I have noticed that endgame support items are somewhat limited, and support items in general also feel limited in variety. As someone who likes to play support, it would be nice to have more options.
My favorite thing about Deadlock, and games like it, is the ability to be creative and break away from the meta of simply copying everyone else’s builds. With more variety in support items, the game could feel much more fun and expressive.
I thought an interesting Hero item for support could be one that involves sacrificing yourself for another player in order to save them. In a nutshell, it would let you transfer all damage a hero would take to yourself for a short time, with a separate self-cast option that transfers 50% of all damage your team takes within a 25m radius to you instead.
If you would die while under the effects of this ability, your respawn time would be reduced by 50%.
Thank you for reading, let me know your thoughts.
