Gorge Web Ball ability

Replace the current web ability with a triggerable web ball.
On the first click, the gorge launches a ball of web (the same size as the bait ball), then on the second click the ball bursts and webs are strung between all of the surfaces within a large sphere.
It will also trigger when it hits a marine or marine structure, spreading webs everywhere as usual. It doesn't trigger when it lands, it instead lies there waiting to be triggered, after a while it'll expire and disappear.
Two ways this web ball could be used:
1. Launch the ball, then trigger it while it's still mid-air to quickly fill a hallway with webs.
2. Leave the ball on the ground, then trigger it when the marines come get close.

    I really like this idea, feel like you can run around the map shooting webs like spider man! *spider gorge

    Instead of a sphere, why not more of a wall, or circular disc?

    Sphere version might be too OP if we're talking instantaneous dispersal.

    Irrespective of whether a sphere would be OP, a problem with using a disc or wall is deciding which axis the disc should be on; which way it should face.

    I'd say perpendicular to the Gorge player's LOS upon activation.

    That'd work well if the gorge triggered it immediately, but the ball can be triggered while the gorge isn't looking at the ball or they're even in another room.
