Been wanting to rework heros and switching them into different roles. Had a post about this yesterday and I had 2 suggestions for role switching. MrHaxYourUlt suggested tracer and DXBEE2017 suggested symmetra.
Tracer
Pulse Pistols No longer fully automatic but have more range and damage. Essentially turned into Halo Magnums.
Blink Dash forward in time and ram yourself into enemies. This will damage and push enemies back. Anyone hit by you will temporarily be burned from the speed of the attack.
Recall: Removed
New ability: Blitz You overcharge your chronologically accelerator to affect your allies. For your nearby teammates you will increase movement speed, reload speed and fire rate. Essentially a mini kitsune rush. For Tracer alone there is a chance to “dodge” any incoming damage.
Pulse Bomb You drop a bomb that will explode after a short time. Any enemy hit by it will take damage and will have movement speed, fire rate and reload speed slowed down. Opposite kitsune rush.
Symmetra
Photon Projector Fire small blasts of hardlight that will explode on impact. If charged you will unleash a beam that can go through shields and can burn enemies, however this will consume a significant amount of energy.
Sentry turrets Create turrets that will hover above you that can either damage or protect yourself and teammates. They can be destroyed. Max turrets 2
Turrets configuration Choose between damaging turrets that will blast hardlight energy or defensive turrets that will project a mobile shield infront of you. If both turrets are out, damaging turrets will have a higher fire rate and defensive turrets will give a stronger and larger shield.
Ultimate (couldn’t think of a good name) Unleash 4 more turrets for a balance of damage and protection. 3 defensive turrets and 3 damaging turrets will be active at the same time. Higher fire rate and bigger shield pretty much from your turrets.
Had a bit of trouble thinking of ways to make them tanks but glad with the ideas I ended up with. I’m sure there would be problems with balancing them so I didn’t have any exact numbers for them since I’m not smart enough for that. Had fun doing this and would like to do more. Don’t have to be role switches, they could just be reworks so I’d like to hear more suggestions. I’d also like to hear some feedback on my ideas and maybe a few ideas of your own.
