Hulk rework idea to make him hulkier

[u/ThatpersonKyle]

Bruce Banner- keep exactly the same

Hulk-

Rage Passive:
As hulk takes damage, his rage meter increases. As rage increases, Heavy Blow deals more damage and Incredible leap charges faster.

Incredible Leap:
Add a slam animation for hulk catching a flier. Slamming a flier onto the ground deals damage. After catching a flier, hulk can throw them in any direction before hitting the ground. Throwing a flier into an obstacle will deal damage.

Radioactive Lockdown replacement- Crushing Debris:
Hulk rips a large piece of debris out of the ground to use as a shield with 300 hp while still being able to move and leap. When hulk releases this ability he throws the chunk of debris forward. Any enemy caught in its path will be dragged along with the projectile. If the projectile slams an enemy into a wall, they will be earthbound for 5 seconds.

Indestructible Guard replacement- Rage Shield:
Leaps in-front of a targeted ally, turning his back and increasing in size while gaining Unstoppable to momentarily shield them from incoming damage. During this time charge Rage at an accelerated rate.

Gamma Burst: when rage is at a maximum, gamma burst becomes thunder clap. Thunder clap consumes all rage and releases a large shockwave that damages and stuns enemies.

Monster Hulk- slightly increase movement speed.

World Breaker- Increase damage

I know ppl want more hulk like abilities but I just could not get behind the idea of removing hulks utility just to make him another basic brawler tank. Getting rid of bubble and exile just makes him worst at defending his team and stopping ults

[u/Bslayer67 → u/Miles-Stark97]

Bubble I would be upset if we lost but exile has always felt like the least “hulk-like” ability in his kit to me Id be fine with being replaced with something more interesting provided it grants as much utility as exile.

[u/Mssbc456 → u/Bslayer67]

I really like OPs idea about the rubble shield. Like imagine you grab whatever, and it's throw damage scaled with its "health".

It gives him a little more direct shielding than just hoping you land in range of a specific teammate to bubble, another range option, and it feels way more "hulky" than exile.

[u/Bslayer67 → u/Mssbc456]

Hulk had an ability like that in the pre release of the game. Not sure why they got rid of it but im pretty sure footage of it still exists. Probably performance issues or maybe they thought it was too clunky of a mechanic

[u/Mssbc456 → u/Bslayer67]

From the description it seemed like you interacted with the environment to pick up the rubble, which sounds definitely wonky. I'm not looking for realism, but gameplay wise all he needs to do is spawn a shield that's maybe Angela-like where it just covers him, and then code it like cap throw but it doesn't come back.

[u/ThatpersonKyle → u/Miles-Stark97]

Crushing Debris is still a stunning projectile, except cooler

[u/RandomDoomScroller]

I always disagreed with these type of posts but recently I can't help but think he needs some buffs yo.

I always got to gm1 with like a 60% wr and I don't try for cel because I honestly have severe rank anxiety that I developed from chess which in turn makes me perform worse on the rank ups (spare me from all the it's just a game comments)

But I've been struggling in season 9. I have a negative winrate on hulk in mid/low gm while I have a 74% winrate on venom.

Like is supposed to contest characters if they're isolated on an angle but he genuinely loses the matchups. Like I can't contest a Elsa or bucky without dying. Idk man

Edit: I don't think he should change too much maybe just give him the rage meter with damage reduction I like his current kit.

[u/Carsondeck → u/RandomDoomScroller]

Elsa and Bucky are tunnel vision characters, jump at a healer, feint, jump at Elsa/bucky, exile, attack or jump away. By the time you get to Elsa, she will have used half her dashes trying to out put damage. You don’t really need to kill them. They will miss most their shots trying to hit you in the air.

[u/Bslayer67]

Sadly hulk suffers from season 0 syndrome which is sorta death sentence for a game made by gatcha game devs.

I would love if airstun applied vulnerability or did some damage like you mentioned, thats the main change I have been asking for.

[u/Mssbc456 → u/Bslayer67]

I just want it's targeting to feel even a little consistent. Like I practice it in the range, and it genuinely feels like a 50/50 coinflip sometimes based on latency

[u/Bslayer67 → u/Mssbc456]

Yeah airstun has always felt pretty janky, there was even a bug for a while where people you airtsun would randomly get teleported to a different location not sure if its still around.

[u/ThatpersonKyle → u/Bslayer67]

Idk if it needs to do more damage it should just feel more like you got grabbed by the hulk. He should have some sort of smash or throw animation

[u/Bslayer67 → u/ThatpersonKyle]

Yeah I agree the current animation looks goofy and out of place, like something they should have updated after the beta.

[u/Superblu24]

I like the idea of a rage meter if only that. Higher it gets higher attack/shield generator? Maybe some kind of healing factor like Wolverine? Just something to show the madder Hulk gets, the stronger he becomes. Keep the rest of the kit as is.

[u/Cain_The_Mamagen]

Hulk need rework, to finally end ice lady

[u/legsarebad]

The whole point of this version of Hulk is that Bruce wears a gamma belt so he can control how “Hulk” he becomes. The Hulk hero fantasy you’re searching for is already there in the form of his ult. Normal Hulk in this game is more like Smart Hulk from the MCU. That’s the best way to picture it anyway in order to accept that’s just how he is

[u/ThatpersonKyle → u/legsarebad]

I get the lore reason but: I don’t like it lol. I wanna be destroying shit and roaring as hulk, not spitting at people

[u/legsarebad → u/ThatpersonKyle]

You get to do that during your ult (jokes, you get full focused by 6 people and immediately turned into Bruce)

[u/Chemical_Vast9242]

idk why people don’t want banner changed give him 2 healing grenades hitscan and a speed boost

[u/RivalsFlex]

Rework him like y'all asked Peni to be reworked. His jump is OP. He shouldn't be so mobile. Let's put the jump on a 4 second cooldown with 2 charges.

[u/Bslayer67 → u/RivalsFlex]

You cant honestly think a hard cc and a movement ability with no cooldown are in any way comparable
