Couple of New items and Item Upgrades

[faytul]

Just some random ideas for items. No hate, idc if they don't even get looked at, I just wanna see more items in the game cause I love how different builds can get. Obviously numbers can be tweaked, I'm not a game balancer surprisingly. I also couldn't think of any spirit items.. sorry.

Item Upgrades:

Intimidating Presence: 6200 (Weapon)

• Upgrades from Hunters Aura

+150hp (ontop of the 150 from hunters)
+15% ammo

Passive:
Hunters aura passives go from 9% -> 12%
In addition, enemies in the radius deal 9% less damage to you, also tripled if they're alone
Gain +1 movement speed per enemy in the radius (max +3 move speed)


Adaptive Surge: 6200 (Vitality)

• Upgrades from Reactive Barrier

+200hp
+2 health regen

Passive:
Gain 2 stamina, 750 bullet shield and 600 spirit shield and 2 movement speed when stunned, slept, immobilized etc.

Brutal Force: 3000 (Weapon)

Of all the items, I think I actually like Metal Fist the most. It's simple, straight forward, and fills in a weird gap in the T1 weapon items (none of them boost melee damage, even though melee damage is considered Bullet damage for resists and shields). Brutal Force is pretty cool too.

Overdrive would need to be carefully tuned, as item buffs are extended by things like Duration increase and their CDs are affected by CDR. Infinite ammo that then forces a reload isn't a bad option, though. It might be problematic when heroes like Viper come out (who can drain their magazine in like, .6 seconds early on).

It would probably be a core pick on heroes like Infernus, Wraith, and Haze who all can go through their mag quickly without larger items. It might need to be changed to a T3 item, imo, as it has a lot of overlap with Titanic Magazine, if it has a duration much longer than 2 or 3 seconds.

Edit: Actually, if Titanic Magazine were changed to replace the passive with this active with something like a 6-7 second duration and a 25-30 second CD, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing that change. It would make Titanic magazine a really interesting pick.

Yeh, it feels like we need atleast a couple more melee items, theres only really melee charge, spirit strike/snatch then the melee lifesteal line.

Overdrive was like a last minute "we don't really have many weapon actives that just buff your gun". Infinite ammo was just cause i did think heroes who shoot fast like haze, ivy gun etc would just burn through it in 1 seconds then the active is spent reloading the whole time, and the force reload was a compromise to stop it just being hella OP with infinite ammo, but obviously I'm open for other ways around it, whether it doubles your clip size during the active or something.
