Flotsam, the Ravenous Blob [WIP] Int Melee Support

Flotsam, the Ravenous Blob

Intelligence Melee

Support Disabler

# Playstyle

An aggressive melee support who thrives on chaotic fights and being in the thick of it, Ravenous Blob offers unique powers that involve transforming objects into different phases of matter.

# Overview

Q: Absorption
While toggled on, slowly drains mana per second but gain a large amount of health and mana whenever a nearby enemy or ally casts a spell. Each time a spell is absorbed, also gain stacking bonus damage for the next attack.

W: Condensate
Creates a large square area of solid matter that blocks all units except yourself for a short time. Enemies who attempt to move into the area or are under it when cast get stuck to it, rooting them and dealing damage per second while they're stuck.

E: Dissolution
Briefly causes the target ally to have no collision, causing enemy projectiles to pass through them harmlessly and allowing them to phase through structures, trees and units. Targeted allies deal damage to and stun enemy units constantly while passing through them.

R: Unstable Reaction
Transforms into an unstable ball of matter that shoots out glops of goo at an accelerating rate, dealing an increasing amount of damage the longer the reaction lasts. While the reaction is active your mana drains at an increasing rate per second, but you gain access to improved versions of your spells that have no cooldown.

Q': Sublimate
Roll forward as a slow-moving ball that drains health from nearby enemies, converting half of it into mana and gaining the other half as healing. Also provides the effects of Absorption while toggled on.

W': Deposition
Shoots out a controllable oozeling that can attack enemies or harden to create a miniature condensate that stuns enemies. The oozeling may be targeted by your other spells and restores a portion of its health to you when it dies.

E': Vaporize
Briefly phases a target unit into gas, making allies untargetable in addition to the effects of Dissolution. When cast on enemies, they turn into harmless gas and are prevented from moving but are able to reassemble after taking a certain amount of damage.

Shard: Unstable Reaction
Unstable Reaction restores 50% of your max mana when you last hit an enemy hero while transformed, or 10% for a unit last hit or hero assist. When this effect triggers you create a Deposition oozeling at the target's location upon killing an enemy hero, with a 20% chance when killing a creep.

Scepter: Unstable Reaction
Allows access to two new abilities while Unstable Reaction is active, D: Solidify and F: Liquefy.

D: Solidify
Turn yourself into a massive Condensate and physically protect an ally by encasing them in yourself, making you both unable to move but combining your health pool, mana pool, and other attributes while active.

F: Liquefy
Transform into a stream of liquid that travels at high speed to the target point, silencing enemies who are caught in the flow.

# Lore

A giant, all-consuming blob of ooze that escaped from the lab of Boush's longtime nemesis, the mad primate-scientist Mondark. Unable to stop his own creation, he would reluctantly turn to Boush for help only for the pair to confirm that the ooze is indestructable by normal physical means. The only way to slow the omnivorous beast was to atomize it via an uncontrollable chain reaction, and yet even vaporized and spread as a thin layer across the whole world the glops would eventually congeal again. While not exactly as 'intelligent' a being as its creator originally hoped, the blob is no doubt sentient and, in light of its nagging indestructability, the two geniuses decided to tame the raging goo by offering it purpose in exchange for swearing they would stop researching ways to neutralize it.

# Abilities

Q: ABSORPTION no target, toggle, physical (talent: magical)
While toggled on, slowly drains mana per second but gain a large amount of health and mana whenever a nearby enemy or ally casts a spell. Each time a spell is absorbed, also gain stacking bonus damage for the next attack.
Mana Cost per Second: 5/8/11/14
Trigger Radius: 1200
Health per Spell Cast: 50/80/110/140
Mana per Spell Cast: 50/80/110/140
Bonus Attack Damage per Stack: 40/50/60/70
Heal to Ally on Proc: 0 (talent: 50)
Damage to Enemy on Proc: 0 (talent: 50)
<cd> 2s
* Has a 2 second cooldown between toggles, but no limit to how fast charges can be gained.
* Maximum 8 charges can be stored, and does not gain stacks from your own spell casts.
* Absorption stacks are shared by and can be used in both normal and Unstable Reaction forms.
* The bonus damage when attacking enemies to consume stacks is physical, however the damage from the level 20 +50 Damage/Heal on Absorption Proc talent is magical.

