Rooftrellen, the Treant Protector, is a melee strength hero who excels in supporting and strengthening his allies with his beneficial set of spells, which use the power of nature. He is a natural tank, offensively and defensively, having both the highest natural attack damage and the second highest overall strength in the game. Manipulating the power of the plants to his will, he can grant invisibility and stealth to himself with Nature's Guise and move quickier with a stunning hit, being a good ganking skill and rather efficient for scouting, provided that he remains within close proximity to a tree. He can use Leech Seed to sap the life from a target, slowing and dealing moderate damage over time to it while nearby allies are replenished by the same amount. His signature Living Armor makes him truly live up his title, as he is able to provide allies and even friendly buildings with increased health regeneration and a massive damage block from anywhere on the map. Finally, his ultimate Overgrowth roots nearby enemies with vines, branches, and roots; though it does not deal any damage, it immobilizes them and renders them unable to attack for several crucial seconds. Although Rooftrellen is not able to dish out much damage outside of his regular attacks, he is able to provide an enormous amount of defensive utility and survivability to himself and his teammates, thereby planting the seeds for a decisive victory.

Bio

Rooftrellen, the Treant Protector

▶️ "Life becomes death becomes new life. As it should be."

Lore:

Far to the west, in the mountains beyond the Vale of Augury, lie the remains of an ancient power, a fount of eldritch energy nestled deep in the high woods. It is said that the things that grow here, grow strangely. To the forces of nature this is a sacred place, made to stay hidden and unknown. Many are the traps and dangers of this land--all-consuming grasses and crossbred fauna and poisonous flowers--but none are so fierce as the mighty Treant Protectors. These ageless, titanic beings, charged with keeping the peace in this dangerous land, ensure that none within encroach without reason, and none without poach their secrets. For time untold they tended to their holy ground, uninterrupted, only dimly aware of the changing world beyond. Yet inevitably the wider world grew aware of this untamed land, and with each passing winter the outsiders grew bolder. Soon they arrived with tools to cut and with flames to burn, and often the Treants would ponder: who are these fragile, industrious creatures? What now had become of the wild, green world? There came and went an age of questions and of doubts, a thousand summers of long traditions set to scrutiny, while more and more the outsiders died and fed their earth. When all that bloomed had finally finished their stay, curiosity had overcome caution. It was decided: a lone Protector would be sent into the wider world, and instructed to wander until the glaciers arose once more, to observe the changing land and its creatures, and to discover what unknown dangers could threaten their sacred ground.

Natures Guise Invis

Undispellable

Natures Guise Root

Any

The Protectors don't often come into vision; their natural state being nestled within their leafy brethren.

• Casting spells or using items does not break the invisibility.

• The ability icon shows a cooldown whenever a tree is within the radius while not invisible. This has only informative purposes.
  • This means it is not affected by the cooldown reductions of Octarine Core, Arcane Rune and the level 20 talent.
  • However, it is affected by cooldown resets like Refresher Orb, but doing so does not affect the fade delay in any way.
  • Time Dilation and Chakra Magic affect the cooldown visually, but do not affect the fade delay either.
  • The cooldown starts over whenever Treant Protector attacks, to indicate that the fade delay has reset due to the attack.

• Treant Protector stays invisible as long as there are trees within {{#show:#Nature's Guise|?value1#}} radius around him.

• The invisibility is not instantly lost upon getting too far from trees. There is a {{#show:#Nature's Guise|?value5#}}-second-long grace time.
  • This means Treant Protector can stay up to {{#show:#Nature's Guise|?value5#}} seconds long away from trees and still be invisible.
  • The grace time resets whenever a tree is within range again.
  • The grace time is not indicated anywhere.

• Treant protector is phased while invisible.

• While invisible, Treant Protector's next attack has True Strike
  • The attack also applies a root and disarm on the target, preventing it from moving, attacking and casting certain mobility spells.
  • The True Strike, root and disarm do not work against buildings and wards.
  • Interrupts the target's channeling spells, but does not prevent it from starting to channel during it.
  • Provides True Sight over the target.

Modifiers [?]

Living Armor

Any

The roots and tendrils of the Treant Protectors are far-reaching, stimulating the growth and rejuvenation of all of nature.

• When targeting the ground, the closest unit to the target point is targeted instead.

• Can be cast on buildings, providing all its effects to them.

• Restores health in the form of health regeneration, so it regenerates health in 0.1-second intervals.

• Can heal the target for up to health if the armor stays for its full duration.

• Living Armor belongs to the group of damage negating effects. However, unlike the others in that group, Living Armor only negates a certain amount of damage per instance.

• If a damage instance is low enough to get fully negated, it causes several on-damage effects to not trigger.

• Living Armor has the lowest priority in the group of damage negating effects.
  • This means when coupled with any other form of damage negation, Living Armor neither blocks damage nor loses any charges.
  • When combined with Aphotic Shield however, it does lose charges without blocking any damage.
  • When combined with the Glyph of Fortification, it does not lose any charges until the Glyph's effect expires.

• As with all damage manipulating effects, Living Armor only blocks the 3 damage types. It does not react on HP Removal.

• Blocks damage after all kinds of reductions. Fully ignores damage lower than 5 (after reductions).

• Can block up to ( ) damage.
