A hero with a true sight ability?

[baconster]

I think we should have a hero with a true sight ability; either a passive or active ability. I don't think it would be too OP.

zeus. Topic no longer needs to exist.. and btw buy gem

[baconster]

Yeah true but it only lasts a few seconds and is a side effect of the damage. I'm talking about a dedicated true sight ability.

4.5 seconds in a 750 radius is good enough already.

not side effect of damage, you can see wards when casting LB near. and that ward isn't taking dmg.

Yeah I'm thinking a passive with a small radius like 200 or so. Like a nerfed gem ability.

I've considered something like this as well, but in games where there is no invisibility it would be useless, so I feel like it would need to be a multi-part ability. I tend to prefer active, since passive truesight would just be an awful counter to large numbers of heroes and tactics unless it's range was really small.

So maybe a passive ability that increased the regular day and/or nighttime sight range either for all heroes in an area or even globally (like CM's global mana aura) plus an active component that gives truesight for a limited duration. Maybe even let it grant the truesight buff to whoever you target, so you can use it on yourself or aid other team-members.

told you check HoN for Scout hero to make an idee , i was playng Hon before waiting for dota2 to enter beta. its more similar to dota than LOL has pretty nice heroes but the meta can get bananas... anyway in dota there is no hero with an acutal true sight, zeus dont count too much. but there are items...why not items? would you prefer to buy detection than have a -1 spell slot for that? i mean would you sacrifice a stun for a spell that can be bought for 200 gold?

Speaking of which- if a hero gets a gem, will their illusions have truesight? If not, should they? If they did, why would it be fine or OP?

I'm curious.
