Re: Make Revenant more like in his trailer

@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?

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.

This is probably a terrible idea, that maybe no one would like. I am going to say it. What if, when you enter death protection, you turn into a shadow like from 2019 Halloween, with increased speed, decreased health, no guns, and a powerful melee attack. It could be a rushing tool, instead of just an extra life. Again, probably a terrible idea, but I think it could be interesting.
