Empower me is attractive and powerful ult, but I think…
Its cooldown is toooo long. I suggest cooldown of EMPOWER ME should be 2 min or 3 minute, considering Zagara’s ult or Kerrigan’s ult.
And
Alarak’s attacks on moving objects(like train) don’t work well.
It seems he just charges and charges, not attacks.
Please fix this bug. For Alarak!
I also don’t see the point of Alarak’s Lightning Surge…
Would be nice if he gets permenant damage increase in all of his abilities (maximum of 20)
Imposing presence will be awesome if it can be applied to Destruction wave.
Overpowered should give Alarak wide splash damage (wide red arc slash would be nice).
You know… it would be AMAZING if Alarak’s attack Mastery affects his abilities as well (destruction wave would be 80 at full power).
It allows Deadly Charge to hit 4 units in one cast. Fully empowered, Deadly Charge deals at most 2k damage and the splash should at least be at 300-500 if the bonus applies to the splash too (I never noticed because I use DC to take down high hp and high priority targets.) It’s barely noticed because of Destruction Wave, your first choice for AoE, and also because it requires a supplicant’s sacrifice. If you’re not doing 1qe2c you won’t notice it at all.
This idea would require some tweaks, a 2 second stun on a 5 sec cooldown is game breaking. Even if it was just a slow to all units, the knockback makes it too powerful, Alarak and his army would be untouchable.
I would like it if Overpowered was a passive that worked outside of Empower Me, I wouldn’t really prioritize auto-attacking during Empower Me over Destruction Wave, add to that a wide, slashing, auto-attack that I assume would also apply Imposing Presence, any wave or base would be decimated in mere seconds.
Yeah, a little too amazing. Combined with your first idea that would give Alarak’s abilities +20 damage, the amount of supply needed to reach the point where Destruction Wave can wipe out capital ships during empower me would be way lower, not to mention the sheer early game power an ability like Destruction Wave would have with 100 damage. That’s basically Fenix’s Solarite Cannon with no energy cost, a larger area and hits air units.
I like your ideas, in the way that they would allow Alarak to deal massive amounts of damage without the need for Ascendants to trigger Wrath of the Highlord. However they start overlapping with each other when you start factoring in the multiplicative nature of Empower Me and the 2 sec stun of Imposing presence. I do agree that Imposing presence needs some love, since pure damage seems to beat crowd control when you add Ascendants to the mix.
OPs idea to reduce the cooldown on Empower Me solves most Alarak’s problems when it comes to ramping up, Alarak is in a good place right now when it comes to hero-based play the only problems being a high skill floor, a high micro requirement and when they removed Wrath of the Highlord’s global area.
Don’t worry, the chargy-chargy thing actually does apply his auto attack damage.
