Aghanim's Scepter Idea

[Space Pig]

I'm sure there are a bunch of threads for this but here's an idea for an Aghanim's Scepter upgrade for every hero some of which will be very controversial I expect

  • Leaping Slash does not end Ava transformation
• Celeste
  • Radiant Daggers also increases barrier effectiveness
• Doorman
  • Doorways now go through The Baroness while there is a guest
    • They are positioned perpendicularly to the hallway near the elevator
    • Heroes are instantly transmitted through and can not enter The Baroness
    • Projectiles and abilities may enter The Baroness
• Drifter
  • Eternal Night is now global and has no max targets but reduced vision scales with proximity to Drifter

  • May cast Quantum Entanglement while channeling Singularity
    • Pauses channel duration and transports all enemies currently affected by Singularity, then resumes channeling upon reaching it's destination
• Graves
  • Ghouls now spawn with two Deadhead companions that follow them until they target an enemy
• Grey Talon
  • Spirit Snare also has a vacuum effect like Vortex Web

  • Bullet Dance now throws a Sleep Dagger at all enemies in range upon cast
• Holiday
  • Powder Keg also triggers Crackshot damage and effect if it's shot while Crackshot is off cool down
    • Crackshot goes on cooldown
• Infernus
  • Flame Dash and Concussive Combustion also contribute to Afterburn build up on targets
    • does not extend duration of active Afterburn effects
• Ivy
  • Entangling Thorns applies Kudzu Connection to any allies within it's AOE
    • Connects allies that are in the AOE, not necessarily to Ivy herself
    • Kudzu Connection is lost and gain when leaving and re-entering the AOE
• Kelvin
  • Arctic Beam now benefits from gun items at half value
    • Does not do gun damage
    • Procs effects like Tesla Bullets have half chance but still do full procs
    • build up effects themselves are not reduced but the build up rate is slower

• Lash
  • Ground Strike now has a 360 degree radius
• McGinnis
  • Enemies in Heavy Barrage's AOE are also targeted by turrets at infinite range

@Yoshi Some good ideas here if you ask me

 

[A Name]

Reminds me of birthright from Isaac, seems interesting. Some upgrades are massively overturned compared to others though, especially for 3200. Vyper and victor are sound barely useful, while shiv and haze are downright evil. I also don't like doorman's because it sound clunky and potentially frustrating to use.

 

[Space Pig]

Cost changed 6400 souls

Enhanced version for street brawl, counts as tier 3 item of each category

Came up with more interesting ideas for a few heroes

Celeste

• Radiant Daggers also increases barrier effectiveness

Changed to
Radiant Daggers also increases barrier effectiveness, and you have increased aerial mobility with an active barrier

Billy

• Rising Ram now also deals light melee damage

Changed to
Rising Ram now does heavy melee damage and is affected by heavy melee travel distance, Melee attacks now return projectiles to sender

Shiv

• Taking damage also fills rage

Changed to
Bloodletting can be alt cast at max rage, spends all rage and defers all debuffs for 5 seconds during which no damage is deferred, after that time all debuffs apply at the same time, (e.g. if two heroes both stun you for 5 seconds each after deferring you are stunned for 10 seconds)

It's actually based on the Dota 2 item Aghanim's Scepter but it's basically the same as birthright

Some upgrades are absolutely cracked I agree and would be fine with it being a tier 4 item, the ones that are under tuned are ones that were more placeholder than anything, but also they aren't all meant to be good per se, they are meant to be interesting and open up janky alternative playstyles to a degree. Also I love my Vyper idea lmao

the Doorman one is actually really easy to use, just open two doorways, then when they get close to the exit scoop them with the cart to prevent them from checking out, or do some combo shenanigans by having Grey Talon send his bird in and stun the opponent lol, it's meant to require some more effort though since Doorman is a high skill ceiling hero and this amplifies that

Also check out those new abilities I came up with hehe

 

[Space Pig]

Sinclair

• Spectral Assistant now also casts Copied Ultimate abilities at reduced effectiveness

Alternative idea if this is too cracked lol

Audience Participation can target allies

I like the thought of opening up new options, and a lot of them are definitely silly in a fun way. I think this would low-key be a great legendary in street brawl; it's hard for me to visualise it in a balanced way for the main gamemode probably because I haven't touched dota lmao. Still very cool and something i'd love to see in the game one way or another.

I like the thought of billy reflecting projectiles with his melee, that's sick.

Yeah it's very much balanced in Dota however some heroes almost never buy it while for some it's purchased nearly every game

glad you like some of the ideas!
