Scandal, Apparition

Backline, Ranged

Her life made a living hell by rumours and accusations, Scandal returns from the grave knowing every trick in the book.

For players who enjoy suppressing their foes with curses and binds.

Innate: Exposure:

Illuminates the target area with 11 flashes of light over a short time, dealing light damage per flash. If 10 flashes hit an enemy hero, they and their nearest allied hero on the map to them will be afflicted with SCANDAL: granting Scandal vision of both for a short duration.

Skeletons in the Closet:

Targets the first unit in a line. Ghostly skeletons will start appearing on the other side of her target at a fixed distance, and Scandal may trace a path of them. The skeletons leave a damage-over-time and slow on enemy heroes they touch.

Outcry:

Scandal sends a message in the target direction. After it passes the target point, the first unit to receive it will exclaim the message, damaging enemies in a cone in the same direction, and silencing them for a short time. If the exclaiming unit is an ally, they receive bonus radius of effect for a short time. The exclaiming unit never takes damage or gets silenced. Closet skeletons can outcry!

Suspicious Links:

Scandal tries to find unscrupulous links between enemy heroes. If this linear ability lands between any two units, they will be bound together until they spend 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0 seconds trying to pull apart.

Pursuit:

Passively: Any attacks against enemy heroes with the SCANDAL curse deal bonus damage.
Active: Scandal may instantly teleport to anywhere within 350 radius of an enemy hero with the SCANDAL curse. Short cooldown.

Notes:

Probably Softmints' personal favourite hero theme.
She is an acceptable solo-laner if she can keep her distance, but shines with a cooperative ally who can uncover skeletons everywhere with her. Kukulza, Fae, and other high-mobility heroes are great at this.
Pursuit's instant relocation can be used to catch her own Outcry (for bonus radius), repositioning herself to find Links, or creating skeleton walls to cut off escape routes.
Suspicious Links turned out a bit weird, but it fits her theme.
