[Hero Concept] Slork Rework (Abilities)

[12ganase]

I imagine Yoshi and the devs wanted an in and out slippery carry archetype that excels at repeatedly engaging and peeling over the course of a drawn out fight when they designed Slork. Here is my proposed rework for Slork.

Base Stats

1. Base Health - 420
2. Base Stamina - 2
3. Base HP Regen - 1.0

Abilities:

Shredding Undercurrent - After a short delay Slork releases a storm of water around him that deals damage to enemies and half the damage to himself. Removes negative effects on Slork.

- Damage(Spirit) - 90 + 1.1/Spirit Power​

- Cooldown - 10s​

- AoE - 5m​

- Cast Delay - 1s​

​

Upgrades:

1. Reduces cooldown by 5 seconds.
2. Applies a stacking 10% bullet resist shred for 15 seconds
3. Reduces self damage by 20%. Heals for 150 health per dispelled negative effect.

Notes:

- Applies the damage over a second in 10 ticks of damage. Each tick applies a separate instance of dispel. Each tick applies 1% bullet resist shred to enemies hit.​

- Self damage is not lethal and will leave Slork at a minimum of 1 HP.​

Harpoon - Slork fires a harpoon that latches to the first enemy it hits. On hit, Slork and his victim are quickly pulled towards each other.

- Applies light melee damage​

- Cooldown - 25s​

- Cast Range - 17m​

​

Upgrades:

1. Steals 1 stamina on hit
2. Reduces cooldown by 10s
3. Steals 25% fire rate on hit. Lasts 10 s

Notes:

- Slork and his target are pulled until they are within 3.5m of each other.​

- Can be cancelled mid-pull by Slork.​

- Harpoon projectile can be parried to block the damage and pull.​

- Slork restores Stamina even if the target is already at 0 when hit.​

- Reduces enemy stamina even when Slork already has full stamina.​

Lurker (Passive) - While out of combat Slork gains increasing movement speed, stamina regeneration and health regeneration bonuses over time. Builds up maximum bonuses after 7 seconds. Bonuses are lost over 7 seconds after entering combat.

- Max Move Speed - 2 m/s​

- Max Stamina Regen Bonus - 15%​

- Max Health Regen Bonus - 5 hp/s​

​

Upgrades:

1. Buildup time reduced by 2s
2. Additionally regenerates +1.5% of Slork's max HP per second
3. Doubles the minimum and maximum bonuses from Lurker

Notes:

- Lurker has 0.5s buffer time before Slork starts gaining or losing bonuses.​

- Can be cancelled mid-pull by Slork​

Depth Shroud (Ult) - Slork is shrouded in darkness gaining 50% bullet evasion. Slork is hidden from view and cannot be targeted with abilities. Instantly gains full Lurker bonuses when Depth Shroud is cast.

- Duration - 2.5s + 0.005/Spirit Power​

- Cooldown - 50s​

​

Upgrades:

1. Additional 1.5s Depth Shroud duration.
2. Additional 50% bullet evasion.
3. Become Unstoppable while Depth Shroud is active.

Notes:

- Lurker bonuses do not decay while depth Shroud is active​

- Slork can still be hit with melee, AoE and skill shot abilities while in Depth Shroud​

maybe they should also give him a passive that steals stats when he his people, so he scales up as the fight goes on!

Stat steal on-hit would be broken as fuck with Slork's semi auto shotgun. We can probably cap the stat steal but then why have it in the first place? If someone has a better way to implement that mechanic in deadlock please hit up the devs lol.
