Hero Weapon Concept: Delayed Gratification

[Rosgath]

This concept is one that I think is actually pretty neat.

The weapon fires in a syncopated rhythm instead of a consistent rate. First, it fires a single bullet then takes a brief pause, then fires a 4 round burst. The burst takes longer to release while moving.

It's a weapon that encourages you to constantly reposition, but to plan out where you choose to start laying down fire as it rewards standing still for short periods of time.

I would think this should be an item I'll make a post and show what I mean.

Sure! I based it off of another MOBA hero (Lyra, from Vainglory).

She doesn't fire a burst after a short delay, but her auto attack fires off in a 2 shot pattern, with the first shot being a light normal attack and the second one being a heavy shot that hits MUCH harder but requires her to stand still to use it. I figured the best way to translate that to Deadlock was how I described it above.
