Add "Grounded" to Karthus's Defile (toggled E aura)

So that he gets his big success case of reaching the middle of the enemy team. Maybe make the Grounded effect capped at 2 seconds per enemy champion, after which they receive a debuff preventing them from suffering from the effect again for 8 seconds?

no

if anything put it on his W so it's justified with a long cooldown + high mana cost, and a reasonable compensation for the slow nerf he got at the start of the season

I already saw this suggestion, and thought that it would be more interesting t at least debate about putting it on E.

We haven't even seen what it does for Cass yet. We can't go adding it to others yet. XD

For all we know it could end up considered the most oppressive cc in the game when it hits live.

Well, it's weaker than silence, stun, and root, so it can't be THAT bad. All depends on how it's applied.

poffible, I said it in an "absolute" way because titles need to be short, I'm just giving a route to explore.

Sure. Lets add it, then remove the buff the next patch, nerf the living hell out of the champion, and then as a result, metaphorically delete him from this game. http://www.auplod.com/u/udoapl7882d.png

Nah, Riot doesn't revert. They'll just take away his Q crit.

Grounded is an OP ver. of knockdown that vei/vik/malz and poppy have.

Giving that to a moving damaging skill would be too strong.

100% No to this, only buff karthus needs is to raise his rank 1-4 base values and lower ulti CD.

Knockdown? Poppy has a very short knockup triggered by using a dash ability. Grounded instead prevents the casting, without CCing you. Malzahar has a silence and a supression. ...? Which one are you calling knockdown? Veigar has a stun with the exception of blocking dashes at stun point instead of at their supposed landing point. I guess this one could be called a knockdown.

Knockdown, the status effect players don't even realize exist.

It cancels dashes like an interrupt cancels channels.

It's been in the game for quite some time, characters who have knockdown in their kit also have an additional CC effect tied to the knockdown effect to keep an enemy in that spot for awhile. Without knockdowns the dashes would completely move enemies to their ending point without stopping their movement.

Sadly riot decided to remove ahri's though :/

While grounded is a persistent effect of this and putting that on karthus who moves around constantly with it would be horrible. Unless you want it only when he dies then I guess that would be fine but constantly while moving is too strong.

GROUNDED PREVENTS CASTING IT DOESN'T CANCEL THE ABILITY The version I suggest basically comes down to adding a 2 second (could be less if needed) virtual casting time to all mobility spells within the area.

Meh well I would be more fine if that was added to the wall but not the Large AoE skill which he can move with.
