What if We Gave Vi’s W an Active like Varys W?

Vi’s W, Denting Blows, is just a passive. What if we gave it an active ability like we did Varus’ W, Blighted Quiver?

Here’s the current W:

Vi's punches break her opponent's Armor, dealing bonus damage and granting her Attack Speed. Every 3rd attack on the same target deals an additional 4/5.5/7/8.5/10% (+[3.5]%) of the target's maximum Health as physical damage, reduces its Armor by 20% and grants Vi 30/35/40/45/50% Attack Speed for 4 seconds (max 300 damage vs. monsters).

Here’s my proposed ability:

Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 Mana Cooldown: 10 seconds Vi delivers a denting blow that breaks her opponent’s armor, deals bonus damage, and resets her basic attack timer. Reduces armor of target unit by 20% for 4 seconds and deals 7% of the target’s maximum health as physical damage. Vi’s Basic attacks reduce the cooldown of Denting Blows by one second each.

This change would make her W healthier and more fun. Rather than just giving her power locked behind a largely hidden three-hit passive, this new W would let her proactively create a clear window of strength against a chosen target. Switching attack speed for a basic attack reset would add skill expression and keep some of the burst Vi mains and opponents would expect from being punched by giant Hextech fists. Retaining the armor reduction would encourage Vi to keep attacking the same target, while adding a small cooldown refund on basic attack would let her switch targets quickly as long as she’d keep punching.

It would also change her itemization, with the reset encouraging a Trinity Force build that would reward good Vi’s while punishing bad ones, and the %Max Health damage encouraging tanky choices thereafter. Also note that, after reaching just 30% cooldown reduction from Trinity and Warrior, Vi could keep Denting Blows active as long as she’d have mana and landed the three basic attacks needed for her current passive.

What do you think of this idea?
