Counterstrike (Rebuttal Upgrade)

[MulrianTheBard]

6400 soul Vitality item, upgrades from Rebuttal.

In addition to the effects of Rebuttal...

• Causes your parry to deflect bullets (deflecting bullets does not count as a successful parry).
• Successfully parrying an enemy hero restores 1 stamina an grants 30% movement speed for the duration.
• Your first heavy melee after a successful parry has a 50% reduced windup

Not sure why youd want to deflect bullets. Parrying abilities makes sense cus they go on cooldown so cant do it again. Parrying bullets holds you still and then they can get closer to you while you're basically stunned and keep shooting you.

I like that you included a buff to both the defensive and offensive utility of getting a parry though thats definitely cool

not op but i actually agree with blocking bullets, one of the main reasons you buy rebuttal in the late game is for viscous, and because parrying him doesnt stun him it means that he can just spam on you and psuedo stunlock you due to parry making you stop in your tracks and prone to being bullet hosed, so the t4 item giving bullet block is imo a very good idea as a counter buy against that strategy

I like this! I think deflecting bullets needs an upside, maybe healing for damage deflected, or to reflect bullets instead like return fire.

Funnily enough, I had a similar concept with the exact same name a year+ ago.

Thread 'Counter-Strike: T2 item that counters punching builds with... punching builds'

Yes, the name is deliberate.

Counter-Strike
T2, 1250/1750 souls
Passive: After successfully parrying a punch, immediately deal your own heavy melee damage back to the target.

Note you are dealing your own punch damage, NOT reflecting the punchers damage. This means you have to build your own melee damage to further punish the parried target.

I think this item alone might kill melee builds, so this item would fit in the game only if melee builds get new items as well.
Other than that, its very balanced and situational.
