Ability Sugestion: Block

[horselance]

Block (F)
Makes your tank invulnerable for the next 0.4 seconds. Uses 25% of your current mana.
Cooldown: 75sec

I thinked this as a standart ability for every tank. I guess this would put the game some more skill using and action. It is not abuseable due to short duration and long cooldown but gives every tank a chance to evade a stun, snare, nuke etc..

If you think this is not a good idea to give every tank a skill-evade, then it can be skill for a new tank.:

Block (Q)

Makes your tank invulnerable for 0.4 seconds. Also your tank takes 25% less damage from weapons and abilities for next 2.4 seconds.
Level 1: 40 seconds Cooldown
Level 2: 35 seconds Cooldown
Level 3: 30 seconds Cooldown
Level 4: 25 seconds Cooldown
Level 5: 20 seconds Cooldown

I like it but it increases really a lot the importance of the lag

[horselance]

:lol: Everything sux with lag anyway.

I don't like it. Makes too many spells useless with no cost. Right now for dodging spells you need to invest money and if you dodge by porter temporary mobility.

[horselance]

Practically it protects weaker tanks from high tier tanks. But needs skill to do that. Its not a Spell Shield which blocks a negative spell every 100sec..

Practically it makes certain tanks totally useless in 1v1 situations when the ping is good. Who wants to play a heavy tank on side lane when he can't stun any more?

FYI: scout initially had a spell block ability which made it kinda imbahock:

:o So Teleporter makes HT totally useless? It has 50 sec cd and teleports you and cost only 3k gold and dont need precise timing to evade an attack.

:wink: We should open a thread for "Remove TP"..

You trade porter cooldown for dodging in addition to the 3k gold. With such a spell you would be able to dodge and still be mobile with porter.

[GooglyBoogly]

it should cost a % of maximum mana (or a set cost)
If you have no mana at all (or even 1), it shouldn't be a 'free' ability

This ability would also make many tanks immune to exploder damage, or be able to clear mines (with a detector) for no damage.

I agree with Prog

[Battlemaniac]

i agree with the rest of the guys, there needs to be a cost associated.

thats why i suggested the reflex shield, which does exactly the same thing, but you need to buy it, and upgrade it to gain additional abilities

I like the concept of having a block... Perhaps instead of becoming invulnerable it could mitigate 50% of the damage for a short duration?

FYI: scout initially had a spell block ability which made it kinda imbahock:

It could also have three imba towers at one times to soak up all the weapon damage... Good times.
