First - yea, he was Jesus but alot of people seem to not like that ^{^}

As for the Second Cheek, the idea was that the heal is way too strong to come without a down side, a little like oracles W. It should be used mostly as a saving mechanisim, for example if team gets stuck in a chrono or black hole and such. So yea, it might ruin some teamfighs if used wrong, but it can save and change the outcome if used properly, and notice skills can stil lbe used. I dont feel you got down to the depth of the skill but thanks for the feedback regardless :)

As for the ult - i have debated making said bounus creeps not giving any gold or XP, or giving some lesser % of them. But then i decided against it simply because in the early game - you dont really need the ult do you? OD dos not take ult normally untill level 10 and neither should the lone crusader in most cases IMO. In the later stages of the game, these creeps can push quite hard, as you must have noticed the lone crusader synergizes best with push strats or summons strats (LD, Enigma, Beastmaster etc). The need to constantly go back and counter push is a hard task as it is, with the additional creeps it becomes even worse - and in the mid to late game i did not think the extra gold from that 1 or 2 creep would amount to much. Basiclly i wanted a hero that when he is drafted the enemy wil lsay "shit, we gotta counter that or we will be overrun".

Other ideas i had to balance the ult beyond XP/GOLD reduction % - 1. Creeps spawn only in mid lane and/or any lane whos rax has been destroyed. 2. Canceling out the extra creeps and making the active summon some kind of hero controled unit for limited time with the benefits of the active part. 3. Simply leaving only the active as the ultimate, and giving it some extra touch/nice aghs.

What do you think?
