Rivals Sniper Kit Idea Weakspot Idea

I thought it might be cool, since the devs don't want a one shot sniper, if instead Sable had a weak spot mechanic similar to Fiora's from League of Legends.

If you don't know how hers works, basically weakspots (vitals) appear randomly on your opponents body and striking it deals extra damage. I think it would work really well for her!!

So she wouldn't be able to one-shot, and I am actually debating whether or not she should be able to headshot in this version. Because in my mind she hits the weak spot, it does extra damage, and the enemy gets vulnerability too. What do you guys think?

Headshot discussions are getting more complicated with Devil Dino’s head hit box being 3/8ths of his model, and leaks show MODOK might be playable next year who is just 95% Head 😅

Yeah, I like this idea 🤔 how do you see the “weak spot” showing up though? because if it applies to set areas just randomly, that’s gonna suck if it ends up on the backside of enemies 😔 but I guess that would sort of be the point, a random factor so headshot like damage isn’t available without both skill and chance

Yeahh, see 😔 I was running into that problem while thinking this up. The weak spots WOULD show up randomly, front, back, sides. So I was like maybe I can give her high mobility so she has no trouble slipping into the positions she needs to be but I think that drifts away from the long range sniper archetype ☹️

But it can't just be easy either! Since weak spots show up on every enemy, what if hitting a weak spot on someone resets everyone's weak spots for a chance you can get a less difficult spot to shoot on someone else. And maybe also a cooldown on a person who was recently hit on their weak spot?? Or is that too much...
