A frontliner whose ultimate allows them to switch between long-range defensive with CCs and short-range offensive playstyle designed to break down through any defenses. The idea for this character is for them to act like a tank/disruptor during a teamfight, that can quickly shred their defense and turn into an aggressive attacker if needed.
They carry a round metal shield (duh), and a small, weak pistol. Something like a Colt M1911.
When you zoom in, this character raises their shield instead. This blocks headshots and you get some bullet resist as long as the bullets strike the shield and not any other part of your body. This prevents you from shooting, but you can still use abilities and melee attacks.
Bouncy Shield - Primary ability - Throw your shield. If it hits an enemy it deals damage and either ricochets to the next enemy hero or returns to you. The second enemy that is hit with the shield is interrupted, and the third one is stunned. The shield will prioritize enemies that are currently using skills, and can make up to 2 ricochets before returning to you.
Of course you can no longer block with your shield until it returns.
Blessing of a Defender - Second ability - Teleport above (or next) an ally and put a field on them that protects them from damage. Halve the duration of any debuff effects you both have, and grant them temporary bullet and spirit shield.
Disabling Curse - Shoot out a homing bolt at your target. Once it hits it forces them to reload and reduces their weapon damage.
Time to make a Difference - Put away your shield and gun, and exchange them for a blade of light. Your abilities transform, your resists are lowered and you can no longer shoot (clicking fire button now acts like a melee). However your melee attacks deal significantly more damage and gain some innate melee life-steal.
This transformation lasts until you die, or you use this ability again (at which point it goes onto cooldown.)
Bouncy Shield turns into Bunker Buster - A fast and close range piercing attack that can damage and kill enemies even when they’re invulnerable to damage.
Blessing of the Defender becomes Thunderbird - Quickly close distance to an enemy and slash them. This attack deals more damage the more health someone has. Additionally it pierces through shields and is not offset by any resistances. (It is still affected by abilities that grant damage immunities, such as Cube)
Disabling Curse is now Lighting Hands - A self-cast buff that increases your movement, stamina regen and melee attack speed. Additionally it makes your attacks break through parries.
