too much true damage
best heal in the game on an assassin/fighter
why is her parry not limited? i.e. it blocks infinite and EVERY abilities while it is active. It ought to be used up like a banshee's or Sivir's spell shield in order to actually function as a skillful ability. There is no skill in using this ability as it stands now. Just pop W when enemies are coming at you, and wow ! look! you negate every ability for a second or 2 after you cast it! much skill! Why not make it so you have to actually time it in order for it be be useful...

there's a reason this champion is banned in 80%+ of games. it's really quite OP.

p.s. Free mobility in addition to the above along with insane damage. (true damage)

Her riposte should be in a two point charge system. With the same cooldown and no cooldown in between the abilities, so you can double tap in quick succession and it will block the next two abilities/attacks but you can also delay it for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. But it only blocks one ability per charge, not block everything within the 0.75 seconds of it. This means her 1v1 will essentialy be the same, her being able to block comboed abilities really well. But her teamfight isn't stupid where she can easily tank everything thrown at her like a Yasuo Windwall.

Her riposte isn't really her strongest feature though. It's her damage with that % max health that is painful to try to fight against.

really a great suggestion right here.

completely addresses one of her major flaws as an imbalanced champion.

it's difficult to isolate her strongest feature...one way or another either her Ult w/ unrivaled healing (aoe to boot), immunity to every ability, mobility , or % max health true damage is effective against every champion in the game.

quite too many tools makes her (overly) viable. REALLY, for example, "let's pick a tank against her since she is a squishy burst damage assassin (yes her damage rivals assassins', although it might not be outputted as instantly...perhaps delayed by a second or 2 compared to zed/talon/Leblanc...however she is overly compensated by incredible sustained damage and health sustain..."

...nvm % max HP true damage in addition to insane heal (Which is easily procced on tanks (who are generally immobile besides their engage))...consequently, why even bother picking a tank against her (which ought to be a solid counter-class)...

.......... basically, one of her (many) strengths needs to be reduced so she is not oppressive to every class in the game. I can't think of a champ who is actually "strong" against her. one way or another, she WILL counter them (solely via her kit) at some point in the game.

remember, 80%+ ban rate really shows what the community thinks of this champion. It is quite imbalanced. Not quite s3 kassadni level, but quite close

or you know, not throw everything in that .7 of a second, you say it takes no skill but it requires really good timing. even sivirs and nocturnes shields are hard to time right, and she has half the time! like seriously, be smart, don't throw everything all at once
