This wins best idea evar.

In beta, you could target your tele at the edge(or i believe off the map completely) and you'd tele off the edge of the map

Most lollest bug ever..

Well I was using just about to die as an example. Obviously if you are not about to die teleporting 15 yards goes from life saving to a 'nothing' effect. I could see people triggering it hoping to get the meteor effect only to be teleported off the map. Now thats just damn funny

Maybe it could provide you with a temporary mana regen buff. Again this could be really good if you need mana or it could be a 'nothing' effect if you have full mana. There would be no way to anticipate which effect you get.

The real point of this kind of item is that its playing with fire, its a gamble - with either tide turning benefits, disasterous backfires or a pointless puff of smoke. As well as positive effects there should be an equal amount of negative effects or others that do nothing.

What can be really great about this is sometimes negative effects (like the meteor falling on your head) can turn out to be positive ones (you die and then the meteor kills your killer) or positive effects (instant teleport to safety) become negative (teleports to death). Effects that normally do nothing could have surprising positive or negative effects... or positive and negative effects.

Perhaps even secret effects such as your opponents can now see exactly where you are for 3 minutes as you now have a Vegas style neon sign saying "Kill Me!" floating over your head. Now activating the artifact and nothing happening makes you wonder... oh no... what did it do?

As a fake out you could also make it do nothing at all but leave the person who activated it wondering what the hell happened.

Thanks Teseer

Chip in some more ideas for effects!

How about grants 50+ hp per second but freezes you in place with no access to abilities for 7 seconds.

You die instantly when you activate the orb... but next time you die you respawn instantly where you died on full hp and mana?

You activate the orb then the annoucer says "Blue... no Green!" and everybody in the arena is thrown off the map.

More ideas!

Oh lawd or give you a mask of a different demigod like the spy on tf2. /win

sounds like a lot of fun, however you shouldnt be able to "use" it, it should just activate at a random time anywhere from 15 - 45 seconds

ohh neat i have full mana !  / where the F*CK did my mana go !!

Haha, oh man, this would make an awesome addition. Particularly like this one:

Would make for epic confusion.

lmao

Or a kill every DG within 30 meters as a random effect. No gold exchange.

hahaha. I like it.

I'll tell you, I must have a filthy mind cause I saw that going in a totally different direction before I finished reading it.

Storm - The announcer tells everyone "A storm approaches," followed by around 20 - 25 lighting strikes on random positions in quick succession.

Blizzard - The announcer says "A cold wind is blowing forth," soon afterwards, 3-5 waves of ice storms roll across the center of the map.

Increased Fog - The announcer says "Blackout!," Every players base vision radius is set to 5 for the next 2 minutes, reinforcement and structure vision radius set to 3, the only things that can see normally are Totems of Revelation.

Earthquake - The announcer warns "The ground trembles!" The map begins shaking around, lowering movement speed by 20%, and interrupting everyone every second, in addition, structures all take 100 damage every second. Earthquake lasts 18 - 23 seconds.

Blind rage - Your attack speed is increased by 25%, and weapon damage by 100, movement speed increased by .5, damage taken is lowered by 15% for 12-15 seconds, during this time, you have no control over your demigod, who runs to attack anything nearby, or runs to find something to attack. You cannot control minions either, but they will follow you as normal unless they were told to stay somewhere beforehand.

Barrage - The announcer says "Incoming Barrage!" Every demigod has 2-3 waves of trebuchet rocks dropped over their position, each wave coming in one second intervals and consisting of around 15-25 rocks. The barrages take a moment to land, allowing those who move upon seeing them to get out of most, if not all, of the damage.

Hurricane - The announcer says "The wind has picked up!" Wind immediately starts blowing, blowing all smaller units off the map, and lowering movement and attack speed by 20%, in addition, targetting cursors move back and forth as they are blown around. Lasts around 22-30 seconds.

Mass Transporation - The announcer says "Transportation!" All demigods are transported into the opposite team's base for 12-15 seconds, afterwards, they are all transported to the middle of the map.

Reinforments - A portal opens beside you, bringing in 40 soldiers and 10 archers that immediately run to the enemy base. Base health for all of them is increased by 1.5x, in addition to any upgrades purchased from the citadel.

Flag wipe - The announcer says "Flag wipe!" ALL flags are turned neutral, even the ones in your base.

Supplies - A potion and mana scroll are dropped beside you.

Well, this is all i could think of for the moment.
