Stealbane (Tier III Upgrade to Healbane)

[ziz4030]

New Active - Place a Barrier on yourself that deals Spirit Damage to enemies that damage it. Healbane Debuff is amplified while it holds to further increase Healing you get from killing Debuffed Enemy Heroes and Debuffed Enemy Heroes take Spirit Damage instead of Healing if they would Lifesteal off Damage dealt to you.

i feel this item concept does far too much at once, while also adding parts to healbane that dont really make sense

what part of healbane relates to it gaining an active ability barrier that acts as better return fire?

it's more of a lifesteal counter idea ive been toying with to turn enemy lifesteal into self damage

You already have items like Crippling and Healbane itself that counter and shut down lifesteal.

maybe like this:

stealbane
passive - healbane passive and further reduces healing below 40% hp and builds up with healing the enemy loses to add bonus spirit damage to active.
active - pop any healbane instances from you that are active on visible enemies to reduce their max health. (ie; old twitch from lol)

characters with a lot of healing will get marked for damage after losing max health as a follow up to your spirit damage.

I think that at the current state of the game healing reduction feels pretty good. It is a simple, yet powerful type of restriction. Any other additions, whether it's health manipulation or lifesteal redirection, are more likely to harm the gameplay than improve it.
