When using the ability, four linear areas are formed around Rook, the width of each area is 50, the length of each area is 300/400/500/600, the areas are directed exactly up, to the right, to the left and down from Rook. You can only re-cast the ability if there is an enemy hero in one of the areas. When recasting the ability, Rook instantly moves to the nearest enemy hero located in one of the areas. On impact, Rook deals magic damage to the target equal to 15/20/25/30% of Rooks current health (up to 600) and stuns the target for 1/2/3/4 seconds. The maximum delay before re-casting the ability is 5 seconds, the cooldown of the ability starts from the moment the ability is re-cast, enemy heroes cannot see the areas of the ability.

IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Great disabler. Great tank. Great initiator. Great skills mechanics.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

From time immemorial, the favorite game of the Indian gods was chess. There are no wars, no intrigues, no excitement in heaven, and chess is the only entertainment there. Many times Brahma deftly beat Shiva with his rooks, and once, when Brahma killed seven pieces of Shiva with one rook, he howled furiously, grabbed the ill-fated rook and threw it from heaven to earth with all his strength. Thus, the strongest piece from the chessboard of the gods themselves descended onto the earthly battlefield.

Although hard to imagine in game, this is a very creative concept for a hero.
