Blob needs a rework

[kyle2143]

What if absorption borrowed some ideas of the new Rev mechanics where it deals hella damage to you and the absorbtion only triggers when you actually die?

Yeah. Just make absorbtion automatic on dead bodies, and being in a Blob tile stops movement and rapidly hurts you. Less for the Blob player to manage and worry about

Yeah, this is pretty good. Both of em, now that I think about it I don't know why absorption wasn't always passive and just starts eating away at whoever is stepping on a blob tile. I had an idea for blob to change it a good deal making blob tiles traversable, but it slows movement and just slowly eat away at you all the time and this is kinda similar, but I think that's a bigger change maybe. But removing the absorb ability button so that anyone standing on the tile starts being absorbed reduces some of the HUD ability bloat and removes some tediousness. Urs's suggestion for the final absorption happening when you actually die is good as well, absorption already does decent damage while it's in process, but as I said before, probably not enough stuns.

Last time I played blob since that change I made, it was rather tedious to absorb someone who was stepping in and out, and I'm probably better than most blob players since I've played it more than once. Plus, I think most people intuitively understand that a blob expanding on top of you leads to you start being absorbed so it just makes sense. 

The one counterpoint is that it will probably be a big buff to blob which is already strong; though it's hard for me to tell if it will really be much of a factor, because like others said earlier, blob needs more early buffs that peter out once it becomes enormous.
