DOTA IDEAS A DOTA 2 INTERACTIVE FORUM

Sandman is a melee agility hero who spreads a miasma that makes nearby enemies fall sleep, even in the heat of battle. His stinger injects a poison that makes enemies more vulnerable to his tricks. But it's not just chemical attacks that his enemies must fear, his deadly claws Flay through flesh, and with great agility he can leap over obstacles and turn invisible.

Art used is from a Warhammer Fiend of Slaanesh.

Small update: There is now a 2 second cooldown before an enemy can build up drowsiness stacks after waking up. But in return the Soporific Miasma radius has been increased, and the sleep duration has also been increased. I've also rescaled the anti-healing on Immunosuppresion from 20/40/60/80 to 30/40/50/60.
Small update: Drowsiness now accumulates at higher rates when leveled up. As a nerf increased the cooldown and reduced the radius a little period to 3 seconds. It just felt weird that it didn't build up faster per level.

Added innate and facets.

Large update: Completely third ability. It used to be an active that deals damage in a cone in front of Sand Man and slowed without interrupting him. It didn't fit the rest of his design. The new flaying claws fits better with Sandman's disable heavy playstyle. But it does reduce his farming speed.
