Nortrom, the Silencer (REWORK)

https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Silencer Can silence all enemies on the map. Two hundred years of selective breeding had produced Nortrom, the prophesied war-mage that would bring glory to the order of Aeol Drias. Therefore, disgust and disappointment followed when it was found that the boy could cast not even a hex. Yet, on the day of final testing, Nortrom would have the Last Word. His arranged opponents fell under an Arcane Curse, draining their health and prolonging the curse with each incantation made. Then, there was Global Silence. Not a gasp or whisper escaped their lips as Nortrom cut his challengers to ribbons with his multi-pronged Glaives, stealing their intelligence to add to his own. At that moment, it became clear to all watching — The absence of magic can be the greatest magic of all. Update 1.1 5/11/2024 Reshuffled abilities to match base hero ability layout. Deprecated Disquiet Innate Passive to be part of reworked Glaives of Wisdom. Glaives of Wisdom: OLD Silencer enchants his glaives with his wisdom before every attack, dealing magical damage after the enchantment expires based on his Intelligence. Enchantment expires instantly on Silenced enemies and it bounces to all enemies in 500 range. ENCHANTMENT TIMER 1 INTELLIGENCE AS DAMAGE 60/75/90/105% NEW Silencer enchants his glaives with his wisdom before every attack, causing the attack to apply a debuff that deals damage based on his Intelligence after a short delay and steals Intelligence for a longer duration. The damage increases for each point of Intelligence stolen. Silencer permanently steals 2 Intelligence from Enemy Heroes that die with the debuff. DELAY 1.2 INTELLIGENCE AS DAMAGE 60/75/90/105% INT STOLEN 1/2/3/4 INT STEAL DURATION 20/25/30/35 DAMAGE PER INT STOLEN 5/6/7/8% SILENCER INT Update 1.2 5/12/2024 Int Steal moved from Glaives to Curse of the Silent. NEW GLAIVES Silencer enchants his glaives with his wisdom before every attack, causing the attack to apply a debuff that deals damage based on his Intelligence after a short delay and bounces to enemies. No bounce limit on Silenced enemies and can bounce to Silenced enemies multiple times. DELAY 1.2 INTELLIGENCE AS DAMAGE 60/75/90/105% BOUNCE LIMIT 2/3/4/5 BOUNCE RANGE ATTACK RANGE X 2 NEW CURSE OF THE SILENT DPS PER STACK from 10/14/18/22 to 12/16/20/24 Ulti Scepter put into the Talents instead 25 Talent +40% Glaives Int as Damage to Global Silence multiplies Spell Damage affected enemies take by 2x 20 Talent Global Silence Constantly Dispelled Silencer replaced with Global Silence is Re-Applied on Dispel Curses enemies in a target area, granting True Sight on them, and applying a stack of damage over time each second. Damage over time stacks are reset when the enemy casts a spell. Base debuff does not tick down on Silenced enemies, and a penalty duration is applied to it when Allies cast spells near affected enemies. Every time Curse of the Silent DPS Stacks tick for damage, Silencer steals 1 Intelligence for 20 seconds. If the enemy dies during Curse of the Silent he steals 2 Intelligence permanently. New Scepter Global Silence amplifies Spell Damage enemies take from Silencer by 1.8x the difference between Silencer and his enemy's intelligence. Update 1.3 5/20/2024 Q - Curse of the Silent Now gets dispelled when the enemy casts a Spell.

On allies it gives 55% increased move speed rather than slow. Enemy heroes in 500 AOE of the target will be Silenced for 3 seconds whenever they cast a spell during the enchantment. NEW Last Word has 2 Charges and can target allies to give 55% Move and Cast Speed instead of Slowing. During either enemy or ally enchantment, enemies that cast spells in the Damage AOE get Silenced 2 seconds.

Optimized item & skill guides for Nortrom, the Silencer (REWORK).

Nuker Build

offlaner
This new Silencer specializes in setting up huge nukes over the course of a fight, and leans much more into the combo that Last Word and Curse of the Silent have. Arcane Curse, now back to being called Curse of the Silent, gives him reliable True Sight to complement Last Word's vision and the slow from Arcane Curse has been moved to Last Word. All of these changes make him able to bait out and kill Invisible heroes very easily. With a delay on his Glaives, he wants to cast his spells first then lay attacks over their duration on enemies to boost their damage. With his new Scepter, enemies that dispel Global Silence will instead suffer it for up to double the duration. His new Shard lets him use the new Last Word as a defensive buff for allied casters and brings back his infamous Last Word Aura for a short time to silence enemies when they cast spells.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

Part of the seventh and final generation of a carefully designed pedigree, Nortrom was bred by the ancient order of the Aeol Drias to be the greatest magic user the world had ever seen. He was the prophesied one, the culmination of two-hundred years of careful pairings, a war-mage who would bring glory to the order, and destruction to their sworn enemies, The Knights of the Fold. Raised with other young mages in a hidden cantonment among the hills of the Hazhadal Barrens, the order's preceptors waited for Nortrom's abilities to manifest. While the other students honed their talents with fire, or ice, or incantatory spells, Nortrom sat silent and talentless, unable to cast so much as a hex. As the day of final testing approached, he still hadn't found his magic. In disgust, the preceptors berated him, while the children laughed. "You are no mage," the head of the order declared. Still, Nortrom did not slink away. He entered the day of testing and faced down the young mages who had mocked him. And then his preceptors learned a valuable lesson: a lack of magic can be the greatest magic of all. Nortrom silenced the young mages one by one and defeated them in single combat, until he alone stood as champion of the Aeol Drias, in fulfillment of the prophecy.
