“Ssshh Let me focus…”

Role: Ghost

Primary Ability: Warp
Being usable instantly to jump this merc away from the frontline and dodge out of gunfights, this ability will teleport the player to a location aimed at with the warp pearl. This has a 15 second cooldown and will take 10 health away.

Secondary ability: Cut Throat
This ability allows you to sneak up behind the enemy and instantly kill them with your melee weapon, as a counteraction this will take at least 1.5 seconds and cause the player to scream; alerting any nearby team mates.

Tertiary Ability: N/A

Appearance: Similar to that of Tosh from Starcraft 2 http://imgur.com/uPlCBL1

So this merc would be able to teleport behind another merc and one hit them? That really doesn’t seem very fun for the victim considering there’s literally nothing they can do to avoid this; he can’t look out for it and catch spectre sneaking up on him because he just appears. While this idea isn’t bad, it just doesn’t seem fun for anyone not playing as him.

Maybe take away the second ability and just give him the katana or the kukri instead. Another potential suggestion for overall ballancing could be giving him less health in exchange for more speed and a faster cooldown on the teleport (like 8 seconds). That way his ability would be restrained more by a functional cooldown than an actual one; he would be able to do it often, he just wouldn’t want to.

I’ve heard warp abilities be suggested before, but I think the health loss parameter actually makes it balanced and interesting to play. I think if a character like this were done correctly, it would add a lot to the games especially in the ways of giving a unique alternative to Phantom for those who used to like him as a melee merc. What sort of weapons were you thinking he would have?
