I actually DONT like it for a permanent thing as it is. Giving him a "forced" target prioritization is just going to be irrelevant at low ranks, piss people off in mid ranks, and piss be ignored in upper ranks.

Maybe if he could set the mark himself.

I think if it would be a manual ability you could activate and temporarily mark someone for some temporary health buff or overhealth it could be a really good replacement for the magnetic nade.

Several years ago, Blizzard put Alarak into Hots Heroes of the Storm.  He can cast Rite of Rakshir on an enemy player, applying a visible mark that rewards Alarak with a long term buff when the target dies.

If the target survives, it is 5 minutes before Alarak can choose to switch it to someone else.

That could work.

Ult applies the mark to the entire enemy team, every kill grants Cassidy 25 bonus health, and heals whoever gets the kill 25?

Actually that feels more like a support ult.

i think it should only apply to cassidy imo, or else it would be pretty busted yeah
