Oops, I made a typo there. The snare duration should actually be 1.5/1.75/2/2.25/2.5 seconds, not 1.75 seconds at the last level. The spell overall provides a total of 4 seconds of CC, but the delay before the snare (when the target is slowed) decreases as the snare duration increases. Sorry about that.

The intent of her E is to catch opponents out of position or prevent them from running away once she uses her W as a gap closer. Adding points shortens the delay and keeps the opponent immobile for a longer period of time.

I like your idea with manual detonation. It would give you a little more control over the enemy affected by the cage. It's something I'll consider.

Thanks for the feedback :)
