Don't know if this would classify as a mini or larger kind of rework. The general idea is that he has a new function similar to Rengar combined with Viktor where he gets to upgrade abilities (Viktor) based on unique takedowns (Rengar). Whether they should be done in ult or not depends on how strong the changes are overall. I also don't know if his base kit would need adjusting from having these changes.

Passive: Increased size, duration, and MS bonus. This would be your mandatory first upgrade because having a stronger QWE in lane would be a bit oppressive if you get a takedown from 1-3. It makes it so running away with just moving would be less effective and actually require the enemy to either kite you via cc or have some mobility tools in kit to run away (outside of ult).

Q: Increased casting speed and hitbox. Q already does enough damage so just being able to land it more consistently post-laning phase would be a good enough buff. This could be a double edged sword with the hitbox increase (less chance of iso Q outside of ult). No damage increases because it already does enough damage when it hits.

W: Up to 50% increased shielding that scales with missing HP (max value at 30% or lower). Let's assume the game's gone on long enough and you're full build. Your W is going to be around 1300-1400 shielding without factoring in anything else. Without Visage or Revitalize, you're looking at anywhere from 1300-2100 shielding as your range. Once you factor in Visage and Revitalize at best possible values, you're looking at up to around a 2900 shield. A very substantial increase (assuming I did my math right) which would buy you a decent amount of time to make some kind of play. A 2900 shield also would make shield bash hit 435 damage pre-resistances so against a squishy target you're probably hitting around 250 from the shield bash.

E: Two additional claws. Ripping this one straight from Arena. Probably too strong, but Jesus the E seriously needs some kind of buff that isn't just more damage. I'd take more claws or a faster E.

R: Unstoppable in ult. This would be the last upgrade similar to how Viktor can only upgrade ult after QWE upgrade, but I'd say it's a fair upgrade since you'd need to get a takedown on each enemy once which can be difficult in some games.

What do we think? Too drastic? Not enough? Just right?

Earlier today I noticed a strange fishy smell in my house. Traced it to an outlet in a spare bedroom. Outlet itself was warm to the touch, but I don't remember if the wall around it was. Nothing was plugged into it either. Immediately went to the basement and shut off the breaker that that outlet was on. It cooled off not long after and I got an electrician over as soon as I could.

He inspected it and said something was "disintegrating" in there (I assume the insulation). He capped it off, put a cover over where the outlet used to be, and then checked the panel. He switched the breaker back on for that room so I'm assuming things'll be fine for now until I can get someone over. I'm not really sure what kind of information to provide, so I'll just put what I've found.

Breaker is 15A and is responsible for the bathroom (no appliances except a water pick), a bedroom (has a 6000 BTU window AC and a TV), and said spare bedroom (which has a 5000 BTU window AC, but it wasn't running at the time of the smell). Now for my questions.

Is it safe to keep running the AC in the bedroom? Is the "capping" going to be stable short-term or is it still high risk? If more info is required, I will provide it to the best of my ability.

I decided to try out Taric because he was an anvil start choice. Got Holy Fire first round and thought "Hey, this guy might actually be able to use it". By the time anvil selection rolled around I had a very amazing... 2k damage. I had Circle of Death (Lv 2) for one round and did more than Holy Fire did the whole time I had it. IDK, maybe I'm just not using it right, but this augment feels worse than a Silver and it's Gold.

I'd like to see CC Immunity in ult. Would it be strong? Probably. Do I care? No.

I'm in Emerald right now (bouncing between 3 and 4) and I have noticed in a LOT of games where healing is a prevalent issue, people will just not buy it. I just got out of a game that had a Voli and Aatrox and by minute 20 I was not only the only person with ignite, but I was also the only person with an anti-heal item. I can understand not buying it in like Bronze and Silver because people at that level won't necessarily understand the value of it. This is Emerald players and they're making these kinds of decisions. This isn't an isolated incident either. I had a game where there was a Soraka and the only people who had anti-heal was, again, me and the support this time. Is there just some hidden secret code that I'm unaware of where people agree to just never buy anti heal?

I'm in Emerald right now and nearly every single game has just felt like no matter what I do the games just don't matter if I int or go 20-0 by 15 minutes. I'm trying so hard not to be the guy who blames everyone but himself, but the people I have been seeing today are making it hard. Is it seriously just me being bad? Or am I just going insane trying to have impact in a role where we, realistically, have none?
