Item Idea - Twisted Wristwatch

[evanman321]

Did you just speed yourself out of spawn and accidentally slingshot yourself into the enemy team? Maybe you got swapped by a Paradox standing next to their entire team? Or maybe you need a quick in and out engage?

A new 6k item called the Twisted Wristwatch would help you turn back time and retrace your steps.

Twisted Wristwatch
Vitality - 6200 Souls

+1 m/s Move speed
+100 Spirit Shields

Active (100 Seconds)
+200 Bullet Shields
+200 Spirit Shields
Reverse all movement made in the last 5 seconds at twice the speed it took to make the movement. (2.5 second channel)

You cannot attack and are vulnerable to being damaged during the reversal. So you can still die if you're being focused down.

I like the idea but doesn't this seem like it'll offer too many offensive options for various characters? As a couple of examples from the top of my head: Lash slamming from a high location, turn back, slam again, or Yamato slashing, ult, grapple, slash, rewind to get in and out. Maybe this would be a mechanic limited to a hero's kit.

As long as the item doesn't resets cooldowns, its a nice ultimate-like movement skill to have, for both offensive and defensive play.
