I think magic carpet is a super unique item and I want to buy it more but it's utility is often hard to justify at the price.
I recommend 2 changes to magic carpet as an item that would add some qol and depth to its implementation.
1. Magic carpet should control independently of the camera control.
It's clunky and while I understand that it may be an intentional limitation I think it would elevate rooftop engagements in current deadlock and for the price it is hard to get value out of other than rotation and disengage and would benefit from more versatility.
2. This would be the bigger change to the item:
Make magic carpet a standable platform for allies.
Haze can hitch a ride on mo while pursuing someone, lash can be taxi'd to a good position, ferry a teammate out of a bad position etc.
I think deadlock could benefit from some form of creatable/standable platform item in the air and I see an opportunity here with magic carpet. If you went this path with the item I could see duration nerfs or maybe a threshold of damage that could be taken before the carpet drops, like a percentage of the casters health.
I realize both changes in tandem may be too strong, but I see these both as viable changes to make a cool item much more viable within the current game.
