Old passive made no sense on her. It was a stat-steal on death. Thought it would be somewhat interesting for the mid-game, forgot that in teamfights you could quickly get two champions worth of AD and AP through a double kill.

What I want is a low-hp revive assuming your killer dies. If it's a fight where your team hasn't died yet and the enemy ADC is within range of you, you're probably doing something wrong. The idea is that she has zero mobility and compensates for that by making it so that if she's focused by an assassin or a vi or whoever, her team has a window to kill them and get out. Maybe the shield could decay, or just not be there at all? Stun to a flat 1.5 seconds?

The thing about E is that it's fairly low damage (190 at max rank). The AP ratio is actually wrong (meant to put 40, hadn't noticed that it was 60). Still thinking about base stats, but I'm considering something like lux. The ability itself is comparable to lux's E in that it's long range and AOE. It could certainly be made a skillshot (think jinx W in terms of speed) which was my original intent, but it would require a really, REALLY strange targeting indicator so that you have an idea of where it's going to bounce, or it would be pretty much unuseable. I'm not sure the game supports dynamic targeting indicators like that. It could also be a line of projectiles that fires for one second, which is different from a beam in that they have a travel time, and so at max range it would be nearly impossible to hit.

I came up with the ult by trying to think of something that was imbalanced as hell on paper. As I said in the notes, the reason there's a delay on stone creation is so that someone can't just set up a ton of stones and kill someone instantly. Thinking about it now, I should probably also add like a .5 sec cooldown to the Q, because something like a morgana snare combined with 600 ap could easilly allow her to pull off the 500k damage I described.
