Ricochet Hero
Inspired by Ricochet, a Valve source game.
Gameplay video:
Gun: Discs or Discus
This hero throws Discs, just like the game. The hero can alt-cast fire to shoot all discs in the magazine.
The hero gains a disc overtime but can still reload to fully refill their ammo capacity - but they can shoot while reloading to interrupt it...
The hero starts with 3 discs - which is very small amount of ammo but they reload their ammo so quickly and infinite ammo sliding exists. To balance though, these discs will deal a significant amount of damage compared to regular/average hero damage.
The discs ricochet up to 3 times, each bounce doubles the disc's damage.
Abilities:
1 - Triple Shot
charges.
The Triple Shot makes it so every time you shoot, it fires 3 shots, one in front of you, one at a slightly different angle to the left, and one at a slightly different angle to the right.
stacks with splitshot and ricochet
1 - alt-cast Fast Shot
charges.
Provides a buff that temporarily gives infinite ammo and the Fast Shot increases the disc speed (velocity), and firerate.
2 - Freeze Shot
The Freeze Shot, once hitting a player, will slow them down for 1/3/5/7 seconds. It also homes in on nearby targets, whilst not the most accurate, it makes it easier to hit shots.
2 - alt-cast Exploding shot
discs will explode on impact dealing weapon damage in an AOE.
3 - Power Shot
passive - If any unit has <3% HP, the Power Shot decapitates opponents every time they hit.
Each ability grants the hero a stacking buff for a given duration. At more than 3 stacks, the hero has visualize rebound.
Visualize Rebound shows the way all discs was going to go/will go/is going.
3 - alt-cast Curve Shot
gives a buff that temporarily changes discs into balls that curve, this may change your 'gun' and firing-style.
4 - Skyrunner Steel Beam
Skyrunner Steel Beam as a Golden Beam but at a greater distance, Freeze Discs can home towards the Beam and bullets Ricochet off the Beam.
4 - alt-cast Self Steel Beam
Put a Golden Steel Beam beneath yourself, which pushes you up above the Steel Beam, and you can shoot downwards to ricochet discs into the enemy, while buffing yourself.
Legacy 4 Ability:
4 - Bird shot
grants a buff to your hero that essentially works like Split Shot but more random or in a cone and in a greater AOE.
works with Triple Shot and splitshot and ricochet
4 - alt-cast - Buck Shot
grants a stacking buff to your hero that increases the bullet size.
