Always been the sort of player who loves to play characters that have funky gimmicks so here's my attempt at making one.
The idea is the ‘body’ is actually entirely made up of supernatural bugs that all is controlled by a small queen hiding in the head, the queen of course is nothing without her subjects which are the main resource she manages. Bugs, especially any insects with queens are really ruthless for any single goal and for a demon bug queen I wanted her to be straight malicious to the enemies and particularly unfeeling towards her own spawn. This character is designed to be a spirit drain bruiser who needs to play up-close and manage her Subjects to get the most value out of her.
Weapon: Superheated acidic mixture shot, bombardier beetles essentially have the components of a gun inside itself which is kind of crazy and I thought of having a semi larger one hiding in the sleeve on the character shooting acid with demon bug eggs mixed in.
Has a lot of text but i swear its not that complicated, Alt-fire creates a personal wall(Like Brigitte) made of disposable insects that use the unique resource for health. However unlike Brigitte, Beelzebub has to get most of her shield health back by using her 2 rather than just waiting.
Her 2, Queens subjects, adds stacks on targets when they get shot(think haze passive) which have to be 'redeemed' by Beelzebub by hitting a melee or using her 1's active. Beelzebub's 1's active shoots a needle(like a mosquito) from her torso and begins sucking blood out of her victim and is meant to be a good trading tool in-lane and a consistent way for Beelzebub to redeem her stacks without having to melee.
T3 1's power is to increase the range of the shield to be enough to cover more than just one player on a team and can be given the beefiness to match if the Beezabulb player is willing to invest in resists. The way Beelzebub's 2 works makes balancing the gun supremely important in how the feel of her main combat loop feels, I guess full auto close-mid range is the play.
New York has creepy crawlers hidden in every crevice and of course I want my bug character to have alternate ways of traversing the map. Beelzebub's 3 is slower than ziplines, need resources and time to build and are generally easy to squash but give Beelzebub the ability to have excellent map coverage given enough setup. To give her a reason to want to be able to get in and out of tight places we have her ult, essentially just traps in the form of bloodsuckers who really want to ambush you. With the addition of undercity vents now i coulddd make her use those but I'll just stick to my original vision but you could easily swap this ability out for some sort of mega buff in the sewers.
The ult Tsuchigumos child which are like Japanese blood sucking spiders is to give players jump scares straight out of alien to unsuspecting power farmers to slow them down, whittle down enemies or to act as lookouts in areas of situational importance. They can be used in conjunction with 3 to play mind games or send ahead traps for fleeing enemies. The downsides being the bugs aren't invisible they can be shot or hit with abilities and can always be killed with one heavy melee with good timing, and also the fact it isn't a teamfight ult on a bruiser character.
Beelzebub is a drain tank that doesn't have any in combat mobility and cc and trades it all for a shield and global presence. I did think about adding a stun on her shield like Brigitte but then she'd really need to have other things removed and I really didn't want to compromise the bug theme(and also boring stuff like needed clear weaknesses pfft) so nope. and I also thought about making her ult a more generic CC ability like Billy to align her moves to her class(and to be you know, actually viable) but this was my original vision so ill keeping it.
I still like it so I thought of posting it and praying some version of Subjects gets added one day. ALSO PLEASE PUT ME IN THE EXPERIMENTAL VERSION I BEG. If you have anything to add please do and thanks for reading : ))
graves ult is remarkably similar, rats
