Complete Tornado upgrade (Small finale spoilers)

[Immallama]

I think it's pretty obvious by now that Air needs some updated moves and some entirely new ones. So here's a simple change I propose:

It's simple really. While holding shift, tornado would start like normal. You can drag your mouse around to move the tornado then click to send it off in any direction. Anyone in the tornado's path would get picked up and thrown in the same direction until the tornado stops. This ability would go great with velocity damage if it was also added in. The tornado could shrink like in the above gif if needed.

EDIT: Just had another idea. What if tornado could pull in earthblast and watermanipulation in the air if they are nearby or touch the tornado? If it's even possible (Which I'm not sure it is) it can circle around like how sand does.

Thoughts?

I think this would do for a great upgrade w/ Tornado. And you're right Air needs some new moves, but shouldn't it still be simplistic? I mean from what I've seen watching TLA and LoK Airbenders are passive with only a few moves that could actually hurt a person. Idk this is just my input mabye I'm wrong?

Yeah this upgrade looks good, what would the range of it be? And would a raiseearth/surgeshield/fireshield block it?

Never really thought about that. The range should definitely be more than airblast. Raiseearth and a frozen surgeshield would block it while normal surge and fireshield wouldn't.

Ok, sounds good.

Nice and simple move, I think this could definitely be added. Good job.

Forgot to mention, this would also go well with a nausea effect.

Maybe add another thing onto it: if you're focusing at 1 spot with 2 or more people the stronger and bigger the tornado would be. then everyone in the group would have to direct it towards 1 spot (facing someone) then the 1st person to start the tornado (before aiming XD) would click to launch the bigger tornado.

Whoa... what?

Focusing a tornado into a big one and launching it at someone -_-

XD steps in order - 1. Start a tornado 2. 2 + players join it 3. Original creator of the tornado only has the power to launch it 4. Every player aims 5. Launch 6. repeat 1-6 until opponent is dead.

I think he is trying to say you can make a stronger, larger tornado by combining the tornadoes of multiple people on one spot. As shown somewhat in the season finale demonstrated by Jinora and the group of air benders. Jinora started a small tornado, then the other benders added on to it to intensify the size and strength.

Ohhhhh! Not a bad idea.

Actually, I'd really like a configuration in which you can enable Tornado do to to players what it does to mobs. The minor knockback we currently have is a bit silly, and people would use Tornado for more than just transportation in pvp. Or, perhaps make the regular version able to be launched by clicking in a direction (whilst holding shift for the initial tornado)? That'd work quite nicely.

i love this idea.
