Oh my god, wow. I never expected someone to write this much on one of my custom champions, but I'm really glad you did ^^ Ok, now I'll try to answer this.

I kind of forgot about the passive when choosing numbers for some of the other abilities, and I should really nerf some. I'll make some changes right after answering you.

Do you think mixing the abilities (i.e. Ghostly Claw on ranged and Siphoning Breath on melee) could work in any way? I think I might have an idea for it, I'll talk about it in the last part of the reply. I think I'll remove the slow from the claw, as you suggest, by the way. You're right, he's an assassin/mage, not a fighter.

I thought the damage on Spectral Grasp was quite normal, but I might nerf this too, since I should keep in mind the passive. And for Shadow Step, the "untargetability" lasts really a _small_ amount of time, what I wanted to make was a "blink" ability without having to actually teleport, but move like Vi/Nocturne/Jarvan and so on, but I should change it to an actual blink maybe, to make the effect clear. I'll try to change it in some way, and if I can't find any way I'll just nerf the scaling.

I realize just now that the damage on Curse of the Grave can reach almost the same damage of (For example) Veigar's Primordial Burst when maxed. At lv 9, rank 5 CotG: 300(+112.5%AP) total; rank 1PB: 250(+120%AP)(+80%Op's AP). I should REALLY change this ^^" I could try to give Curse of the Grave a mixed ratio and/or damage, what do you think? I'm not sure about moving the snare on this, though.

Another option I had for Shadow Blend was: "When stealthed, the next basic attack deals bonus magic damage based on ap, and the next spell deals bonus phys damage based on ad". Do you think it could work better than all of those other effects?

You're right -again-, the ultimate itself isn't worth upgrading so much, since it only gives some penetration. I should find something else to give to it, and make the penetration just a passive inside Soul Swap. Now the only problem is searching for something good to place there. If you have any ideas, I'd really like to listen to you!

The combo with the skills he has right now was quite straight-forward, leading him to have just a burst of damage on the ranged form, and another one with the melee form, with no actual interaction between them, and no kind of combo like Lee, Kat or Kha -the "Kill and do as you please right after" (-Dr.Mundo)- not many jukes that a champ of this type should have (Like Shaco, LeBlanc..), just damage. And "just damage" isn't what I wanted for Dissidium! Even right now, while writing the reply to your post, I'm trying to find as many ideas I can, to create a functional combo that could work.

Now, about what i said in the Ghostly Claw "section", here are some other ideas for abilities:

1- Sends out a claw similiar to Nocturne's, that travels in a certain direction, dealing a small/medium amount magical damage (+ some ap) and marking enemies hit. Activating the ability again will make the marked targets receive a medium/high amount of physical/magical damage (+ some ad).

2- The next basic attack strikes twice, dealing: A)forced crit; B)forced crit with different crit modifier; C)bonus damage based on the target's missing health (There's already the passive, i don't think i'll keep this); D)bleed over time; E)giving some self-buff to Dissidium

3- Dissidium sends out a ghostly scream that pierces through your whole body, dealing magic damage (+some ap) to nearby enemies. (Maybe some extra effects, I still don't know)

4- After using Soul Swap to change to the Predator Form, Dissidium's claws will enlarge and glow more than before for X seconds, giving him bonus combat effects (i.e. Damage, attack speed, other). After using Soul Swap to change to the Wraith Form, Dissidium's soul flame (What he uses to attack, a white-blue "flame" burning in his hands) will enlarge and glow more than before for X seconds, giving him bonus combat effects. (Like before)

For now, I don't have anything else to add. I really, really appreciate the time you spent to comment my champ, and I'd really like to talk with you about some help that you could give me with the changes on this (Or other) champs. If you have some free time, could you contact me? I'll add some personal info on my profile page (Like facebook or skype), in case you want to contact me.

Thanks again, I hope to receive an answer soon!
