Beastmaster


 * Difficulty: Medium
 * Skill Curve: Low

Beastmaster is a scouting disable/gank melee hero. Beastmaster's first skill is Wild Axes, which is a somewhat difficult to hit skill that throws out axes and then returns them to beastmaster, dealing damage on both the outward and inward movement of the axes. They have the potential to deal decent amounts of damage to heroes and creeps, and have a low cooldown with reasonable manacost which makes this a very competent farming and harassing tool when in the lane or juggling. It becomes less effective against heroes later in the game because of its damage mechanics. His second skill is an interesting skill. When he casts it, he recieves two units - a hawk and a quillboar. The hawk is a flying unit that gives a very large amount of vision and lasts for quite a bit so it is extremely useful for scouting, but easy to kill. His second unit is a quillboar that does not do that much damage, but every attack he does slows the enemy unit's movement speed quite considerably so it is very good for ganking. His Ultimate is a somewhat long-range stun that pushes units inbetween him and his target to the side. The stun is on a low cooldown for an ultimate, deals decent damage, and stuns for a considerable time, so it is a good disable in teamfights against a carry or other key hero.
