I love it. That all sounds awesome and I would love to see this stuff in Heroes. Personally I would enjoy playing a character like this

Sick concept! It's a fresh perspective on a pretty cool hero. Let me just give a bit of criticism.

Toxic Shroud is overpowered. It's a better version of Tyrande's Trait with the armor reduction, given that it's AoE and deals damage, and since none of the heroes want their armor reduced it will just isolate the target. Maybe make it simply reduce armor by a flat 10 as long as they're nearby, since it having a stacking effect would probably fall off if they stepped away for a split second, and it would have a strong but not-so-strong effect so enemies can still have the option of sticking with their buddy if they want to risk the pain.

Kiss of Mephisto is also super broken, and has so much trolling potential. Using it on an ally just out of base would send them home or outright kill them. It can also be cheesed by simply using it as a cheap Ancestral if an enemy is low-health, which defeats the theme of the ability. A better idea would be to make it grant a shield equal to 100% of the hero's missing health, and takedowns reset the shield, but upon expiration they don't keep the health to make it less of a fight-winner.

I love the Trait and Demonic Empowerment, and Haunting Souls is pretty cool too. Spirit Harvest is weird, since Mephisto has never been about the whole Soul collection thing, and tying his only healing to him staying in lane is weird (not to mention he doesn't even have any waveclear to collects souls faster). Maybe just make it work on a regenerating charge system so it can be used at will, which is already an awesome idea I want to use.
