I'm not so sure on the movable turret concept unless you explain how its able to move... its redeploy lockout time and such.
Cause without a lockout on the redeploy, the ability would have a spammable reposition.
If it moves and works similar to Luna then I would argue that a rehash of the same ability would be mediocure... Not to say you can't use it as an ability, I'd just work to create aterations to that turret and make it differ from Luna but still share properties, just tailored for frontline class... so an endurance zoning tool...

Starting with the lockout CD, a 15s lockout on a dead turret that is just meat with no CC or Team Aura, sounds harsh for no reason.

Redeploy mechanic, you have to use a Teleport Reposition for the turret right, as it is the only decent way to move that kind of object....
I'm just thinking as a concept artist/storywriter here, if you had a the turret deconstruct itself over 1s to reconstruct itself over 1.5s in the location of your choosing, and turret comes redeployied with a full shield, that would make a sensible and fair reposition for a meat body turret with soft damage hitscan properties. Io's Luna teleport redeploy is somewhat instant, with distance travel time and telecasted direction, it also needs Io's healing dynamic to truely work and tank. Giving the turret its Non Dozer Countered HP every Redeploy would provide some sheer tank, reducing the death penalty would make it a more dependable resource for a Juggernaught to play with.
Oi knowing our foundness of Turrets I really want to see a champion whose turret has their own personallity akin to bolt and BK...

This Turret currently just seems to be a bullet eater that is countered by eating too many bullets too fast as its reliant on its staying power resource generation for its redeloy sustain... but if left unpressured, its maximum heal of ... 60x25=1500 after 4.5s is alright sustain.. but just clunky and counterintuitive with spammable deployment and no lockout time after deploy.
With spammy deployment and no lockout, or deployment time listed, this object could potentially avoid heaps of damage with good awareness unless it was limited to a players feet.... so further description would be nice.

I don't know about redeploy time, some 5-7s redeploy CD would be ample for a meat body asset of 2.4Kish over 2 HP pools that you have to look after.
Goes on CD on death is an interesting restriction for asset management and I would like to see features like these on some damage.

I would give the turret passive regeneration at base, with cards to amplify it when near your position or HP on redeploy with cards for turret sustain so its not a meter bassed sustain dynamic for a passive object with little influance...
Not unless that meter is also going to tick over into turret damage pressure somehow... or Turret CD reduction on death (I like that actually)... or something that allows its staying put to have influance on its power and tempo.

Personally I think the values could be 1K Deployable 1K Shield with 80 Base combat Regeneration... and maye even better redeploy and CD times then listed previously.
Idk about giving the turret out of combat regen as sustain since it is not a pet, I feel as though mechanical object should have liberty to self repair regeneration.

As for shield.... again with no lockout time reasoning... Having a person constantly able to deploy and destroy with no lockout time is just a bit jank.
So you can cast and recast this over and over again until busted. With no lockout time... its just not great quality of life for all to see it.
Personally this is the kind of guy who needs the Sigma cast and hault shield dynamic in overwatch to work with his reactive turret placement, this would be a better shield by design and easier to work at close cuarters to extended ranges.
I don't mind the idea... of these deployable barrier windows, but not on this champion... not with 4.5k HP strong sustained dps and a turret... too hostile, not endurance focused enought.
Not unless its a channeled shield that goes down when he gets hard cc or something while active, consumes the use of his hand to lockout turret movement or ult... someshit...

I just don't know about the ult...
.... hard supression on top of supression is kind of Bolts thing
.... your gun is not all that different to khans... man why doesn't khan have dual weilding... MAN WHY THE FUCK DOES KHAN NOT HAVE DUAL WIELDING, FUCK OVERPOWER, I WANT MORE DAKKA...
.... you could have another gun and still perform the same, maybe a weapon that can repair turret.... i digress save that for support...
.... your barriers sound pretty easy to shoot around due to size, mobility should be fine, no real hard line breaker, pleanty of hard line annoyance.

Best I can work out is a Silence Bubble Shield Grenade.... a 4k dome shield with silence inside deployed upto 30 units away, that activates after a deploy time delay, ends when popped or after 4s. Something with endurande and control, with a bit of counter ult potential that can synergise with turret placement.

Just some interesting thoughts.

You don't need to be good at it. What's the saying? "Those who can't do teach".

A general guide should be easy enough. Being unpredictable, target prioritization, survival that type of stuff. At least half of flankers problems is going after the wrong targets.

