This is my last attempt at a potential rework for That's all folks.
I am aware this variant is supposed to be defensive but It feels like it should be offensive, in way of being a poor man's Dream Catcher.
OLD (SM1)
Getting HIT has a 15% chance to inflict ARMOR BREAK for 10 seconds and grant 3/4/5 stacks of PRECISION and 1 stack of EVASION.
OLD (SM2)
While Peacock is alive, enemies have 50/60/75% reduced CRIT RATE.
NEW (SM1)
When using a special move you have a 10/20/30% chance to inflict FATIGUE for 6 seconds
Projectiles have a 50% chance to inflict QUIETUS for 10 seconds
NEW (SM2)
While peacock is alive all teammates have a 5/10/15% increased crit damage
My reasons is to why:
This variant is inspired by classic slapstick cartoons, so it doesn't make sense for it to be defensive when classic slapstick characters are typically offensive. 'That's All Folks' is too similar to 'Untouchable,' making it feel uninspired and boring. I believe this rework gives her a more unique playstyle, adds variety to Peacock variants in general, and makes her a strong offensive and support option.
As for why I think Fatigue and Quietus are the best debuffs, Fatigue has a 50% chance to stun, and in classic cartoons, the victim often gets hit so hard they see stars, implying they're stunned. Quietus, on the other hand, is great because so many fighters have Final Stand, and it would be fitting for this Peacock variant to deal with that and deliver a good old-fashioned knockout!
I believe my first attempt was too over powered and this time it is more balanced and realistic.
I know the patch is coming in October, I really hope a dev takes a look at this and maybe they actually like this idea. Its just unrewarding to get a gold fighter that is boring.
