April Fools expiroment proposals
The Dev team already has my permission to use this if they want:
2/3 of Sigma's normal abilities is a block. Why not lean into him having 3/3. Don't have to change anything, just make the boulder Sigma tosses tangible cover he can pick up. The wind-up time is already the perfect timing for holding up indestructible cover. Because it would still mostly be used as a strong attack. But would just give it that much more versatility without changing much but a hitbox. While he naturally faces the target he is taking covering from. He is also pretty slow, so this could be a way for him to have just an ounce of dive survivability. The boulder also doesn't gaurd the top of his head and his exposed feet. So it would be best in quick pinch scenarios. Make it cover until it hits some one. It will kill a lot of ulting Pharahs before the boulder hits her and randomly yeet her wildly when it does.
2 side proposals:
-
Have Sigma gain speed per percentage of damage Kinetic Grasp sucks in. This speed can stop the moment Kinetic Grasp stops or when the gained overhealth dissipates.
-
Have Kinetic Grasp cancellable with other moves. Keeps his combat fluid and allows them to cancel to defend themselves from laser beams, frost, fire attacks, and melee damage that go through. Without being locked in an animation. Sigmas are Frontlines. Not having an ability when he needs it is a penalty enough.
