I've been flirting with this item idea: a high-stakes, single-use nuke that can backfire if avoided correctly. Essentially a ticking time bomb that forces teams to play around its mutually assured destruction. Last Will, as it stands, offers reason for interesting counter-plays which aren't immediately seen in the game; cheat death would gain added utility and could "eat" this projectile, and as such so would any active rejuv buff.

This item also keeps within the theme of the game fairly well, adding a mechanic similar to Necropho's ultimate, with some Dagon like flair. I want it to be a chaotic last ditch effort, and not something that would necessarily be rushed as it'd be a single use/purchase for the entire team. The backfiring of it also draws into a need for support heavy utility, whether that be rescue-beam positioning or Dynamo like I-framing with his Quantum Entanglement. The 4 second passive reveal of the hero carrying the item enables teams to "fake" their location, as well as adding pressure to the next engagement for both sides.

A few other naming ideas:
Death Pact (name already exists in Dota, so I avoided it. Still fitting)
Funeral Hymn
Oblivion
Sinners Bargain

Let me know what you think.
