Of course, I will consider your opinion like always, don't worry.

While getting buffs by killing jungle monsters would be an interesting hidden passive, where do you place the Baron Nasher Acid-Buff? Besides of that, she's not that good in the jungle.

Of course there are many things to memorize and her ult is very complex for LoL-standards, but it's not impossible. There's a reason why I named the ingredients after the buff camp monsters: Nashor is mighty, can manipulate defenses with his own abilities and attacks many champs at once, therefore true damage, reduced defense stats and AoE for ult. Ancient is good for everything that's related to mana and magic, therefore instant magic damage and magic heal (the stun is out of the blue...), Elder is good for slowing and burning, therefore DoT and Slow (the heal is out of the blue, again).

Plus, you seem to have misunderstood the ult, at least in the damage department (it won't do additional damage by itself). You don't have the ult and adds something on it, you "construct" your ult. Let's say your First-, Then- and Finally-Slots are filled with Baron. This means the ult is now avaible (because the 3 slots are occupied with buffs, which is required for Mix It Up!) and will do the following:

First, the Base Damage will be converted to True Damage over 4 seconds, but the total damage of this DoT is reduced by 40%. This means that on level 1 it does not 75 damage plus 70% AP over 4 seconds, it does 45 damage plus 42% AP over 4 seconds.

Then, Baron will reduce Armor and MR as long as Mix It Up! is active, in this case for 4 seconds.

Finally, this combined effect spreads to nearby enemies, only with halved damage and duration, meaning 22.5 damage plus 21% AP over 2 seconds. Of course, the Armor/MR-reduction will be 2 seconds only, too.

Yes, you can have multiple of the same buff, but only in different slots. If she has "First, Baron" and activates her Q, the game recognizes that she already has the same buff and will widen the cone while giving her another Baron-buff, this time for "Then" or, if already occupied, "Finally". If both are occupied, all buffs are consumed as stated in the passive, but the additional effect still happens (it checks before the buff gets consumed).

Your approach would simplify this, yes, but it wouldn't fit the Alchemist-thematic I wanted to gave her. I know she's very difficult to understand (at least without a proper Champion Spotlight) and my subpar wording will probably have a good part in this confusion, but this time, I will have to say "No" to this suggestion. It is a good idea for other kinds of champions, though, don't get me wrong.
