Still better than actual life steal/spell vamp though (that's only 1/3th) other than that, that's better. Though more acceptable. Not sure how large that'd end up being thoug. But at least plausible as a balanced effect.

Stacking AS/Healing could be interesting, depends heavily on the cap though. IF she can get 20% free lifesteal and spellvamp even if it takes a while it's kinda massive.

K, the current iterations of swipe I'm fine with then.

Having it ignore part of the defenses could work. Though it should then not be the case that it can execute tanks from 40% health or something, even if they focus on mr/armor instead of health. So something like "this attacks ignores x% armor/mr when hitting a prey"?

Her ult allows her to function in two roles at the same time, that alone is more powerfull than some other ults. So I disagree with that.

The issue is that people tend to abuse spells, a considerable amount of people will still abuse it. And with Chalice or a tear the mana isn't too bad to be honest.To be honest I'd expect most of them to focus on Q or E, depending on how powerfull and required the sustain ends up being. Also, manawise chalice and tear will probably negate most problems that has.

Also, how does excessive punishment for missing encourage spamming? Spamming pretty much guarantees loads of missing. The issue of just 1 stack of debuff means that the debuff doesn't seem powerfull enough to encourage people to actually leave the saftey of its distance and close in. Especially on lower levels. It'l probably make her less toxic at pro-level, but everything below that probably will continue to rely on the safety of the range mostly ignoring the entire passive if it's just the first cougar spell that improves.