The issue is many of the flankers require different styles because of their mobility differences so going in depth won't work well. A general damage guide would also have this issue.

Maybe you could create two sections - one for higher mobility (Evie/Maeve) vs the more damage style (Skye/Koga).

PS: No, I'm not gonna do it

I don't play flanks pretty much at all though, so what insight could I possibly offer, considering I have little knowledge of how to play the role? It would make more sense for somebody who actually plays flanks and can do it reasonably well to do the guide for that role. Even Damage champions are iffy for me to an extent considering that Damage kind of encompasses a variety of different types of champions, some of which I have no idea how to play properly (Blasters).

@a_a said in Dusklicious' Suggestions for Every Front Line Talent:

@Dusklicious 75% DR is perfect IMO

Now that I think about it, 50% DR on that talent alone would be rather stupid considering it doesn't last as long as Raum's and Raum's has 75%.

@a_a
I read it, that's why I specify your words. I meant no offence.
Also, I do believe you meant replace Raum with him, since they have Raum, not this champ

Now it's a bit better, than it was, since you can't endlessly lay on enemies with impenetrable shield. Also, ranged potential is just fine.

He really needed a way to poke enemies at range. He had no range in his kit whatsoever. Not to mention an invulnerable shield is just a bad idea anyways. It's a lot easier to balance the way it is now, not to mention it is more unique, because that makes it the only shield in the game that actually can actively do damage to an opponent.

@Rauyne I might didn't make it clear, but one of Ruckus' downsides is lack of mobility. I'm not certain, which way it's better to change Ruckus, but the statement is the same: he needs changes. The one thing I'm thinking of is old Emitter's slow effect. It might be useful to negate lack of mobility as well as giving Ruckus more utility during mass fights. Otherwise with off-tanks like Khan, Makoa or Atlas who needs a bulky damage dealer with no special additions?

@Dusklicious Maybe, maybe not, I'm not big on numbers, though I must note, that without sentry gun his damage output is relativly low (orbs are pretty quick and pass standing enemy faster, than in 1s) and it cannot be quickly replaced if destroyed, since its cooldown similar to Io's Luna (goes on full CD only after being destroyed, the same with shield generator). Although, no escape ability, pretty easy target, huh(no)? Still, I've added some edits.

Basically, I tried to come up with something like TF2 engineer, with most of his power being in his sentry gun and dispencer (although, teleporter, but with horse mechanic and removed Dredge's talent I don't think we need one). I think I came pretty close to the idea with the restriction of building being destroyed if you die (That means you always sacrifice your buildings in Paladins, rather then get yourself killed in order of your buildings survival in TF2), what do you think?

Very solid concept, though it seems a lititle underpowered in some regards. It lacks any real mobility and doesn't have all too much in the way of self-sustain. Though the strength of the Souls especially with 4 out at once (which seems like it would be easy enough with the Convert talent) is quite high, and his ultimate sounds potentially really crazy as well.

Definitely also welcome this sort of high skill tank as well.

Have to say, I kind of like this idea.

Yes it was part of the old Forums.
Dimitri was a concept before.... Khan...
Spent a bit of time on this one trying to make it work in game without any major complications.

Dimitri is an area supressor who uses strong low-mid range dps, as well as cripple and slow soft CC skill shot moves to lock foes out of escaping at range, keeping foes out in the open and exposed to fire for as long as possible. His powerful CC slow move is tied to his mobility tool, thus creating an all or nothing strategy if used this way.

Has a weak 4k dome shield to briefly hold back damage from every angle and get a window for healing, has to care for a deployable inside the shield as it is the key reducing the cooldown of the shield, so cqc fights inside a dome in the open are not recommended unless foes are kept out of the shield. The shield bides time to activate and deploy his mobility or lock down moves, or gain a decaut window to get maximum sustain healing from Berzerk.

His mobility tool is fairly easy to read as it describes to all players who can see it where he will travel before he gets opts to go there, it can be canceled by other players by shoving Dimitri out of range or out of line of sight of his hook. It can also be hindered by hard CC effects such as stuns, silences and fears although they will not brake the mobility cable unless the character is pulled out of line of sight or the duration of the mobility expires.

His ULT Berzerk is a Damage Reversal / Self Sustain endurance move designed to eat and throw back firepower for a brief time. Healing the player passively in order eat more damage and synergize with healing mechanics, combine with shield healing for a moment of powerful self recovery. As you take damage you gain energy to use for a powerful lazer shot or instant uncauterizable self recovery.
