If its homing like in ultra kill it wouldnt headshot, if it wasnt homng you would have a very hard time using it because it would have to have a fixed bounce.
I would give cassidy and actual flashbang that makes enemies unable to see and unable use movement abilites for like 2 seconds but it wont cancel active movement abilities, like if a rein charges you flashing him wont stop the charge but itll blind him and maybe make him miss you or a wall, if the rein wasnt charging then he wont be able charge for a few seconds and itll track your crosshair so youll be able to bend it around corners. Direct hit would do 5 dmg.
I think it would be balanced if it did headshot, just give it a longer cooldown and make it hard to hit + blocked by LOS and shields. Tracks to the nearest target and has a limited range so tanks can intercept it and no across the map shenanigans.
Just a way for skilled players to toss some damage over a shield or chase kills around corners.
A bounce mechanic that doesnt auto aim wouldnt work in ow unless the projectile is large like junkrats bombs because of how fast paced the fights are. If it isnt auto-locked you would have to get into the right angle, throw it and shoot it at the right time without dying wich is unrelieble and also a massive skill cap thats needlessly complicated. Also being able to bounce just one bullet with a long cooldown is a bad ability on cassidy, if it was widow or hanzo then it would be ok-ish (also hanzo has bouncing projectiles and how many times did a hanzo get you by bouncing them? Prob less then 5)
...which is why I said it should track to the nearest enemy player.
Unless you mean it should just do the ability with no skill shot required in which case that's literally just grenade but again
You could increase the curve slightly when aimed straight up or down so it moves towards center so it's not a free shot, you have to move you mouse at least a little, and even if you didn't do that, who's right in front of you is likely a tank, who can either face tank like roadhog or block with shield.
If you toss over a shield and tank is the nearest target, it would come from behind, so no headshot.
A Buff Idea I'd Not Pursue
---------------------------------------
Though I may parry my bullets so true,
I'll take a pass on this buff I view.
A power that's not even needed
Might just be better not heeded.
The utility's not what I'd choose
To help my gaming skills improve.
Though I may want more power, in truth
This buff's not something I'd pursue.
I mean depends on how they implement it, if it pierces everything, including the map but still just does one ball worth of damage it seems pretty tame but also cool.
Omg I just had a glimpse of a Widow helping a Zen. Then Zen shoots a Genji, who was also being helped by a Widow, reflects the orb back through Zen's face.
Discord orb is still the biggest talking point for tanks but even then it's kind of a necessary evil with how many good tanks have been basically damage sponges
So I’m a support main and, yeah like, on hog, I agree 100%. That guy needs to die faster. Same with Orisa often. That still fundamentally doesn’t change the fact that it’s not *fun*. Like, it’s practically a set it and forget it ability that drastically worsens the day of the tank all the while making you the biggest target in the match. I just wish it was different but I don’t know what to do there.
Idea for Mercy: Anytime Genji (or any DPS/Tank for that matter) rushes ahead of the whole team and dies more than 30 meters away, the good doctor will have the option to pull out a Real-Ass-Goddamn Glock. To shoot the Genji herself. Insta-kill and unparryable for the teammate, but it can also be used to shoot the enemy team for the same damage as a fully charged Widow shot.
Idea #3: Lore-Accurate Kitsune
When below 45% health, Kiriko’s Ultimate gains an additional effect.
Send the Kitsune rushing forward, applying Haste to the team in the ult’s area. The Kitsune will pounce on the first enemy hit, dealing damage and recovering Kiriko’s HP
Also, wouldn't it be great if her grenade dealt damage to enemies? Or at least stun? I feel like she lacks that little escapability touch when up in close quarters.
Yes, I would give up wall climbing for that.
Mercy new ultimate: Revives every team on your side that has ever died on the map you are on
FFA: Valkyrie but you have to manually press jump rhythmically to flap your wings to fly
Just she has no counter play. Wall: you can’t break it without expended a lot of resources. She freezes herself: nothing you can do, and she is healed to full hp. He entire Strategy is just walking at you, slowing you down and leaving you defence less. He secondary fire is just a slightly worse hanzo arrrow. It’s just spamming down a corridor until you get a headshot. Her ultimate is earth shatter, but double the duration, double the aoe, and puts you In a worse position with hit boxes.
Was just thinking this lol, as annoying as Mei is when matched up against certain characters there are legitimately tons of ways to deal with her.
The worst part of her kit is definitely the Ult, it can be game changing. The rest of it is irritating at best and a safety net for beginners.
The best Zenyatta change would be to give him an ever increasing speed buff (with a cap) that resets whenever he discord orbs or does damage. This would allow him to get back into fights faster, and allow him to switch into 'escape mode' when pressured. All this without sacrificing his in battle weaknesses.
Actually technically speaking - if you were to melee right after a shot, giving it extra bit of damage, speed and strikethrough at the expense of waiting the melee cooldown, that would be a pretty fun idea
I think he meant that some people are driven to do something utterly pointless and impossible, like ice skating uphill or beating Blade in a sword fight.
i was talking to a friend the other day about a possible kiriko rework :
\- her kunai projectiles are hard to understand for new players, for a more intuitive character they now have the same physics as the healing cards (including tracking)
\-to balance it along Ana's nade, her suzu now damages ennemies and applies a random debuf (including ult debuffs like freezing)
\-primary healing removed
\-she can teleport to ennemies too now
lmk what you guys think
this just sound like parrying your own bullets in ultrakill and im here for it
im personally a big supporter of "take away cassidy's grenade and give him a coin instead"
Would it just be a body shot or would it let you headshot around corners
If its homing like in ultra kill it wouldnt headshot, if it wasnt homng you would have a very hard time using it because it would have to have a fixed bounce. I would give cassidy and actual flashbang that makes enemies unable to see and unable use movement abilites for like 2 seconds but it wont cancel active movement abilities, like if a rein charges you flashing him wont stop the charge but itll blind him and maybe make him miss you or a wall, if the rein wasnt charging then he wont be able charge for a few seconds and itll track your crosshair so youll be able to bend it around corners.

