Doctor Strange Buff Idea (In detail)

So awhile ago, Seatin asked in a video for ideas about buffs/new champs and whatnot. I already had been writing down ideas i had for a couple years now. I didn't want to post any of my ideas here until I had at least beaten the 6.2 Champion. I did that a month or so ago, and I wanted to revise my older ideas to match my experience in the game. I've been playing since just before the 12.0 patch, game veterans will know exactly what I mean. With that in mind, I'd like to submit my personal ideas for buffs and new ideas even. I have values put in with the best of my knowledge, obviously subject to change. In honor of the age of my account, and to honor my very first 3*, I'm starting with Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange
Class: Mystic

Signature Ability: Counterspell
When Doctor Strange enters a new Blessing, all buffs currently active on the opponent are nullified. For every buff nullified this way, Doctor Strange deals up to 80% (sig 200, 65% for sig 99) of his attack (modified) as direct damage to the opponent.
Additionally, if Doctor Strange has his signature ability at max level, all his blessings gain +25% potency.

Blessings:
Doctor Steven Strange invokes three Vishani Blessings to aid him in battle, each lasting 9 seconds. All three blessings appear as passives.
Oshtur’s Refuge grants increased armor and block proficiency by 50%.
Agamotto’s Insight grant increased attack and critical rating by 50%
Hoggoth’s Wisdom grants 15% power steal and lifesteal on all attacks.

Critical Hits: Doctor Strange uses the Eye of Agamotto on the opponent. He has a 50% chance to pause and refresh all buffs on the opponent. Once this ability has activated 10 times in a fight, reduce the potency of all buffs activated by the opponent by 95%, the duration of these buffs remains the same.

Passive:
Doctor Strange gains no power from attacking, blocking or being struck, but instead generates one bar of power every 9 seconds.
Doctor Strange begins the fight with 10% of a bar of power per level you have in the Mystic Dispersion mastery.

Special 1: This attack deals up to 150% additional damage and up to 150% power recovery at random.

Special 2: Changes abilities based on the current active blessing.
Oshtur’s Refuge: Green Flames apply a 25% Petrify and a 20% Weakness per hit. These debuffs last for 18 seconds, and cannot be shrugged off by Tenacity.
Agamotto’s Insight: Red Flames apply an Incinerate worth 100% of Doctor Strange’s attack, and an 20% Armor Break per hit. These debuffs last for 9 seconds.
Hoggoth’s Wisdom: Purple Flames grant 60% lifesteal per hit. Opponents receive no power from these hits, and all Power Gain effects receive -100% potency for the duration of this attack.

Special 3: 100% to apply a Bound debuff on the opponent for 3-9 seconds randomly. Bound opponents are stunned passively and can gain no power for the duration of this debuff. This attack also refreshes Doctor Strange’s current blessing, and pauses it until his next special attack.
The special 3 animation needs to be updated to really show Strange’s power and versatility. He unleashes his arsenal of spells, throwing the opponent around before calling upon the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak to bind them.

Strange is a very powerful man, and his abilities need to portray that. I remember this champ pre-12.0, he is deeply missed. I wish they would’ve given him his old values or something, instead of giving him portions of his old power through synergies. Speaking of which, I don’t have the attention span to go through all his synergies with other champs to see what could be improved/changed/added. Regardless, I hope you like this buff/rework idea. To any Kabam employees that see this, I'd be really stoked for any feedback. Even if 0% of my ideas are taken into consideration, I would love to get some insight into how a champion gets cleared. If you wish to contact me, to E-mail for my account login is my go-to. Have a wonderful day wherever you are!

    Just revert him to pre 12.0 is fine imo.
