There's a lot of situations that can make you want to change the speed of your broom. If you're travelling far distances you'd want a fast one, but if you just want to simple fly up and land on a tree you'd want a slower broom for more control. My idea is to kind of change the speed on the brooms, but they each have a max speed they can go up to. This is how I'm thinking each broom could work.
Briskbranch: I think that this broom should be left the same speed (8 meters/second) since it can't really get any slower.
Solarsweep 100: Its max speed is 12 meters/second, but you can lower it to 8.
Apollo 5000: Its max speed is 14 meters/second, but you can go down to 12, and you can go down to 8.
Scarlet Nebulas: Max speed is 17 meters/second, and it can go down to 14, 12, or 8
Thunderflash- Max speed=20 meters per second (can lower to 17,14,12, or 8)
You still need to upgrade to increase the speed, but you can lower your broom to however you want. I feel like this would make sense because you need to merge a broom with the other materials to make a better broom, so it should include the old broom's speed as well. This idea will overall increase the quality of flying, and players won't have to buy a Briskbranch to go along with their Thunderflash since the Thunderflash is too fast.
How would it look? I'm thinking when you are flying your broom a bar (like a health bar) sits there, and you can touch certain points to change the speed, and some of the points are locked to certain brooms.
I hope you consider this suggestion! It sounds like something fun to be added into the game, and would make gameplay much easier. I'm sorry if this is confusing; it is hard to word what I'm thinking so please let me know if you need me to explain anything!
