OG Captain America Rework Idea

Ercarret

I had originally intended to do a Sentry rework suggestion, but then I duped my 6* OG Cap and changed my mind after taking him out for a spin with a full synergy team. It took almost 400 hits to knock out RoL Winter Soldier. So yeah, he needs a little love.

I tried to make a fairly easy kit this time. It feels like a lot of my previous buff ideas have been very complex and I wanted to make a character who was relatively easy to use this time. There are a few abilities in there, but in the end the core concept is basically just "place a lot of debuffs on the opponent and punch away".

Signature Ability - Last Stand

The chance for a Perfect Block is increased by 5% for each unique Debuff on the opponent. When Captain America is under 25% health, the chance for a Perfect Block is increased by 7% for each Debuff on the opponent.

Every Perfect Block refreshes the duration of any non-damaging Debuffs on the opponent.

Lead By Example

If knocked down or when launching a Special 2, activate Lead By Example for 15 seconds. Activation is not affected by Ability Accuracy Reduction. While Lead By Example is active, any non-damaging Debuff placed on Captain America has its potency reduced by 70%. When the Debuff expires, Captain America places a corresponding non-damaging Debuff on the opponent with 125% potency for 10 seconds.

Heavy Attacks

Any damaging Debuff on Captain America has a 35% chance to turn into a random non-damaging Debuff. This is increased to 70% if Lead By Example is active.

Captain America can only convert one Debuff this way every 7 seconds.

Blocking

40% chance that a Block is a Perfect Block, reducing all damage to 0.

A Perfect Block has a 100% chance to Fatigue the opponent for 12 seconds, reducing their Critical Rating by 325.

Captain America cannot be hit with Critical Hits through his Block.

Shield Attacks

Captain America’s Heavy Attack, Special 1 and Special 2 are all considered Shield Attacks.

Glancing

Any Critical Hit that fails due to a Fatigue Debuff on the opponent simply Glances Captain America, resulting in 35% reduced damage and 70% reduced Offensive Ability Accuracy. The attack is also unable to inflict any damaging Debuffs.

Ranged Attacks have a 55% chance to Glance when striking Captain America’s Block. If they do, they deal no damage and cannot place effects through his Block.

Skill champions cannot Glance Captain America.

Non-damaging Debuffs

Any non-damaging Debuff on the opponent increases Captain America’s Critical Rating and Critical Damage Rating by 15% each. Additionally, each hit with Captain America’s Shield Attacks deals a burst of Physical Damage for each non-damaging Debuff on the opponent.

Special Attacks

30% chance to Stun the opponent for 3 seconds. The chance is increased by 40% if the opponent is Fatigued and by 10% for each other non-damaging Debuff on them.

Special Attack 1

* Place a Fatigue Debuff on the opponent for 12 seconds.
* If a Fatigue is already active on the opponent, refresh its duration and place a Slow Debuff.
* If a Slow is already active on the opponent, refresh its duration and place a Weakness Debuff.
* If a Weakness is already active on the opponent, refresh its duration and place a Petrify Debuff.
* When a Petrify Debuff is active, pause the duration of all debuffs on the opponent for 4 seconds, then start the cycle from the beginning. Each cycle, one additional instance of each Debuff can be applied. However, only two instances of each Debuff can have their duration refreshed by this attack.

Special Attack 2

Place a duplicate of every non-damaging Debuff on the opponent, with +2 second duration for each Debuff of the same type currently active on the opponent.

Activate Lead By Example for 12 seconds.

Special Attack 3

Gain a passive Unblockable Buff that makes every Shield Attack Unblockable for 20 seconds. Every time Captain America strikes through an opponent’s Block with any of these attacks, Stun them for 0,3 seconds per Debuff on them and deal 75% of Captain America’s base damage per Debuff to them as Physical damage.

While this Unblockable Buff is active, attacks into Stunned opponent grant them no Power.
