(ik he isnt an actual hero, but i LOVE the concept of an anti-mage )
the spellbreaker is a support who can branch into either defending his teammates from magic, or deal increased damage to mages. he can also mitigate the mana reduction of his teammates and cripples his enemy with mana problems, spell power reduction, and depression.

TALENTS!
TIER 1:
- dispel magic: (50 sec CD activatable) ( 6 range )

( they cannot be targeted, healed, or buffed by their allies for the duration, AND they will be rid of ALL pre-existing effects such as protected, armor, shields, etcā¦) ( cannot be targeted on any un-targetable unit (invulnerable, stasis), and for balancing issues, cannot be targeted on absorption)
passive: reduce siphonās cooldown by 2 seconds and increase the baseline spell armor to 35%
- blood mana: (30 sec CD activatable)
activate to make your next mana burn reduce mana by an additional 10% and deal 89 extra damage.
passive: reduce the cooldown of mana burn by 0.5 second for every enemy hit. doubled against heroes.

- loyal glaives: quest!
attack heroes 60 times
reward: your AA range is increased by 3 permanently, and the glaive now deals half the damage on the way to the target and return. this halved damage is affected by the damage buff of throwing glaives
- blood magic:
feedback also restores 15% of the damage taken as health
spells related to mana is a weird thing, but this heroās thing is to be powerful early game. he can branch to dealing alot of damage, supporting allies and tanking, or take more mana from enemies.
i made him to be the first REAL counter against mages. if the enemy comp in a draft has alot of mages, he would be an ideal choice.
and i know that some heroes do not have mana, but THEY would be a counter then! because the spellbreaker, was ALREADY weak against melee stuff in wc3! there are very few heroes who do not follow mana, and he would rock the meta by alot too ^^ besides, he does not FULLY rely on mana-full heroes. he can still do alot of ranged damage and tank.
lastly: i made his mana steal abillities weak ( 10% and 15% MAX mana steal ) to avoid the situation where there is no counterplay. the spellbreakerās cooldowns for mana steal abilities are not short, and you would use them mostly for their other effects. this can be countered by focusing the spellbreaker early in the teamfight. remember: he is a melee hero and he dosnāt have the largest health pool. you dont have to draft deckard for mana talent or malfurion. draft a strong diver or a DoT mage. and be careful with your mana.
counters against the spellbreaker:
kerrigan
samuro
imperius
varian
qhira ( poison does NOT count for trait )
genji
tracer
etcā¦
what the spellbreaker counters:
liāming
jaina
valeera( energy yes but she can barely touch him cuz spell armor)
uther
tassadar
kaelāthas
chromie
etcā¦
ill finish the talents once u guys approve of the design.
