Earendel, Envoy of the Outer Abyss

[ennisimo]

Earandel has many tools to disrupt enemy movement and make engagements backfire through the use of gravity and abyssal powers.

Primary Weapon:
-Shoots meteorite
-Either single-shot meteorite slugs, or burst/automatic meteorite shrapnel

1st Ability: Gravity Well
-Hold to charge a gravity orb that shoots out at a speed based on charge time(The longer the charge the faster the projectile)
-Orb has a mild slowing/attracting aura around it
-Lasts around 10 seconds, or a couple seconds after making contact with a surface
-Explodes on contact with any enemy, or expiration
-ability upgrades could be,

1 Point: Increased Damage​

2 Points: +2 Charges​

5 Points: Massive Increase in aura/explosion size​

​

2nd Ability: Glare
-Shoot a blast of malicious energy at an enemy, marking them
-Skillshot, similar to vindictas crow
-Enemy has reduced status resistance
-Enemy leaves a trail that makes them east to track
-ability upgrades could be,

1 Point: reduced cooldown​

2 Points: Increased debuff resist reduction​

5 Points: Large move speed buff on trail/longer duration​

​

3rd Ability: Coerce
-Build up a debuff with your gun, similar to Infernus's afterburn
-When the dubuff is built up, recast ability to pull all enemies affected by the debuff towards Earan and deals damage (consumes debuff)
-If they are in the aura of a gravity well, it pulls them into the center of the gravity well instead (gravity well could stop moving)
-Has a 3 second cooldown between casts
-ability upgrades could be,

1 Point: Increased damage​

2 Points: Steals spirit and gun damage for 10 seconds​

5 Points: No longer consumes debuff when pulled towards a gravity well​

4th Ability: It Stares Back
-After .75-1 second of charging, Earan surrounds himself with an eye drawn out in a constellation
-Any enemy who looks at the eye is teleported to it, taking damage and is slowed
-3-5 second duration
-Maybe limited range?
-ability upgrades could be,

1 Point: Increased damage/reduced cooldown​

2 Points: Disarms enemies pulled in for half the slow duration​

5 Points: Can recast the ability once up to 10 seconds after initial cast, with half charge time and duration​

Thank you for reading! I would love to hear thoughts.
EDIT: Grammar

I get cthulhu-esque vibes from this, very cool. I wished you'd described the auto attack a bit more, I dont think I quite understand understand what its supposed to be like. I really like the ult, reminds me of medusa's in dota (and other games) but unlike dota, its not *turning players who look at you into stones* which is sooooo overdone, only thing I'd change would be making the whole character model + the eye activate the teleportation effect (instead of just the eye), and this is more of a nitpick but as far as I know there's no status resistance stat in this game, and I think thats intentional. Getting ccd in deadlock feels 1000x worst than getting ccd in other mobas, mainly because of the 3 axes of movement you get in DL compared to the usual 2 in (most) mobas. Other than that, Nice work!

Thanks for the feedback! To clarify a few things:
-The gun can be flexible design wise IMO, I think either a single shot slug (like lady gheist) or a rapid fire( like McGinnis) could work with his kit. The single shot would shoot a large chunk of meteor, while the rapid fire would grind a meteor down and shoot out the shrapnel.

-I believe there is a debuff resist item in the game, so I assumed it was a stat that could go into the negatives. But the 2 is the most underdeveloped ability so im not married to the idea of debuff resist reduction.
