DESCRIPTION & LORE

Description

The Politician is a strength ranged hero with a kit that walks the line between farming and feeding. Their primary mechanic is the ult, which turns enemy regen against them in the form of pure damage. This makes the rest of the kit, which comprises mostly of buffs that affect both allies and enemies, vary wildly based on the second to second decision making in teamfights or lane engagements.
I've composed two primary builds which can be seen above, that vary not just wildly in itemization, but in the minute to minute gameplay and ability usage from your hero. This hero looks to benefit wildly from extreme specialization, and each of the four abilities can have entire builds centered specifically around one of their mechanics, likely to great effect should you use your spells properly.
This hero will likely be a divisive one in terms of balance, particularly the ultimate and the fact that he is a ranged hero. Let me know what you think of the design, and what I could possibly change while keeping the core design intact. Thanks!

ITEM BUILDS

BUILD #1 - Backline Healer & Disabler

INTENDED ROLES

Support teamplay build that primarily uses Tantalize to buff up allies, and disable enemy heroes. Holy Locket is a must have, amping the healing from Tantalize and the lifesteal from Infatuate. Your taunt is a risky spell to cast without items to bolster your HP pool, and your ult is only so good from a range, so items like Glimmer Cape, Ghost Scepter, and Force Staff should be considered based on matchups to give you the most effective spellcasts without suicide.

SITUATIONALS

BUILD #1 - Right Click Manfighter

INTENDED ROLES

Core manfighting build primarily reliant on access to enemy heroes and maneuverability. Armlet gives great damage and sustain in combination with Usurp and Infatuate, and can be combined with MoM to man up to nearly any hero early game. BKB and Dragon Lance will soon become necessities as enemies gain kiting tools in the mid game, and items like Silver Edge and Overwhelming Blink keep you on top of enemies even longer.
