Not constant really. He has to start with a spell to gain that small damage reduction. But as he commits to the fight he starts dealing more damage. Of coure once he gains full stacks his Q will deal 30% increased damage which would be a lot if Q would even deal significant damage. Maybe this passive is kinda OP but I wanted to leave the player a chance to decide how to use Electrocution; start with R and then have a lot of DPS through Q or save R after built up some stacks for more damage. I did change some stuff, like lowering the damage on R, removed splash and removed stun because the way I saw this champ wasn't OP. I didn't want him to be like Katarina, with no CC and still viable and helpfull in small fights and teamfights or when saving someone so I left the supress. Thanks to comments below I made it so he has to build some significant amount of damage to be effective and not again some Volibear or Darius champ that just has to build tanky and still deal tons of damage.
