Hero Concept - Herbert D. Clown (Close-Range Half Support)

[apostrophexx]

Lore: Everyone knows Herbert! 20 years back, he was on top, the number one kid's entertainer. Now he's at rock bottom.

He pawned the last of his belongings for a good hoagie and a train ticket to New York- betting it all on a wish to make it back.


Other notes:
-His name is a take on In Living Color classic, Homie D. Clown, of course.

-General aesthetic would be your classic hobo clown, smoking a cigar. Whacky would take from Howdy Doody and Punch (of Punch and Judy)

-I'm sure the numbers wouldn't quite work in practice, they're just there to give a general idea of what would be going on.

-Heavy melee charge has him pull out a pie to slam the enemy's face in with.


Would love feedback or opinions!

Updated version based on feedback from the deadlock discord.

I feel the ultimate should deal more damage to justify it being an ultimate, imo

Fair. I'm sure the actual numbers are way out of wack, I just wanted to get across the concept of the ult.

This is awesome concept! Does the balloon pops from any first damage?

That was another thing I was halfway on deciding- making it enemies & only would have parity with Healing Rite, but if it also triggered on creeps & neutrals, it'd have more utility on helping clear.

Also, thank you for the kind words!

I just think that it would be hard to use balloon, cause it instabreak from any damage. I can see it as both offensive and defensive (escape) ability. Maybe it should grant the user a barrier, which will explode the balloon upon destroying? It would be useful to get close to the enemies or escape from them.
