Wouldn't it be 138.75? 11% weapon buff then that times 5 for base, headshot, and favorite bullet damage.

Anyway Geist would be the character it's best on because of her high base damage and low clip size. Average of about +8 damage per bullet. The larger your mag the worse it is, and if you really want to get that first shot on a hero you're ignoring creeps and could just miss the shot. Plenty of drawback.

Basic mag for comparison would be an average of just over 5 damage per bullet, but every bullet is equal and more ammo is good.

Due to the risk and commitment of getting your favorite bullet on the enemy hero each time it may be fair. Though you could argue the base stats are unnecessary. I almost made it +250% but hard to say without using it.

That's still incredibly high. Higher than even headshot booster at ~90. Have you ever played against holliday in hero labs recently? This item would be crackshot, but on crack.

I haven't played against holiday no. Headshot booster can activate at any point in the magazine, which I think is a big difference. You have a lot more freedom with your shots.

Holliday has +100 bonus weapon damage on a headshot every 20 seconds as her 3. It's incredibly broken, and makes her a complete monster in lane taking off so much HP with just a single headshot. Geist with this item would be hilarious busted, let alone holliday when she comes to live.

That does sound like a bit much. This item will probably need reworked.

Perhaps as a component of Lucky Shot? Inheriting some traits from it as well?

It could easily become that is they wanted to make lucky shot 500 more expensive but unless they want that nerf it wouldn't happen.

I think a better option might be to make it fire off on the last round in your magazine. This would mean you would have to commit to reloading to get the harass off, which might result in missed last hits/secured souls.

At the same time, I would probably change it to be like this:

Passive:

The last round of your magazine deals +35 Spirit damage. This bonus damage is affected by headshot damage.

Broken with Abrams.

Broken with Abrams.

Right. I forgot that he can reload one round at a time.

Could be simple enough to say that you have to completely reload your gun before it will recharge. It would only affect Abrams.
