Crooked Sam

Heaven's Devils Outlaw

A proud veteran of New Folsom Prison, Sam found himself incarcerated two more times before earning the distinction of becoming a reaper. After mastering the suit, he quickly defected and became one of the most notorious fringe world mercenaries. He was a close friend of Tychus Findlay, joining the infamous Heaven's Devils.

Crooked Sam is designed to be a hero who is extremely adaptable to all sorts of situations, being able to switch out his gear mid-battle to deal heavy single-target damage or crowd control. He can heal himself out of combat, allowing him to get back into the fight quickly.

really like the trait! but i do have so suggestions:

HIT AND RUN! [Nitrous]- didnt understand the wording, did you ment that only above 5 stacks any additional stack gives 5% speed?

[Combat Drugs]- should heal per Nitrous charge- like after not being damaged for 5 sec, consume a charge healing for 4% max hp over 2 sec (after each 2 seconds you consume another charge if you were not damaged)

[D - Jetpack]- seems too generic, and unthematic because of its long cd, would suggest reworking (E) HIT THE NITROUS!:

(E) HIT THE NITROUS: also some misunderstanding, does it consume all stacks or 6? anyway, i would suggest changing it: could be his active mount-
increase speed bonus to 30% for 4 seconds, you leap over obstacles for the duration (like hanzo) ~20 sec cd.
(Z) JETPACK- reduce passive speed bonus to 10%, his trait should take care of the rest. no need to limit speed bonus at 50%. (after all the changes)

(W)STIMPACK: overlap with all his other speed boosts, should give aa speed instead. (and it could also make you gain more NITROUS per aa)

so now you have a space for additional ability on his E (maybe d9 charge or something else)
SPIDER MINE- will create confusion with hummer's
so i think there is no need in 2 modes with different kits, maybe an ability that changes his aa to bombs, and you have certain number of bombs with a cd.(and these aa will not give Nitrous) like can hold up to 5 charges 8 sec cd per charge (maybe normal aa vs heroes reduce cd...)

[R]ULTRA CAPACITORS- maybe better as a skillshot, that damage with a slow with 30 sec cd is way too strong and unfun for point and click.
[R]VANADIUM PLATING- a bit weird as it gives him the ability to really heal allies, would fit if he was a support (with different kit)
he could use different heroics tbh, maybe ine that consumes nitro to gain bonus(like original E).

Reduce his hp to ~1800, he got self heals and speed bosts so no need in so much hp.

overall i can see potential in this concept! but there is a bit more work to be done.

Would you say it's much better now?

yea it is! glad you took some of my suggestions.
[D - Combat Drugs] - might better work as passive making Nitrous automatically decay out of combat (like valla's hatred)
i think its importer to have some way to jump over obstacles as reapers do, so maybe add that to JETPACK, or as heroic.

im sure you ll think of good heroics to wrap this up!
