Self damage focused flagellant support hero

[kweeks8739]

We already had the self damage dps/tank lady geist, and now we have the pure tank frank, but I would love to see a support focused around self damage.

I was thinking a flagellant character, perhaps with a passive that lets him gain healing from nearby allies dealing damage, or perhaps an aura that shares health regen and/or lifesteal, combo'd with an aoe heal/buff for allies that damages himself.

His ult could potentially be a balanced revive, if done right, and I thought about it more than the rest of the kit

Martyrdom - channel for 1-2 sec near a dead allies corpse to revive them giving them 75% of your current hp and you gain invulnerability and immunity to healing for 4 seconds.

I figure it should be a channel so its counterable by stuns/silences and because of it giving them your current hp you would want to be full hp before using it, but at risk of dying after the invulnerability wears off due to the anti-heal. perhaps maxing it out lets you revive 2 allies at once.

This is an interesting suggestion. The only similar option we currently have is the Geist's second that able to transfer her health to ally.

All the characters abilities are always benefit to the themselves. So there is no ability, that is a pure supportive. Because everyone should be able to play both in solo and team. So I think it would be quite a challenge to make similar ability kit, that would be useful not only for teammates, but for the hero too.

I am not against the heroes, which roles are already determined. But I think we won't see them in the game. This is the role of items - to define your role and gameplay.