W: CONDENSATE target point, magical
Creates a large square area of solid matter that blocks all units except yourself for a short time. Enemies who attempt to move into the area or are under it when cast get stuck to it, rooting them and dealing damage per second while they're stuck.
[BKB] Spell immune enemies can move freely through the condensate
Condensate Area: 300x300 (talent: 500x500)
Condensate Duration: 2/3/4/5s (talent: 4/5/6/7s)
Condensate Health: 250/400/550/700
Damage per Second: 45/50/55/60
<cd> 18/16/14/12s <mana> 130/140/150/160
* Enemies can attack the condensate but it is immune to spell damage. The condensate provides no vision, cannot move, and has no armor.
* Enemies can reroute around the goo by issuing a new move order, but if they were previously commanded to move into the condensate area will not automatically update their move order.
* Effects that allow unit phasing allow the traversal of the Condensate, including Phase Boots, for both allies and enemies. Enemies will still be rooted but if they touch the Condensate but they can dispel the root and then Phase out (or use just BKB, etc).
* When an ally is inside the intiial Condensate area they are pushed out of its area over a short duration rather than stuck/rooted.

E: DISSOLUTION target ally, magical
Briefly causes the target ally to have no collision, causing enemy projectiles to pass through them harmlessly and allowing them to phase through structures, trees and units. Targeted allies deal damage to and stun enemy units constantly while passing through them.
Cast Range: 550
Duration: 2/2.5/3/3.5s (talent: 3/3.5/4/4.5s)
Damage per Second: 50/60/70/80
Bonus Movement Speed: 0 (talent: 15%)
<cd> 14/12/10/8s <mana> 90/110/130/150
* Dissolution remains on yourself when self-cast and then you use Phase Transform.
* Works like the one old version of Clinkz's Strafe that gave projection immunity, and if possible avoided projectiles would appear to fly straight through effected targets and land harmlessly on the ground behind them.

R: UNSTABLE REACTION ultimate, no target, toggle
Transforms into an unstable ball of matter that shoots out glops of goo at an accelerating rate, dealing an increasing amount of damage the longer the reaction lasts. While the reaction is active your mana drains at an increasing rate per second, but you gain access to improved versions of your spells that have no cooldown.
Base Max Mana Drained per Second: 8/10/12%
Mana Drain Increase per Second: 2%
Glops per Interval: 2/4/6
Target Radius: 750
Projectile Speed: 1100
Glop Base Interval: 1s
Glop Interval Reduction per Second: 0.03/0.04/0.05 (Minimum Interval: 0.2s)
Glop Base Damage: 100/160/220
Glop Damage Increase per Second: 10/20/30 (Maximum Damage per Glop: 600)
<cd> 40s (talent: 20s)
* Your health and mana reset to full when using Unstable Reaction, and while transformed you are prevented from moving but not attacking. Restores you to your previous health and mana values when the Unstable Reaction ends, including any regen you had during the time you were transformed.
* You take on a different shape based on the last spell cast (spiked ball for Q/Q', cube for W/W'/D, smooth dodecahedron for E/E'/F).
* The cooldown for Unstable Reaction begins after leaving the transformation, and the transformation can only end by either dying or running out of mana.
* Prioritizes enemy heroes when selecting targets, shooting 1 glop each interval at the lowest health enemies in range. Each glop must target a different enemy.
* Always deals glop damage per second to enemies under you without needing to target them with a glop (requiring the use of an item like Phase Boots, casting E on yourself while transformed or pre-casting Dissolution on yourself before transforming).

