Human Torch Buff Ideas

[Gachalover (She/Her)]

So i've been playing torch and i've been finding him really fun, however he's not good, like at all, he's not the worst but he's not great, so here's some ideas to buff him hopefully without making him op, note i play torch as a sorta mix between dive/area control, most people seem to think he's a sustain one like the other flyers, but i see the best results with diving as him, so i sorta made it around that

- Plasma Dash-When Plasma Body is active then double tapping any of the movement keys will make you dash in that direction, so double tapping A will dash you left and take up the amount of fuel equal to the distance traveled normally, and same applies for all directions including up and down

- Consistent Shots-Having the shots go out as soon as left click is clicked instead of that like 3/4ths of a second later would do so much for consistency, his damage is great, like if you get consistent headshots you can 5 shot a groot, but actually hitting those is so difficult because of that delay

- 2 Slams-He's honestly a dive flyer, at least that's how i play him and see the best results, but he doesn't have consistent mobility, so a way i'd say to give him more mobility is to have 2 slams, so now you can use 1 to slam your flame fields for huge damage, Plasma Dash upwards, then slam out to escape

I'm hoping this is balanced and would make him better and even more fun to play, but what're your thoughts?

i do know how to play him, i have 7 hours on him, which admittedly isn't a ton, but it's enough to see a characters weaknesses and try to develop some ways around them, but his weaknesses are things that're really hard to get around, like he's a dive flyer, that's how i get the most success out of him, and it fits his character, but his weaknesses stop him from properly diving a lot of the time

I have almost 20 hours on him and I feel like this would just be a tad over powered in my eyes especially the dash, his sprint is usually good enough for evading after diving, and if your team comp is good and you have an out while using your ult after diving its pretty devastating to some comps. I just wouldnt want to play against someone with those abilities lol many times i have turned the tides of the game from using him.

I enjoy the way he shoots because i can usually land them behind where i think a person is going to go , which is great for pushing back and harassing those petsky healers

Like all 3 flyers Torch can be a menace. If Torch needs anything its that primary shouldn't score critical hits.
