This Roach somehow managed to become free of the Zerg Hivemind once it fell into the Nexus. Now it fights for itself with its newly acquired self-awareness and self-preservation skills. Able to transform into 1 of 3 forms almost at will it can adapt to survive as it needs, no longer how the swarm wants it to be. The Roach form is a tanking for with higher HP and innate armor, Ravager form allows for an assassin style of play, while the Lurker form grants a more siege/zoning specialist battle style. The heroics are based off different styles of how I feel the hero COULD be played. A basic charge and deal damage one, straight up no fancy stuff. A buff to the heroes’ trait, allowing for instant mutation into any form from anywhere on the battle field, good for if you get ambushed as the lurker or if you need to chase down a feeling enemy. Or a strategic, pick off the healer/weak one, heroic that allows the Roach to abduct one enemy hero away from battle to fight 1v1… or flee if they can.
