Creator's notes

I didn't ad damage or health numbers because I don't have any way to test this. Any feedback or suggestions are welcomed.
Mengsk recieves Silent Supporters from minions and mercs even when only his Marines are in range. Forts, objectives and takedowns works globally.

I made minor update: Added some ways to get Silent Supporters.

I want this now.

Dude,I read this concept of hero and you know what - I like it. He looks like a real specialist - hero dmg, push, supporting, this talents tree.

I would like to play him on hots.

TY. I would love to play him too.

Looks interesting, but you gotta polish this concept a bit. Almost half of all icons won't load, level 16 talents are missing and level 20 has only one (maybe that is intentional?). Also it says that he is an assassin, yet it is obvious he is a specialist (also written in his description). Finish and work on aesthetics of the concept and it will be great.
The coolest part is the trait no doubt!

Thanks very much for the feedback. The talent tree isn't fully finished yet, but I definitely plan on adding them. As for the icons I see them just fine. And you are right he is specialist, I will fix that ASAP.

Now it looks awesome! Good job. You did justice to this character. If he is ever introduced to HotS, I think his kit would be something like this.
