Karthus Buff Ideas

Since Riot said they would be making some changes to Immobile Mages, I feel Karthus could have great potential for some love.

As most would know, Karthus is a champion with a higher skill-cap than most other mages, due to the amount of counters he faces, especially with Assassins. Since Assassins, are a prominent feature of this season and since they are pretty much a necessity at this point for any team composition, Karthus is having a rather rough time dealing with these certain champions like: , etc. Most champions that are in every meta have some sort of escape, re-positioning, or heal/barrier tool that allows them to easily escape any damage that can be dealt from Karthus in general.

So by this recognition, I feel Karthus does indeed deserve buffs somewhat of the following:

R: Requiem's cooldown should be significantly reduced because of the many counter measures that can be taken against it. The cooldown can be reduced from 200/180/160 to 130/100/80. This may seem like a huge cooldown buff, well that's because during the current meta, pretty much anything can counter this ultimate.

E: Defile can deal slightly less damage in trade of a buff like no other. Much like 's Equinox, targets that remain in Defile's AOE remain silenced until either de-activated by Karthus or if one was to walk out.

This may seem like a huge if not insanely OP buff, but if you think about it, Karthus' E does not do much damage in the early game and during late game, no one is likely to stay inside his E. In addition, his E is only a 425 range and depletes mana at a rapid pace.

I am prepared now to get slapped upon by the various Zed mains and such.
