Proposed Deathslinger Change

hmeekins · October 2020

Personally I enjoy playing as and against deathslinger, but seeing as many people despise playing against him I have come up with what I hope might be a good change. Feel free to let me know what you think.

Increase ads to something like .5 seconds (Similar to Demos Shred)
Increase his range to anywhere between 20 and 25 meters
Add a slowdown when exiting his ads similar to huntress (this prevents the easy zoning he gets from entering and exiting his ads)
Increase the time it takes to break his chain

Now I know these changes would just make him a terrible version of huntress which is why I think he should also have this as a buff:

He could shoot at an object and use his chain as a grappling hook to pull himself over there fast. (this would hopefully make up for a weakened chase and his lack of map pressure) This ability could also be used to cut people off before they get to loops. I think that if he shoots an object he would need to hit m2 to grapple or m1 to swing and break the chain (This would be to prevent him from unwantedly pulling himself into an object he didn't mean to shoot).

I’d make it so his gun will explode generators when he shoots them. This would allow him to instantly kick generators that take a while to patrol like the generator on Dead Dawg Saloon that’s upstairs of the saloon.

Allowing him to use his gun as a grappling hook would just look ridiculous tbh.
