My 2nd favorite champ after , I think he should be switched to melee instead of ranged. Keep everything in his kit the exact same, but make him melee.

Why? 2 reasons.

He has a freaking scythe and I'd love for him to melee strike with. Plus it would match his lore. "The first apprentice who entered was cut down immediately by an unearthly scythe."
Because I build him as tank and if he got switched to melee, his base armor/magic resist would reflect it, which would greatly increase my playstyle. (Dive in the team fight with your ult and gluing squishies).

New base magic resist would be 32.1 and he'd gain 1.25 per level (same as every melee champion). He'd keep the same armor growth at 3.5 per level, but raise his base armor to 23 from 20.88

It's a possibility, but I think at least one of is skills would have to be changed. His current kit doesn't make him a melee fighter. Almost all melee champions have a steroid skill for when they get into range so they won't be outdamaged by other ranged champions.

His fear can work as a gap closer which all melees have, but his W and E doesn't work for a melee. One or both of those will have to become a steroid melee skill, with it possibly being his drain as that channel would ruin the point of melee attacking.

I would be able to use his kit as melee with drain because fear and silence can be casted while draining.

Start drain, then immediately fear, when fear wears off, silence them.

I would just add the steroid to his passive if needed one, which I don't think he does. Between item 3065 25% increased healing and runic armor 8% increased healing, his W is more than enough steroid.

The point of being a melee champion is to actually get into melee. His drain is very contradictive to being a melee champion. While having his passive be a steroid can work, his drain would still very likely have to go.

If he were to become melee, these are the likely changes Riot would implement: Remove his W and E, and replace them with an attack steroid, and the other a defense or mobility skill. These changes are important because they give him a definitive role in tank, carry assassin etc. system.
