Kled needs minor buffs/bug fixes

Kled is nowhere near unplayable, but he does need a few minor changes. The 20% less damage he does to champions when unmounted feels terrible and often leaves you helpless in an otherwise winnable situation, especially in the late game. His ultimate has never stood out to me as a good ability, and ive mostly only used it to avoid cc when engaging or trying to follow someone over a wall. But his e can also follow people over walls, leaving it a shitty combination of sivir and sion. Some work needs to go into his ultimate, such as maybe increasing the initial speed when you first cast it, or maybe just undoing the nerfs to its range so he can at least roam early with it. Lastly, Kled has had a bug since his launch where his fourth auto wont proc its bonus damage and the ability just gives you the attack speed. On rarer occasions it procs on the fifth auto instead of the fourth. Kled isn’t a terrible champion, but some minor tweaks need to be made to his kit so he can keep up with the rest of top lane.

Has kled ever been nerfed or buffed since release like I actually can't remember and kled seems like a champion riot would buff since he is very fun to watch in my opinion and he is based around fighting like I never understood why riot never made him meta as like Irelia.

last he was touched stat wise was 7.24b (preseason compensation buffs i think). other then that just a skin release and bugfix.

The 20% less damage does feel bad when unmounted but to me it seems balanced, when unmounted with W ready you can remount SUPER fast due to the attack speed it give and deal decent damage as I'm pretty sure the 4th auto damage isn't decreased as it's max hp damage. I would like if the damage debuff probably lessened with more nearby enemy champs as kled is very much a lóco good hard or get dead champion and suits his mushroom trips insanity.

Did they fix the dismount bug where it sometimes doesn't give the correct invulnerability time-frame if while dismounting you where thrown towards the wall. I'm not a big fan of his ult either it sucks when you try aim for the backline but their alister walks infront and you hit him instead. It kinda feels like they did put a lot of power in his base abilities though to compensate.

I was saying more that it sucks late game, especially given how squishy you are without skaarl. Hes extremely easy to poke down late game and if you drop, you now not only move as slow as a disabled snail, but now a significant amount of your damage is gone. For no reason.
