PROFILE:

Class: Vanguard​

In my opinion Ant-Man would be able to fit in any role, but I decided to design him as a vanguard. Wasp is already a strategist and I want them to have different classes, since they have similar abilities. So I had to decide between duelist and vanguard, but I don't see him as a main fighter more someone who assists his allies. With that I made him a vanguard to help his teammates on the front.

​

Base Stats:

Health: 625

Movement Speed: 7m/s

Ant-Ma isn't really one of the bulkier types so I gave him lower health than most of them have, which is also the reason why I gave him more movement speed then all the other vanguards.

​

ABILITIES:

NORMAL ATTACK: 

• Left Click: ANT-PUNCH​

  • Casting: Single-cast Spell Field

  • Damage: Three strike, 30 per hit

  • Maximum Distance: 3.5m

  • Attack Interval: Three strike 0.25s between attacks, 1s between sets

Ant-Man is not really known for using some form of guns or other range attacks, so I let him punch his enemies in a quick three punch combo.

ABILITIES: 

• Right Click: PYM PARTICLE DISCS

  • Casting: Single-cast projectile​

  • Effect: It shrinks the hit enemy, and hinders it at using abilities or normal attacks

  • Projectile Speed: 100m/s

  • Duration: 2s

  • Cooldown: 10s 

At first the technology would shrink and objects around him, but further inventing he was able to shrink himself at will and create these discs which can shrink others. The shrunken enemy is still able to move so it is hard to kill it, but the main usage of that is more of ending an ultimate or taking one enemy out of the team-fight.

​​

• Shift: SMALL-MANN​​

  • Casting: Instant Cast

  • Effect: Ant-Man becomes small and gains enhanced speed. He exits shrunken state after the duration ends, re-using it or using the normal attack or another ability except POWER LEAP

  • Movement Boost: 50%

  • ​Duration: 10s

  • Cooldown: 15s​

  • Special Effect: During this period, Ant-Man cannot be chosen as a target (neither by attacks like Scarlet Witchs Chaos Control)

One of the main features of Ant-Man is to shrink, but at the same time it would be horrible to fight against an extremely small enemy, so instant I decided to use it as an escape or engage tool. Especially since he is a melee character, this will help him to get more or less unharmed to the enemies.

​​​

• E: ELECTRIC DISRUPTOR

  • Casting: Single-cast spell field that surrounds the caster 

  • Effect: Deals damage and silence enemies around him, to stop them from using abilities

  • Range: 6m spherical radius 

  • Damage: 10

  • Duration: 1.5s

  • Cooldown: 12s

Ant-mans helmet is able to emit an electric disruptor, and so I decided to use this feature to silence enemies. In combination with his right click, Ant-Man becomes a good disruptor vanguard, who can stop enemies from using their abilities. Right know there is know one in Marvel Rivals who can silence, which gives him a unique role to fulfil.

​

• Space: POWER LEAP

  • Casting: Dash

  • Effect: While SMALL-MAN is active, he can leap in the direction he is facing.

  • Speed: 25m/s

  • Cooldown: 2s

When Ant-Man is small, he still has his normal power, which let his tiny body have the jump power of a normal size adult. It also helps him to get behind enemy lines or make his escape easier.

​

• Q: GIANT-MAN

  • Casting: Transformation​

  • Effect: Ant-Man grows in size, gains a lot more health, loses his abilities and gain two new normal attacks

  • Duration: 10s

  • Energy Cost: 4000

  • Special Effect: The caster is immobilized during the transformation process and gains Invincibility

  • Additional Special Effect: Immune to any form of crowd control

  • New Health: 3000

  • New Normal Attacks:

    • Left Click: HEAVY STOMP​

      • Casting: Single-cast Spell Field​

      • Damage: 50

      • Range: 4m spherical radius around the foot

      • Attack Interval: 1s

    • Right Click: HEAVY FIST​

      • Casting: Single-cast Spell Field​

      • Damage: 50

      • Range: 5m

      • Attack Interval: 1s

Letting Ant-Man become extremely big was always my idea form his a an ultimate. With his new normal attacks, he can damage enemies on the ground with his left click and flying ones with his right click. Since he is so big, I though it would make a lot of sense for him to be immune to crowd control. One thing that balance it out, is that he can't use it anytime. Some places on the maps, doesn't have the aerial space for him to grow this big, but on the other hand he will become a good defender of a capture point.

​

• Passive: PARTICLE SHIELD

  • Effect: When Ant-Man returns to normal size, he gains 100 bonus health​

  • Bonus Max health: 100

Since he stands right in the enemy team, I gave him this passive to increase his durability, because he has not so much health than other vanguards and no ability that blocks incoming damage.​

TEAM-UP ABILITIES: 

• Wasp: HAVE A RIDE

  • Wasp: 10% Healing Boost

  • Ant-Man: When Wasp is small due to SHRINKING, Ant-man can press the jump button near her to shrink and hop on her back. He can't attack or use abilities and by pressing the jump button again he hops out of her back and become normal size.

Ant-Man and Wasp are an iconic duo, so it is only natural for them to have a team-up ability. Since Ant-Man is a melee vanguard, having someone who can get him close to the enemies is in my book a good way for him to unleash his ultimate (Q) on unsuspecting enemies.
