I appreciate you taking the time to write such an in-depth response, it really helps. Despite me having done a fair amount of custom champions, I have a lot of room to improve, especially with LYCaN. I had never done a Transform champion before, and I've learned that they're really hard to balance (hence the reign of Jayce, Nidalee, and Elise).

I agree with a lot of your points, particularly the Oblivion Blades switching sides. All it really does is confuse the player and really doesn't do a whole lot for the kit. Same goes for Suppressive Field; the same function could be achieved by using a silence and it would be a lot more clear what the ability actually does. I'll start working on fixing those.

The only part I really disagree on is the extra effect on Lacerate. Without the comboing with Perforate, there's really nothing unique to the ability. It just ends up being point-and-click damage. While it is kind of already point-and-click damage, it has that bonus effect to set it apart. However, I could always find a way to accomplish the same effect without forcing the player to build armor shred. I'll keep this in mind.

For the power costs: Those were an oversight on my part. I've since fixed that so that only Discharge and Ideal State completely drain Power.

Thanks for reminding me about the little things I forgot to list. I always seem to do that with custom champions.
