DOTA IDEAS A DOTA 2 INTERACTIVE FORUM

Snafu is meant to be a sort of replacement for the unique mining playstyle that pre-7.31 Techies provided, but without the ability to make a game last forever. Spring Traps are her bread and butter, allowing her to disrupt enemy positioning or catch fleeing heroes with the right preparation. Magnetic Chip and its subability Magnetize can be used in various ways, but my thought was that the true sight would allow you to catch and fling a hero who has disengaged, so long as you've thought ahead and put a trap or two in their path that you can pull them to. Efficient Engineering is kinda boring, but I think its fairly thematic and the speed boost allows you to more quickly reach any hero who has tripped a Spring Trap to finish them off. The ultimate, Bolt Propulsion, is intended to be kind of like Magnus' Skewer but limited to one attached hero and considerably slower. This ability is powerful, and you can carry heroes directly to your spring traps, but it is also easily punishable. Enemies could even dispel your target to detach them from you, basically taking you out of the fight until flight ends. The Aghanim's Shard effect is designed to make using W more reliable and easier, and the Scepter effect allows you to set up nice ults that 1. position heroes right around you so R will pick one up, 2. deal initial damage to targets in the area and punish them for chasing in melee range and 3. apply the electrify debuff to every hero magnetized, dealing damage and slowing. It might be too powerful. Let me know.

I don't know. I have no artistic ability and don't wanna use other people's work for a portrait so I'll just describe how I imagine her appearance. She's either Keen or a dwarf, about the same size as Clockwerk, but moves more similarly to Sniper's waddle. She wears a rudimentary helmet that looks like it doubles as an eye shield for welding and has a shiny tool belt around her waist. She holds a bolt gun in one hand which fires high-velocity bolts of energy, and in her other hand is the detonation device which she uses to Magnetize Magnetic Chips. Her armor otherwise looks somewhere between Dawnbreaker's body texture and Clockwerk's. I added a 2 min MSPaint drawing because I couldnt publish without a photo. Apologies for it being so horrible.
