Help me create a legend who’s abilities revolve around camouflage

If I had to guess Mirage is supposed to be the camouflage legend. That said, I think there is room for another camouflage based legend. How ever this legends abilities would impact the team, instead of just the legend. 

what would be reasonable but not OP for his ult, passive and tactical?!

I was thinking the ult could make the team invisible for a specific amount of time, in a specific radius if the squad mates are in the radius when it’s triggered they are invisible. They only stay invisible if they do not move. If they move to reload guns, pop shields or heal then they become slightly more visible with a blurring effect.

the passive for the legend would be to slightly blend in with surroundings when stationary. The visibility rate would have to be toyed with and adjusted. But enough so that the legend is not huge noticeable, but not so much that they are invisible. 

tactical I’m not sure about yet. 

counter to this legend would be bloodhounds ult and tactical or cryptos drone scans.

  • Could make the ult a throwable smoke bomb, which creates a brief smoke screen and any friendlies in it's a.o.e are set with the invis. This way you could help an out of reach teammate by throwing a bomb on them.

    For the invis itself, I'd say it stays active for longer and is more effective the slower you move. Standing still or crawling makes you completely invis, sprinting makes you have a similar visibility to old school Mirage invis. Firing, healing or reviving/self reviving rapidly reduces the invis time. Let's say the max time it lasts is about 5 seconds. Complete invis can be picked up by Bloodhound. Cryptos' drone will not pick up complete invis.

    Their passive could simply be that she doesn't make any footstep sounds while she's invis or in smoke. Or keep with your camo idea, but it is only effective if an enemy is not looking directly at you (this one works better for my tactical suggestion).

    As for the tactical I've got two suggestions.

    A) you throw down a sound jammer, which produces a static sound to disrupt the enemy's audio if they are within a certain range of the jammer. The jammer can be easily seen and destroyed and lasts for about 10 seconds on its own.

    B) you throw a sticky concussion mine which detonates on proximity. Concussed enemies have disoriented vision, disrupted audio, and are unable to sprint for a brief time, while the legends camo passive is more effective against concussed enemies. The mine takes a second or two to prime once landed, can be easily seen and shot and has a very small radius of effect. Only one mine can be placed at a time.

  • @DarthValtrex I already have a heavily camouflaged legend. Wraith in a midnight skin, along with all the guns i use. She's small and you'd be surprised how easily she is passed by in the heat of battle 😃

    But saying that maby your legend could have a suit like the alien in the predator film and the suits use of total chameleon would be its ult for say 10 seconds.

    A cool passive for a legend would be to allow the legend to become semi invisible(like mirage pre cloak buff) whilst not moving firing or using any consumable. Perhaps with a slight spool up time,so that you have to be stationary for a few seconds before it kicks in.

    As a sniper this would be immensely handy.  😛

    Passive - Still as night - While not moving and looking down a sight LEGEND will become semi invisible, however will still show up on threat scopes.

    Tactical - Double vision - For 7 seconds LEGEND projects a copy of themselves to their left or right, unlike decoys this hologram will persist for the whole 7 seconds even when shot.

    Ultimate - Sounds receptors - For 18 seconds LEGEND can see the sound of enemy movement, gunfire & grenades as a physical element overlaid in augmented reality.
