Calico - Ava feels pointless

[Дедлокер]

I agree with this. I would like to see some verticality added to ava. I was getting stam on her but it feels wasted when i could just go 50 m/s as ava instead and cross the map faster than the teleporter and zip lines can.

But the lack of verticality to ava feels strange. Its a cat. Cats are known for climbing things.

That being said, on most ledges that you can reach, ava already does a weird wall climb thing. So just extend the distance she can climb.

What she does is just a Mantle that heroes normally do. What i imagine wall climbing will feel like is like VERTICAL SLIDING. You can stick to a wall after pressing space and keep a bit of your forward momentum.

If we make it a literal slide mechanic that would be interesting. So shift (or whatever you slide button is) activates when on or next to a wall and going a certain speed. The animation would just stay as ava running.

Would you be able to slide directly up too? So how far up or across a wall you can run is directly dependent on slide distance.

I think climbing directly up should be possible, but will quickly reduce your speed. And yes Shift will be better. Just imagine how much you can juke opponents with it, good luck trying to shoot a cat sliding on a wall XD.

We should start a petition to make this the new t3 upgrade instead of what it is now. I would even accept the CDR being removed as well in order to get kitty parkour.

Honestly, I feel like it's incredibly bizarre that Ava can use items (Like Alchemical Fire) without breaking the form, but she can't use any abilities. Seems to me like an oversight.

Krill burrow and a couple other channeling abilities are the same. I think it's fine.
