Harth Stonebrew

The Innkeeper

Strengths
Strong Pushing Power
Basic attacks can be monstrous (if built for it)
High Spell Damage, high healing (at certain times

Weaknesses
No CC outside of Leeroy at 20
Lack of escapes
Teamfighting usefulness depends on current abilities

Harth is meant to be a hero whose main power is inside a lane- either by dealing massive damage auto-attacks and overwhelming enemies in lane with well timed abilities, or demolishing forts with monstrous amounts of minions. However, his usefulness in team fights is very limited, as most of his minions do little damage, and all his abilities are at the whim of his "card cycle", meaning you can end up with incredibly useless abilties if they are timed poorly, such as walking into a 5v5 with Elemental Destruction and Blessing of Kings ready whilst Card Pack! and Next Turn! are on cooldown.
I tried to weave in Hearthstone cards and other references into his talents (such as the quests at level 1) as best as possible, trying to fit their abilities in HOTS with what they do in Hearthstone.

HEALTH- 1,856 [+4%/lvl]
HEALTH REGEN- 4.5/sec [+4%/lvl]
