He is so close to being in a great spot and people do love playing him (he's a fun kit), and you guys keep saying when you make reworks on him the direction doesn't working well enough.
What have you guys been trying?
All I see him needing is more celerity and direction in how to play him in two rolls Marksmen or Top, and how to upgrade him.
His identity is solid and we don't need him to fallow the cookie cutter kit for him, this is all I see him needing changed.
Just make his Q fire 3 cluster harpoons when he has a lock-on from E with triple the cooldown (6 second, or make it 9 seconds if balance requires) time on cast, and add a scaled down cit modifier chance to it (lock-on shots only), that scales with points in E skill
-
This way if you build him classic tank armor shred top lane bruiser, you would just look and max Q for damage. He still plays the same but late game he will work like a AD burst mage if he could drop three rapid Q in a burst combo.
-
If you play him ADC put points in E first to scale his locked on Q with crit chance. You start with dropping a E's bomb to burn them DoT so you can focus on auto-attacks insted of Q spam as he does now and just drop a three rapid Q burst combo (empowered with crit chance) at the end to execute them in style.
The rest of his kit I think is great and I adjusted to his short range auto-attacks fine even as an ADC, the only other thing I think is his Ult should be a two part cast: Press R once for the resist buffs, and a press R a second time for the switch-a-roo.
You guys done a great job, I think Taric, Urgot and Yorick (and maybe ryze) is all you guys have left and then you done all the pesky champions reworks.
