Merc idea - slither the spawn expert

(Kirtap101) #1

Slither

‘shrink’ : The shrink ability is a unique trait to slither, once slither activates ‘shrink’, slither shrinks his hitbox to 1/4 its normal size, making him harder to hit.

‘Tele-phase’ beacon: the tele-phase beacon is a deployable that is unique to slither. once deployed, it allows slither and his teammates to respawn at the beacon, instead of at spaw:smile:

Primary Weapons: Blishlok (default), Crotzni, smg-9

Secondary Weapons: Selbstadt (default), Deagle, One of the smg secondaries

Melee Weapons: Combat knife (default), Kukri, Cricket Bat.

Health: 130

Speed: 390

  1. This isn’t overwatch
  2. Teleportation in 2020?
  3. With the way spawns work in dirty bomb, you could literally spawn your team behind the enemy spawn, and there’s nothing they could do about it. Don’t get me started on spawn shields and objective spawning.
  4. 1/4 is way too small, without a speed reduction he’d be flat-out overpowered. 3/4 would even be a bit much.
  5. Shrinking in 2020?
  6. Most of your merc ideas just don’t fit right in DB, they’d be better fit in OW

the only one is my guy with a baseball bat, but the mechanics (at least in theory) are slightly different. but ey, i know none of my ideas will end up in the game, but its fun to post stuff.

@Dysfnal teleportation have been done already done in 2014 ( quantum teleportation ) so maybe that would happen but certenly making a spawn any where else is op so maybe giving an area limit would be good so the teleporation would be used for embauch escapes maybe more

Brother…you are really just making Mercs out of your ass now. I know it’s fun to make ideas that could be in a game you love, but creating Merc takes imagination, creativity, game-knowledge, sense-of-setting, etc.

I respect you for your endeavors towards making classes, but please take a break, and take some time to think of a class that might actually be added!

with respect my friend, i find it fun coming up with ideas on the spot, yes some are bad, but do you think the dirty bomb characters that exist now were thought up straight away? there would have been millions of ideas before-hand. plus, its a forum for character ideas, and thats what im doing, IDEAS!!! no disrespect meant to you, i understand, but i will not stop, because i enjoy making ideas, and i will continue to do so.

I understand if you like them, but you put no thought into actual balance. You never use the brain of a real developer and what the community would say.

A lot of your ideas don’t fit dirty bomber or make sense.

Shrink:
psst, hey, there’s actually a secret ability in dirty bomb…it called…crouching…
also, there’s this super secret, highly classified data known only as…crouching…but behind cover…
in other words, no.

tele-phase:
no. reasons have been posted by others before me.

also…having ideas is good, but developing said ideas into something more is better.
