Thank you for talking through this with me. I find myself questioning a lot of my designs now, and the result has been uncovering things I hadn't seen, or had forgotten.

I remember I had her Q as being ranged at 425, but then I later bumped it to 625 to match her AA range, but then I realized it allows her to open doors ahead of her, or to the side of an ally (her lane partner!) With her E, which I'm still going to modify, as a way of allowing her to get there and keeping her safe.

Do you really think her passive is undoable? I know it's messy right now, but I want to believe it has merit. Also, you said:

"As a side note, I'd avoid banking on the "chance" aspect of crit chance, because it's precisely what's causing the stat so many problems, so you're not setting yourself a good foundation for a mechanic, particularly since your implementation of it ultimately doesn't have all that much gameplay."

What did you mean? She can't crit unless she has 100% crit chance, which she can build up to using her passive (hiding and striking from out of sight), plus whatever crit chance she gets from items and her Treasures. Gameplay-wise, isn't it just an X-hit passive?

How do you feel about 's ? I really like the idea of auto-attacker style champions having their passive revolve around their basic attacks somehow - if a passive is representive of the core / essence of a champion, what's more fitting that how they use their primary weapon? (That one's kinda rhetorical.) Also, Gypsylord mentions the impact or *feel* of having the 'pop' or special thing happen after X-hits. You talk about Supports having better basic attacks, but these wouldn't *feel* powerful unless you were dealing tons of damage (like in the early game), right?

See, I wonder how much easier it be to 'sell' her kit, if you (or any viewer) could just see what I see. I mean, how far do things like a Champion Spotlight go in reducing percieved complexity?

P.S. So I wrote all of this, and in thinking about how to respond I started reading a bunch, and now I'm tired and a bit let down that I'm not nearly as smart as I want to be. Thank you again for the feedback. The struggle! x.x
