I know they haven’t made a new hero in a long time but with them updating the game occasionally again and even updated the suggestion and feedback post 2 weeks ago I thought I’d throw in an idea for Belial Lord of Lies who is my favorite Lesser Evil.
Trait (D)
Deceitful Presence: Belial generates a stacking debuff on enemies he damages, reducing their vision range and increasing the cooldown of their abilities by 1% per stack, up to a maximum of 15 stacks. Stacks last for 3 seconds.
Basic Abilities
Q: Illusion Strike: Belial creates an illusion of himself that charges forward, dealing damage to enemies in its path. After reaching the end of its charge, the illusion persists for 4 seconds, attacking nearby enemies for a percentage of Belial’s damage. If the illusion is destroyed, it explodes, dealing damage to nearby enemies.
W: Ensnaring Lies: Belial casts a deceptive net in a target area. Enemies caught in the net are slowed and take periodic damage over 4 seconds. If an enemy is hit by Illusion Strike while in the net, they are stunned for 1.5 seconds.
E: Shifting Shadows: Belial dashes a short distance, becoming invisible for 2 seconds and creating a decoy at his original location that mimics his actions for 3 seconds. The decoy deals no damage but can be targeted and destroyed.
Heroic Abilities (R)
R1: Lord of Lies: Belial creates multiple illusions of himself in a wide area, each illusion mirroring his actions and dealing a percentage of his damage. These illusions last for 10 seconds. Enemies within the area are confused, causing their basic attacks to have a 25% chance to miss.
R2: Mass Deception: Belial selects an area on the battlefield. All enemy heroes within the area see illusionary duplicates of all friendly and enemy heroes for 8 seconds. While in this state, enemy heroes have reduced vision range and their abilities target the illusions randomly instead of the real heroes.
