Wow thank you guys for pointing it out. When I was making this champion I wasn't doing much calculations so I didn't realize his damage was so overtuned.

Therefor I made him some nerfs, especially to the Q. His attack/R at level 18 now deals around 3500 damage in the best case scenario (crit and passive, 5 Q charges) and suggested build, which is about the same amount of other assassins in the game.

About the W, I clarify that the attack triggering the mine cannot critically stike. This ability was not designed to damage people in an AoE like Gangplank's keg.It was meant to be a vision controller and/or a wave clearing tool (as an assassin, being able to roam and snipe people is essential to his playstyle).

The E's stunning for up to 3.5 seconds is very situational, as doing so will leave Preston with no damage left. Not to mention that in order to do so he has to be level 16 or above (to have max 5 Q charges).

The aim of creating Preston was to fulfil the "sniper" fantasy that I find both Caitlyn and Jhin somehow fail to do so. Therefore I put all of his power into that one basic attack/R. If he misses it then he will be useless for a long time until his gun is fully reloaded.
