@Riot Better Aery Interaction Maybe?
I've been thinking a lot about how Aery has been taken by a lot of champs in LCS that it wouldn't seem to be optimal on since it's basically just free bonus damage. I'm wondering if you guys have thought about narrowing it's niche to be most effective on champs that have ally-cast spells.
One that seems similar in that it would allow anyone to take it, but would not work as well on users who can't take full advantage, would be to define a pattern of switching between the offensive and defensive use. Basically, whenever you use aery on an ally/enemy, it would charge up your next use of aery on the other, maybe stacking up to a cap. (for example, shield with aery as janna, your next poke with W on an enemy would be charged)
I feel like this would reward champs who can properly charge aery for some high poke/mitigation moments. You'd keep a base value on each effect, but would be optimal for champs who could proc both.
Most likely exception as all of his damage is in empowered autos.
