for some reason it just popped into my head, asking myself, what would happen to the game dota, if there were to be a ditto-like hero? would it be more extreme? would it be imba have two of the same hero? i dunno, just wanna hear your thoughts.

Why not make a hero suggestion with the concept of mimicking? Problem is if you do that there is a chance that it's skills won't be original cause then it will have another hero's skills.

There was one.

Look for the version with Morphling when he had undercover. Greatest ability I have ever seen in DotA or any other map. No joke.

I think thats a good idea. He would have 5 abilitys, 3 dittos. The first ditto will mimic the first ability on that hero he tryes to mimic. And the second ditto will mimic the second ability and third will mimic the third. Hes ultimate would be to like mimic a hero completly. And the last ability would remove the last mimiced ability. Without using any spells he should be really weak.

If we have a Pikachu Zeus, we need a Ditto hero.

The last time Morphling had an ability which allowed him to mimic another hero's ability everyone cried imba.

Actually this gives me an idea. In the ladder game, some undead units eg carrior beetles and fiends have the burrow ability. How about if a hero has the ability to "burrow" underground, but is able to move "underground", and can only be seen by sentry wards (just like in the ladder game), and to borrow the idea of "poof", when they come above ground (after a set limited time) they stun the area above them.

I think in terms of balance it wouldn't be too bad - since you can only burrow a limited time (I was thinking something on the lines of several seconds). In a way, it will be like a longer version of sand king's impale, with the slight advantage that you can be "invis" while impaling. As long as the damage is not too much, it would make it relatively fair (counterable too, since you can use sentry wards).

I can't even image the scripting and language head aches this hero would bring blink.gif However, its a cool idea, but I would think the hero would be over powered by sheer principal, without even putting it in the game.

Not to mention the time it would take to fix all the bugs that would crop up.
It's simply not worth it to sacrifice so much time in order just to fix one ability.
