Flood - Controller

Deep sea creature capable of controlling the tides to shape the battlefield.

Water Wall - summons a wall of water to block vision and projectiles and slow enemy movement

◦	The wall can be passed and shot through but restricts vision and blocks projectiles.
◦	The wall is the same size as Sage’s and has the same cast range and method of placing it.
◦	Enemies inside the wall are slowed by 30%
◦	The wall takes 1 second to fill with water, lasts 20s and then goes on a 30s cooldown after it expires.
◦	300 Credits

Liquid Form - Flood turns his body into liquid, becoming immune to damage but being unable to shoot.

◦	Flood turns his body into water for up to 2.5s. He’s immune to all damage and effects along with being unable to shoot or be shot in this form. 
◦	An audio cue plays when the form starts and stops (similar to Omen teleport) but the audio does not give away Flood’s location. 
◦	Flood can be seen as a blob of humanoid water in this form. He makes no sound during movement. 
◦	When inside or passing through his Water Wall or High Tide, Flood is completely invisible. 
◦	Cast time of 0.5s to turn into water. Activating the ability again will cancel this early. Takes 0.5s to be ready to fire after.
◦	100 Credits, 2 charges

Vapor Sphere - concentrates moisture from the air into a hallow bubble of water that blocks vision

◦	Smoke is positioned in an overlay similar to Omen’s but with an underwater effect. Looks like a swirling bubble of water and is a standard sized smoke.
◦	Smoke forms from ground up over 0.5s. Full map range. Lasts 16s. 
◦	Signature Ability - 1st Charge Free, 2nd 150 Credits

High Tide - ultimate ability, creates a massive tidal wave that floods a large area with water.

◦	The water forms as a tidal wave coming from Flood and fills a large rectangular container (same area as Viper’s ultimate but longer and narrower).
◦	Takes 1.5s to fill with water and lasts 40s.
◦	Everyone is nearsighted underwater (similar to Viper ultimate) and enemies are slowed by 30%
◦	7 orbs

The game definitely needs another controller, as there are only 4 at the moment. The kit is subject to change. Feel free to give feedback and share whether you think this is cool, lame, overpowered, underpowered, or whatever you think!
