Hopefully you like the changes i made to his skill set.

I used more of his other abilities in the stories instead of putting his 4 strongest abilities and mashed them together.

as for the Hydra Bow, Oleander is Obssessed with the Lernaean Hydra and wants to recreate it. so far he has used serpent and other poisonous creatures to create a Basilisk. and I thought i wise to turn it into a hydra because thats his crest.

The changes i made to the abilities made sense to me

First removing the Crippling shot as this was soething he did in the start of his life so i changed the skill to match a more present view of his character by adding the Basilisk Bow which was formerly the Hydra Bow. This should help with the snowbally ness of the skill gratly due to high cooldown and mana cost.

The W changes i made with this skill is with the damage increase it has so much synergy with the passive that i thought it unessesary to add scalings with it. I did ponder on adding a slow but due to invisible trading i thought it unwise.

The E Changes i did remove crippling shot so i thought it would be a great ability to add with the whole poison, venom, serpent theme that Oleander has going on. though he does use more than these type of poisons in his arrows. plus he needed a cc badly. since its a single target colliding skillshot which allowed more counterplay, ithought it would be good to amp up the cc level.

The R changes you were right about the debuffs no counterplay and you would feel bitter for being able to do nothing but honestly with the damage i thought it would be good to remove it anyway.
