What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion aims to change 682 to be more in line with its main traits or to make/replace his roar for something that feels better to use.
Roar possible buffs (not to be applied at the same time):
Comments: Roar changes makes up for the roar self stun, which feels really bad since the stun is barely longer than the self-stun, often you end with less HP than if you just ran them down because of people outside of roar range.
Roar possible replacements (not to be applied at the same time):
Comments: 682 current "hard to kill reptile" trait is having 40k hp (which also compensates his huge hitbox), which does the trick but i feel its a lazy way to do it and it can be done better and mayble enables some alternate ways of playing him.
A bit more complex of a replacement:
Comments: this ability is more about making him more dynamic to fight, would need some damage numbers modifications to get it right.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Didn't find any similar thing suggested (or i searched with the wrong terms).
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
682 feels better to play and is not a simple unga bunga, or at least fixes his roar ability to not feel so bad to use.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Dev time, 682 is a simple SCP so any changes will probably require some dev time to implement, except maybe roar changes.
It would need time or testing to see if changes would be too strong, which would hurt if 682 breaches and the numbers are still not right.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
For being a XK-Class vip SCP, 682 feels too simple, you breach, hulk smash until you are recontained.
Its true you could extrapolate that to almost every scp, but almost every other scp has some "unique" form of playing even if you are just killing everyone... 7722 has ranged & melee and has his armor, 076 has his speed and DPS, 9k have very unique gameplay, 939 with sounds...
And lets better not talk about reality bending SCPs.
I feel like 682 needs something so he is more interesting than big chunky HP bar that bites, the other SCP that i think its like him is 082 but i dont own him so i dunno how it plays or what are his abilities.

Roar possible buffs (not to be applied at the same time):
- Roar now switches affected people to "Keys" swep as if disarming them.
- Roar no longer self stuns you, but still prevents you from attacking, so you can still reposition yourself.
- Enhance roar movement impairement abilities, preventing affected players from jumping and turning.

Roar possible replacements (not to be applied at the same time):
- Replace roar with a strong passive HP regen that works in combat (stronger than 9k), but decrease his max hp.
- Replace roar with passive defense, if under constant damage during the last X seconds, give him damage reduction (or repeating lots of armor if Gmod can't do damage reductions) lasting until he receives no damage for X seconds.
- Replace roar with passive "Bullet Freeze" which would be explained as a deflecting armor, if you lose X% of your max hp in X seconds activate reality bending "Bullet Freeze" effect on yourself for X seconds.
- Replace roar with active defense ability similar to "Inversion", activate to create a temporal HP shield based (or armor) on the damage you receive. Ability lasts X seconds, shield lasts until destroyed but won't prevent you from being beamed and cuffed if you were on low BM.

A bit more complex of a replacement:
- Replace roar with size & damage modificators, the more % hp, the more size and damage 682 deals, decreasing % hp will make 682 weaker, but also smaller and faster. At certain % hp 682 will no longer make noise nor trembles the ground when moving, but also loses his ability to break BDs.
