Description

This is my first Hero Concept, so expect the wording to be clunky and the numbers to be off. Apologies.

While I get this will never happen, one of the things I love about Heroes of the Storm is how it combines radically different universes together. I thought it would be really cool if the Avatar universe arrived at the nexus! I plan to do a concept for every Element (I'm thinking Zuko, Toph and Aang as Assassin, Tank and Multiclass respectively).

ANYWAY, AS FOR THE ACTUAL HERO:

Katara is meant to be about managing a limited resource- her water supply (mana). She has only brought a limited amount to the battlefield, and though she can reuse it- almost all of her abilities require it! She has to manage this resource carefully- sort of like Sonya with Fury.

Her main damage comes from Water Blast (how does the damage number look?) which is meant to be a slow moving skillshot (the water is in use in mid air, and also while charging it up- think Chromie!). She can Chi Heal two targets, racking up some great healing numbers- but losing access to her CC- or she can forfeit a different strength. Its a juggling act.

Or at least, thats the intention. I've created this at 2A.M, so maybe the hero just dosen't work. I'd love to hear your feedback, since this was a lot of fun to make but I'm really clueless about game design

Altough the concept is cool, it will never happen.Blizzard will only puts its own franchises in the game it just makes sence that way.The most renovating thing I can see them do is to allow DC superheroes and that only cause they had made a super old game for the super nintendo(I think) based on the justice league.Regardless as a fanmade concept this is really cool great job!

Yea I addressed this in the Description, its totally wishful thinking. Although since Destiny 2 is on Battle Net, we could see some other crazy Activison guys- Crash Bandicoot would be hilarious.

Tho I love the idea of Avatar characters in heroes, I feel like her trait is more of a bad thing than a good one. Maybe buff it a little bit so I don't feel like my trait is something bad

The idea is a bit like Gul'Dan or Auriel. Its not nesscarily a good thing.

Theoretically, the idea is if she had mana she would be overpowered, being able to use all 3 abilities- but because of her limitation, she has to manage it- she can't just place a Chi Heal on everyone!

Maybe the numbers could be tuned up, I'm pretty clueless about number balancing in general
