Hey y'all! I'm not gonna be including specifics on this design today. I just want to get these ideas out there. One artistic note: her cauldron is supposed to have a green liquid, and all of her abilities should reflect this, but I don't get the color green on my Remarkable 2.

This design was inspired by SWEG彼女's Cat Lady Witch.

Missy! The witch extraordinaire! She does it all (but mostly brews potions in her cauldron)! Best of all–she turns into a cat! A black cat! (How unlucky ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ) Missy is a versatile support with a bit of a wild side ≽^-⩊-^≼. While her abilities are very discerning, favoring her allies and disfavoring her enemies, she can’t refuse a good dance party every once in a while, and makes everyone else join in!

Story: While she’s not stepping on broken mirrors and walking underneath ladders, you can find Missy practicing her black magic. She’s a whimsical and benevolent witch who has admired the haunting effects of The Mist, and considers herself somewhat of a scientist in the study of it. Her greatest ambition in life is to get to know every single person who has ever lived. Everyone says that it’s impossible, but she’s gotten to know at least a thousand and a half people so far (some of them dead), and she isn’t dead yet, so who’s to say that it’ll never get done? People say that she should find someone to settle down with, and she has her own thoughts on that matter, but it gets pretty tiring hearing what other people think she should do with her love life.
Sometimes things get pretty heated in the world, and Missy doesn’t like to fight, and though she doesn’t verbalize it well, she has a very principled perspective and takes action in the universal conflict. While you can expect to find her slinging potions and mist bolts in the battle against the forces of death, know that she really wants to be where the party is at.

Gun
: It’s a magic wand, actually. Holding Mouse2 charges up bolts that are released rapidly when Mouse1 is pressed. Mouse1 otherwise releases a steady stream of witch bolts. Store up to 10 attacks over 10 seconds, scaling with fire rate.

Mist Bolt: Sling a misty bolt straight towards your cursor, damaging enemies it passes through and stopping at the first enemy hero that it touches. That hero becomes Marked by Mist for the next 6 seconds, summoning a Mist Monster every 2 seconds that chases them down, attacking them with melee strikes. Each Mist Monster lasts for 4 seconds. Deals 200% bonus damage to neutral monsters.
There are five different types of Mist Monsters: Bear, Giant Chicken, Werewolf, Bull, Ghast. Bears are slow but tanky, Giant Chickens are fast but fragile, Werewolves are average all around, Bulls are fast and tanky and strong but have a slow attack speed (and only move when their attack is ready), and Ghasts are slow but have a ranged attack.

[Rank 1] Reduce Cooldown.
[Rank 2] Gain two charges.
[Rank 3] Increase duration by 4 seconds.

Oopsies!: Missy spills out her cauldron in a very large rounded cone in the area in front of her, damaging all enemies and healing all allies affected, leaving behind a slurry of green potion on the ground that slows allies and enemies moving through it by 33%, silencing their movement-based items and abilities and slowing their dash and jump speed by 50%.

[Rank 1] Remove slowing effect on allies.
[Rank 2] Remove silence effect on allies.
[Rank 3] Allies in the slurry now gain 33% movement speed and cooldown speed reduction.

Mysterious Potion: Missy tosses a potion that settles on the ground and remains there for an infinite duration, which can be picked up by enemies or allies, damaging or healing them respectively. Missy can have a total of 10 potions placed on the map at any given time.

[Rank 1] When an enemy picks up a potion, reduce the cooldown of Mysterious Potion by 15 seconds.
[Rank 2] Missy’s potions increase in potency over 10 seconds, up to a +100% effect.
[Rank 3] Potions now explode in an area when they’re picked up, applying their effects to both enemies and allies.

Party Time!: Missy activates one of five magical effects:
1) She transforms into a flying cat with the zoomies, ᓚᘏᗢ
2) She summons an angry rain cloud above every enemy’s head in a large area around her, which follows them for 10 seconds, striking at them with lightning periodically,
3) She releases a ton of souls from her cauldron over 3 seconds, half of which expire to Missy,
4) She starts a chain Star that rapidly bounces between allied heroes, healing them for a small amount, until there are no targets left to bounce to,
5) She causes all units in a medium area around her to stop what they’re doing and dance for the next 3 seconds.

[Rank 1] Missy activates two total magical effects on cast.
[Rank 2] Missy activates three total magical effects on cast.
[Rank 3] Missy activates four total magical effects on cast.

Dont get me wrong, I like the idea of a witch character, but I feel like Missy is still too generic and lacks more defining features. For example, what if she was like a cat-woman or had feline features? You could also add some real world bits to put into the lore, like she being an aristocrat or a politician or a business woman. A congresswoman representative for New York? Head of the Witch Institute? There's a lot of options

She's autistic, bro. ᓚ₍ ^. ༝ .^₎
 
That alone, does not make up for lore, but alright.
This probably isn't what you had in mind, but your feedback inspired this idea nevertheless and it's turning out to be one of my most popular ideas! I came up with Bojo the Clown and think his kit is pretty cool.

In Missy's backstory I mention that she studies The Mist, which doesn't have any present-game lore right now, but it is a part of a bigger project that I have in mind for the future. That could be a deeper tie in for her lore.
