great concept! though i have my own interpretation of her abilities yours really interesting!

i would suggest to make her heroics more different, maybe TYPHOON shouldn't make targets soaked, so its not a just a stronger WHIRLPOOL with larger cd and limited duration (increase its damage or something instead). also it needs to push enemies only every few seconds (~2), so they are not permanently stunned.

The name of her ult in WC3 is Tornado though.

Other than that I like her kit well, although her E seems a bit out of place in my opinion.

PS. I think maybe Whirlpoool could be Tidal Wave and it soaks a large area in a line? Currently Whirlpool and Typhoon are quite similar.

First of all holy **** that model art is amazing.
My only real concern is the soaked bonus of Hydra Acid seems really strong on a just basic ability. I know its a combo and all so its not like itll always be like that, but basically if anyone ever dives on you, they get poked with a dagger and you can basically ignore them for three seconds. Maybe 50% dmg reduction would be a better fit, so you reduce their threat for invading your area but not basically negating the hero.
Especially since you can also just root them since they are soaked.
But honestly awesome concept, i loved Vashj in WC3 so i hope we get to see her in heroes sometime

I think you balanced the hero well but i dont understand some things. Her trait should not last forever maybe 10 sec ? Then R2 Typhoon Thralls earthquake is one of the biggest radius in the game. Getting pulledis a slow + knockback so its way stronger. Should be pheonix range. Falstads Gust size ? This is like 60 % of the screen ? Please make it the size of zaryas Ult and that is does more damage.

maybe it could be a talent to last longer, i wanted her to be a psuedo global with pre-planning because she doesnt have a mount. So say if you placed it top lane sky temple, then walked bot to soak, when the shrine starts you can instantly teleport back up if you didnt place another one somewhere. But by not doing that, you lose out of the benefits of your trait bot lane.

The typon might need to be smaller but id imagine phoenix is too small because it doesnt stop you from walking out of it, its a minor slow (say 30%) that stacks multiplicative with other slows which is unique in that regard.

So normally walking directly away from the typon you would be walking at 70% movement speed, but lets say something slows you by 20% from another source, 100%-20%=80%/30=56% (not 50). If it was too small youd never notice it enough to be impactful. But i think the numbers can defo change

The first ult im on the fence about, i might change it all together and make tornado a storm talent.
