So it can be bought on lane and used to harass someone or deny their lasthits. Also with your numbers it scales too well and will be used to clear lanes without hero presence. Too good for its worth.

yeah admittedly i snuck some crazy damage potential in there just to see if anyone would visualize what that would look like

Counter offer:
Doohickey doesn't do damage, it has an AoE debuff like firerate slow. Throw it at someone, it runs around and annoys them but is harmless on its own. If you don't follow it in, they can just quickly shoot it to death.

Makes it a "help me win this fight I might not be able to on my own" but only when you actually use it to maintain a skirmish. A bit like the tradeoff of shooting McGinnis turrets vs the hero herself.

Love the idea of some wind-up walker bomb, fits the aesthetic well
