[Hero Concept] AMNH-3015 (Ami) - Haunted Fossil

[LegosaurG]

Had an idea for a Deadlock OC and decided to share it with you all.

I haven't figured out any of the more detailed stuff like damage, health, and all that, but I do have ability ideas to share.


Main Weapon: A gun borrowed from the Museum's inventory.

Abilities:

Primal Leap: Leap towards an enemy hero, tackling them to the ground and attacking with teeth and claws.
Upgrades increase leap distance, damage dealt, and giving the tackled hero debuffs.

Bonehead Charge: Summon a Pachycephalosaurus skeleton to charge in a straight line. Cannot turn whilst charging. Press space to jump off the Pachy. Enemy heroes hit by the charge will be knocked back, but will not be dragged along like with Abrams' charge.
Upgrades increase charge length, damage dealt, and grant bullet resistance while charging.

Amber Armor: Cover yourself in amber, granting a barrier. When the barrier is destroyed, create an explosion of sap that immobilizes nearby enemies.
Upgrades increase barrier health, cooldown reduction, and increase time enemies are immobilized by the sap explosion.

Tyrant Lizard King: Summon a T. Rex skeleton, climbing on top and controlling it. The T. Rex will automatically attack any nearby enemies with bites, stomps, or tail swipes. Abilities cannot be used whilst riding the T. Rex. Cannot be performed in areas where the T. Rex would not fit. Ends either after time runs out or the T. Rex's health is reduced to 0.
Upgrades increase T. Rex health, damage dealt, and grant the T. Rex bullet and spirit resistance.

What do you all think? As stated before, I haven't thought about the finer details like health and damage numbers, but I still wanted to show off what I'd thought up.

This idea seems really cool, one thing, AMNH-3015 actually does have a species name, before it was identified as a Deinonychus in 1969, the paleontologist who discovered it, Barnum Brown, had referred to it as Daptosaurus Agilis. I do think it's lore is amazing, and it'd be funny to see in game. As for it's abilities...

Primal Leap is pretty cool, it seems similar to Silver's wolf form leap, but I could see a really cool way for it to differ, imagine upon doing the leap, he has a small area of effect like Mo and Krill's drill, where enemies within it take rapid light melee damage, say it could be like 6 instances of low melee damage as soon as he lands to the enemy he lands on, I specifically said six because that would then combo it perfectly into crushing fists.

Bonehead charge is really cool, I personally would suggest that instead of being unable to turn entirely, you can turn until you hop off, at which point the pachy continues in that direction until it runs its max range, accelerating, and dealing the knockback to enemies it hits, it would also be cool if it dealt more damage and knockback the faster it was, meaning that while you are able to turn, it deals a consistent minimal damage, until you release it, allowing you to direct it towards approaching enemies, and take advantage of their displacement to leap onto them.

Amber armor sounds really sick as well, but quite similar to Celeste's shield ability, I personally also think it would be cooler if instead of instantly immobilizing everyone hit by the amber explosion, the amber bursted out creating an AOE around Ami, that slowed and dealth low spirit-tick damage to enemies passing through it, until it dries, which then would immobilize them.

And the T-Rex ult sounds sick as hell, it would be cooler if you control it using available abilities though rather than just directing it and it randomly attacks all nearby enemies, all around, would be great to have just a giant fucking tank destroying the battlefield for a dozen or two seconds, wreaking absolute havoc.

Great idea, I really would be happy if it got added!

I was considering having 3015 take the Daptosaurus name, but I really liked the idea of them using their ID number for the cool real-world reference. Though them not seeing the point of a name and still using their ID number to introduce themselves, even if they use Daptosaurus for their species name, could still work.

Also, I liked your ideas for how to tweak their abilities. Honestly, I was considering having their abilities swapped for the T. rex's attacks, but I was just kinda lazy and didn't feel like figuring that out at that moment.

Thanks for the feedback.

If you want, I could make some ability charts for the abilities, and the T-Rex abilities?

Alright it took a bit, mostly because I was playing matches in between lmao. I did hide one reference inside the abilities numbers, I was originally going to make the T Rex's max health be 6000, but with it's available sustain options I figured that was too high, plus one of the first ever full T Rex fossils is specimen 5026, so I had to make that the maximum health lmao.

Ability One ^^^


Ability Two ^^^


Ability Three ^^^


Ultimate Ability ^^^

DINOSAUR ABILITIES:


Dinosaur Ability One ^^^


Dinosaur Ability Two ^^^


Dinosaur Ability Three ^^^
