Disclaimer
I built this kit as a Noise Marine because I couldn’t think of a Blizzard character to represent it. If you’re here to complain about that, please don’t. Focus on the kit. (^_^)
The Noise Marine is a low mobility but highly disruptive Ranged Tank that works best when holding objectives. On top of utilizing a number of already existing Crowd Control effects, the Noise Marine inflicts a new one with each ability: “Deafened”, which lowers the enemy’s awareness of the map.

Applying Crowd Control effects besides Deafened to enemy heroes under equal or greater Crowd Control effects causes the Noise Marine to heal for 30.4 health. Abilities that inflict multiple Crowd Control effects can cause this effect to trigger once for each crowd control effect.”Greater” Crowd Control Chart

In addition, all of the Noise Marine’s attacks are extremely loud, causing his ability damage to apply the Deafened effect for 2 seconds.

Random Notes
2586 starting health at level ‘0’, at Level 20 equals 5666. Would have gone for 6666, but, gotta still keep some balance here.
If I was to go for that, the Noise Marine’s starting health would be 3042.57964, which would equal 6666.66666 at level 20.
30.4 equals 66.6 at level 20, aka the perfect amount of healing from Mark of Slaanesh.
Blastmaster’s damage of 260 equals 569.69 at level 20.
Cry of Slaanesh should be obvious.
Kakophoni & Dirge Caster should be more obvious.
Our Song Shall Carry has the obvious one in its 66 requirement, but there is another, explained later…
Dirge of Slaanesh plays off of Mark of Slaanesh’s healing amount, plus a 6 second duration.
Amplified causes basic attacks at level 20 to deal 196 damage. Because always being 69 is so boring.
They Beg for Sound is slightly less obvious, with the 66% as useful Dirge Casters.
Hyperwave Blaster, combined with Our Song Shall Carry, increases the Noise Marine’s basic attack range to 6.6. This is the explained later that was mentioned.
And a few non-mentioned talents just very obviously use 6s somewhere.
