DOTA IDEAS A DOTA 2 INTERACTIVE FORUM

The idea came to be when I was contemplating heroes with more than 6 spells, and how other iterations of that idea would be possible. The solution I came up with was basically that you'd have 2 units in the same unit. Movement is shared as well health, however they can cast spells, and channel independently. They also have individual mana pools, with all mana gained to be split between each unit. The hero is generally a very aggressive hero, but has some quirks for mindplays which require uttermost delicacy to pull off. In the laning stage, he can harass with the Q and ranged attack, but at the same time he is quite weak in HP and slow. W can remedy some weakness and will prove most useful in 1v1 situations early on. A value point in E in the beginning will prove useful as well. Some matchups will be very difficult and some will be easier. Either the Psychic will, during laning, fill the role as a core or as a support, both are viable. After skilling his ultimate, the game will change drastically. For one, the terrible MS will be remedied a bit by the passive increase but also by the possibility to use Fantasy to move around quicker. When R is skilled it will also be possible to channel Q while moving, which will require a lot of skill to keep up constantly, while still managing the hero, but has a long-term battle advantage. The Reality spell will make sure that the Q keeps damaging enemies. Inhibit might make a play in 1v1 scenarios but will shine in team-fights, and give a quick breather for the team, as well as allowing Q and R to be cast frequently. The active ability of R is a risk taker, as it leaves the Psychic vulnerable to attacks, with only W to defend himself. On the other hand, particularly on earlier levels, it will give a significant Offensive might and when used properly, it will allow the Psychic to contribute significantly to a battle. Overall, the hero is simple in the basic concept, but will be difficult to synergize to full potential.
