The slow scaling in Barbed tower is increasing very much per rank, I find the slow too high at the late ranks and to low in the early rank. I think the change you did on W was a bit off. It might already be a kog'maw ult, but since it's already more delayed, has lower range, much longer cooldown and will not do full damage unless it's in the center of the blast, the random factor makes it overnerfed (even though it cost no mana).

But as a concept it's really interesting and I really love the lore.
