Changelog:

02/11 - changed the duration for clones, as well as the total duration for the vortex
04/11 - changed the ult slightly

#1. Draining HP and mana should be static values, not % based. The mana cost should be greater than 100 at level.

#2. Slow at 1, might be weak. The CD should go down as the spell is leveled, while the mana cost at the higher levels is ridiculous.

#3. List fade time, the time it takes for units to become invisible, when this spell is cast.

#4. Undying's Tombstone only 100 times more OP.

1/Like chemist said, rescale the % + Specify if its lethal + Specify if it's keep draining if Zetsu max hp/mana. There's not really much synergy with other skills. A tank shoulda have this kinda skill, not support.

2/Nothing to say, all good

3/Giving 6sec invisibility + 25% MS to all heroes in a 14cd skill bit op. Make Cd bit longer and lower more the MS bonus like 10% or not MS at all ^^
+ Specify if Heroes will be 'uncloaked" if they go outta 600 AOE while moving.

4/Why not? though seems its a copied dota spell? The idea is good

First of all you're able to control the spawned units, something you can't with Undying's zombies, which is part of what makes the spell balanced in Dota. With his build you could control all the summoned units and have them hit someone over and over, continously stunning them and the spawned units' damage scales with Zetsu's.

1. replaced % with numbers

2. rescaled MS reduction and cooldown

3. mentioned fade time

4. reduced mini stun to 0.10 sec per strike



Godscream

1. The skill is mainly for support purposes, and it kinda works well with his 1st and ult

2. support as well

3. support

4. ye the idea is a bit copied from dota HOWEVER ive replaced quite a lot of things here.

To be able to control units is partly what makes this skill different from Dota's concept, it is true that at first glance the idea of having a mini stun considering the number of clones might be a bit OP, but dont forget you can kill those clones with just 1 strike, alternatevely i can go as far as remove the spell immunity, which would make this spell quite useful in terms of pushing for example

ps ive reduced the mini stun duration (0.10 is almost nothing you can easily kill the clones with auto attacks)

An ulti like that is hard to predict if effects will be op ingame. For me, it's quite simple to counter this ulti if you have many agi heroes. or if you focus vortex A stun effect of 0.1 is very low.

For me, it's easy to counter this since vortex has low hp.

It's not hard to predict. It's going to be like Undying's, which is incredibly powerful if you're able to prevent the object from being destroyed, because you use can the spawned units to do things like stop a unit from channeling a spell or TPing.

Additionally, the fact that the clones die in one hit, yet spawn only once every 2 seconds makes the spell terrible if your opponents have a hero that possess clones and/or go for item builds that use Manta.

I'm still gonna suggest the following changes to the ultimate:

• Clones may not attack buildings.
  
• Make X clones spawn per second, not dependent on the number of units in the area.
  
• Remove the scaling component of the clone's damage, make it a set number. The purpose of Zetsu is to support, not carry.
  
• Clones die in 2 / 3 / 4 attacks, keep spell immunity.
  
• Clones apply a debuff to units when hit giving the affected unit a Y% chance to be mini-stunned when hit for Z seconds.

Applied the changes, although feel a bit dodgy about the numbers, is it ok as it is now?
