Monkey Paw Changes

General Discussion
1

Just for fun thread in terms of abilities!

If you’re unfamiliar (it’s based on a story whose first written account is 1902), The Monkey’s Paw grants any wish to you, but at a terrible cost for messing with fate.

So, (super)buff any ability but give it a terrible cost!

If you want, suggest an ability for the next person to change. Don’t feel bound to take the suggestion (or make one), this is just for fun!

Ana Sleep:
Doubles the duration, but Ana can’t move until her target can, as well.

Next:

Direct hit to slam is a one shot kill.
In exchange ball has a critical box exposed in ball form.

Next
Sombra hack

ETA
To be fair I’m not sure the critical is enough for this but probably based on reliability of a direct hit slam being low.

Sombra Hack:

Her hack has a long-lasting, global effect but makes her translocator and invisibility completely unusable for 60 seconds.

Next up: Ana’s biotic grenade

Impact area leaves behind a mist cloud that lasts 4 seconds. Buff/debuff effects will refresh their timers with every second a player is in the cloud.
But…
Grenade needs to come to rest on the floor for 4 seconds before it detonates.

Junkrat places mayhem proximity nades in every trap that deals 250 damage inc trap damage.

Junkrat blows up for the same damage of the nades (minus the trap damage) when trap nades blow up.

Death Blossom roots and disables the abilities of enemies caught in its area, but Reaper gets dizzy from spinning around and has to stand still for 5 seconds after using it.

  • Gets 3 charges
  • Can be used without targeting an ally.
    But…
    -Has a 10% to spook targeted allies briefly stunning them. Chances increase 10% each time Swift Step is used. After a 15 second cooldown without using Swift Step, the stacks are removed.
    -You can teleport INTO map geometry if used without targeting an ally. Killing you instantly. Watch your spacing.

Torbjorn’s turret ignores armor and all other forms of damage reduction, BUT…

If Sombra hacks the turret, it’ll enable friendly fire and start shooting at Torb’s own teammates.

Next: Dva defense matrix

Defense matrix now is auto deployable and doesn’t need to be used by the player. As long as there is an edible projectile she will eat it.

No long blocks hit scan projectiles. Eat Audio replaced by the entirety of Weird Al’s “eat it”, stacking cumulatively.

Next ability
Life weaver primary fire.

Alright, fair enough.

He can charge up his lotus bio-energy flower even higher than before! But it comes at the cost of making him move slower and slower with every recharge of his healing flower.

That guitar solo is gonna make ears bleed after 2 stacks :rofl:

No longer has a cooldown. Can fire as often as he wants. Has a heat mechanic.
At medium heat (2 uses) leaves a fire trail along the floor for 3 seconds as long as the projectile is within 10 meters off the floor. Direct hits ignite all targets and it cannot be absorbed. Also empowers melee hits.
As heat climbs, it will damage Reinhart and drain Barrier energy. Charging builds heat as well. Medium heat drains 30 HP/SEC.
At Max Heat, he takes 50 DPS while cooling down.
