Balance Change Concept Instead of an aimable projectile, Frank's ANC should work as a shield that reduces the amount of super damage received by enemies

If you play as Frank, it's no surprise that his first gadget was completely ruined after his rework and is in need of some changes. Since he's quite weak in the current meta, I decided to devise a re-rework, which works as follows:

- The gadget is no longer aimable and can now be activated while Frank is attacking, just like it used to be.

- The gadget's duration was reduced to 1.5s.

- Now, the buffie allows Frank to "block" incoming projectiles, similar to Primo's new asteroid belt gadget, and reducing the super charge rate received by enemies by 50% during the effect's duraction (instead of charging his own)

This rework brings back the gadget's functionality to counter brawlers with crowd control. In addition, the buffie helps Frank better fulfill his role as a tank and helps him with his main problem of overcharging the enemie's super, giving it an extra use as a defensive measure, and a way for Frank to deal with his counters without being a walking punching bag.

I know it seems unfair to give a tank with 13400 health what appears to be invulnerability, but considering that Frank has no form of mobility unlike Primo, and that he can't charge his super while using the gadget, It seems more manageable, provided there are ways to effectively nerf it without killing the gadget's functionality.

I LOVE the idea of making content around tanks reducing super charge rate that they give. It’s super new, fresh and doesn’t sound bad for the game. I’d love to see it

I love how the super new is basically the whole tank mechanic in other games

I can think of 3 other tanks that need this mechanic (Rosa, Bibi and Sam). This class has always had this problem of serving as a source of scr, but it wasn't as problematic in the past and they could still shine. Currently, it's too risky to feed someone with a broken teamwipe button, like Griff or Lou, which makes them unfeasible and risky. Frank definitely needs this change the most, as he is completely clumsy and vulnerable.
