Revenant Heirloom Idea?

It would be so cool if Revenants Heirloom was a Wakizashi (small Katana or the smaller blade that is paired with a Samurai or Swordsman's Katana). Do it justice! I believe in you.

Hitbox fix will be only for having a fair game, it's still lack competitive qualities. His silence still has it's own problems, it's covering a very small area while at the same time block everyone's sight (mostly revenant player themselves).
I was/am a big fan of revenant, but looking at his abilities for a competitive game, I believe it can never replace pathfidner, wraith, watson or gibby. Such champions have great mobility options to benefit both themselves and teammates or they can hold a large area and work perfectly as defensive.
Revenant can't hit and run like wraith or pathfinder, it can not offer any significant value that one can say okay, revenant is better than for example wraith for competitive play.
Yes, his balls (tactical) designed to counter gibby, path, wattson, but in reality, using balls and rushing is very risky and usually backfire in a serious match.
"Buffs" were actually fixes so make it playable, honestly I wouldn't call it a "buff". Gibby's buff in past seasons was actual "Buffs" that turn him from ashes to a great peak for competitive games with fast revive, fast heal, fortified, shield. That's why Revenant is B tier.
At the end of the day, instead of listening to what I'm saying, please just watch previous Global Series Games (at least just one of their matches, it was last week I guess) on youtube and then judge for yourself if Revenant has any place in any of those teams.

@Alphabets I cant not agree with you that this wont be the end of his buffs, and that hes not nearly as competitive as the other legends that you mentioned. Im not saying that just fixing his hitbox will move him from B Tier to S but maybe A. On a competitive level he would have to be paired with a Gibby or Wattson and a Path or Wraith. However I think his Ult could be very useful in end circle situations.

@XAXA_XADDY I understand your point. I personally like him and I’m not trying to undermine his abilities, but we should be a bit more fair.
All of his abilities: passive, tactical, ultimate are very situational.
Passive is almost totally useless in open fields. Tactical will force you to spay instead of aim in close range fight (block your sight) and doesn’t affect all champions the same. Ultimate can put you in a very vulnerable situation if you don’t die on time and in best case you and other teammates will still lose 50% health using it.
Let’s not compare it with S tiers like Wraith, Gibby, etc and compare it with Bangalore as a A/B tier which has much smaller hit box, tactical that let you run faster in case of danger; smoke tactical that can work as both defensive and offensive and deals 11 damage on hit and finally an ultimate that can damage enemies and make them move or hide and won’t cost 50% of your or teammate’s health.
Do you think fixing Revenants hit box (“If” they fix it) can make it a better than medium champions like Bangalore? Personally, I think it’s not very likely.
