Workshop Discussion
1

I am currently working on a new hero, support genji !
Why am I doing this? I love genji, but Iā€™m a support main. :laughing:

Deflection armor (new)

This armor will appear as green bars on your hero health, and it will deflect 50% of damage you take back at the attacker (regardless of LOS or raycast hit position)

Ability 1

swift strike

still the normal swift strike, but grants Deflection armor based on the damage you do, and the number of enemies hit.

Ability 2

Armor deflection

Normal deflection with 1/2 damage, heals nearby allies, and grants deflection armor to nearby allies.
*cooldown resets on eleminations

primary fire

shrikens

Slightly higher damage, but slightly lower projectile speed.

  • costs 2 ammo
secondary fire

Healing shrikens

shoots the same as the normal Genji primary fire, does no damage,
and heals allies hit with it.

  • costs 5 ammo
Ultimate

The sword

  • Rapidly give deflection armor to allies
  • swinging the sword at allies heals them
  • sword does less damage to enemies than normal

That sounds like a balanced and fun hero. The enemy team should always be directly and immediately punished for shooting Genji!

How exactly would you go about doing this? Do you actually plan on making this in the workshop? If so, good luck! It sounds hard!

I will be hard (as there is no direct way to detect temp. health without some math)
