The first ability should be an ult.

It removes heroes too many heroes from the game without counter play (a debuff can be purged, a disarm can be avoided).

If you block a Haze ult, you will just one shot the next person you punch.

Good point, could probably either give it a damage cap for bonus damage from bullets, or swap it with Shield Toss for the ult (And Toss only pulls in bullet if Shields Up is active) if needed.

It does have some counter play though, in that you can shoot him in the back or just not shoot him with bullets for the 3s his shield is up.

Hey! I saw this post the other day. I think this is really brilliant. I like what you see with the mechanics that are already a part of the game. I'm not like an expert at FPS or anything, but when I came to Deadlock I felt that it has been really cool that everything is a projectile. The only contrast that I really have is knowing that soldier 76 uses hit-scan attacks, and that is likely in part the result of reducing system load. Neither am I an expert at coding, but I imagine that storing so many bullets in what I can only imagine are RAM could be memory intensive. There's likely a convenient kind of conversion you can do to sell these types of abilities for the game without requiring so much system load.

Really brilliant concepts, though. I love the idea of your bullets becoming little bombs. I also really like the idea of a bullet magnet.

Thanks, and good points.

I was thinking about only have the bullet pull be active during Shield Throw, and maybe release all bullets/nails stuck to the shield in a circle instead of all at the target. I think that should be a lot more fair, and look pretty good when it lands.

打扰一下各位。我希望能增加类似 Dota2影魔一样的英雄或者是伊利丹，还有英雄联盟那种亚索英雄。
