Annihilation

Annihilation is an ultimate ability for Deadlock.
==Description==
Annihilation is a Crowd Control ability that Deadlock can instantly use. Upon activation, she winds up and equips herself with a Nanowire Accelerator. Deadlock can use other abilities and weapons without deactivating Annihilation; she can re-use the ability to reequip the accelerator. 
Deadlock can fire in a direction to release a long-range cylindrical pulse of nanowires that can ricochet off the first surface it hits. After a brief delay upon firing, Deadlock will launch the nanowire pulse, causing herself to be pushed back a few meters directly in the opposite direction she fired the pulse in. At the end of its path (either by reaching its maximum range or hitting a second surface), the pulse will expand into a large sphere if it has not yet encountered an enemy agent.
The first enemy caught in the pulse of nanowires will be wrapped around by nanowires in a cocoon form. The victim will have their vision obscured by the wires and will be detained, though minimap vision is not obscured. The victim will be dragged by a nanowire from their initial position to where Deadlock fired the nanowire pulse from, following the path of the pulse shot including any ricochets.
The victim's teammates must destroy the nanowire cocoon before the victim reaches the end of the nanowire path in order to free them from the nanowires' grasp. The victim will travel for a set duration before reaching the end, regardless of path distance. Upon reaching the end of the nanowire path without being freed, the victim will be released from the cocoon and be afflicted with damage equal to current HP remaining, essentially killing them. If the victim is unable to reach the end of the path due to obstacles, the cocoon's health will rapidly decay and be destroyed after a set duration. The victim will be freed from the cocoon and will not be killed.
Annihilation has a limited duration and Deadlock will be forced to permanently unequip the accelerator if she does not fire the nanowire pulse in time.
