Yogg-Saron (Completed)

By:
Last Updated:

Yogg-Saron - The God of Death is a specialist / semi-support whom draws resemblance to Abathur with that you don't physically enter combat as Yogg-Saron but will rather focus on pushing lanes, buffing your allies and spawning minions from the Nightmare which will assist on the field of battle.

Yogg-Saron unlike Abathur is completely immovable - as in: he can not walk around by any means and is a stationary unit: yet your Mount (Z) ability allows you to move around and you'r Trait (D) will help you to stay alive while your Mount ability is on cooldown.

In order to make Yogg-Saron feel alive as a hero in terms of that he can't move around and is little seen while in battle: his spawned minions and units will be themed by any skin he switches between and he will have active voice lines that he whispers randomly as the battle goes on to cover that looming presence of the God of Death being present on the battlefield.

Yogg-Saron also stands out with that his HP pool is rather large despite that he works as a immovable Specialist - this is to give a perk to the fact that he can't move but also as a remark on that the God of Death will not die with ease.

Base Stats:

Base Health: 2666 (+4 %)
Health Regen: 5.77 (+4 %)

Energy: 0
Energy regen: 0

Speed: 0

Basic Attack

Yogg-Saron can only basic attack when in melee range, and his attack is simply him using his jaw to bite at a local target.

Base damage: 52 (+4 %)
Attack speed: 1.22
Attack range: 1

Combat Trait

D - Presence of Nightmares

Activate: Spawn 2 Tentacles of Corruption close to enemy minions. The Tentacles will deal damage as long as enemy minions are nearby and they will remain where they are spawned for 30 seconds or until killed.

- If a Tentacle of Corruption lands 4 killing blows to enemy minions before they de-spawn: the tentacle will be upgraded to a Tentacle of Madness.

Tentacles of Madness deals more damage, does area damage when it attacks and lasts for 300 seconds or until killed.

Passive: Yogg-Saron's presence inflicts the minds of those who comes too close to him - Enemy heroes that looks in Yogg-Sarons direction when close enough and having sight on him will start to hear his maddening whispers and will slowly turn insane.

Looking directly at Yogg-Saron for more than 3 seconds will cause the enemy hero to go insane and become mind-controlled for 6 seconds, making them move away from Yogg-Saron while attacking allied units in sight.

- While Mind Controlled, allied heroes of the mind controlled one can attack him / her to break 0.25 second off from the mind control per basic attack landed, yet the mind controlled hero can also die from his allies while in this state.

Yogg-Saron will have a harder time to deal out his maddening whispers the more heroes that comes up to him, for each additional hero that faces Yogg-Saron it will take him 1.5 seconds more per hero to mind control them: effectively making it take 9 seconds for him to mind control 5 heroes at once should they all approach him.

Primary Abilities

Q - Orb of Madness

Spawn a Orb of Madness above the selected Structure, Minion or Hero - this can be used on both Allied and Hostile units.

The Orb will start to fire a Death Ray toward the closest hostile unit it can find, the ray will deal damage for each 0.5 second it remains in contact with the hostile unit and the Ray gains movement speed as time passes.

The Orb Lasts for 8 seconds and if it's placed on a hostile unit and that unit dies or is destroyed - the Orb will immediately relocate to the closest unit it can find.

Cooldown: 12 seconds.

W - Psychotic Blast

Blast the selected area which will deal moderate damage to anyone hit. Should the Blast hit a hostile structure or unit - it will leave a Pool of Madness at it's impact location for 6 seconds.

Pool of Madness will deal damage for each 0.5 second anything remains within it, it will slow minions by 50%, enemy heroes by 25% and it will remove 1 ammunition per second.

Cooldown: 8 Seconds.

E - Spawn: Crusher Tentacle

Spawns a Crusher Tentacle at the targeted location - Yogg-Saron does not need vision to spawn this tentacle.

The Crusher Tentacle lasts permanently and will use 3 abilities while alive:

- Crush: Slams the ground around a local hostile unit, dealing hard damage to the main target and splash damage to anyone close to the main target.

- Flail: The tentacle does a sweep attack and will damage and knock away nearby enemy units.

- Squeeze: Stuns a local target for 1.5 seconds by picking them up, when the stun ends - the target is thrown away from the tentacle.

Orb of Madness can be placed on the crusher tentacle.

The tentacle can separate friend from foe, allies can pass trough the tentacle but hostile units will crash into it.

Cooldown: 10 seconds.
Max 3 Crusher Tentacles can be active at one time. Using this ability a 4'th time when 3 tentacles is up will cause the first one to vanish.

1 - Brain Link

Allows Yogg-Saron to Brain Link two targets together, the effect of the brain link will change pending on how it's used.

Yogg-Saron to Allied unit: Empowers the allied unit, making them deal 25% more damage, attack 25% faster and will cause hostile units they hit with basic attack to be slowed by 15% for 1 second.

Yogg-Saron to Hostile unit: Causes the hostile unit to be affected by Yogg-Saron's Presence of Nightmares for each second the link remains active.

Allied to Allied unit: Chains the two allied units together, making all damage they take while linked to be reduced by 25% and to be shared between the two.

Allied to Hostile unit: 35% of all damage taken by the allied unit will be dealt the hostile one instead.

Hostile to Hostile unit: Increases all damage the two targets take by 15% and increases the cooldown on their abilities by 25%

The link lasts until Yogg-Saron cancels it or it can be broken if the two linked targets moves too far away from each other.

Cooldown: 3 seconds.

Heroic Abilities

R - Summon: Faceless Destroyer

Yogg-Saron will call out a Faceless Destroyer which will spawn from the shadows at the God of Death's command.

The Faceless Destroyer is permanent and must be killed to be stopped.

The Faceless Destroyer carries the presence of Yogg-Saron, allowing Yogg-Saron to use Brain Link with it - which where the Faceless Destroyer will count as Yogg-Saron.

Orb of Madness can be spawned on the Faceless Destroyer.

While the Faceless Destroyer is active, Yogg-Saron can select what target he wants for it to attack but the Destroyer himself will cast 2 abilities when alive.

- Smash: Smashes the ground around the Faceless Destroyer, dealing hard area damage, instantly killing any minions or mercenaries (Not bosses) caught in the smash.
