Some form of upgrade to the basic slide ability. The slide is currently one of my favourite things about basic movement in Deadlock, and I'd love to see an item or two that you can build to make it more interesting or usable in certain situations. It's obvious that care needs to be taken in the design when there is other movement items like Kinetic Dash and Warp Stone already in the game, so my most immediate suggestions are more specific and situational.
First is an item that very slightly increases slide speed and length, but is significantly increases momentum and slide effectiveness down slopes. Makes you more slippery in specific parts of the map, but still has room for counter-play rather than becoming a get out of jail free ability. Probably tier 2.
Second would be an active item in the form of a new melee attack (a handspring kick? something goofy and exaggerated like that, lol) that can only be used while sliding. The attack should increase in damage either based on how far you've slid, or how fast you're currently moving. Probably tier 3.
Otherwise, I'd love to see any discussion about ways to change or mechanically impact sliding.
