably make this hero either very OP or very UP. so please keep that in mind.
So who is Caustic?
Caustic kit in Hots:
Caustic is a ranged tank with a kit focused on area denial and trap set up.
He excels in tight areas on the map and control point objectives like Volskaya Industries and channeling objectives like Cursed Hollow and Towers of Doom.
Passive: Nox Gas
All of Caustics basic abilities and his R1 Heroic apply Nox Gas which will slow enemy heroes by 20%, causes their vision radius to gradually decrease by .5 every second (to a minimum of 6.5), be revealed on the map, and will do %1 damage of an enemy heroes health that will increase by 2% for each second that the hero is in the gas.
Nox Gas does 5% of a minion, monster, mercenary, and boss hp for each second that they are effected by Nox Gas. And deals no damage to structures.
Nox Gas effects do not stack with each other.
Auto Attack:
While Caustic has no set in universe weapon that he uses in cannon on a regular basis. (that i am aware of) His weapon will be the Peacekeeper which is based off of this posehttps://youtu.be/FsRyGSutAtE?t=217His AA has a range of 6.5 but has a unique mechanic to it where the closer he is to his target the more damage he will do and vice versa where the further you are the less damage you do. (Max damage 250. Min damage 50)
Q: Nox Gas Trap: Cooldown 10 seconds
(Stores up to 3 charges)
Throw down a Nox Gas Trap on a set location and after arming for 2 seconds it can blanket a small area with Nox Gas if a enemy hero moves within it’s activated radius or if Caustic hits it with an AA. Nox Gas Traps when activated last for 5 seconds.
W: Last Breath: Cooldown 8 seconds (video reference) https://youtu.be/27CzEOSIBwg?t=36
Caustic channels for 1 seconds while he targets a hero near him and grabs a gas canister off his suit to spray the enemy hero that causes them to deal 30% less damage for 5 seconds and applies Nox Gas to them for 5 seconds.
E: Fortified: Cooldown 15 seconds
Activate to gain 15 armor, cleanse all roots from yourself, be immune to all slow effects and cause Nox Gas to be applied to all enemy heroes within a 3.5 range of you and heal for 30% of the damage dealt for 5 seconds.
R1: Nox Gas Grenade: Cooldown 80 seconds
Caustic throws a Nox Gas Grenade that explodes on impact and applys Nox Gas in a large area that lasts for 20 seconds,
R2: Drop ship: Cooldown 140 seconds
Channel for 3 seconds to call down a Drop ship at your current location to bring in Bloodhound and Revenant. Both Bloodhound and Revenant will target which ever enemy you ping by pressing R. Last for 25 seconds
Video Reference for Bloodhound:
Video Reference for Revenant:
(Bloodhound will use his ability as soon as he is spawned in and Revenant will use his as soon as he can throw it at an enemy. Both Bloodhound and Revenant have a health pool but i can not think of a good number to give them)
Bloodhound assumes a sniping position where you called in the Drop ship and is equipped with a Kraber. He will fire off 1 shot every 5 seconds at a target hero that you ping by pressing R. A trajectory path will appear 1 second before he fires his round off dealing 600 damage if it hits. He will also periodically reveal enemies in front of him in a wide radius every 10 seconds and they stay revealed for 3 seconds.
Revenant is equipped with a Prowler that does 100 damage a shot with a 20 clip magazine that will take 2 seconds to reload. Every 10 seconds Revenant will throw out his silence at the enemy that will silence any hero for 2.5 seconds if they make contact with it. The silence duration keeps refreshing if they remain in it.
I don’t expect my idea to be balanced but i would love to hear feedback.
