Pawn - Tiny From Dota 2, But a Chess Piece

Pawn - A hero that becomes different chess pieces over the course of the match


The Dota hero "Tiny" has a gimmick where he grows as you upgrade his ultimate.

Pawn would be a chess piece that increases in rank over the match.
You start as a Pawn, you end as a King / Queen.


Rank increases might come from

• Reaching soul thresholds
• Upgrading your ultimate
• Killing unique enemy heroes
• Taking towers
• Something else?

Pawn's Abilities would revolve around chess, gaining additional attributes based on rank.
I haven't thought of much more, but i'd love to hear people's thoughts on this concept.

But what would they do?

chess things; maybe a dash with different qualities to match the piece's rank. I.E. a pawn rank would have a short dash, but queen rank could dash much further and do more damage.

In the moba BR Eternal Return there's a chess character Adele who looks really cool and complex. I never got into the game, but it's a veyr interesting concept.
