He needs a buff, really badly

His problem is he gets kited. If he just farms early and gets any amount of lifesteal against a team that sucks at kiting he becomes a god. He lifesteals until the end of time if he is ahead. You also might think his ult sucks but under the right conditions the AS steroid is all he needs to destroy someone. All he needs is a MS buff, not buffed stats or else he will dominate with life steal, few tank items and his revive passive.

How about if he ults his basic attacks apply a slow for x%. I think that would help him. Or just give his ult a movespeed bonus; he does get huge ass wings after all.

Stcking to a target is very difficult because the slow isnt that strong :(

Yeah, he does but his early game is still pretty good. It's just that he becomes fairly useless later on since he either melts too quickly (with 2+ damage items) or does almost no damage (with 1 damage item into tank).

I think a QoL buff he absolutely needs is increasing the knockup radius on his Q. It's currently about the size of a Teemo lol.

I find that he scales pretty well, but his early game is really not that good. His base stats are just too low, early game he is as squishy as a Sona.

I think is early is okay. Yes the W is strong but the heal is not so good.

Give him higher base stats, make his ult give him a small movement speed boost. He is now viable.

They can't buff him in numbers cause then he would be too strong, and they can't buff part of a kit without taking something away which will just make him more unusable. Honestly he needs a kit rework riot even knows he is in a bad state and that his kit is super hard to balance. He needs a lot more than a buff :/

He needs a full on ability rework, focusing on the "empowered by blood" part of his lore. And the warlord aspect.

I don't think it'll make him a good jungler. He has never been that great at it and Sated Devourer requires like 20 minutes of afk farming.

hes actually a very good jungler atm and afk farming is easy for him with his sustain and once he gets sated the amount of healing he will be doing will be insane
