(Squad A-4671 does not play similarly to the Lost Vikings, as they stick together. It consists of 2 marines, one marauder, and a firebat.. They are a single unit.)

Squad A-4671 focuses on rapidly buffing allies through cool down reduction and tactical buffs to help push in minion waves and provide that extra edge in team fights.

@Huitzil I appreciate the constructive criticism, and I will most definietly implement some of your reccomendations into my concept. This was one of my first concepts, so mistakes were bound to happen, so I appreciate you pointing those out. :)~Panda
Excluding minions? Why? I think these guys would be much more interesting if they didn't. Right now, they have no hook -- they aren't really characters, they don't do anything interesting with the fact that there's multiples of them. We already have 2 Heroes that are Marines, and one that's a Medic. Their Trait that rewards them for being close to other Heroes doesn't make a whole lot of sense and their abilities are just damage shots.
But if they do get rewarded for being near minions, then they are on to something. What if this hero isn't just "a squad of minor Terran units"; what if it's the start of a bioball, and they get the tools to make a bigger bioball and rewarded for building it up? Give them some way to add lane minions to their unit and order said minions around with them, and build around that, and now you've got a completely unique and interesting idea.
