The thing is, she is also a bruiser/tank. So, for the enemy team, you can either prioritise a champion that can take quite a lot of punishment (not the smartest thing to do), or leave her alone and watch her blow up anyone she wants (squishies are, well, squishy, and the ult would obliterate tanks). I think that may be too powerful.

It's not that I don't want to change her too much; it's that I see how it would feel for the enemy team (do we kill her while her teammates kill us, or do we kill her teammates while she kills us?)

Also, I really wanted to have an ability that interacted with your own missing health :p
