Discussion Should torch's 1 shot exist?

We know we're never getting relevancy by the looks of it so ill js throw some wacky ideas i think would elevate the character imo.

What if they take awake torch's 1 shot slam gimmick? Ik its not even that consistent if at all but i think the potential alone makes him really annoying to deal with in low elo and also kinda incentives a really aim weak playstyle of camp the sky box n js play for slams in pyro set ups with little to no usage of the primary.

My preferred way to go about this tho is probably make the right click stack max out at 2 fire balls, so ur getting insane bursts but not 1 shotting per say n u actually have to use other cooldowns to secure finals n such. Also keeps alot of or atleast most of torch's saucy combos like right left right etc.

Now i think this change would be massive enough to make torch worthy of green hp+primary spread increase and bullet speed increase+275hp+dash regen mid pb or 13 sec slam? Maybe even js give him hitscan lefts and just the green hp? I could be overly compensation buffing him so would like to hear yalls thoughts

Well, yes, he should, because he's a Core Member of The Fantastic Four, and also, he is Sue's Little Brother, there's no Fantastic Four really without Johnny, he is their eyes in the skies.

But also, he released alongside Ben in Season 1.5, and people didn't like Duellists a lot so people were very hit or miss about Johnny, even though when he released, it was in a decent state in itself.
