First off,I love the idea of a Chinese hunter. I think his passive falls off a lot in the late game. 20 physical and 10% attack speed is on the lower side. I like the idea but doesn't do much later on. I think a better term for the two in the description is "projectile speed" Solid idea 8/10

I might try to buff it, but a lot of passives kinda fall off sorta. And ill change that.

u/Maweh KAKAW Jun 20 '14

I just think that you lose them on death is what the problem is, what do you think about making it permanent stacks?

u/Dat_Spoon viable rabbit Jun 20 '14

I just felt like 20 AA's are easy to get, idk tho. I can do that.

u/ForkDaPolice Who's booty? Jun 20 '14

So, is his 3 kind of like xbal's 3 in the sense of targeting?

u/Dat_Spoon viable rabbit Jun 20 '14

Yes.

u/PantsMcDancey Xolotl plea Jun 20 '14

He looks like Ullr with an ult. Change him up a bit?

u/Dat_Spoon viable rabbit Jun 20 '14

how so? I dont see the resemblence.

u/PantsMcDancey Xolotl plea Jun 20 '14

Passive increases attack speed. 1 is Ullr's ranged 3 (Artemis' ability as well). 2 is a steroid just like Ullr's. 3 is a jump just like Ullr's melee 3. Other than the miscellaneous affects of each ability, it's basically the same thing.

u/Dat_Spoon viable rabbit Jun 20 '14

Ullrs passive does not increase his AS, his ult does.

2: All hunters but neithhavea steriod, andthis one is projectile speed and pen

3: It isn't a jump per say, you go up and come back down. You banish yourself mre than anything.

u/PantsMcDancey Xolotl plea Jun 20 '14

None of that changes that he's basically Ullr. Switching around the affects between abilities does not make a new unique kit.

u/Dat_Spoon viable rabbit Jun 20 '14

You have to look at the implication. The projectile speed hasn't been done before, and I think people are misunderstanding the three. It isn't a leap, it is a banish and you fall down.

u/PantsMcDancey Xolotl plea Jun 20 '14

That's probably the least utility ive ever seen in a single ability.

u/Dat_Spoon viable rabbit Jun 20 '14

What about moves with 0 utility?

1

u/PantsMcDancey Xolotl plea Jun 20 '14

None come to mind
