Is a pritty good hero over all the lightning orb is extreamly powerful and the heist ability is great for a normal game so i give it a 4/5 :P
I liked the heist and thors hammer ability.. BUT, the heist works against friendly units! In this case there is no buildings but if there where buildings on a map with that ability the hero could damage his building and earn 20 gold.. then the peasant or something could repair it for lesser than 20 gold.. that is cheat! and the orb is to good! The hero was unbalanced! BUT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA! :D
why not make the hammer come back 2 him? its THOR'S hammer and THOR'S hammer is like a boomerang ( if this has allready been said in that big flokk of text then forget this)
This won? The Travel Underground ability doesn't even work right. You can go across any terrian and even underwater, and if you come up for air when in the water your hero will be trapped. The orb is overpowered. Heist and Thors hammer are good abilities, but there were a few heroes that were alot better than this. Frankly I don't understand why it won.
O_o i should try to make the hero the hero bigger ? ok lets assume you meant: "try to make the hero bigger" u mean like model size ??? first: its a dwarf its supposed to be little second: hero contest is over i won and i wont change shit on that hero
Try to make the hero the hero bigger
Congrats on your win :D
Congrats on teh win!
Congratulations on your win, ziNv! I appreciate how you made a cohesive set of skills based around a specific theme.
hmm, its almost as if they judged according to the rating they got. which is pretty unfair because some people rate a 5 on their own stuff, and then there are also some people who rate everyone else's stuff a one to make their stuff seem significant. i mean, we all KNOW for a fact that some people do that.
what the crap this won?
Bleh, that's somewhat boring... Even without imported stuff, there must be some better hero than that? :o
no imported stuff allowed for hero making contest :/
I'd love to see the mountainking exchange his weapons with a pick or a shovel and burrowing underground with that when using travel underground! ^^
could anyone tell me what he thinks of the balance now that i nerfed it ? PLZ ? :?
hehehe. Thanks. :) :)
i sent it to you, but i was sure i got it from this page O_o i think all the ttor models were removed
Hey send Dota - Last War, spell plz. Ahh plz send me model of "scorpion skeleton" [email protected].
hehehehe i love scorpions
Grannor Stonebeard - Odin's Legacy

Thor's Hammer (Hotkey: E)

mana cost : 100
cooldown: 15s
AOE : 250

lvl 1 : 80 damage in the target area
lvl 2 : 135 damage in the target area
lvl 3 : 180 damage in the target area

Travel Underground (Hotkey: R)

mana cost : 90
cooldown: 30s
Duration: 10s

lvl 1 : surfacing deals 50 damage and 2 seconds stun
lvl 2 : surfacing deals 75 damage and 2 seconds stun
lvl 3 : surfacing deals 100 damage and 2 seconds stun

Heist (passive)

lvl 1: 20% chance to steal 10 gold on an attack
lvl 2: 20% chance to steal 15 gold on an attack
lvl 3: 20% chance to steal 20 gold on an attack

Orb of Lightning -ultimate- (Hotkey: W)

Mana cost: 175
Duration: 20s

1 lightning every 0.3 seconds, each one deals 45 damage. Impact at the end deals 150 damage to all nearby units

here you go folks


first : the actual damage of orb of lightning is 5000 + the impact at the end, starfall deals 1000 damage per unit, but not that fast... decreases damage of lightnings to 45 and the explosion damage to 150, that makes 3000 (in total) + 150 (impact) - mana cost is down to 175, now is appropriate for str hero (e.g :avatar 150). second is travel underground, considering that windwalk has 5 secs cooldown and 20/40/60 duration but can be detected, I put the duration to 10 seconds and the cooldown to 30s, remember that he has 225 mana at beginning, he can use it 3 times max.
i will submit a new screenshot an a talbe with the spell stats soon
skills is not bad :evil: but ... ++ :evil:
He's WAY too powerfull I think. I agree with the one beneath me. And you should make the hole spell that the dwarf can only be beneath the ground for, say.... 3 seconds or something and then it should be good.
And Orb of Lightning.... YOU CAN KILL A WHOLE ARMY OF LICH KINGS AND RED DRAGONS WITH THAT!!!!!!!!! Make the duration 10 seconds and make the attack 20 damage and the explosion 100 damage
BTW, next time, don't make a screenshot like that. That way you can only see the spells on level 1 and that's irritating. Right all the values down in a comment or something pleasë:D
Nice thoughts.... I liked the "Heist" abillity and "Thor's Hammer" the best - I think the Orb of Lightning is out of place, considering its a Strength based hero (and btw, at lvl 10 it still drains more than half of the mana reserves OO;) AND I was able to kill all the Ogres at the top middle (next to the warerfall) and the Dragons camp AND the Golem camp with this spell only (and those are magic immunity... you might wanna do some additional conditions triggers), and still have half Hp... It is a bit overpowered (try using it when only 1 unit is near) + he don't do any animations while channeling the spell - fix those and give it to a warlock, lol, the idea is cool :D

also, "Underground" should have a longer cooldown, nevertheless longer then the actual duration, so you can't eternally lie beneath the dirt... And I actually don't like the spell that much - u should base it on blink or something, then do some special effect triggers that marks the path of travel or sumtin, but lurking beneath ground and going as you please in such a large scale, only to pop up and stun over and over - that is too powerfull (+annoying to play against, since you can't dispel it, and thier is no counter against it)


Thor's Hammer is great, nothing to pin out, xcept maybe that it should slow targets for 1.5 - 2.5 seconds - that would sing, and make it a good spell for escaping as well as an offensive when launching ranged rushs, giving an edge in game

But overall, this is pretty good, not too flashy, and not too boring, 3.5/5 and that rounds up to 4/5

EDIT: btw. I think she mean the Hero... Dwarven Warrior is not very original, lol
O_o? what needs a better name ???? the map ? the hero ?
p.s. : thx ^^

edit : i fixed the tooltip of "orb of lightning" and made it that Grannor gets selected upon map initialisation (so u dont have to search for him ^^)
Ah...... nice work, but needs a more original name in my opinion, but you don't need to.
oops thx for tip, *startingw3e*
Fun Hero, I realy like the travel underground spell. Orb of lightning needs it tooltip fixed (says Warlock instead of Dwarvin Warrior) and doesn't realy fit with the hole Dwarvin theme. But still good job.
plz comment O_o'
i was thinking : mountain king - dwarf - mountain - rocks - digging - mining - hole .... things like that and then i came up with this spell ^^
Where did you get the idea of a Mountain King burrowing in the ground?
here it is : Grannor stone beard on his quest to catch a fish ^^
at the left bottom corner are some pendaren with no attack/movement and 2000 hp, its easiest to test the spells there but you can also roam around and try the spells on the creeps standing around
