3k Upgrade to Return Fire (Total Cost: 4,250)

70% Bullet Fire Return (Improved from 60%)
50% Spirit Damage Return (Improved from 30%)
30% Bullet Resist when Active (Improved from 20%)
8% Less HP stolen from All Lifesteal Types (passive)
12% Less HP stolen from all Lifesteal types when Active (Total of 20% of lifesteal reduced)

At the end of the duration, the thorns explode around the user.
The thorns deal 20% of all damage taken for the duration of the effect as Spirit Damage.


In most scenarios, metal skin is better option. This allows for heroes to have an upgrade option to their Return Fire, which has been demonstrated to be awkward to balance as 1.25k item
Late game, return fire doesn't seem to do much as the auto attackers firing you down usually have enough life steal and damage to out heal the return fire damage.
