Minion Items

[kongkim]

I loved to play McGinnis, as her minion/turret build was a more unique playstyle than gun build, like so many other heroes.
But at the moment it is simply not worth it as the turrets are simply no good on their own and gun build is like 100 times stronger.

I'm pretty sure there will be more minion heroes in the game over time. So why not make some minion items to make the turret build possible without making it OP with both minions and guns?

500$ MINION FOCUS (Spirit Item).
Minions gain +30 Spirit power.
Minions and players gain +50 Spirit Shield.
Players get -15% Bullet attack speed.

3000$ MINION SUPERIORITY (Spirit Item).
Minions gain +70 Spirit power.
Minions gain +15% Fire rate.
Minions and players gain +150 Spirit Shield.
Players get -15% Bullet attack speed.
Players get -15% Bullet damage.

Something like that, stats ofc. need to be balanced out.
But that would make minion/turret builds possible without making the hero OP, and bring back turret-focused builds

I like the idea, though rn only McGinnis and Calico could use it. Turrets can be pretty tedious to fight as is, so it might not be fun to play against this item.
Maybe it could be a passive AOE? Where the buffs apply to minions within 20ms from the player. This could also buff the torch minion guys, which might be good in the early game for any support character.
To be fair, this would just be spirit Heroic Aura, but idk.
