Galvan
Stormseeker
Primary Attribute: Agility, 350 ranged
Team: Bane

The shadowy figure peered into the orb.

"Hrm. These four individuals of the Order are disturbing the elements. Elements which are necessary to our domination. While Jhita has the fire mastered, and Atrius, the earth under his control, the light is bent by the lightbender, and darkness is mine. But..."

He thought. And then, he knew.

"Master, the clothing of slain soldiers you have asked for has arrived for you. I have only kept the metallic parts, as you have asked."

The parts that weren't in terrible shape were simply shredded to bits, but they would do.

The dual-bladed behemot vanished.

"Very well."

A rainless storm roared over the Desert of Exile.

Dis appeared anxious in his cage, and Arro attempted to calm the creature down. In vain.

On the orb flashed images of the Eld Runebearer, and of the three Anima brothers.

ROAR!!

It's also very descriptive. Hell, I even have an icon in mind.

I'd imagine it's like putting immolation on units with conditions. Through an aura.

Uhh, pigger has it right. The idea here is to apply a condition on an allied unit ( through overload ), yourself ( through magnetism ) and enemies ( through magnetism ) and basically see bunched up creeps annihilate themeselves

Like Jhita's original Splinter Cell souped up and rape-age over time.

Pretty much!

I modified a few things and tried to clarify the ultimate. There are two main ways of playing him, it seems. The first one would be a chain lightning / magnetism build, where you'd basically maim a bunch of enemies, then chain them for maximum damage. Consider the ultimate, and overpower and it's carnage right there. Mostly, a caster build.

The second one is a little more subtle, where you'd use overpower and magnetize to buff up your damage by a bunch, and use chain / ult as complements. Maybe better against one on one targets, especially with items that give damage / rikter's / firebrand, and probably some of the newest.

You know, Dusk, since everyone seems to love this model, you should turn this into a Hero Contest. Make a hero based on the Lightning Dude!

Very subtle way of saying that my idea sucks :[

Truth be told, I hadn't looked at your hero before you said that he sucked, Oxy. I was distracted by the big honking picture you put up. But now I shall review it!

I get the feeling i've seen this before, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Holding off judgement on it for now.

Clarify who it causes burn on. Also, this could be a bit overpowered, as you have Galvan charging up a big-hitter like Sozen, Kassar, or Tristan and causing WTF amounts of damage.

Seems a bit bland, even with the conditions. Plus, Ranged heroes laugh at you and snipe Galvan.

This might have potential, though it seems more like a spell for Victor to me, for some reason. I know this could absolutely demolish condition heros like Exuro or Tornne.

Galvan doesn't absolutely suck, but he isn't your best work, at least in my opinion, Oxy.

He's a bane hero, btw :x

The chain lightning + cond damage is actually a spell of mine, which I used on two other not very succesful hero.

Magnetize may seem bland on its own, perhaps. But you have to look at it with the hero as a whole. Dis's hearburn looks boring on its own, until you realize that it makes him spawn a bunch of elementals with the ult, and removes the CD on his Distruction.

Same here; on its own, it's nothing amazing. But it buffs the chain lightning by a heckload, and gives great potential to the ultimate!

EDIT: Didn't mean to say that my hero's spell or Dis's were boring. I just meant that you couldn't comprehend their use until you looked at it in conjunction with other spells.

Yes, his form of chain lightning is similar to one or two that he has already submitted.
