I'm not sure about Ali's passive. Maybe letting it stack with reduced base damage would be the best route to go with it so you don't waste damage potential when combo'ing.

Something like:


 * '''Damage reduced to 3 + (1 x level) from 6 + (1 x level) per second but can now stack up to three times. Each stack has its own duration.

It's a damage buff at 3 stacks but a nerf at 1 stack, it's a little bit of a buff at 2 stacks due to the per level bonus stacking.

Regarding Ali's ult giving AD, I don't know. It's hard to balance his kit when there's that giant AD steroid floating around but no ad ratios to use with it. It can either end up doing a lot of damage (7 seconds means around 5-6 potential auto attacks which is 450-540 damage before resists) so he has a good best case scenario considering it comes with his great damage reduction steroids and the CC removal but most of the time it just ends up being wasted.

It would have to be toned down or removed in order to add more power to Ali's kit.
