I just want to build around the kick! haha!

Love the concept, I don’t know about the kick though. He seems very close range and so sending enemies away seems a bit counter intuitive. Also a 7 second cripple is insane, that number would need to come way down lol

My thought process is that with his second ability since you slam them down in whichever direction you are facing you can position them however you want. Then kick them in that direction wether it's a nearby wall or into your own team so that you can seperate people from their team. If you bought something like Majestic Leap, warp stone, or phantom strike you could jump on an enemy kick them away from their team or just away from their side of the map, follow up with his 3rd ability to get close to them again and finish them off. The kick is intended more as a utility then a main damage source.

I forgot to include it in the post but for the 7 second cripple i was thinking that when you are carrying an enemy your team can't shoot them or something along those lines. But the 7 second cripple was very much a concept idea not a concrete part of his character.
