Once again I want to highlight possible ideas on how to make Revenant both more effective and fun to play:1-Increase wall climbing height and speed, Remove the slowdown effect upon reaching his height limit. Revenant can climb ceilings. Stop climbing to stuck on walls/ceilings.2-Silence highlights enemies hit by it, Deals damage directly to health, Heal to full to disable highlighting. Silence also disable abilities cooldown during its duration.3-Upon activating death totem, You are still able to use your shield and to heal/Recharge. Turn into a shadow at will. Dying before 30s of activating the totem would instantly turn you into a shadow (Like the one in fight or fright event or in the beginning of the Revenants quest). Start with 50 HP. Return to the totem at will. Dying as a shadow would return you to the totem with 1 HP. Kills and downs as a shadow increase HP and extend duration. Increase totem range limit.4-Add Revenant voicelines from fight or fright event.

@Alphabets I hope they shift their focus to Crypto and Revenant once they are done with Octane

Absolutely not to all of it except the voice stuff cause who cares what he says during the game. He already moves faster crouched and now you ask for him to be spiderman. HE needs his tactical cool down nerfed or the time that the enemy is debuffed nerfed. He shoots that crap like its an automatic weapon.

This is all great and exactly what he needs, but the ultimate change is too confusing. I say just buff it to give you the speed and climb of the shadows from fight or fright, that would be perfection 👌

@SERPENT_DESCEND I can see 1 would be reasonable but 2 and 3 would just be breaking the game. 2 being the most broken, even if lore states that he is he really isn’t played as a recon character like BH or Crypto. 3 just doesn’t make any sense at all, you want him to have some protection after doing the ult? Not just some but when he is supposed to be downed his ult just kicks him into shadow mode. Fights don’t usually last more than a minute as well.

@Mogwai235I see that you are on every single Revenant thread hating on him, so I'm going to guess that you had one horrible experience and are raging. Revenant is not a hard legend to play against at all and he needs buffs. He has the 2nd lowest pick rate man.

@NagTheNaggy It's not confusing at all, Basically if you die within 30s of activating the totem, You would instantly transform into a shadow, And if You die as a shadow then you would return to the totem. I find this a lot more fitting with what Revenant can do since if you remember in fight or fright event legends would enter shadow form once they die and killing the shadows would only make them spawn again

It's really interesting that dreamteam.gg have no record of Revenant win rate after May 11th! I think with that sharp down slope, it went so low that they prefer not to report it. On the plus side, Revenant's play rate raised up to 2.8% this week, which is 0.1% more than Crypto!
Interestingly, other than Crypto, Octane with 6.5% usage is definitely going to get a rework/buff, but apparently Revenant will remain the least favourite champions among players and developers. Photos attached.
Nope! Instead they gave Revenant a new watermelon recolor skin! That's probably why it's played 0.1% more than Crypto XD

@ArctikShadow Can you explain why 2 is most broken? I'm all ears, Also why 3 doesn't make sense to you? Basically you activate your totem, Engage in a fight and when you die you transform into a shadow which can help you finish off your enemies or escape.

@Mogwai235 Basically what @NagTheNaggy said, Revenant needs a buff regardless of how you feel about him buddy.

@SERPENT_DESCEND I don’t know what you mean by highlighting but I’m guessing it would be the same as bloodhounds ult where the enemy appears red. Also you had that you wanted to disable ability cooldowns which it would seem a bit unfair for those who have only one charge compared to the others who have more like Wattson, Caustic, Bangalore. I would really add that and the highlighting ability can’t just stay there forever until the person heals or something. Revenant is mostly used to rush teams. 3 you’re basically giving the guy a 50 shield or more health if he uses the ult but doesn’t activate the totem.
