[Rework] Arthas, the lich king. var 1

Hero and Skin Suggestions
1

This is 1st variant how i see Arthas rework. 2nd will be as soon as i will have time for it.
Starting from main question: why this hero has to be reworked? Despite having famous abilities like death coil, army of the dead and hitting people with Frostmourne, Arthas gameplay is very easy: walk around with E always active, press ALT+Q and D whenever possible, adding ghoul food when Q isnt enough. Only ability you can actually use as you see fit - W, but its very hard to hit someone on your own, so usually it is used in range of 2m or in combo with another CC. The use of this hero even worse than his spells - it is anti-melee tank. The only task he does (and does incredibly good) is to make all bruisers and melee dd absolute trash, unable to do anything in PVP. So 1 in 10 games he can be picked to delete some illidan+aba combo or like that, but 9 other games he will play with range dps that he has no chance to ever catch, and their dmg is not affected by frozen tempest, that will make Arthas life very short and usuless. It is sad to me, that legendary hero like that has 1 button to use and cant be picked 90% of the time just becouse he works so. And rework is made to change it.
Stats unchanged

Raising Dead (D) - resurrects a ghoul that will serve you. He has 500 hp and 60 dmg over 1s. Can reactivate to retarget or move the ghoul. Also can be a target for Plague. Cooldown is started by death moment, unlimited range.

This one is extremly broken, heroes that have this ability has to pop a lvl 20 talent into it.
The reason this one is even more broken is that you basicly have it up 100% of the time, so if Arthas takes on lets say 3 players with this.
Then you have 3 players who have NO idea where skillshots are coming from, leaving them unable to juke any incoming dmg.

This aswell is basicly an ult, howling blast is fine as is, you have to remember that this is an AoE spell, also 10sec CD.
Leaving 3-4 people unable to play every 10 seconds in a TF is mad.

3

Mana drain is not allowed.

4

It decreases only YOUR vision, leaving vision from teammates unchanged, so you r not blind (like in dehaka’s ult).

not sure you can juke something having 40% slow. only orbital BFG

AOE in 2m when talent is stacked

3-4 people taking skillshot in 2m AOE is really mad. Becouse they should have lost the fight the moment they did this. Its like staying 3-4 people in kerrigan’s W.

sad. Let it be “drains 1% of hp and gains 1% mana”

So your argument for keeping the vision loss + slow, is that the player would PROBABLY not be able to juke it anyways?
That’s like saying to good players “Hey your having a struggle to juke spells when slowed by 40%, let me just make sure that you can’t”
Also loss of visions comes with more than just the lack of chance to juke spells, prediction, visual communication.
There’s TONS of things.

Well it’s not, Kerrigans W is so small, that it would actually be amazing if a Kerrigan landed her W on top of 4 people, and even when/if she does that, people can stil escape afterwards unless they got some wierd wombo combo planed with a… Kerrigan?

There are ALOT of factors you havn’t considered here.
