Heroes based on one big spell idea

1. crystals revolve around a hero and when you shoot it the crystal slows enemies in the area. you or an ally can shoot the crystal
2. theres like six different heroes that become stronger when an enemy uses a spell or has too much mana
3. freeze an enemy passively when you attack them
4. Sniper healing allies when he or she shoots an enemy
5. vampiric aura that heals surrounding allies when the hero attacks
6. vampiric aura that heals a target when allies attack
7. have a shield that absorbs mana from enemies
8. a passive that ministuns when an enemy or ally casts an ability
9. spark wraith that attacks an enemy when they come near the hero instead of the area
10. i want this for axe to be honest it will make rubick his ally but to force people to channel and take damage if they move.
11. want this for elder titan or bane or puck but acid spray with the animation of spirits doing battle
12. five heroes that function passively like aghnims for their ultimate i just dont know if the hero should provide both teams with new abilities
13. want this for brewmaster but spitting out rocks while spinning in a circle

other ideas

points with announcements keeping track of everything in the game instead of just kills. like saving people, letting them go, stun lock, healing,
