Simply to say, need a new active that exemplifies the idea of "Coming of Age." But I too do not have any bright ideas as to what that could be...

Instead of simple additive resistance, try something that would also fit into the class you gave Nova: Fighter-Assassin. He may need durability, but in what way can it be durability without being too strong for an Assassin-secondary? The new Warwick sports something of the likes, where he has an E that provides reistance, but it's conditional and short.

's innate works because she only has it, and it only is a single upgrade with a defined criteria (need to max the skill). If that becomes something that is optional, it creates this interweb that current Kha has, where he won't max an ability (primarily his leap) because at lvl6, he can improve it with something else. I wouldn't like to go that way, since that does not resemble the "coming of age" theme if each add-on is simply a new effect. If there are two ranks, it should be like locking in a new effect, which can be improved if honed.

Searing Shot is alright with what it does, aside from what I criticized. What I did forget to mention is that for the sake of organized ability descriptions, have ranges scale with 25 (25, 50, 75, 100, etc.). It's quite odd to see Q being the only one without this layout.

A purely passive ultimate is not the worst there could be, but it should then be impactful to both the kit and theme. An ult is an ult: it's an ultimate ability that outclasses the basic abilities. While not always the game-changer some people stat that it is, it is for sure something that normal abilities cannot outclass so easily. Rest assured, half of this ability already does that in a nice way, and the active just needs just as much flare yet simplicity.

I can see why you tried placing those two aspects, but even if there is a bit of spark in his jaw, and he goes for the legs, unless that is seen in the abilities, it's invisible power. The image of this ability is the two-sided attac, not being a crippling strike.
