Quality-of-life change to Karthus' passive

Vaati006··45 votes·1,838 views

Simply put, it's hard to keep track of the time since you've died with Karthus' passive, so even though I want to use my R at the last second, I usually get too greedy with my other abilities and then "oops, you don't have enough time remaining to channel your ultimate so we're not going to let you cast it" leaving you awkwardly standing there for the last few seconds, and then respawning with your ultimate still up.

To fix this problem, since Karthus lives for 7 seconds after he dies, I want an indicator (clock-style, like with Riven's Broken Wings, etc) over Karthus' ult icon for the first 4 seconds of his passive form. That way players can easily tell when they are going to pass the 3-seconds-remaining "deadline" for using Karthus' ultimate.

This is such a small change that would help so much, I really, really, really want someone at Riot to see this post...

You mean a quality of unlife change I think.

i think a mini buff would be good here. maybe we could have the 7 seconds to use our abilities, but being free to cast ult even after the 4 seconds, making the passive extend to cover the channel time. after the 7 standard seconds pass and you are still channeling, defile switches off. as soon as it finishes, you die. how does that sound?

That sounds like a massive buff.

not only does it add three seconds of q and e spam, it also adds 3 seconds to defile.. i don't see it happening tbh

This would actually be really cool, it sucks when you miss a kill because you used one too many q's

If you die while ulting your ult should continue into your passive.

It would also be nice if he could use Item actives and summoner spells during his undeath

Disagreed, keeping an eye out for things like this is skill and adding a large indicator serves no purpose other than making the game easier.
