I propose yoru's footsteps be made into a brimstone style smoke with vector targeting so you can place them anywhere on the map. Additionally, clicking once would open the map to place them, and holding the button would send them to walk in the direction you chose.

As they are currently programmed, they really dont do anything at all. If they were globally placeable, timeable, and directable, youd actually be able to fake pushes, which is the whole point of the ability.
