I know that there's a dedicated forum for the Hero Labs heroes but those seem to be closed right now which is why I'm making a post here.
Let me start off with the idea for the third ability. I call it "Bullwark".
Raven uses his umbrella to create a bullet proof shield in front of him, this prevents him from using the umbrella to shoot and he is also slowed down.
I'm not quite sure what the exact order of upgrades would look like but I envisioned that eventually Raven ricochets/reflects back the bullets shot at him while his umbrella shield is out.
This could play into fun mind games and counters to heroes like Wraith, Haze and Ivy with high firing speed or be used in a support build to shield your team behind you by extending the reach of the umbrella for e.g. or by giving a buff to players "behind" the umbrella.

As far as the second ability "Umbrella Maneuver" is concerned I currently find it rather vague and hard to use. When I see raven and his cool umbrella gun I instantly thought of Mary Poppins which led me to my next idea.
Changing the second ability to still launch Raven in the air, however he now slowly drifts and glides around with his umbrella. If he then triggers the second ability again, instead of shooting an explosive bullet he folds up his umbrella, points it down and slams it into the ground, inflicting damage, a stun effect and potentially more.
I'd love to hear your opinions on this.
