CDC #10 - Retroactive Reconstruction

[HR] - Uther - rework - CDC #10

So on paper Uther seems pretty great but in practice he’s a pretty boring for many people. He goes out of mana really quickly, and has an extremely low skill cap. Nothing in his kit is particularly broken or clunky but despite this he’s alwase had mid-low to low popularity. Most of my changes aim to solve one of these problems. Hes pretty strong at all levels of play so I wont be introducing very many new strengths or weaknesses. base stats are unchanged Damage absorbed by armor is now shown …

Heres the zelda you asked for.

also despite choosing uther I am not in fact a judge for this contest.

[HR] The Lost Vikings Rework | CDC #10

Universe: Classic (Or Nexus, as it is now) Role: Support The Verdict As The Lost Vikings are now, they’re not bad, but they’re certainly not a great representation of their original characters either. This rework emphasizes more fully completing the fantasy of The Lost Vikings, whilst changing them to be more flexible and a little less niche. Hopefully, these changes will mix up how The Lost Vikings are approached as a hero, and make them less of a soak-bot type of Hero and granting them deepe…

Don’t mess vit the vikings! Tat is right!

[HR] Kael'thas - Rework - CDC #10

Kael’thas The Sun King Role: Ranged assasin Universe: Warcraft Kael’thas in his current form is decent representation of himself and has ok winrate. However his main problem is that he is very often picked/banned in lower leagues while being percieved as weaker mage in higher league. I will try to adress that as well as some “unfun” mechanics in this rework. Verdant Spheres (D) Cooldown: 6 seconds Activate to make your next Basic Ability more powerful. Active part of his trait re…

Now this prince is fresh.

[HR] Rehgar- Rework CDC #10

Rhegar used to be the aggressive support but now is played more like a back-line healer and not aggressive enough compare to other new and reworked supports. The purpose of this rework is to make him more aggressive but without buffing him so we wont get a Rehgod again I wrote down only the changes in order to make them clearer. made some changes to the talents, they appear with an underline [TRAIT] Ghost Wolf. Added functionality- Basic Attacks in Ghost Wolf form also make your basic abil…

All hail the doggo shaman!!!

I think I’ll join in with a Zagara rework.

[HR] Zagara CDC#10

This is my entry for CDC #10, reworking Zagara to have Abilities focused more on the powerful Swarm Commander she is, instead of copy-pasted Abilities from her Hero in SC2. Her role in HotS with this rework is to help push lanes, and to assist her allies in Teamfights. Q: Baneling Barrage: mostly unchanged, but now travels 50% faster if cast from Creep. W: Evolve Swarm: Zagara changes allied Minions in the target area into Melee Zerglings, Ranged Roaches, and Caster Swarm Queens. Zerglings Att…

[Hr] Rexxar Rework - CDC#10

Rexxar, Son of the Mok’Nathal I Thought it was weird that Rexxar didn’t have abilities much like a Beastmaster, that he is.He’s based on more like a WoW Beast Mastery Hunter and like his Warcraft 3 self. Because of his Mok’Nathal heritage, he would be based between a Tank and Bruiser, depending on what pet and style you want on Talent 1, that enables engagements and provides friendly utility. Skins: Mad Skull Rexxar: Rexxar is part of the Laughing Skull Clan and so is naturally crazy and str…

Let the Hunt begin!

[Cammykins-11354]

Copy and past the link from your post.

[Trixter-11446]

Yes, but I’m on a tablet, how do I see the link?

[Cammykins-11354]

At the top, I’m assuming if your using something like Safari.

[Trixter-11446]

Figured it out! Had to tap on the website location link thingy at the top to see it.

Danm you love that Carbot Kael’Thas mirror emoji

[Marrossi-2368]

I love Carbot in general.
The day his art works came to HotS was one of the best.

Kharazim Hero Rework CDC#10

TRAIT (This one is a two-part) Transcendence: Every 3rd Basic Attack heals the lowest nearby allied Hero for 41 and gives 25% increased Move Speed for 2 seconds. Mystic ally: Kharazim has a mystic ally pet who is untargetable and deals no damage (Depending on which talent you choose later on). Mystic ally attacks at the same speed as Kharazim and can activate transcendence. Mystic ally does not provide vision. Explination: This is the biggest change. Kharazim’s biggest flaw is having to stay …

I feel confident about this one

Week 1 judging is done! Just a reminder for everyone who included talents, Week 1 judging does not include talents and I based my scores on your base kit changes alone.

[WhoYouExpect-1692]

Week 2 judging is done, and in record time for me! I hope my feedback will help you all improve your concepts for the next two weeks. (^_^)

[Damian-1581]

[Damian-1581]

Thanks to everyone for participating in the tenth Concept Design Contest, judged by myself, Damian, and WhoYouExpect (and of course, organized by the wonderful Bliztron)! All of the scores have just been posted. Reworks can be challenging, but everyone here was able to stay true to the character while developing new gameplay identities and building on those already in place! This isn’t easy, so I’d like to congratulate all contestants for their hard work. And now for the results…

The winner of the tenth CDC is LuckyTiger, whose Rehgar rework was able to nail the hero’s identity and playstyle perfectly with thoughtful changes, earning a score of 100/100; in case the perfect score didn’t give it away, the judges were beyond impressed and couldn’t find any concerns. Link found here: [HR] Rehgar- Rework CDC #10

The runner-up was waterlong’s Uther rework, which took some risky changes to the base kit and executed them well, with many interesting mechanics in both the basic abilities and talents that the judges felt took Uther’s existing playstyle and made it more interesting and viable, earning a score of 97/100. Link found here: [HR] - Uther - rework - CDC #10

Finally, for the honorable designer award, the judges picked Cammykins for their Rexxar rework. Cammykins clearly had a lot of passion for the concept, with a Rexxar that was faithful to the traditional Mok’nathal Beastmaster while creating a playstyle that was both unique and thematic.

With the end of the contest, I’d like to congratulate every participant again for their hard work and success on their concepts. These reworks provided new perspectives on existing heroes, and I hope that all the thought that went into them can help you see new perspectives on your own concepts, making them better than ever. I look forward to the next CDC, and hope to see everyone who competed this time showing their talents again with another round of great concepts!
