[VARIETY IDEA]Demigod Movement

So, I was thinking on the drive home from work (45 minutes, so it was a long thought) that I think we could use some variety in the way New Demigod's will move around the map. Now, this might not seem huge to anyone, but if you think about it, it changes up the overall feel of "vs." human Demigods.

Breaking it down we have/dont have the following:

Two Legged Run/Walk : Regulus, Rook, Oak. {2.5} Regulus counts as .5 for his mix.

Four Legged (Animal) Run/Walk: Unclean Beast, Sedna {2}

Hover/Glide: Torchbearer, Lord Erebus {2}

Flying (Wings) : Regulus {.5} Regulus counts as .5 for his mix.

Chariot Movement (Carried by Servants) : Queen of Thorns {1}

Insect Movement (Multi-Legged) : Such as a Half Spider/Human Torso. Or, Hundreds of legs, like a Catapiller. 0

Inverted Knees (Two Legged or More): Such that the Knees bend towards the rear, like a Goat Man, or Demon with hooves. 0

Slither : Self expainitory, a snake like movement. 0

Slide (no legs) : Such as an Ooze, or goo, that it drags itself across the ground. 0

Hands (No Legs) : something that has a body, and two hands that it uses for movement and prehaps attacking. 0

Rolling : Something that curls to roll for movement and uncurls when not in motion (like a Night Creeper). 0

Hopper : Something that hops slow, like a frog, or quickly around the battlefield like a Flea.

EDIT:

Treads/Robotic: Robotic legs like a cyborg, or treads like a tank. (sort of doesnt fit well with Demigod, but its here)

 

 

I think these new movement features could give birth to some unique Demigods. I hope we dont continue to see Human-Oriented Demigods with the typical two legs. Technically the way it is, all 8 of our current Demigods are in fact Human based, except for Unclean Beast, who is the only true rogue Demigod, in that he is based off an animal. The argument could be made that they all came from the All-Father's seed, but that argument really CANT be made, due to the fact that Unclean Beast was given birth to by a human female, and came out like a skinless animal.

Just a thought guys, lets hear what people think. :rofl: My Favorite would be to see Inverted Knees, I think thats a very neat method of travel, and "Oh thats different" kind of outlook on it.

The new Demigods are hopefully very different looking and hopefully won't have the shape or kinetics of humans....

Yep even Rook has the shape of a human...minues the towers....well the towers can equal women in the 90's with their shoulder pads :-p

Good ideas tho :D

One would imagine new movement types would come with new heroes, no?

 

Though it would be interesting if there were different movement animations depending on the situation (Purely cosmetic, of course)

 

Like if UB just starting biting ferociously, acid spewing everywhere, when chasing down someone at low HP, or if QOT started whipping her bugs with vines when she was low HP and enemy demigods were nearby.

 

I'm a sucker for cool visual effects like that, Another thing I think could be pretty wicked would be specific death animations depending on what demigod or even specific ability killed you, a 3X shatter combo actually shattering someone to pieces would be friggen SWEET!
