This hero concept may be complicated and hard to understand.
My intention with this concept is to make a hero to replace Symmetra’s old Shields, similar to how Brigitte now replaces Torbjorn’s old Armor.
Hero Description and Lore:
Jimin is a South Korean male omnic that was kidnapped and modified by Talon (possibly by Moira and Sanjay). Unlike other Omnics, Jimin is built to be almost indistinguishable from humans. This is one of the reasons Talon want to use Jimin for their missions. Jimin could also be linked to the Omnic attacks on South Korea and could be a spy to infiltrate South Korean defences. Jimin is close with D.VA and her friend Taehyun. They have no idea Jimin isn’t human. Jimin cannot remember being kidnapped by Talon or how he was originally created and has no idea he may be giving the enemy information.
Gameplay and abilities:
Jimin is an off tank/support hybrid with a smaller hitbox than other tanks. Jimin is designed to sacrifice his own health for allies. He has 50 health and 250 shields to make up for this (300hp overall). I personally think Jimin would be a 3 star difficultly hero.
Primary Fire (No ammo required):
Jimin’s primary weapon is Staff of Chaos. Jimin swings his staff to release a slash projectile that can pass through enemies and barriers that does 60 damage per slash and travels at 20m per second. Each slash/swing takes 1 second to charge. Staff of Chaos will also act as a melee weapon at close range, dealing an additionally 40 damage every second. This can do a maximum of 100 damage per second at a range of 5m.
Photon Shield (No cooldown):
Jimin sacrifices 50 of his permanent shield health and gives this to an ally. This lowers Jimin’s maximum shield health by 50. He cannot regenerate these lost 50 shields unless he removes Photon shield by using the interact button, or if a teammate dies. It does not require line of sight to stay on a teammate. When Photon Shield is removed from an ally with the interact button the 50 shield health becomes temporary and decays away after 2 seconds. Photon shield can be applied to a maximum of 3 allies at the same time. This, however, would reduce Jimin’s maximum shield health to 100 (He would have 150hp overall).
Photon dash (8-second cooldown):
Jimin transforms into light (photons) and dashes a short distance in any direction (including vertical movement) with incredible speed. Jimin is still targetable during photon dash, unlike Moira’s fade.
Life Link (10-second cooldown):
Jimin grants a single ally 25% damage reduction with the cost of taking this 25% damage himself. All buffs Jimin receive from other teammates (such as healing, damage boost, speed boost, or damage reduction) will also be shared at 25% value with Jimin’s Life link target. For example, if Ana Nano boosts Jimin and she is connected to Jimin with Life link, Ana will receive 25% of the effects of Nano boost herself. Life Link requires line of sight to stay on a teammate and has a 30m range similar to Zen’s Orb of Harmony. Life link has a 10-second cooldown and an 8-second duration.
Ultimate ability (Thrive):
Jimin grants himself and all allies within a 15m radius around him 2.25 seconds of Invulnerability and 50 permanent shield health until they die. This shield health stacks with Photon shield to 100 shield health.
Passive Ability:
Any damage Jimin does with his Staff of Chaos to enemies will activate personal shield regeneration (Shields usually start to regenerate after 3 seconds without taking damage). If Jimin has a current Life Link target, their damage will also activate shield regeneration.
