The main idea I have is a hero whose ultimate spawns a clone that you control while your main body is left behind, like Grey Talon ult does currently.
Your clone has buffs over the main hero and has a limited range they can move away from the main body. They share the same health bar, and almost everything effects both such as stuns. This makes it so the clone is powerful but not a free life. If you don't like the micro idea but do like this play via phantom, this hero would still be awesome. Getting range early to gank other lanes with your clone would be cool. The synergy of building range for clone and things like Torment Pulse and Scourge, just super cool.
MICRO
After summoning clone, holding ult key will end dream walk and the clone disappears (potentially saving your life). Either base or on an upgrade, tapping ult will switch back to your main body and pause the clone, giving it much higher defense while uncontrolled. Switching back to the clone puts the same defense on the main body, creating a small mind game of which target the enemy needs to look at and one man sandwich potential.
If you want to go all Lone Druid with it, you could make the clone have a shotgun while the main hero has more of a vindicta type gun.
I'm sure you guys have already considered many dota-into-deadlock hero ideas but I would really love to see micro in this way that remains digestible.
