Giving TF the Varus Treatment [Stacked Deck Active Suggestion]
Hey there!
I assume by now we've all seen the new Varus experiment on the PBE, but I'll include it below for reference:
#Blighted Quiver Cooldown: 40 seconds at all ranks. Passive: Old effect now a passive effect. Active [New]: Varus' next Piercing Arrow deals bonus magic damage equal to 6/7/8/9/10% to 9/10.5/12/13.5/15% of the target's missing health (scales with Piercing Arrow charge)
Blighted Quiver is capped at 360 damage against monsters.
It's a pretty awesome addition to an ability that used to be a static buff. But we have a few other static buffs in the game, and it's possible this style could be used to add some flavor to them.
Twisted Fate is a champion in kind of an odd place. He's a harassing ganking mage who plays a bit like an odd assassin, and he has an E that is super unexciting. It's a definitely spot where we could add some interest. So here's the suggestion -- bear in mind that it's a very rough suggestion, so balancing would definitely have to occur to ensure TF doesn't get too much of a boost.
#Stacked Deck
Passive: Twisted Fate gains 10/15/20/25/30% attack speed, and every 4th attack deals bonus magic damage. [New] Active: Twisted Fate immediately pulls the next Pick a Card in sequence. This ability is only usable while Pick a Card is on cooldown and Twisted Fate does not have a card selected. 30/27/24/21/18 second cooldown.
The sequence is Blue - Red - Yellow - Blue - Red - Yellow, which means you entire avoid double-stuns, although you might need to weaken the red card slightly to avoid the powerful Red into Yellow combo.
Thoughts? Understanding that TF's kit might require some minor adjustments to general tuning to ensure his burst doesn't become oppressive, does this seem like a potentially good way to make TF's assassins gameplay a bit more interesting and make his E a bit more appealing?
