 * His innate is like going to College, there are alot of courses to take, but you should only stick to one if you want to graduate.

If that's how you thought of Thrender... I have to say that you might be taking Thrender the wrong way. I'm sure you are well aware, but for other champions, they've already "gone to college" and are delegated into the roles they have based on their expertise. But if you have someone such as Thrender whose focus is less grounded, I believe it's harder to create a concrete identity for him. From what I can see, he's a jack-of-all-trades mage who could attempt to focus on one profession, but in the end, that muddles why I would pick him over other mages who are better at that given role.

Then there comes the switching, which is your solution to making him unique from other mages with standalone roles. But I believe this doesn't help Thrender feels special since the capability to switch between modes gives some leeway, but also dearly punishes players who were in dire need of one element with that inhibiting cooldown.

The method I had thought of gives windows of time for Thrender to touch into one element. It may hop into "I need this stat at this time," but that's technically what Thrender is achieving in the end, if you did not notice. In actuality, that was what was occurring in his original iteration before the one you have right now.

There's much more I could elaborate on, but that's for another time. Just be reminded that asking some people for help would do Thrender well since he's off the front page.
