I love playing Nazeboo, but I think there are some issues with the hero. Or rather, one big issue: Vile Infection.
The hero is basically dependant on this one insane power spike to be effective, which relies entirely on two things:
- The game lasting to 20
- Forcing you away from teamfights/objective for large parts of the game to farm minions
It reminds me a lot of the old Azmodan. Azmo used to be very locked into farming minions with his globes, which took a lot of time away from teamfights. After his rework there are now multiple ways for him to stack and the hero is much much more dynamic. He can still split push and waveclear well, but he is now also viable in a teamfight before 20min into the game.
So is there a way to learn from Azmodan to make Nazeebo better?

- SUGGESTION 1 -
Add a separate baseline quest for Voodoo Poison that is based on fighting heroes. Make killing heroes have some reward for the Voodoo Ritual quest.
Remake. Make the increase in poison damage scale linearly and from baseline. Vile Infection to be a percentage based increase in damage.
Trait:
(Rework) Voodoo Ritual
-Health per stack reduced from 6 to 5
+Poison is now also baseline applied to heroes for half the duration.
+Enemy heroes that die under the effect of Voodoo Poison grant 5 stacks of Voodoo Ritual
+! Quest: Poison enemy heroes for 100 seconds.
Reward: Voodoo Ritual poison now lasts full duration on heroes and its damage per second is increased by 1 for every 3 stacks of Voodoo Ritual.
20:
(Rework) Vile Infection: Each second a target is affected by Voodoo Poison increases the damage they take from it by 5%, to a maximum of 100%. Resets when the debuff runs out.
