 Introducing Richter. The hero that lets you know by the first minion wave if you're going to run circles around him or spend the entire game scared shitless. Richter's passive is Neuroshock. This applies a mark to targets you hit with abilities that allows you and your buddies to deal extra energy damage on basic attack depending on Thickboy's max health and the target's current health. It's like having a stacking persistence thingar boost that also affects your allies baked into your kit. I know this seems strong, but it's not like he generates a constant pulsing AoE lightning storm around his body that can easily apply this. Richter's E ability allows him to generate a constant pulsing AoE lightning storm around his body. Richter's Q, electro whip, is a move straight out of pimp school. Activate this to play a little game of front hand back hand that immediately shuts your opponent the fuck up. You hate that Gideon makes you hurt him like that, but it's the only way he'll learn. Richter's right click is the iconic chain pull. Use your third eye to target the area you think your opponent will be in the next 5 minutes, then whip your chain forward at the speed of syrup to maybe grab them if you're really lucky. It's by far the hardest ability to hit in the game, as well as it should be. Pulling someone's asshole through their lips almost always results in a kill. In fault, landing the hook shaves time off the cooldown, meaning you can yank that carry across the lane and still run up to snag the support out of their tower. If I were to change one thing about the hook, it would be a movement speed slow applied on a near miss, because nothing will make you shit your pants quicker than seeing the end of that chain stop just short of your nose hairs. It ain't nobody running full speed with their panties full of poo. Richter's ultimate is impalement. Just like in Paragon, you pop out the chesticles to snag anyone in a cone in front of you. Or if you do it too soon, they just walk behind you while it winds up making you whiff and look like a complete asshole. While this was usually a self-destruct button in Paragon allowing everyone you didn't catch with it to hit you with the everything, strange matter changes so you take 50% less damage when using the ultimate. You still get hit with the everything, but now there's a slim chance you'll survive long enough to activate BotD. Just hope your fully shielded team is smart enough to follow up after they see you soak up three enemy ultimates while two people are stunned out of position. Don't expect it though, they'll usually just run away and then complain that your team has no engage. While Richter can be a force to be reckoned with, he can easily be countered by simply walking up to his face in a serpentine pattern. Point blank hooks are goddamn near impossible to hit, so he will miss, then he'll get frustrated that he missed a point blank hook and proceed to miss a point blank ultimate. Or maybe that's just how you counter me, I don't know. Go solo lane Rick and yoink overconfident graystones under your tower on Richter today.
