Skirmisher Class Passive
The primary point of this point is truly to add or swap the passive of the skirmisher class. This class is composed of movement and aggressive play legends. We should be rewarded and incentivized to ...

@Slyvannis While I do agree a buff to the skirmisher perk is in order, I don’t think permanent cooldown reductions or even temporary ones are the way to go, especially given you would need to apply that to every legend equally. Octane already has no cooldown for his tactical, so it wouldn’t work for him, and Mirage’s cooldown is decently quick as well. The primary idea behind skirmisher legends is the ability to quickly get in and out of fights or move across the map. That means that resetting fights is a major component of how they are played. So, my personal suggestion is one of two things:
1) They can use healing items slightly quicker, allowing for them to get back into the fight sooner. Or,
2) They charge their Evo Shields at a reduced damage cost, allowing for them to get to a better shields quickly, and as a result charge it up more mid-fight.
For the first one, my reduction suggestions are .5 seconds off shield cells, 1 second off syringes and batteries, and 1.5 seconds off medkits and phoenix kits. For the second one, my reduction suggestions are 125 damage white->blue, 250 damage blue->purple, and 650 damage purple->red.
Solid concept, I'd totally accept that over what we have however I still like the cooldown reduction concept. For octane possibly affect his ultimate instead was my idea around that because let's be real Octane practically has 2 tactical with how fast he gets his pad anyway its like every minute that's 4x as fast as wraith gets her portal. Mirage's cooldowns for his abilities are busted lol if you can be thoughtful how you use em he naturally gets his ult like 2-3 times per 3v3 if it gets drawn out a bit.
Also objectively, Mirage shouldn't be a skirmisher but a support legend. With his escape potential and invisible revives he makes a ton more sense to put into that class. His abilities push more for distract the enemy and survive his ult makes it so easy for free beams for his teammates to take advantage of.
After all if you get a gold knockdown you wanna really give it to Mirage if you have him on the team. Sure Lifeline or Newcastle should get it first but I'd still give Mirage the goldknock before Gibby or Loba.
