Well not Dick tracy but FLAT TOP
He would pretty much have gyrocopters kit from dota 2, but he would have this distinct flat top that had little tiny generation 1 aircraft on it like an aircraft carrier. He could maybe have fighter biplanes (not jets) on his shoulders, arms, wrists or on top of a gun that resembles an aircraft carrier
All his abilities would have this aircraft theme
His first ability is a variation of rocket barrage. When activated an airplane flies circles around him firing machine guns at anyone in a VERY CLOSE aoe circle around him. Gun damage
His second ability is homing missle, with not much change. In dota it has a delay before a rocket is fired towards the target, that homes in on the target, gradually gaining speed and damage that stuns when it connects. It would be sort of like sevens stun, but with an actual projectile instead of that aura. This rocket would be kinda giant. Bigger than a gold statue at least. In dota it took 3 attacks to destroy it, but I think something like 15 or 12 attacks to destroy in deadlock would be fine. Spirit damage
Alternatively, I was thinking flat top could launch a b29 bomber that gradually raises in altitude as it chases the target. This would be fairly quick in speed, but only take 3 attacks to kill. After it reaches the target from high altitude, it drops a single bomb that falls kinda slow at the target for damage and stun from directly above it. This bomb could be destroyed but takes maybe 9-15 attacks. Could be avoided by running into a building and bomb would blow up on the roof.
Gyros third spell is flak cannon, upon activation, his normal attacks hit all enemies in a rather large aoe around him, proccing item effects, but only for 4-7 attacks based on level.
Flat top's variation would have his attacks instead launch small ww2 era biplanes off that home in on (all) targets in an aoe and drop one single bomb on them for spirit damage (i dunno something like 12 each) these would be unavoidable and fly around corners even if line of sight is broken. If a victim then breaks line of sight, any subsequent attacks wouldn't have vision and thus victim wouldn't be targeted by that attack.
Gyro's ult is basically just a rocket that is a nuke and slow in a giant area after a short delay.
Flat top already has a strong kit, so his ult is going to be utility oriented. When activated, the b29 bomber takes off and flies in a loop to come from behind flat top to then pick him up, and tosses him forward in an arc. Think of it like hopping on the rail for just a short moment and taking advantage of that boost in momentum. This would have a delay before it happens, built in via the loop the plane flies, and only send him a short distance in an asymmetrical arc. Could even be a random distance. This would be a kind of poor escape move, but a great initiation or follow up tool.
Anyway I hope you think this is interesting. I just saw the cars in the map and it reminded me of Dick Tracy, which then reminded me of the character flat top, which then led to me making all this up on the fly.
Might be OP, might be garbage, who's to say. Thanks for reading
