Lady Geist needs a new ult.
Currently, it requires too little planning on her part and over-punishes her opponents. Every Geist just waddles into danger because they know their ult will cancel out any poor positioning and incoming damage. It's really boring to play against and compared to all other ults the method of counter-play is inconsistent.
Her lore is that she siphons the life out of people, right? Let's make that more literal and let her create a mimic of a target. She can now steal the power of others too make herself stronger and live longer (in fights anyways).
On cast; After channeling, the target loses 25% of their max health and spirit power for 10 seconds. They are also slowed.
On cast; A mimic of the targeted enemy is created next to Geist. This mimic behaves the same way as they do in sandbox and copies Geist's actions.
The mimic itself; Has 60% of the targets max health and spirit power. It's damage is also boosted by Geist's spirit power. It disappears after 15 seconds.
I don't think it needs to copy items. Just having an emergency team mate should be enough. It does require the Geist player to be familiar with every character's abilites to get the most out of it but I think that's a fair compromise for the potential power they get. I'm open to suggestions if you have other ideas!
