Idea Angel V3 [Ranged Support with High Jumps]

Nice ideas and continuation of last proposals!

I actually really like the Immortal ultimate for Necro revive tag :eyes: ...
"Right click an ally with the enchanted axe to make them immune to death for 5 seconds, during which their health cannot fall below 2. Additionally, they are restored."

Or even the Damage Cap ultimate for Necro revive tag :eye: ...
"Right click an ally with the enchanted axe. For 5 seconds, any incoming damage is capped at 5, after damage reduction. Additionally, they are restored."

And the many ideas below in the doc... all great if we wanted this kinda class added to the game.
It definitely fills its own niche with healing and all the bouncing/knockback, but id have a more solid opinion after revisiting the idea after finishing existing class reworks/tweaking.

 

These are my thoughts, keep in mind i am not very experienced in ctf and have no idea on balancing. Some of these ideas might be very complex but i believe complex abilities are beneficial for a high skill ceiling and good gameplay.
1. Keep the armor as it is. Do not nerf the armor and give it more evasive abilities. Not giving it a sword is a good idea as it creates a natural counter in assassin thus preventing it to be too strong.
2. A strong CC is not very healthy for gameplay. Getting your movement drastically controlled by something you have no control of is just really awkward and unfun.
3. Guardian Angel should not give immortality and also a full restore. My idea is that it could become similar to revival tag in that it can be applied to allies and stay active for a good amount of time but without the penalty of dropping the flag and getting debuffs. Perhaps after "death" they get 10 hearts, no stake and also put on a restore cooldown.
4. I love the idea of Biotic Bow, i would actually choose both options for it tho. If you shoot a block it gives AOE healing in the 3x3 area. If you directly shoot an ally they get the ranged restore(see idea below) as well as every ally in 5x5 block radius gets a lower regeneration effect (maybe like 1-2) and for only a short time (max 7 seconds) If you hit an enemy, there should be no action done, no healing and also no dmg) You should also definitely not be able to spam biotic bow.
5. My idea for ranged restore: You can restore 1 steak/health pot with direct hit only, a cooldown of ~5-10s and only up to ~30 blocks (longer distance could just lead to predetermined setups in which the angel can deal big impact without fear of pressuring --> also bad for recovery) Restore with AOE is very unhealthy for the game imo
6. For Bunny Hop: instead of jump boost its a chargeup ability which acts kinda similar to elf wind(aim down, charge and release to go up 5-6 blocks; look behind, charge and release to get a boost forward). Instant jump boost could be abused to completely avoid ninjas and a multidirectional boost gives high skill ceiling. This can also be used for avoiding common assassin spots and getting into place to support your carrier from a safe position but still reachable by enemy ninjas/soldiers.

 

Not much to say for me personally. Love the idea.
I'm only replying to get temporarily get this back on the front page so more people see this.
