Harbor buffs?

First, let’s assess the strengths and weaknesses of running harbor

Strengths:
Cascade is good for denying information without burning util needed for an exec
Cove denies a good amount of spam when planting the spike
Wall is very versatile
7 point ult makes game plans around it very consistent/easy to spam

Weaknesses:
Why the fuck does it slow my teammates
Cove struggles a lot in the util heavy meta rn
Wall requires way too much positioning/precision to be versatile
Ult is pretty underwhelming

For riot to make a balanced agent, I think that they need to slightly soften the weaknesses of an agent, not remove them.

My solution:
Harbors casade/high tide does not slow teammates
The interior of Harbors cove blocks off sound. Neither enemies nor teammates can hear anything inside the cove from outside (like Astra ult)
Enemies cannot see the marker in the air that signals harbors high tide
Ult stuns faster and stuns for longer

Did I cook or should I kms?

eh idk this doesn't really fix key problems of harbor imo, all of his abilities are very finicky because if you buff their strong points they become broken

take the ult for example, too slow and it becomes useless, but if you make the stun really long and fast then there literally is 0 counterplay, it's like a kj ult that pops instantly and makes flood retakes instant wins

or the cove, if it had way more HP it would just be impossible to play postplants, especially since tejo got nerfed

IMO:
i think the ult is fine, it just should be reduced in cost
there needs to be a better way to throw the wall, and the cooldown is waaaaay too long
cascade is a good ability, don't need to change it
cove needs a rework

Harbor walls need to dampen bullet damage. It should never be a disadvantage to scale with cascade and just get spammed by a phantom for free. Also it makes sense realistically.

And yeah high tide should be divorced from harbor's current position in some way, like an alt-fire to have it start from a remote position.

And for gods' sake let the ult pings show up on the mini map or just be more visible in general.
