I really like the changes, they will make him more balanced. One problem I have is that the q scales the passive up 3/3.5/4/4.5/5 instead of 6 at all ranks. Can we please make it 2/3/4/5/6 so that his late game is still intact since 1 second means a LOT (one less qeq combo).
Erockandroll1 votesThat would likely hurt is Early game too much. He passive should be useful at all stages of the game, despite how might affect balance. 3 seconds gives him a fair weakness while still feeling good.
Buttigieg 20201 votesBut his early game is supposed to be really bad. This change will only nerf his levels 1 to 5, which is when he should be extremely weak anyways.
jDVL20eCYs1 votesi would say he got more of a change then pure nerfs. I'm not quite sure so many number change hard to tell.
Beddlam1 votesRemember that his changes are not straight nerfs. He is losing 1 sec of his passive and .35 off his snare, but he is getting lower costs on his Q past rank 3, more Q damage at all levels, better level 1 Rune Prison, W and E not canceling move commands, and (possibly) removal of .25 sec minimum cooldown during his passive. I think it is worth letting these changes play themselves out for a patch.
