Vampire Lerk

in Ideas and Suggestions
I would like to suggest that any marine bitten by a lerk should be turned into a vampiric minion unless they recieve a medpack every 5 seconds for 30 seconds to cure them of their tainted blood. If the commander fails to save the marine from becoming vampire, the marine shall become immortal and receive points for killing and turning fellow marines into vampires or may otherwise covertly hamper their team. To make it immersive, vampiric marines will move 60% slower when a flashlight is shone upon them.

In order to kill a suspected vampire marine, the team must convene a council and hold a vote of execution upon which the commander must build a stake factorty drop a 'stake' (which costs energy from the stake factory) onto the vampire marine every 3 seconds for 15 seconds otherwise the attempt is failed.

I think this idea is good because it adds diversity to the lerk bite.

    But the marine only turns into a vampire if he isn't already a werewolf or when holding The Spoon Of The Ork.

    Spoon of the Ork was nerfed and replaced with Bob's Tooth seven builds ago. Wouldn't be viable.

    But what if we have no extractors and can't go grind up to find a tooth? We are boned!

    this idea would only work if the marines had silver bullet upgrade tech for their pistols, and the alien dog things could morph into werewolf form with a cinematic transformation sequence followed by a 10s AoE fear-inducing howl. because how else would marine vampires fight off alien werewolves? remember, immersion is king.

    You hear that everyone? Sparkles for marines in the next patch. It will be fabulous.

    Vampire Lerks will be like the coolest thing ever! Like the coolest! Do it!!!!!!

    On a serious note, I think changing the secondary effect of Lerk Bite to restore Lerk's HP and energy would be a better design than venomous bite.
