Make Revenant more like in his trailer

So I have been playing Revenant a lot lately and have come to notice, that he now feels like he is just there to silence people.

Since I really loved the trailer and how he was presented I thought of some changes that I think would reflect the play style shown in the trailer more.

Passive:

- add that possibility to charge up a higher jump (*1)

Tactical:

- reduce the silence duration from 20 down to 10 sec per charge

- increaset the damage to 15 per charge

Ultimate:

- remove the health cap (*2)

- users gain a speed boost while in shadow mode (*3)

- users gain Revenant's passive while in shadow mode (*4)

- remove / reduce the blind when killed in shadow mode (*5)

- (optional) Revenant gains greatly increased climbing speed while in shadow mode

*1: In combination with his climb allows him to more easily clumb tall buildings (as shown in the trailer).

*2: The reason I want to remove this is since you are engaging the enemy while they have up to 125% more HP than you, it is more likely for them to kill you before you kill them and the last thing you want to do after you chunked the enemy is having to heal up, giving them time to heal up as well and thus technically getting no value out of that ult.

*3 / *4: These changes are to increase the usability of the Totem and really encouraging your team to use the totem and push as one. Again these changes are also supposed to make Revenant more like he is displayed in the Trailer. (And I think it would be way more fun to play as and with Revenant)

*5: This is more of a quality of life change since the blind feels quite kind and is quite annoying. (Perhaps it could be changed from a complete white screen to a flash similar to the one you get when leaving the ult circle.).

Please do leave feedback to these changes since I am not quite sure if this would make Revenant to powerful, although I think I did a quite decent job on balancing my Ideas.

@PixJa Many of these could work, but they definitely couldn't all be implemented.
Revenant is in a good place now, and he doesn't really need a buff.

@PixJa Revenant is in a good place right now, However I think he could use a little speed buff while he is in shadow form. The idea of other legends getting Revenant passive when they enter shadow form won't be a bad idea I think.

@PixJa The bright flash is to hide the transition from the place you died to the totem I think, it's probably more mechanical than cosmetic so I doubt they can remove it.

And what do you mean by "remove the health cap" exactly?

Yea sure i totally agree but I just feel, that when I'm playing him I don't really use his ult and instead just silence the enemy Wraith / Path to death with my total 40 seconds of silence instead going for a more tactical approach with my team and ult.
He really doesn't need a buff but more like a change.
In general I think, that he is way to focused on his tactical and his ult.

When you die while in shadow mode you regain health equal to the amount you had when entering, up to a max of 50 HP.
So there is a hard cap at 50 HP which some what "forces" you to heal up after if you don't want to risk dying faster.

@PixJa Well, if there was no cap, then they would respawn with full health, and that's a bit too strong.

Also, if you silence someone like Wraith or Pathfinder, focus them down since they can't escape.

Hmm... fair point.

I really hope they consider as least on of these options for his ultimate:
1. Returning to the totem anytime you want
2. Being able to use totem more than once (if you died fast and returned, it let you enter shadow mode for the second time)
3. Always returning to totem with 50 HP, even if your health before entering the shadow mode was less than 50

1. Could work. It wouldn't be too strong, more like a minor buff.
2. That'd be a little too strong as well. Unless they do some counterbalance thing, being able to reuse the ult would be kind of op.
3. Maybe. Definitely could work as a minor buff. (Although if you were above 50 hp would you go down?)

I agree with @Sir_Named that reusing it would kind of overtune him.
With my changes I was aiming for Revenant's ult to be more of an engage tool, that makes his mates benefit from his mobility.
They then can rush the enemy as a group of these highly mobile but quite squishy group of shadows that don't just get outplayed by a dude with a standing on a building with a sniper or wingman.
