So I think most would agree that Rogue is in desperate need of buffs and honestly has needed buffs for a while. Additionally, I feel like her ult and her ability absorption need something else that I wanted to throw out some ideas and see if you guys thought it was either too much or not enough.

1. She needs a health buff, 575 is not nearly enough to survive most encounters especially when she has no means of making herself immune to CC effects outside of her Ability Absorption which requires the enemy to be playing an Emma or Thing and is on a 30 sec. cooldown.
2. I feel like her ult feels rather unfair. I agree with keeping the limit at 80% but why not cause all enemies unable to gain charge while they're in it or slow enemies inside of it? Most heroes have a way of escaping the radius so why not make it a little more punishing to fight within it?
3. Her Ability Absorption ability needs something else. Would it be too overpowered to not just give it a charge on a cooldown? Let her grab an ability which allows them to use it twice over a cooldown between uses. The cooldown between uses can be based off of the original abilities cooldown so that way Rogue can't spam Loki's runes either. The health/damage/healing buff can stay at the same duration and simply let the ability duration be charge based.
   1. Hell they could connect the amount of damage she takes in her Defensive Stance to the amount of charges she has or how fast she gets it back and then either add another button that allows her to release the ability or extend the overall duration where she has the ability. I just feel like she needs more Ability Absorption in her kit since that's her main power.

Also I understand that the Gambit team up is good but isn't it only worth it if Gambit is actually on your team? Anyways, what buffs and/or changes would you guys like to see for Rogue and how much health/regenerative health do you think she should have? Also sorry in advance if you think my ideas are butt...

I've always wanted Jean Grey to be a telekinetic hero that could channel the Phoenix Force using her ult and so I decided to make a quick concept for her. I hope people understand I mostly made this as a dream since I really wished Jean would be a more telekinetic based strategist (mostly because I'm a strat main). I understand that Netease will probably never change Jean from whatever they turned her into but I mostly wanted to see what y'all would think of this. Also I have no idea about the best healing/damage numbers so I stopped writing it down for most of the abilities after the primary fire so as to not make her insanely overpowered or underpowered.

Jean Grey

Strategist

250 HP

Primary Fire: Telekinetic Shift - Hitscan “projectile” that cannot be blocked by shields. Can hit enemies and allies. (To those who have played Overwatch, think Ana's gun and how it ticks in damage. As for the not being able to be blocked by shields, I thought it would be a good flavor that shows that she's not shooting anything out of her hands but rather directly affecting one's mind.)

- On Ally Hit: 4 ticks of 20 Healing over 2 secs

- On Enemy Hit: 4 ticks of 30 Damage over 2 secs

Ability 1: Dark Ascent - Same Ability but now activates passive healing when flying.

Ability 2: Telepathic Illusion - Same Ability (I thought the teleport was strong enough but no longer applies Spark...yet)

Ability 3: Psionic Empowerment - Targeting an ally, they immediately heal 50 health and take reduced damage for 3 seconds.

Ability 4: Lethargic Detonation - Targeting an enemy, the ability is much like Psionic Detonation which explodes and stuns but no longer slows or applies Spark and instead causes the enemy to deal reduced damage for 3 seconds after. (I also liked the idea of making this ability Charm rather than Stun like White Fox in order to emphasize her telekinetic ability)

Ult: Phoenix Rising - Jean Grey transforms into the Phoenix for 8 secs. (I also liked the idea of being able to pop this ult if dead but didn't know if it would be too op. I feel like if you are able to secure a kill or cause enough Sparks to proc, then after the ult you could actually just come back, that way the revive mechanic isn't too op.)

- In this form they unlock the original kit where they NOW inflict Sparks on all of their abilities and their primary fire.

- Sparks now not only deal damage to enemies in the explosion but also heals allies in the explosion and can be applied on allies.

- Additionally, one gains free flight in this form and releases a wave of minor healing every second in a radius around them. (think white fox's ult)

- Once the form ends or Jean dies, Phoenix explodes outwards dealing damage to enemies and healing allies in a small radius around them.
