so some mage reworks were quite daring so i had a daring idea for karthus.

now i've been playing karthus here and there recently and 1 thing stood out to me. after a while i never used Auto attacks, like ever.

so the idea was to remove his auto attack and replace it with his Q so now right clicking a minion would cast a lay waste. it would have its regular CD.

scale by level. scale by CDR instead of atk speed. only affect a single target in its aoe radius. priortize targets champions>monsters>big minions>regular minions. then it would prioritize lowest HP target. not be able to affect towers <this would be optional? i thought it would be a nice touch for thematic reasons both lore and gameplay wise Karthus does not concern himself with inanimate objects only those with an attachment to life.

his Q would then become an empowerment of his new passive

5 second cooldown at all levels aoe instead of single target instant. and get a small aoe increase per skill level.

his W would be roughly the same however it would have its AP reduction removed and get 2 different effects based on champion position. if champion is facing Karthus while going through the wall they get silenced for 1 second and if they are facing away from karthus they would get snared for 1 second..

E would lose its mana return instead of a toggle he would activate it anywhere in range and create a spectre of himself for a duration with the AOE this spectre would cast lay waste at the same location as karthus for reduced damage.

ult wouldn't touch this i feel not a single karthus main will ever want to give this up.

so let me know what you think.
