    I have been playing elf for a while (basically since it came out). I really like the class and the ideas of how it works, but quite a bit of people think that it is a bit UP. So I was thinking of a buff to the class without changing too much of its concept.

    My idea of the change is about how the deflection works: right now how you deflect projectiles as elf is you block with your sword and crouch, which sends the projectile back in the opposite direction. The change would make it so that to deflect it, you would still have to block and crouch, but instead of sending the projectile back to where it came from, instead it would be sent to whichever direction you are looking at.

    This change would make it so that elf could do more crowd control and have more strategy to that part of the class. Let us take, for instance, you are an elf fighting a mage and a heavy. You could use the mage freezing ability and throw it at the heavy, making the heavy unable to fight you for a little while, as you try to kill the mage with your special attacks. Also, another instance where this change would be useful is when you are trying to steal a flag. If there is a ninja and pyro guarding the flag, you could deflect the pyro's shot at you to the ninja, making the ninja take more damage (which is really nice since it is now easier to kill and also the ninja is slower) and you are not on fire. This is I believe a really cool concept since of the strategies it gives to elf and making it so that deflecting projectiles is not mostly keeping you alive but adds more power to the class.

    I had that idea forever and I thought it would be stupid/op... But I was incorrect. That woul be awesome if they made that happen. For another class, one should deflect damage.

    I largely like the idea, however, I would like to see how it would play out in game. I could see issues with the idea being very complicated just due to the amount of projectiles in CTF and the varieties they come in. A good idea, keep up the good work.

    How would this work if a projectile hit behind you? Would it still reflect in the direction you're looking?

    I've noticed that you can still be set on fire if the pyro arrow lands nearby you, or the pyro is practically hugging the shield when he fires, so that might end up being a double edged sword. although you could launch Ninja Ender pearls off the map or back at the ninja.
