Yes, It is unusual but this allows Netzach to be particularly flexible without being too flexible.

If I allowed E to go through walls without activating W, what people would then start to do is checkthrough walls with his vaulting ability. If they hit a person in the fog of war they vault backwards out of range of the enemy while damaging them. not that I don't want this to happen, I actually do but my friend pointed out to me that it would seem unfair if he was facing this guy. so I added it to the W active which allows Netzach to do the same thing but at the cost of two abilities and 80 mana + 50 mana for each vault after that and this also allowed him to do the same tactic to check bushes. This is also one of the reasons why it is called Diabolic Mobility because using this unlocks Pernicious Vault to be such a diabolic thing to use xD

yeah, I hope you saw the changes to his passive, I did make it scaling so you can shut him down in early game plus it is basically on par now with other Marksmen based on DPS. because I do agree if I did allow 200% to be a thing in early game he would be a monster but by late game, some marksmen have already passed 1.0 attackspeed while others reach 2.25 to 2.5 attack speed with 100% crit strike. this guy literally has 1.0 attack speed whether he likes it or not and needs to use 45 mana to reload a bullet into the chamber. yes, He can build crit items but the attackspeed in those items won't benefit him so it would be a waste of stats. So he would be building Infinity Edge, Essence Reaver + one attack speed crit item. if he does intend to go to a more crit based route to abuse the fact that he has a modified AD base on his AA.

But lets just say he does do this build the only item he doesn't waste stats on is the Infinity Edge.

Netzach has relatively short cooldowns on all his abilities so cooldown reduction from Essence Reaver won't give him that much of a benefit and yes, the mana does help but at level 18 this passive only gives him 26 mana on one attack compared to his 45 mana cost.

For the 3rd item, lets say it was either Rapid Fire Cannon, Phantom Dance or Statikk Shiv. The Attack Speed one all these items would be wasted on him so he would literally only be buying these items for the Passive, Crit, and MS.

so he literally wastes a lot of the stats he buys on these items to if he does go to a crit route. what he does make up for is the fact that he can burst you and kite you. but in extended fights against consistent damage he wouldn't be able to win.

also if you are offering to help with the Hypertexts it would gladly be appreciated :D