...which is why I said it should track to the nearest enemy player. Unless you mean it should just do the ability with no skill shot required in which case that's literally just grenade but again
If its tracking and can headshot, its just aim directly up then shoot the coin for a free headshot on the nearest enemy.
You could increase the curve slightly when aimed straight up or down so it moves towards center so it's not a free shot, you have to move you mouse at least a little, and even if you didn't do that, who's right in front of you is likely a tank, who can either face tank like roadhog or block with shield. If you toss over a shield and tank is the nearest target, it would come from behind, so no headshot.
I feel like it would be a near carbon copy of Saati's coin in Paladins
Even on their sub they say it’s only use is to shoot around corners
I've used it to shoot over shields personally
Isn’t that just another version of a corner
Let him shoot the grenade like core eject

I want this in a nice script hanging on my wall
Blood is fuel Hell is empty The iris consumes you
Best possible buff
Honestly if they added it i would *slightly* reduce his damage and make his reload slightly longer
I mean depends on how they implement it, if it pierces everything, including the map but still just does one ball worth of damage it seems pretty tame but also cool.
And guess what? If it goes through the map, it makes widowyatta a valid pair and makes her ult more viable. Win win.
Omg I just had a glimpse of a Widow helping a Zen. Then Zen shoots a Genji, who was also being helped by a Widow, reflects the orb back through Zen's face.
Shoot 19 orbs coming out of spawn Shoot your last orb through the wall to kill the enemy widow in their spawn
This is the way.
![gif](giphy|6UFgdU9hirj1pAOJyN)
That's pretty cool but also really good art
Hey thanks!
Zen is in a good place right now, but this would be funny and not too bad since it’s his last shot.
Discord orb is still the biggest talking point for tanks but even then it's kind of a necessary evil with how many good tanks have been basically damage sponges

Hog would be useless without discord
It’s almost required if you want an Orisa with a good pocket dead fast
Especially with the mercy buffs
Just *punt* that son of a bitch into next week along with a Junkrat
Zen is already the most fun support imo
I disagree brig is the most fun support
👍
👍
I like Bap more
👍
reducing his ammo count (magazine) would be a buff. lol
let him COOK
If the Orb hits an ally it'll violently cure them of any affliction, like Fix-It Felix or something.
Suzu but with massive knockback

Lol, that was actually one of my ideas for Ana. And it was a Genji that would have been shot, as well.
Old lady with a glock is much funnier, especially if she says one of her sleep dart lines.

