[Champion Concept] Gadiel, the Burning Blade

VinnamonBuns·8/1/2015, 1:31:52 AM·2 votes·827 views

Hi there. This is just a fun little thing I thought up of. I'm not that great at number crunching so tell me if something seems over/underpowered. His name is pronounced "guh-jeel". Gadiel has no secondary resource bar, and is only limited by cooldowns. Be sure to upvote if you like it.

#Abilities

##Passive: Burning Spirit http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/e/e4/Ignite_icon.png

Gadiel reduces his ability cooldowns by 1 second for every 3 seconds he remains in combat. This effect wears off after 6 seconds of being out of combat.

##Q: Spiral Slice http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/4/4c/Blade_Fury_icon.png

Gadiel sweeps his blade in a circle around himself, dealing 40/60/80/100/120 (+100% AD) physical damage and knocking enemies away from him. If this move is cast while Cinder Slashes is active, Gadiel gains a stack for every enemy hit with this move.

Cooldown: 9 seconds Range: 450 units

##W: Searing Shield http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/1/11/Flame_Guard_icon.png

Passive: Gadiel gains a shield that blocks 70/80/90/100/120 (+50% AP) damage. Upon depletion, the shield ignites, slowing enemies caught in the range by 10/20/30/40/50% for as long as they stay in the blast zone. Gadiel gains 10/20/30/40/50% bonus movement speed for 4 seconds after the shield ignites.

Cooldown: 22 seconds (Starts after shield ignites) Range: 450 units

##E: Cinder Slashes http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/2/2f/Fury_Swipes_icon.png

1st Cast: Gadiel gains 25/30/35/40/50% bonus attack speed for 4/5/6/7/8 seconds. All auto attacks performed in this time have their damage reduced by 60%. Every auto attack Gadiel lands gets him a stack of Cinder Slashes.

2nd Cast: Gadiel ignites all enemies hit during the duration for 40/55/70/80/90 (+20% AP) magic damage per second for (# of Cinder Slashes Stacks) seconds. Can be re-activated before the duration is over.

Cooldown: 13 seconds

##R: Swelter Song http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/d/df/Sun_Ray_icon.png?version=d5d6c91aac778cba0f0a4b7d90ea8b41

Gadiel sheaths his sword and channels for 0.5 seconds. After channeling, he dashes forward in a line and unleashes a drawing strike, dealing enemies for 180/210/420 (+100% AP) damage to all enemies hit. In addition, enemies hit have their damage output reduced by 10/12/15%. If Gadiel gets interrupted during the channel, this skill goes on cooldown.

Cooldown: 200/180/160 seconds Range: 1240 units in a line (same distance/width as Braum's R)

Gadiel was made to be a duelist that had enough CC to maybe escape/stall in the event that he becomes outnumbered. He relies on building Attack Speed and Cooldown Reduction in order to becoming a healthy off-tank bruiser. Though he may have no escape other than his ult, I believe his Passive will be able to keep him healthily in the battle.

There he is! Feel free to comment or critique! Icons belong to Dota 2. Thanks for reading the entire thing if you did!

Cool idea, and great work, but the ult has a 2 second channel, that's like a karthus ult that has to be aimed, I would say like a second or maybe even less.
