Kil'rogg Deadeye (v3.7)

Chieftain of the Bleeding Hollow Clan

"Let's see how many fall before I do!"


As with Bleeding Hollow tradition, in a ritual sacrifice Kilrogg gouged one of his own eyes to be granted a vision of his own demise, as did his father before him. However, what he saw was not a hardy group of heroes defeating him in the pits of Hellfire Citadel, no, what he saw was his own demise in a land he did not know. 

After his defeat in Hellfire Citadel, the badly bloodied chief awoke in this strange land, the land known as the Nexus. He did not fear his own death, no. He now yearned for it, and vowed to fight to achieve such a worthy death. 

About

The iteration of Kil'rogg Deadeye here is taken from his appearance from the Hellfire Citadel raid from the Warlords of Draenor expansion in WoW. In that expansion, Kil'rogg only played a strong role in the end, when he joined his clan with Gul'dan and the Burning Legion and allowed for the corruption of Tanaan Jungle. Though he did not survive the events that took place there, this gave players the best look at a ferocious Kil'rogg.

As a melee-assassin, Kil'rogg makes it easy to hunt and track his prey, wherever they may hide. His trait, Eye of Kil'rogg, gives him the foresight that he is infamously known for. If an enemy strikes him and runs, they will not be able to leave his pesky gaze for a bit, especially to those that like to turn invisible. Of course his trait also takes a more active role allowing him to spy on a portion of the map to see what's going on.

In close quarters combat, Kil'rogg has an arsenal of abilities that will make him a deadly threat up close. Heartseeker allows him to engage an enemy so that he can unleash all sorts of punishment, or, alternatively, Heartseeker can be used to chase down a fleeing hero. Death Throes allows Kil'rogg to stay in the fight longer, sustaining him even further if he decides to drag the fight into the lane. Visions of Death will trap your opponents in place, allowing you to finish them off superbly.

His ults are what make Kil'rogg truly shine. Blood Moon Frenzy will allow Kil'rogg to unleash his barbarity upon his prey, completely buffing himself so that he can quickly put an end to whatever threatens him. Nothing to Lose gives Kil'rogg a chance to fight without worry about the future, for he has nothing to lose. He will force his target into a duel against him, silencing both heroes, and giving the winner of a nice blast of health should the loser die.

Skin Ideas

Iron Horde Kil'rogg Skin: Kil'rogg now gains a bit of an armored upgrade, combining his time from the Iron Horde to that with Hellfire Citadel. His weapon would become metal now instead of the bone-like material it previously was. It'd have the marking of the Iron Horde on both sides of it. Kilrogg himself gains a new set of armor, a new chest piece with a Iron-plated skull hanging onto it. He'd gain pauldrons with vents on them, similar to something many would find in Blackrock Foundry, however instead of red flame coming out of them, it would be green flame.

I feel like Heartseeker should be like the version in HFC where he throws a dagger at his target and it deals damage along its path unless it collides with a hero but your version works also because he has a distinct lack of escapes and even less with his Q being changed to a skillshot.
Nice concept overall tho. Thumbs up
