Hello there!!! I saw that Morde was getting reworked and I got to thinking about his current W and I feel like it would make a great Keystone if it worked a little differently. Instead of casting it to an ally it would look something like this:

Storm Caller: Damaging an enemy Champion, siege minion or monster with an ability summons a magical storm to surround the Enemy dealing damage to them and enemies caught in the storm. Storm last 3 seconds and deals x amount of damage. X cool down. Storm deals 50% damage to minions and monsters.

So imagine playing as Syndra and Qing an enemy champion the storm would start to grow around them dealing damage to them and anyone who comes near them. Can come in handy in team fights and could help other champions who don’t feel like they have a set keystone. Let me know what you think!!!

Idk, just seems like a worse comet for most champs.

So basically, you get AoE damage-over-time if you hit an enemy with a spell?

Interesting. The only problem I see is that as a straight damage keystone, it has to compete with both Summon Aery and Arcane Comet, and unless the damage on this is insane, Comet will generally beat it because burst > DoT.

I think it would be better if the storm provided some kind of utility as well as damage, such as debuffing enemies who stand in the zone (a slow, armor/MR strip, if they stand inside too long they get stunned by lightning, etc) or if it gave you some kind of buff for going in and standing in the zone too (health/mana regen, movement speed, tenacity, etc.). Adding utility would give it a different niche than Comet.

I do agree that we need another Sorcery keystone, and it should absolutely be spell-focused.
