Apropos of nothing, I’m thinking about hypothetical MOBA character design

The standard way that most mobas design their characters is you have a few active abilities and then 1-2 passive abilities that also help you be a little cooler

And I’ve always felt there’s room for a character who has slightly overpowered abilities

But a passive that works against them

The concept in my head was like

The character lore is they’re an escaped convict from a magical prison

And they’re being hunted

So they’re really strong but every third ability use it spawns a mob nearby who starts attacking them

As like a prison guard trying to bring them back in

Who doesn’t give exp or money

It’s a design space that I don’t think I’ve ever seen explored
