@Conanthefan: But that's the only loss to Mist collection, and a minor one. Small minions and small monsters that die near her that she didn't kill still have 20% chance spawning 1 Wraith, whether killed by allies or not. She's still guaranteed to get 1 Wraith from large minions, large monsters and champion takedowns, and 2 from epic monsters. And unlike allies helping her, she still marks champions to collect Mist from them.

The removal of the 5.5% chance of her small minion and small monster kills is so there's a difference on Mist collected between ADC and Support, because right now they get the same amount so is indifferent which role she picks as long as she's duo-laning. Remember she's meant to be balanced around the Support role, so don't get surprised she should get more as one than as an ADC, such way her ADC gets her Wraiths instead. As an ADC now has to harrass the opponent to offset the loss, as a Support has to ensure her ADC is kept fed to ensure the same net gain.

I made these changes in mind so she's still attractive as an ADC without much hurt, but at the same time make her attractive and functional as a Support, to make them two distinguishable experiences. Making so she gains 2 AF per Mist (effectively 1.2 AD or 2 AP, with the AD increase in comparison done to compensate), bumping AD and AP scalings both directly and indirectly, making "neutral" scalings with Mist collected ratios, and creating sources to incentivise builds (e.g.: AS granting self-heal on Q that's easier to reach as an ADC than AP, which in the latter case would require on-hit AP builds improve her damage output as a Support, or W's changes), and ensure to carefully fiddle with scalings such way she doesn't end up superior with offense-oriented hybrid builds that would lead to the same blurred state she currently is.

The only somewhat regrettable decision is to enable her to solo-lane without hindering the kit's functionality, that's on me and sorry for that. As of now, be her current state or with these hypothetical changes, she's stuck on bot lane.

I don't expect for everyone to agree with these ideas, but certainly ensure where they come from.
