LMFAO No the lore isn't meant to be softcore porn, but gee if we were allowed to post such things on this wikia I sure would XD. The lore was more aimed at showing the playful side of her personality, and the relations she has with her most prominent frenemy: Tahm; flirtatious doesn't, by definition, to always mean to crave for another's genitalia0 you know. Viden's actual function as a character is given in her description, and as cryptic as it may be, I think it explains wholly who she is, with the hint of mystery adding to the whole package. I plan on adding another entry regarding her relations with Bard, but who knows that will come out.

I'm not sure about why you still have complaints about the Q when I've elaborated about it on my previous post; maybe you're confused or misinformed. But rest assured, the problems you've originally stated cannot be reproduced due to how the abilities work. And yes, the slow field does not strain enemy champions as it does not deal damage.

Having high base damages late game would enforce Viden to build tanky, and that I do not really want. 60% scaling late game may not be that entirely high, but it should be noted that her basic abilities are spammable cc-tied abilities which are meant to aid Viden in actually just triggering her innate. And as difficult as doing so may be, as you've said so yourself with the blink range (btw blink range has been increased to 500, please regard the changelog in the future), but I think the difficulty is offset entirely by the damage potential of the innate. And you can entirely believe me when I want to buff her blink range, but honestly that would just eliminate the majority of her handicaps. I can see that you prefer to have generally well-rounded type of a champion, maybe such as Jayce, but through Viden I wanted to project my fantasy of a champion with very definite strengths and weaknesses. Hence, I do not think any compensatory buffs are needed anymore after the 100 range increase on her blink, which I employed thanks to your previous feedback.

Also I personally believe that the most problematic thing with AD assassins is that whilst being able to burst anyone (except for a 6k health sion), they just instagib squishies whilst requiring just 2 seconds more on tanks. I do not wish of Viden to be an assassin who instagibs squishies, but rather someone who has equal potential of killing both squishies and tanks, so that the player may focus on how they would assassinate their target, rather than who, allowing for a much fluid, but unique champion niche.
