[Hero] Chrono, the Stabilizer

[apljee23]

My attempt at creating a more Deadlock-compatible hero utilizing some aspects from my favourite Dota 2 heroes - most notably, Faceless Void, Disruptor, and Weaver.

Deadmock did not have any space for the following:

• Reload Time: 2.21s
• 4s Stamina Cooldown

Boons:

• +1.7 Spirit
• +29 Base Health
• +0.14 Base Bullet Damage

Lore notes -

Chrono is an OSIC employee who has been tasked with the arrest of Paradox, particularly due to the temporal instability caused by their rampant mistreatment of time itself. Chrono seeks to use his wish to undo the damage Paradox has caused to the world's timeline.

Some further notes now that I've ruminated on it:

- Time Flux seems a little too strong, specifically the movement slow is definitely unbalanced. It would probably do better as a percent based movement slow or something more negligible (but still noticable when stacked) like 0.5m/s.
- Temporal Rift's T3 upgrade was mistakenly labelled 'Temporal Instability', that's referring to the same ability.
- Backtrack's T2/T3 upgrades are a little underwhelming, but I was hesitant to overtune this ability because I felt like it would be very strong in practice. I would probably increase the cooldown to 110 but give the skill the innate ability to be self-cast; move the existing T3 to T2, and change T3 to "+2s Backtrack Duration" (enemies and allies go further back, dealing more damage and giving a bigger window for heals.) Allowing self-cast for ability points was a weird idea and probably not the right call.
