sniper shrapnel remake

i think that most people here can agree that Shrapnel is pretty ****. almost no one takes it.
so i was thinking of a way to make that skill viable. change it to how it is in HON
make it be some kind of flare. a nuke basically, an aoe nuke that deals 300 dmg at lvl 4 and slows by 30%. this would make it an awesome skill and would allow sniper to be a more viable pick. make the skill give vision in the aoe to land your ulti. just my thoughts, tell me what you think.

That would make Sniper pretty overpowered. He already got a huge nuke and a great range + passive.

Shrapnel isn't that bad, it's good for pushing powers and also it's a decent slow.

i dont think it would make him overpowered. as he is slow as ****, and as you probably know, he is never picked competitively. this was used in HON and i used to play that, it wasnt overpowered at all. even with that, he wasnt used competitively.
and shrapnel is pretty bad because, it has a delay from the moment you cast it to the moment where the little fire is falling, and the aoe aint that big so its easy to avoid.

Actually, he got picked in competitive matches sometimes. He deals a lot of damage due to his range and Headshot. Also, Assassinate is great for picking up kills and getting fed.

Sniper can easily be build to kill towers, this is because he can hit them from out side of their range. Shrapnel just lets him kill towers faster.

Have you tried maxing it first? its really good against heros who tend to be in the same place alot early game, as well as his pushing power
