guys hear me out.
Phoenix gets an instant teleport kinda like yorus except the location is where he was 5 meters ago. and the animation would be like his ult except it wouldnt go into third person but stay first
the current molly physics is dumb as fuck, make it least like Viper's snake bite
make his flash not to bounce on walls, pop faster and put an indication on the screen where it will hit
make the wall reduce bullet damage (something like the thinnest physical wall bangable in game) and not hurting your teammates
make it possible to turn off his ult any time you want before the timer ends by holding X, maybe give him a pop flash or something when the ult dies, or give him a new charge of hot hands only while on ult
Both the wall and hot hands give burning effect on the enemy
The thing with phoenix is he doesnt function like "duelist". With jett u can dash when something goes wrong when u entry or dash to entry site. Raze with satchel and when everything goes wrong got her util to save her (also can satchel out). Even reyna got something to entry and get out. Phoenix only got his shitty flash with his shitty molly and his shitty wall that not only save him if he fuck up, the util end up making him get fucked. Wall should also function like stim beacon from spike rush, make u run faster. Flash more unpredictable (with skye, breach yoru their flash unpredictable when, where they pop). Phoenix flash pop between ur pov and always beside some cover. Molly also dogshit heal should ne faster. Ult should get canceled when u want
replace one of his skills with a pseudo version of his ult, make it kind of like yone E but on a shorter cd (and maybe smaller hp) than phoenix's current ult. some of the changes others have made here would make him a cool sort of reverse-skye type of aggressive-initiator like duelist. obviously his anchor skill would be hard to balance but I think it would be cool. (also reading this back he's probably gonna be an even worse duelist, but maybe hypothetically he can still be useful like kayo)
