Merc idea - Jocko the basher


(Kirtap101) #1

Jocko is the worlds best baseball player - well, at least he thinks he is. he knows how to manipulate his bat, that’s for sure! he now uses all his skills to intimidate his foes. he is armed with ‘jenny’ his baseball bat, and dont worry, he has his balls with him too. he has a pressure point on his head that, when smashed hard enough, makes him stronger,

Ability: ball stun: Jocko has the ability to launch a baseball hurtling towards his enemies. once hitting an enemy, the ball causes them to become very inaccurate for 2 seconds and also causes enemies to become 15% slower for 2 seconds.

secondary ability: headache: Jocko smashes a baseball against his head, activating his pressure point, taking 20 health, but giving him highly increased accuracy (by 30%) for 5 seconds and an increase to his movement speed and aim speed (by 10%) furthermore, he has a massive increase to his melee swing speed (50%).

cooldown: 20 seconds - 2 balls

Health: 110

speed: 390 (410 with buffs)

Primary Weapons -
BR-16 (default), Driess AR, Remburg

Secondary Weapons -
selbstadt (default), Deagle, Smuth and westman

Melee Weapons -
Baseball Bat (Called Jenny, Default), Cricket bat, Kukri

Info on Jenny, the baseball bat - A mix between the Cricket bat and the Katana, it is stronger then the cricket bat with normal swings, however, its right-click attack does less damage then both of them. it is fast swinging like the Katana, but not nearly the damage, as stated earlier.

At first glance it seems like a scout rip-off, but the mechanics are actually quite interesting, he sounds like a fun merc to play, but I don’t know if he quite fits into DB

Increasing an enemy’s bullet spread might be really not-fun for some mercs: making snipers un-playable and shotguns even less viable at mid range.

People yelled that phantom shouldn’t be melee oriented. - In the case of this merc, I sort of agree.

I must agree that this sounds like a TF ripoff… and Im sorry but I think it doesnt even fit in the game… I mean sure, we have some “crazy” mercs with their quotes but this is just too much.

bashing yourself in the head with a baseball bat makes you…shoot straighter, run faster and swing faster…okay…

its supposed to be confusing, it was an idea i had while i was falling asleep in my english lesson, i felt like bashing my self in the head with a baseball bat.
