Concept Idea For Abilty-Combo Or "merging"

[(PSN)schmutzklitzen]

in essence the whole idea revolves around players matching their 'frames to create in game sub-effects from abilities
thus allowing "merge" combos and a different approach to a level

for example: 

if volt shoots "shock" while a squad member uses his frost with "freeze' abilty on the same enemy
the result would be "magnetic" damage + increase in said damage count (plus maybe a cool animation to indicate it?) 

just like on the weapons, but with abilities. 
of course not every abilities and frames match but all of them have compatibility with at least 1 other frame

also it might be used by enemies\bosses to add more challange to them 
or make players rethink their build and interact with other players

also this effect could be used in non-combat situations, and add more creative ways to get around the levels or secret routes.

example; 

using ember's fireball with frost's freeze to make "blast" damage and blow up an infested made "roadblock" and open a new path.

of course this will take more than 1 player to do and that will add to the difference between soloing and multi
but it could add a new dimention to the game.

This is a beautiful idea but due to the nature of the game I don't think we will see anything like this anytime soon...unfortunately. It requires sooo much coding and artwork I just don't think the staff could handle anything like this until maybe update 18-20 or.. Melee 2.0/Lore is really taking priority right now. I would love to see something like this put into action one day...There are MANY combinations between frames and all four powers to consider.. A water frame is coming soon as well....It would be awesome but something like this will take A LOT of work to put into the environments, the animations, THE CODING...+1 though
