14.  Slash

.
Too bloodthirsty for the X Games, not bloodthirsty enough for roller derby.

Slash is one of the two punk rockers of Quake, riding around on her laser-edged skates.   She’s a light class champion whose combat style mainly involves using her excellent mobility to get where she wants by taking winding paths that would slow less agile characters down.  Her movement passive allows her to slide on her skates for short distances, which maintains her speed during tight turns.  Her ability lets her move in any direction, including backpedaling, without losing speed, while leaving behind a glowing trail that explodes after the duration ends, dealing heavy damage to anyone inside the area.

Unfortunately, while her mobility sounds like a powerful tool, it’s ultimately overkill in many of the game’s maps.  This leaves Slash in a place where she can reach items as fast as stronger characters, but she has few tools to aid her once she is in an actual fight, especially with her low health pool.  Her ability can be used for area denial, but a highly experienced player is not likely to just wander into its highly visible glowing area.

Champion Power Rating:  66/100
