Living Dead change idea

[Lyth]

My biggest issues with Living Dead are the convoluted implementation with inadequate UI support and loss of player control. I would support any solution that addresses those two points. Out of the solutions that I suggested, Wraithform addresses the issue in the simplest way. It would also be an opportunity to actually give players that shadowy aura that people have been asking for since 2015.

An ability that freezes your HP is still going to be inferior to Hallowed Ground because there are strict conditions around its equivalence. If you mistakenly freeze your HP at 10%, you're going to die when the effect ends and there's nothing that your healers can do to save you. It's worth noting that Superbolide is equivalent to Halllowed Ground when you're at 1 HP. This is effectively the analogue for high HP.

I've always wanted to see a defensive built around a similar principle to Tracer's Recall, where you rewind time to mitigate. Reaper's 'Crest of Time Borrowed' and 'Crest of Time Returned' statuses sounded like a lore nod to this type of approach. But rather than experimenting, I'd really rather they stick with something simple that works.
