Well there is certainly some truth to saying that tarnished health functions in a reverse way that Tahm Kench's E does, but I don't think calling it redundant was the right word (maybe unnecessary is what you meant). Tarnished health, at least in my opinion, makes for a unique playstyle for Darssan where he needs to mediate how he will kill people by using his basic attacks and abilities, whereas other champions would more be like, "Will my cc let me land my damage, and would that kill the enemy?"

As for the abilities, the Q and W are surely meant to be simple, with the E standing as an ability which interacts with Darssan's resource, as you've stated. I don't think you're really missing anything major needed to appreciate Darssan, it's just that maybe he doesn't appeal to you as a champion, which is fine to me in all regards.

Also thank you for the praise on the formatting. I was initially worried that the wordiness would actually detract people, so it's good to know at least some people are liking it.
