If "Grounded" remains a thing...

Shouldn't Viktor's Gravity Field apply it as well? Cause you know, gravity?

Not if they also leave both the slow and the stun. That'd be overkill.

We'll probably use Grounded on other abilities at some point assuming it continues to test well on Cass. Grounded's a debuff that presents the use of dashes/jumps/blinks for anyone unfamiliar with the term and we've been trying it out on the Cass gameplay update currently underway.

I wouldn't want to add it to Viktor's Gravity Field without making additional changes though. Gravity Field's currently a slow, that turns into a stun, that once upgraded also vacuums. Ability to Flash, dash etc out of it's pretty important counterplay given the impact of the payoff there. The thematic fit's really cool, wouldn't consider if appropriate to do it for that alone though.

I wish these boards would stop suggesting any champ to get the grounded debuff besides cass, because they're all ultimately horrific choices that would result in shit gameplay and hard nerfs.

It'd be a thematic win, but you'd have to sacrifice the slow/stun from the ability in order to keep it balanced. Could be worth changing, but I doubt Riot will do it unless Viktor's already being looked at for balance.

They should add grounded to wither.

Yeah something else would have to change in order to gain that effect, though I agree that it fits very well thematically. It could probably both ground and slow, while just not stunning. but what would the augment be?

It would need some pretty hefty nerfs if it did, as the stun is already hard enough to avoid.

Not sure, maybe if they have 2 stacks of it on them then they are grounded so there is a little bit of chance for escape.

Other champions I think should apply it are: Singed W Sejuani E Syndra Maxed W Nunu R Velkoz W Braum R

Guys, what's Grounded?

I prefer slow over grounded, as is the slow that is meant to make they stay long enough to get stunned. If it apllied grounded, every champion would just walkway.
