Hero and Skin Suggestions
1

Translated with translator because i have not so much time to do it myself, hope its will enough to basic idea concept.

In most moments, I will not give exact numbers, and the indicated numbers can be rebalanced, there will be just a general concept for mechanics.
The concept will be based on a succubus from Diablo 1 - because Diablo 1 succubus are the best succubi (who will understand) :kissing_heart:.
Of course, they will not make the appearance as in D1 (game 6+, after all, for the smallest ones), but the general concept of the appearance is still the same as in D1, they will add the bra themselves if they want :wink:.
Base skins - 4 colors, from left to right:
Succubus, Snow Witch, Hellfiend, Soul Burner.

The backstory of the hero
When Aidan and the other heroes cleared the dungeons of Tristram on their way to Diablo, almost all succubi were mercilessly slaughtered by them. Only a few survived, including Arania. After Diablo’s final defeat at the Cathedral of Tristram in Sanctuary, it became senseless and dangerous to remain, and fate itself sent her a chance to move to the Nexus.
The endless worlds of the Nexus - endless possibilities to seduce and tempt new souls!

Role is a ranged assassin.
Health reserve / regeneration - comparable to Valla.
There is no mana because succubi use blood magic.
Succubus has no basic auto attacks (completely absent).

Hero Skill - “Charm”
Enemy heroes accumulate up to 5 charges of “Charm”, each charge reduces the damage dealt by this hero to the succubus by 5%.
Heroes lose 1 charge of Charm every 5 seconds.
Passive: Succubus does not wear armor or clothes to seduce opponents, so its base armor is -25 units (takes 25% more damage from all sources).

Ability Q - “Blood Star” (base color is brown-red, like the standard succubus in Diablo 1).
Cooldown 0.5 seconds, cost 3% of maximum health.

The succubus releases a slowly flying ball of energy, using the unholy magic of his blood, the ball flies in a straight line, the flight range is not limited, the flight speed is about 75% of the speed of Tyrande’s owl, deals only 25% of the initial damage to buildings. The ball explodes when it collides with an enemy or an impassable obstacle, inflicting average damage to the hit target (no splash damage, the damage is comparable to Junkrat’s grenades), when hitting the hero, it returns the health expended on the use and imposes 1 Charge of “Charm” on the hero.

Ability W - “Whip”
Recovery 10 seconds, does not require resources

A succubus hits with a whip in a straight line (the mechanics of maintaining and moving the whip are similar to Tassadar’s Q, slightly faster, but shorter in length), dealing small damage to all enemy targets hit, restoring a little health for each target hit (twice as much when defeating heroes) and slowing down targets hit by 25% for 2 seconds. Upon hitting an enemy Hero, inflict 2 Charm charges on them.

Ability E - Succubus Flight
Recovery 15 seconds, does not require resources
After a pause of 0.75 seconds, the succubus flies a short distance (also over obstacles), dealing minor damage at the landing point and slowing down the hit enemies by 30% for 1.5 seconds. The ability can be interrupted like jumping over Hanzo’s wall. Dealing damage to an enemy Hero with this ability applies 2 charges of Charm on them.

Ability R1 - Love Potion
Recovery 60 seconds. cost 10% of maximum health.
A succubus throws a bottle of love potion in a straight line (analogue of a Greyman’s cocktail, the range is slightly higher, the speed is lower). The first enemy hero hit gets 2 charges of “Charm” and the status “Love spell” - imposes on him the effect of silence and forces him to attack the nearest allied target (analogous to provocation, only the closest ally is not attacked, but the closest ally - building, minion or hero). The target loses 1 charge of Charm every 0.5 seconds (2 charges per second), and each charge of Charm again applied to the target during the duration of the ability prolongs its duration. When all charges of Charm are lost, the effect wears off. You can remove from the target with the same abilities of the allies as the provocation (“Purification”, etc.). The maximum duration is 5 seconds.

Ability R2 - “Curse of Bloody Mana”
Cooldown 120 seconds, cost 15% of maximum health
The succubus imposes a curse on all enemy heroes with at least 1 charge of “Charm” for 5 seconds, the range is unlimited. For each charge of Charm, the target loses 5% of their armor (maximum 25%) and when using abilities that consume mana, inflict damage to themselves in the amount of 40% per charge of “Charm” of the spent mana (maximum 200%) (if a hero under 5 charges of “Charm” spends 100 mana, then he will inflict 200 damage to himself, 250 taking into account -25% armor). Heroes not using mana (like Sonya, Junkrat or Hogger) are not damaged by this effect, still lose armor.

The general idea of ​​the gameplay for the hero is a stable small poke-damage from a long distance (analogous to Junkrat), as well as various curses, exhausting and debuffs of the enemy team (which is what succubi do) through “Charm” (analogue of Ana’s “Datura”).
Due to low mobility, low HP and -25% armor, the hero is vulnerable to diving (as befits a succubus), so positioning will be very important, despite the large number of protective mechanics, you can focus the succubus very quickly (analogue of Valla or Tracer, glass cannon).
