[Merc] Choker


(RazielRMA) #1

Real name:
Corson Stoughton

HP: 140
Sprint: 390

Q skill:
CS Grenade
Similar to Redeye’s smoke in the way it works. Throw, lands, gas. Gas damages similarly to Stoker’s molotov in that it causes damage over time. There are some differences in each. 1, the skill does damage over time, but only a small amount. As with a real CS grenade it is intended not to be a lethal tool, but a suppressant. 2, explosions won’t disburse. As with real CS it lasts until it settles (in this case the skill would be 10 seconds like the molotov). 3, to differentiate smoke from Redeye and CS, while the smoke cannot be seen through, the CS can be but visual effects of smoke in air. 4, DPS around 10 per second (this way it is a threat to stay standing in it too long for the injured or squishy otherwise people would meh and walk through it). 5, Also thinking slight blurring and weapon sway with the audio effect of coughing, or at least the coughing.

E skill: none

Bio:
Choker is the American born a self proclaimed rival of Stoker. Everything that Stoker does, Choker tries to best him at it. And so when Stoker left the service and became a merc, Choker soon followed suit. The difference is their skillset. While Stoker is a must listen when he talks about incendiary explosives, Choker should definitely be listened to when he talks about NBC (Nuclear, biological, chemical) weapons.

The idea is that he will be a slightly lighter version of Fragger who works defense and area denial rather than instant killing people with a grenade. For the most part I figure the skill itself is really only a minor hindrance to anyone just passing through, even with a blur and weapon sway and small amount of damage while in the cloud. At most they’d only take 20 damage. However the main idea is that people won’t want to stick around for the whole 10 seconds it’s up. Since it’s not nearly as much of an immediate threat, like the Stoker flames, nor does it prevent you from seeing past it (since it will be mostly see through with an effect of smoke floating in the air) like Redeye’s smoke, so I don’t think it really warrants needing disbursal. Plus realistically, blowing up CS really isn’t going to do anything to the CS.
(IMO, still better than Thunder…)

Was about to make a similar merc suggestion. Wanna check it out when I’m done?


(RazielRMA) #3

Sure. Seems like a few people had the same idea several times in the past, didn’t realize that until after I posted though, though most of the past ideas I saw weren’t very well thought out/too vague. I’d love to see what your idea is

Cosmetic ideas: Since the full blown gas mask is already taken by Stoker I’m thinking a respirator mask that covers the whole face would be better and you’d be able to see part of his face through the window part. Stoker’s probably bald from burning all his hair off or to prevent him from burning all his hair. With that I’m thinking Choker’s hair could be white due to an inability to produce pigment in his hair from prolonged exposure to various chemicals. Since he has prolonged exposure to NBC elements I don’t think he’d need a full hazmat suit. He would have built a bit of an immunity so wearing fairly normal gear similar to Fragger would be acceptable.

Nice, there are a lot of ideas to do with gas. I think its a good idea for area denial. What kind of area were you thinking this would cover?


(RazielRMA) #7

It’s hard for me to say exactly since I’m not 100% sure on the radius of other skills. Around the same size as Redeye’s smoke is probably fine.

So… it’s like a better Red-Eye smoke… with Molotov-like aoe effects… I sense a flaw here.


(RazielRMA) #9

Weak molotov-like aoe effect and no instant impact damage. And doesn’t obstruct the vision of those standing outside of it. Those in it can get out.
