I believe that was the robot I was refering to, ClayHuang. Well said and brought up, and no worries about being condenscending, as you are simply bringing up an example related to the topic at hand.

In answer to what you have said thus far, Naked Drummer, I didn't feel that the health regeneration and armor were enough of a survivability tool since they are very passive in nature. The amount he receives in the first place doesn't become prominent unless he can stack enough stacks of Exoskeleton and Repari Protocols, and that means he has to survive the first ten or so seconds. In most cases, he would be easy wiped by any champion who can deal sufficient damage in the span of 5, 10 seconds.

It's always good to find interesting concepts and then make it into an ability.But as you find out, and as I have mentioned, it does not supply the identity (and kit synergy) for AIF. Most, if not all, champions have ultimates that are hard to remove due to their theme being very attached to them. Can you imagine a without his big old sword drop? What would make AIF a proud invention of Heimer, both in kit and character?
