Item That Changes Primary Attribute

[54321z]

You buy this new item (let's call it New Leaf) which allows you to change your primary attribute.
Once the attribute has been changed, you cannot undo the change; it is locked in for the rest of the game.

Let's say you pick Silencer, who has a higher AGI stat gain than his INT gain.
The game considers him as an INT hero, who gains ATK damage per point of INT.
For example you can now build Silencer as an AGI Carry who buys items like Butterfly, etc.
This would create so many new possibilities, and allow players to build their hero with a totally new perspective!

Discuss.

Why would you want to change Silencers main attribute? He relies on it for his right clicks...

I don't lke the idea...

[54321z]

Just an idea. Doesn't strictly apply to Silencer.

Take Razor for example, who is considered an AGI hero, even though his STR gain is his highest. Buy a New Leaf and change him to an STR hero; when you get a Heart on him he gains the added right click damage from the STR boost.

Good point, but I still don't like it too much.

Yeah, wow, it totally won't make some AGI or STR heroes overpowered.

To build a New Leaf (primary stat change item), you would have to buy Power Treads + Stat Orb + 500 Gold Recipe

This is an interesting idea.

So correct me if I'm wrong....
This stat change, is an item, that takes a slot?

I believe it is an item like a tp scroll. Once you use it, it's gone

Oh right.

^ so if it is consumed, would you really blow all this gold buying these items for a consumable?
It would put you behind the curve

Well it could make some heroes way more powerful. Even though I don't like the idea, I still think it could make some characters very powerful.

[54321z]

The item wouldn't be a consumable. It would have a single charge that can be used once to change your primary attribute. The item would take 1 up 1 slot and give all the stats Treads and an Ultimate Orb would give,

[54321z]

Also i haven't given the item build that much thought. Maybe instead of Treads + Ultimate Orb + 500 Recipe, maybe it'd be better for it to be just Ultimate Orb + Expensive (?) Recipe.

I just thought the idea of an item that changes your primary attribute would be game changing in a refreshing new way

[Stefirez]

Maybe this idea can be incorporated in custom game mode..
