Spirit buffing sliding item

[multiplemike]

Regarding sliding giving infinite ammo : I think it's unfair that such a good mechanic for gun carries is near useless for spirit. I want an item that provides a big benefit for spirit heroes for sliding while casting or something.

Eg time sliding doubles the cooldown rate for charged abilities. Increases slide distance like burst fire does.

But really anything could be good even just a flat spirit scaling for the next cast of ability similar to arcane surge

To be honest, this would end up more of an issue in favor of gun characters. Sliding is inherently a gun oriented feature, but since most characters aren't made to slide to an absurd extent, all characters get about equal value from it, unless you're Vyper. I think the issue would be that decreasing charge time while sliding, as well as a straight buff to slide distance would be more powerful on Wraith and Vyper than literally any other character, both of them like to slide a lot, and both of them have a charged ability with tons of low cooldown charges that they love to use while actively firing their gun, and they love to decrease charge time on. Ultimately I think the item going that route would just make those two characters even more powerful than they already are, but if it was instead so that sliding gradually increases spirit power to a certain max with the time slid, or even ability duration, that would be much more focused towards hybrids, and spirit characters respectively. Not a bad idea to add a spirit sliding item to be honest, it just would probably be best to not give it to charges.

That's true I dont know how to balance it at all but I think a sliding mechanic like that would be good to help more types of characters instead of only gun

Gonna write up my own post with an item for it I think. This idea has inspired me.
