Pestis (the disease ridden)

I know I over- and under-tuned almost everything so everything will need a rework before it could even make it in the game the numbers are just things that sound balanced and aren't balanced at all​

Lore

Pestis is a character that is feared by the masses as he spreads diseases old and new at a rapid rate and not only that. The diseases personally spread by Pestis are mysteriously more deadly and evolve faster then thought possible. His goals are unknown but many are sure that he is up to no good. As many that stumbled upon him would confirm, if they were still alive that is. Pestis is a rarely seen figure and could be mistaken for just another cloaked criminal from far away and were it not for his foul stench from up close to.
Pestis himself isn't "evil on purpose" as he just likes insects and diseases more then normal people and tries to literally make friends that share the same hobbies as him even if that requires force to do so. This need to be reworked though.

Vitality

Pestis is similarly tall as Abrams but looks a lot fatter as he is quiet bloated and only moves at speed when he wants to make new "friends".

Shoot 5 quick burst of flying insects and do a good amount of damage before you can do so again.
Secondary fire shoots less insects per beam dealing 1/2 the damage and having the same ammo consumption. These may do less damage but they also inflict the

why did I spend like 5 hours on this even though it probably wont make it into the game idk
 
It would take a bit of focus for me to figure out the exact playstyle and numbers here but I think I get the character idea and I like it.

I just want a hero that you actually dont want to be close to and cant just run over + one that actually can hold the front line for a bit
 

Ability 3 - Breath of Pestis (Passive)

Upgrade 3if every conditon is met do 3x dps to the target
