Mahl, The Jungle King

I've always wanted a hero that was made to purely rely on attack speed for damage. Not really any stats, but attack speed. I wanted Alchemist to be that hero, but it's just no really viable. So Mahl's passive basically alleviates for the lack of damage you would get from building items like AC so there's no huge downside to it. Because of the really low base stat gain, I think it would lock ... View more

IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

I've always wanted a hero that was made to purely rely on attack speed for damage. Not really any stats, but attack speed. I wanted Alchemist to be that hero, but it's just no really viable. So Mahl's passive basically alleviates for the lack of damage you would get from building items like AC so there's no huge downside to it. Because of the really low base stat gain, I think it would lock Mahl into playing around stats, attack speed and procs as opposed to damage and crit building. So you'd prefer to have an mkb over a Daedalus

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

Mahl is the self proclaimed king of the Yama Raskav Jungle. He is a tyrannical ruler who rules through fear and oppression. He knows not many in the jungle could oppose him, though there is a small rebellion starting to form, lead by Kreg, the jungle's champion. The two are sworn enemies. Kreg's presence has cause Mahl to become quite paranoid. Lashing out on any of those he thinks will oppose him.
