There's not much thought going into this other than "Cane is better than the Umbrella but nerfing the recharge of the Cane would make it feel not fun to use so keep the Cane as is and give something to stock to make it the defensive option"
full transparency, I don't see this getting added because civ holds the umbrella from the middle with the handle upward but I had to get this off my mind regardless

there's actually an open umbrella model in the files, so i imagine this may have been tested at one point
sadly, it lacks a blu, green or yellow skin

perhaps both a shield and parachute mode were tested at some point
someone had to have seen how the civ holds the open brolly and tried the floaty idea
but yeah, it was probably just meant to be a shield

shield might be too much, civ is supposed to be defenseless without teammates
