If that was a joke, then I will say as I usually do: not funny.

With all Degritone has done, I had the expectation that he was trying to make some seriousness out of his champions such as Wdrei, but after some thoughts, I believe something else now (thoughts subject to change).

If this was a joke, yet he actually considers what could be done to better Wdrei, he should have noted right after words along the lines of "But seriously, Wdrei is supposed to live off the randomness, and this passive exemplifies that by being something that you would think you would only see in a custom game rulebook." Sadly, because he did not do this, I couldn't read the context (and as Clay mentioned, the internet makes people susceptible to that) and assumed he was beign serious of this claim, no matter how trolly the image itself was.

My changed thoughts surround the thought that, while he is trying to make a legitimate champion, Degritone's motivations are bit more self-centered than it should. I apologize if it seems like I'm pointing fingers and saying Degritone is being selfish, but the fact that he defends Wdrei mechanics wil subjective thoughts and stubborn reasoning doesn't make Degritone out as a champion creator who is trying to make a champion others will enjoy. Maybe he would and some others who like the baseline concept of his champions, but with how I've seen Wdrei being built, I do not believe he will be made any better outside of small number patches. And ifLEsdins words are to be right... well, shame on you for trying to bait the wrong critic (although I'm no diehard balancer, I do look for the finer things in custom champions).

Riot has avoided randomness for a good reason: because it causes too many unreadible situations with either dissatisfying results or unfair success. Critical strikes remain as their outcomes are overall clear (+20% crit usually yields 20% more damage, for example) and they only affect AA damage. With Wdrei, that is thrown out the window, along with creating a "baggage of knowledge" in knowing what possible outcomes could occur with abilities such as the innate or Medley.

If Degritone wants Wdrei to become a healthy and interesting champion, it is best if he takes a look at the abilities, remove all the extra text that bloats them and make them into more streamline abilities such as the E (it allows Wdrei a secure way of dealing crits without needing to build MR, which is crit chance for Wdrei).
