Would you want a teleporting merc?

In mercenary suggestions there are a lot of people who want a teleporting mercenary. Would you like to see it in dirty bomb?

Like the one in Overwatch? Where she can like teleport? I’m not exactly sure but I sure can see experienced players just wrecking everyone with the ability and people calling for nerfs.

Teleporting sounds pretty messed up, also doesn’t fit in my views of an FPS game.

I think it would break the game, there really is no way to balance teleportation unless done… well like TF2 has it, but even then it’s pretty useless since we’re almost always spawning at the front of the fight. If it was an ability then it would be broken since people could just flank an entire team without them knowing, people should be rewarded for their defense, if it can be passed this easily then it’s not fair.

No. Just no.

I think “teleporting” in itself would be completely broken.

My first thought of this would be jumping to a location you set yourself, (ie. dropping down a warp-becon, or something) then running out of cover to shoot, and with the push of a button, you can warp instantly to it - usable once per placement, as it destroys the point upon jumping to it.

Perhaps a cooldown of 40 seconds sounds fair, and make it so that once you’ve dropped the “becon”, you will be automatically teleported to it if you go too far out of it’s range (because lets face it, wondering off too far than jumping back would be ridiculously unbalanced).

Also, in hind-sight, I should have picked “It depends on the specification”, not “As long as it’s not OP”… :s

Yes, I would definately want to see a teleporting mercenary someday.
Preferably someone who’s on my side.

Not in Dirty Bomb though.

As long as the enemy has some way of seeing a teleport coming.

This sounds like something that could get terribly overpowered… it’s just giving me a NOPE feeling.

Yes I would, as long as that merc had a short TP range only useful for close combat confusion and a fairly reasonable cooldown time.
