Tracer from Overwatch looks like she could be a lot of fun in League

Granted, the gameplay's not the same, but I think making a slippery sort of ranged carry like her could be awesome. Maybe basing a Champion off her could prove... interesting.

I'm gonna give it a shot of my own and try making something similar. A full concept won't be in this topic, but I'll brainstorm a few things.

Rough first thoughts:

  • 500 or less attack range (to allow high mobility at a cost of safety)
  • Focuses on maneuverability and anti-assassin qualities (provided the player doesn't get insta-gibbed)
  • Ultimate will be similar to Tracer's Recall ability (though balanced for League; it'll only heal you and reset your position)
  • Good DPS (compared to Lucian, Sivir, etc.), but not as good at burst damage
  • Obviously, quite squishy to offset the power of the ultimate

Possible Abilities

Photon Buster Passive: Increases attack speed. Active: Further IAS and adds magic damage to attacks for a short time. Passive deactivates while on cooldown. Kills and assists reduce the cooldown.

Thruster Dash a short distance in target direction (i.e. Vayne Tumble distance). Virtually no cooldown, but uses a Dash Charge; you can store up to 3 at once, which replenish over time. Gain Dash Charges on kill/assist.

Epoch Shift Warp back 2 seconds in time, restoring health and resetting position. Does not remove debuffs. Long cooldown. Cannot be used while CC'd.


Anyone want to contribute, or am I on my own?

When I first saw overwatch, I thought it was going to be a first person moba. I mean every character has 4-5 abilities, one of which is an ult...