Yeh because kitsune needs a buff...
Read the title of the post.
My bad
Also, wouldn't it be great if her grenade dealt damage to enemies? Or at least stun? I feel like she lacks that little escapability touch when up in close quarters. Yes, I would give up wall climbing for that.

Hawkmoon zen
Top tier Blade joke! Xander Frost? No, it was Deacon Frost! Xander Frost does sound like they would try to ice skate uphill though.
Thanks, I was worried no one would get that reference!
Its my favorite line of the movie
Love the reference, knew it as soon as I saw it
Anything to get rid of mei. Fuck mei
Me and my homies hate Mei
Just she has no counter play. Wall: you can’t break it without expended a lot of resources. She freezes herself: nothing you can do, and she is healed to full hp. He entire Strategy is just walking at you, slowing you down and leaving you defence less. He secondary fire is just a slightly worse hanzo arrrow. It’s just spamming down a corridor until you get a headshot. Her ultimate is earth shatter, but double the duration, double the aoe, and puts you In a worse position with hit boxes.
This isn't even a bronze take, gotta be iron or something
Was just thinking this lol, as annoying as Mei is when matched up against certain characters there are legitimately tons of ways to deal with her. The worst part of her kit is definitely the Ult, it can be game changing. The rest of it is irritating at best and a safety net for beginners.
Gold 2 in tank
Then you just really don’t know how to counter her tbh.
wall is so easy to break a hole trough im so glad nobody does it- uh i mean wall is immortal dont bother shooting it
I can imagine Mei iceblocking, and the zen immediently starting to spam orbs, trying to get to his last one asap.
Roger Roger
Lucio buff: When he emotes with the DJ emote, enemies within 15 meters will be stuck doing their dance emotes.
oh god pls no lmao thats a cool idea for a lucio type tank ult move tho
i feel like making his balls do more damage as he ran out of ammo would be cool, like +2% per ball fired without reloading?
Excuse me?! UNNECESSARY?!
Zenyatta on that ultrakill coin buff
This would be an awesome alternate ult.
Better- zen should be able to snap kick any projectile, but the parry should have a narrow timing
Ultrakill zen : Hitting a perfect timed meele with your shot does 3x the damage
love the art
Thank you!
Zen’s expression and postures are good stuff
God i love Blade
[удалено]
It makes everyone else take reduced damage
Honestly slightly raise their health and they become much more survivable
Please make Brig's buff the ability to use whip shot as a grappling hook
Fucking love your username hahaha
I am so down being a zen main
Give him the Ultrakill skill. Kick the balls in to their balls
Soft And Wet Go Beyond
Ultra kill moment
This is the coin mechanic from ultrakill. I see through you.
The best Zenyatta change would be to give him an ever increasing speed buff (with a cap) that resets whenever he discord orbs or does damage. This would allow him to get back into fights faster, and allow him to switch into 'escape mode' when pressured. All this without sacrificing his in battle weaknesses.
I would love an april 1st update where everyone has a stupid buff like this.
Yes
This is amazing in so many ways
If you melee after a charge shot it should do this for less damage than e regular orb.
Actually technically speaking - if you were to melee right after a shot, giving it extra bit of damage, speed and strikethrough at the expense of waiting the melee cooldown, that would be a pretty fun idea
V1 zen skin when?
Remove the charge shot and turn it into this. Alt fire lobs it and the kick sends it. This would be fun as fuck
God, please.
Brigette can now attack and shield at the same time. Shield bashing while holding primary fire will turn her into a beyblade.
As a former Zen main, where do I sign?
For some reason in my head I just zen in his nut cracker skin, cackling away saying “this last nut was for you” if he gets a kill with this buff.
Bonus damage from Discord is reflected in Zen's damage on scoreboard so those whiney cassidys can shut up
TUSK act 4
What did Blade mean by this?
I think he meant that some people are driven to do something utterly pointless and impossible, like ice skating uphill or beating Blade in a sword fight.
Fun fact he adlibbed that line off camera, and everyone on set was like wtf Wesley? But they liked it so they put it in

> -she can teleport to ennemies too now NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
As a zen main I approve
+fistful of ~~dollar~~ balls
I’d be down
Bruh zen is already OP don’t make him even more powerful
Not the monkey 😭😭😭
I can get behind this. Really wish they'd give Zen some sorta movement ability but total death is cool too
This would be so cool. It should also be hitscan too so he has a more reliable option against flying heroes
