    @iliakatster 4 роки тому +14

    For LOL, thematically I'd say Karthus is the most similar, being an undead mage who wants to be in the middle of fights. he has a toggleable AOE damage, with his Q being a low cooldown damage spell (no regen tho) and his ult being a "death sentance", where, if you know you're low enough to die, all you can do is sit there and wait for it to kill you.

    I'd definitely add Karthus as necrophos inspired. Same creepy green mage theme, and is a close range mage with lots of consistent aoe damage and loves being in the middle of a fight. Granted he does this by dying and then blowing everyone else up rather than by sustaining. I'd say Vladamir has similarities by also being a close range mage who loves being in the middle of a teamfight with consistent damage, who also constantly sustains and is surprisingly tanky.

    With the new change to Reaper's Scythe in 7.31, it allows necro to become something of a pseudo-tank with enough stacks. Certainly no replacement for an actual strength hero on the team, but it does mean that he can stick around for quite a while against enemies that can't immediately threaten a kill, and gives a great incentive to st- erm, secure kills during the early-mid game, while also being much less devastating in the late game, now that it lost its +30s respawn penalty. The shard upgrade is also amazing for necro, as the double death pulse becomes a great wave clear, while also giving a mini-decrepify to save an ally from an omnislash, or waste a chronosphere, although the projectile does ensure that it is inferior to decrepify for its intended purpose, which is honestly fine, as a slightly worse decrepify is still pretty good.

    He was originally the normal necromancer model (without the ghost effect) and he was almost purely a summoner int hero.
    He had: Raise dead, which summoned skeletons from corpses.
    Grasp of the Damned, kind of like an instant single-target stun with damage.
    Animate Dead, reanimated two undead units(not heroes) around you, you could amass an army of these
    And his ultimate "Dark Portal" Which had a small channeling time if not interrupted summoned a large Purple Portal and 4~8 bigger skeletons around it.
