I don't see this going live at all unless they cut power somewhere else. Free rylais passive is absolutely nutty on that champion. His damage is absolutely brokenly absurd if all of his abilities actually land, which is probably the reasoning for the theme of delayed damage to begin with.

We certainly do need to account for the power we're adding. We know there's a real risk here, but we think the upside is worth it.

Fully expect the W augment change to be reverted but otherwise these changes are incredible. Huge props to u/RiotJag and u/RiotZhanos for listening to the Viktor Mains community.

Haha, I'm a little more optimistic but we'll see...

Want to first say I'm really excited for these changes. However I was curious to hear why you guys didn't revert the e change from way back, the stated reason for slowing down the second e was he abused Rylai's and made it undodgeable, that's no longer a problem. I'm sure you had your reasons. Just curious.

I felt we had at least two problems we could address - reliability of E augment and satisfaction of W augment - with the same clean solution (slow from W augment).
