For the passive, I know nobody uses Ohmwrecker, but having someone to abuse it, would make everyone cry and end up in either nerfing the item so it will become unviable to others completly, or in nerfing Tabu thus nerfing the point of passive. About Zhoniya, people already cry about its duration so far I have seen, that it would make them cry more and again ending up in nerfing one of them.

for the doll, i had in mind that it would be a ward for support-laning phase that would be usefull (it's like vision ward with alot more health, but no ressisst or armor, so it would take full damage). For teamfight or beeing somewhere else, it is about 2 things, either how stupid your enemy is, or how smart you are, you and your team cannot attack it, that would be abuse, you curse one enemy and then kill him with your team attacking doll in bush like hell. but if you put it in jungle and make jungle creeps attack it, or even lane minions, it would be harmfull. But I get your point to a bit and 400 HP and later posibility as magick damage (400mdg on lvl 7 with E on lvl 2 would be too much if played right) seems to high for a ward.

I am surpriced you didn't object againts W, so far ppl I asked complained about it beeing the OP spell.

I forgot to state there, the slow on enemy is low (like 10%) and the point of that long duration is that ministun there, but having a hero that can deal damage to someone only indirectly (and with not really reliable source) would be quite bad idea.

For the ultimate, yes zed has one like that for himself and it him strong, but he personaly can deal hight amount of damage in a burst even without it and him using ulty even gives him 2nd shadow to deal even more. Them vlad has this AoE so he can just jump in using R>E>W>E>Zhoniya and people just go and die. This is exactly for the purpose you stated, either stay away from team fight and watch how you loose, or come and die, watching the same without colors (but since that count as curse, placing doll in middle of teamfight would kill him anyway, so yes, I need to nerf the doll). He is to manipulate enemies, into doing what he wants them to do, even when indirectly. Also I thing I wrote the R decription wrong, as you seems to thing, that it would kill anyone under that life percentage. The damage calculation is for example, enemy has 1000 HP, and your attack deal 100 (after armor comes into play), you deal 112 dmg per attack and land 5 hits, you deal 560 dmg instead of 500. now it you recast this ability, you would deal bonus 40% of this 560 as true damage, ending the curse. thus dealing bonus 224 true damage

I wanted him to give enemies choice to either left him with vision or hurt an ally, fight weakened, or run as a coward, face your own minions or be stuned and stay away. To die as a hero of fight, or watch your allies die and then fear of yourself. Because what ever you would do, you would always harm your own team. Making enemies stresed about what to do making them to rething their decision when there is no time to do so.

I also appreciate your idea for different ult, but taking control of enemy champion is something ppl are asking for a long time and riot still refuses to give such option. Lore wise, champion, dragon, baron and wilemaw are too strong for even tabut to control their movement, but he can at least mini stun the heroes.

If you have any other ideas how to make this champion more viable, just leave comment, I would like to see more errors I made.
