I was thinking the current roster is missing a bard or musician-type hero, so I came up with the idea of having a dive bar/lounge jazz singer who is really a siren from the deep. They could have a connection to Viscous and we could get some more lore about the deep.
All their abilities would be music/sound related:
Their 1 could be a supersonic burst, a sort of basic AOE caster attack which on hero hit could reduce their outgoing spirit damage or something.
Their 2 could be some sort of movement ability themed around musical runs and slides and could refresh their stamina and either give them a jump and path to slide on or something like that.
Their 3 could be a little tune which when targeting allies heals them and increases their resistances and/or movement speed or restores stamina if we're feeling really spicy, and when targeting enemies slows them and reduces their resistances and/or drains stamina which would also be a tad spicy.
No siren-themed hero would be complete without a captivating song, so for the ultimate/4 I think it would work best as a sort of AOE cone which stuns enemies and makes them walk in the direction of the siren/songstress for the duration.
They don't have to be Celeste's ex, but I think it would be fun if the mermaid and the unicorn used to date haha
Obviously, I trust Valve to come up with great characters and balance them with the rest of the game, I just thought this was a fun idea after listening to some Ella Fitzgerald and other 1940's-1950's jazz, and thought the music and design teams would have a blast making this design come together haha
