Hero similar to Robert Johnson, a man who supposedly sold his soul to become better at the blues.

The heroes name could be something like Blues, or just guitarist. He would fit into the games lore perfectly.

His gameplay style would be similar to that of a summoner like class, featuring a new mana like system for the hero, he would start out at 200 mana. This would scale upwards with his level.

Left Click, a guitar that shoots musical notes. The idea for him is to be a close ranged hero so people could hear his music more effectively.

1 - Ability name: Crossroads. This ability inflicts the player models hand, making it red, causing an empowered punch that deals up to 360 damage, similar to an AOE attack. I'm not exactly sure how the upgrades would look on this ability. But I will be updating the thread. Would cost 100 mana.

2 - Ability name: Hellhound on My Trail. Summons a hellhound to fight for you, design would look how majority of hellhound depictions are, it would include its eyes on fire literally, a mark on its cheek, the tip of its tail also on fire. Ability would be best used early game to clear out creep waves, and the jungle spawns, the ability also has its own health-bar that players and npcs can lower, so its very easily counterable. Would cost 75

3 - Ability name: Kind Hearted Woman. Summons a ghostly like woman to take some of the enemies health and brings it to the heal the player, and their teammates. Simple ability, that only works if the enemy is in range. Would work wonders in a teamfight. Would cost 200.

Ultimate - Ability name: Me and the Devil Blues. Summon the Devil to fight for you, at the cost of your own life if you don't get a kill with it. Would be an extremely powerful ultimate due to the high risk that comes with using it. The devil would spend 5 seconds on one person punching the person down and locking them in place (not sure how balanced this would be, as a stunlock), if it doesn't kill that target, the player dies, if it does kill the target it moves onto another target and punches that person down for 5 seconds, and so on and so forth. The idea is for the entire team to focus that target down so that the Devil can remain active in the fight, the ultimate encourages teamwork, and comes with a high risk, high reward element.

This thread will be updated with concepts and retuning.
 
I love the concept of a Blues themed hero, and would love to see it fleshed out a bit more. It would be great to take some stylistic cues from one of the greats such as BB King. Even having a Resonator acoustic guitar or a DOT 335 slung across their back that is used for some abilities. In terms of sound design, you could hire an actual Blues artist and have them kind of croon or sing some of the voice lines, and for the abilities, have guitar licks that make use of the Blues scales.