Q': SUBLIMATE no target, toggle, magical
Roll forward as a slow-moving ball that drains health from nearby enemies, converting half of it into mana and gaining the other half as healing. Also provides the effects of Absorption while toggled on.
Roll Speed: 200/250/300
Health Absorb Radius: 200/225/250
Unit Max Health Absorbed per Second: 8/10/12%
Health Absorbed Converted to Mana: 50% (10% for creeps)
Health Absorbed Converted to Healing: 50% (10% for creeps)
<mana> 5/8/11/14 + 4% per second
* Sets max speed to 200/250/300 while active, reduces your turn rate, sets your collision radius to a 90 radius sphere and allows phasing through trees and allied units.
* You may take other actions while sublimate is active, including using other abilities, attacking or using items.
* The health drain is not fatal to enemies on its own, leaving them at 1 health.

W': DEPOSITION target point/target enemy, magical
Shoots out a controllable oozeling that can attack enemies or harden to create a miniature Condensate that stuns enemies. The oozeling may be targeted by your other spells and restores a portion of its health to you when it dies.
Cast Range: 550
Deposition Area: 150x150 (talent: 250x250)
Deposition Duration: 2s (talent: 4s)
Deposition Damage per Second: 60/70/80
Oozeling Health: 400/550/700
Oozeling Damage: 70/110/150
Oozeling Attack Interval: 1s
Oozeling Vision: 200
Oozeling Movement Speed: 315
Oozeling Max Health as Healing On Death: 25%
Oozeling Max Health as Mana On Death: 0 (25%)
<mana> 14%
* Immediately creates a half-size Condensate that stuns instead of just roots when targeted directly on an enemy, or select the oozeling and activate its W ability 'Harden' to create a half-size condensate at the target location (or Alt-W to make one at its current location).

E': VAPORIZE target unit, magical
Briefly phases a target unit into gas, making allies untargetable in addition to the effects of Dissolution. When cast on enemies, they turn into harmless gas and are prevented from moving but return to their solid form after taking a certain amount of damage.
Cast Range: 550
Ally Duration: 3.5s (talent: 4.5s)
Enemy Duration: 3.5s (talent: 4.5s)
Enemy Damage to Return: 100/150/200
<mana> 24%
* Vaporized enemies are targetable and may not take any actions besides turning in place.

Shard: UNSTABLE REACTION
Unstable Reaction restores 50% of your max mana when you last hit an enemy hero while transformed, or 10% for a unit last hit or hero assist. When this effect triggers you create a Deposition oozeling at the target's location upon killing an enemy hero, with a 20% chance when killing a creep.

Scepter: UNSTABLE REACTION
Allows access to two new abilities while Unstable Reaction is active, D: Solidify and F: Liquefy.

D: SOLIDIFY target ally
Turn yourself into a massive Condensate and physically protect an ally by encasing them in yourself, making you both unable to move but combining your health pool, mana pool, and other attributes while active.
Cast Range: 600/700/800
Travel Speed: 1500
Condensate Area: 400x400 (talent: 600x600)
<mana> 8%
* Both players retain full control of their hero and are effectively placed inside a shared 'cocoon' that combines each of their full heath, mana, damage, armor, and attributes, just without the ability to move. Using Sublimate after casting Solifidy is the only way for the combined blob to move, with items like Blink Dagger or Force Staff being disabled as if you were rooted.
* The only way to separate from the combined blob is for you to cast Solidify on another ally or Liquefy on a target point. When leaving the blob, you will first attempt to restore the combined ally to their previous health and mana values, leaving yourself with 1 health and 1 mana if the deficit cannot be covered, and all negative status effects go on to yourself, applying a strong dispel to the ally to guarantee they will be able to act upon leaving the blob. If there is a surplus of health or mana it is given to the target ally first, then to yourself.

F: LIQUEFY target point
Transform into a stream of liquid that travels at high speed to the target point, silencing enemies who are caught in the flow.
Cast Range: 600/700/800
Travel Speed: 1500
Silence Duration: 2/3/4s
<mana> 16%
