Looks interesting enough, might try it out for a bit.

Hooray for DivLoy!

Three of my builds:

Sniper
Hero: Kerrigan (Ghost)
Spells: Reflect, Bolt, Attract
Description: Though the use of Attract on an otherwise long-range-focused hero may seem counterproductive, bringing the enemy closer to you means you'll have more shots before the enemy can escape, though it also necessitates the choice of Reflect (so that they don't simply kill you with their more powerful short-ranged spells.
Pros: Well-balanced, with a mixture of attack and defense.
Cons: Limited short-range punch.

Runner
Hero: Zergling
Spells: Trailblazer, Freeze, Warcry
Description: This build is fairly nonconventional in that most of the time, it wants to avoid fighting enemy heroes. Instead, it uses its speed to capture uncontested landmarks, using Freeze to block pursuit, Trailblazer rings to destroy enemy buildings (and to assist in preventing pursuit), and Warcry to kill spawns. Since it avoids fighting, more of its money can be used for other things, like building refineries or strategic fortifications.
Pros: Good at earning money for building, helping your team and/or your long-term base-destruction-based strategy; Freeze + Trailblazer (+ fast unit) combo occasionally deals massive damage.
Cons: Usually poor at hero fighting.

Menace
Hero: Infested Kerrigan
Spells: Electrolash, Attract, Missile
Description: The nice thing about having Ensnare and Attract is that they both make it easier to either (a) catch someone for Electrolash or (b) keep a Missile over them. If they tend to be more avoidant, use Ensnare to get within Attract range, then use Missile as a supplement to Electrolash (the projectile for Missile appears right over you, so this method is actually the easiest way to use it).
Pros: Extremely deadly in a hero fight; not bad at cutting through spawns, either, due to the high damage output.
Cons: Can take a lot of damage from Reflect; doesn't have the speed for optimal landmark-taking; short range bias + no reflect + slow escape speed means you can get into trouble pretty easily if you're not careful.

Will you add more spells?

I don't see any reasons not to. There were originally a bit more but I removed a few and combined others into better spells.

I wouldn't want to add spells just for the sake of adding spells or to abide to some unwritten standard of the genre. However, if I think of anything that's genuinely different than what I already have and that greatly increases the amount of viable strategies, then I'll probably add it.

Hah! The secret of your success is finally revealed. Time to try those against you .

As always, all of your feedback is greatly appreciated.

seems pretty good so far

Check it out:
Hero: Berserker
Spells: Electrolash, Bolt, Trailblazer
Description: The purpose of this build is to outfarm the opponent and overwhelm them with spawn or damage. The damage output is insane, and it would be very risky for enemy heroes to approach you, allowing you to farm more and snowball into victory. In team fights, he has to try surround his enemies with trailblazer, allowing him to more easily aim a bolt and destroy his opponents with electrolash. However, take care to not die, because this build is vulnerable to freeze and attract, so it would be in your best interest to stay out of team fights and spend your bank on spawn buildings.
Pros: Awesome pushing and farming power.
Cons: Easily killed if you lack minimap awareness.

A few spell suggestions that I think are unique:
Teleport: Move to the lane of your choice after 4 seconds of channeling. Long cooldown.
Flash: Cast once to teleport 4 tiles up or cast twice (in quick succession) to teleport 4 tiles down. 9 or 10 second cooldown.
Power Boost: Clears all cooldowns and gain 25 mana, but after 5 seconds, you will lose all your mana and your hp will drop to 5%. Long cooldown.
Fade: Disappear from the playable area for up to 6 seconds (replaced with a map revealer), then reappear. You may cast flash again at any time within the 6 seconds to instantly reappear. Cooldown should be at least 35 seconds.

Some great combos using these spells would be:
Flash, Attract, Electrolash: The one man sodomizing machine.
Fade, Attract, Freeze: Super team rape set up, assuming you can land your fade.
Teleport, Bolt, Warcry: No lane is free of your playa hate.
Power Boost, Freeze, Electrolash: Double freeze-lash anyone? Just make sure your team can back you up so that you don't die after the boost.
Fade, Trailblazer, Shockwave: Don't hurt them too much.

I've updated the map. I added two new spells (Warp and Bomb), improved trailblazer and made a few other minor changes.

It sounds like an interesting build stickynote. I'll be sure to try it out.
Beware of reflect though with spells like electrolash and trailblazer.

As for the spell suggestions, they all seem quite nice. However, teleport would seem a bit redundant with the new warp spell. I'll try to implement some of those if I get some time. Thanks for the suggestions
