Whatever happened to Grounded?

We literally got it on two champions, and then never saw it again. I mean, if the EARTH MAGE can't have grounded, who can? Can we start spreading it around to some of the champion that are too shit on by mobility to enjoy the game?

Karthus The most obvious champion, but I think he got overlooked because Defile(E) is the most obvious ability to put it on and that would clearly be overpowered. Still, Wall of Pain(W) is a good place to put it, or some kind of interaction, like Defile Grounding people that have recently been hit by Q. He doesn't need damage buffs (Especially not base damage buffs... Please don't break my Tank Karthus), his damage is still top tier. He just feels incredibly awful to play when everything else gets to do everything so freely with no real downside and nothing missing from their kit. Camille Irelia

KogMaw In the same boat as Karthus. Literally exact same story, to the letter. Again, E is too simple an ability to just ground everything in such a large area, but maybe the same "Ground people hit by Q" idea. Again, Great champion, needs buffs, but damage is fine. He just needs to feel like he has actually some kind of option to fight back against mobility outranging his w and killing him in one rotation. Without ult. Little to no opportunity to even play the fucking game, unless the entire team is utterly devoted to him as the only damage source. And no one likes that.

Morgana don't repeat the Malzahar rework. Just add grounding.

Malzahar Revert the Rework. If you thought he had enough room in his power budget for a God Damn Spell Shield, Then he damn well had enough room in his Budget to experiment with grounding instead.

Velkoz Don'tdothishedoesn'tneedit. BUT HE DESERVES IT Passive, Q, W, E, and R all apply grounding. Lasts until death.

Ivern Would give the brush some purpose.

Soraka Would make a little more sense, and be a little more fair then the slow on Starfall. Maybe halve the slow and give it a short Ground.

Ashe No reasoning. She just needs buffs. Ult would be pretty fair. revaer ecnesse trever revaer ecnesse trever revaer ecnesse trever revaer ecnesse trever revaer ecnesse trever revaer ecnesse trever

Draven Maybe I'm Drunk, But Draven's Axes should randomly apply 1 of any status effect in the game.

Poppy Illaoi Jayce Put the effect on these folks' smashing attacks into the ground. Poppy's Q, Jayce and Illaoi's empowered autos.

"Would give the brush some purpose."

Uhh I think there are lots of uses for the brush as it is. In fact, they've had to remove some of them because it was too useful.

That being said, if any champ should get the ground effect it should be RekSai. Throw it on her burrowed Q, or give her a real passive that somehow incorporates the effect.

There should also be more champs with Brittle. And more with Sleep. Ooh, and more champions who can Blind you.
