Earthbound and Lead Bullets - drag those flyers back to the ground

[Kita]

Simple active item, T3 Weapon. When used on an enemy, prevents them from ascending in the air. If they are already in the air, drags them back down at a reasonable pace. The victim still has horizontal movement when descending. Lasts for 8 seconds, has a range of 40m. Double jumps still work for air time, but targets will usually touch the floor before the double jump becomes available.

Another T3 weapon item: Lead Bullets. When shot by a lead bullet, the Earthbound effect gets applied for .5 seconds. Repeated shots reset the timer. Procs once every 30% of the time or so. Does not interfere with Tesla, and only applies to whatever target the bullet hits.

Another idea. Active item: Glass Ceiling, on cast, create a wide barrier above user that nothing can pass.

Think of Mars' ult, but flat and mid air.

What about applying a gravity accelerant instead? Something that just makes agile airborne players a lot heavier. As a Lash main I would really hate my airborne movement being fussed with like this.

This way, afflicted players can still jump to some degree, but still be hampered.
