I like the 1.

I like the tweak for 2, though I would prefer a completely new ability.

With the introduction of Nidus, we now have a frame which alters the environment in a significant way. I think something similar could be done with Hydroid's 3. So first off, becoming a puddle, that's fine, I think if you just click the ability, then it should work as you suggest. But I'd like an alternate mode where if you hold the ability key down, you can cast it in another location. This makes it more flexible, and will keep Hydroid in the battle, without taking away his strongest defensive ability.

His 4 I'd like to see actually replaced with a new ability. Not because I dislike the concept of the ability or I find it unfitting, but because I think the mechanics of it are a little borked. It's just not that effective in-game. With what, I don't know, but instead of summoning just tentacles, maybe summon an actual leviathan, or what about Hydroid becoming a leviathan himself?
