Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been playing around with vision Aarkus and checking out good uses for him, and a question rose up: why does he only deal bonus damage on armor shattered opponents once with his specials?
I’ve researched him a little, and people mostly come to a consensus that he is a very decent champ (and I fully agree), but lacks firepower in shorter fights.
So, putting 2+2 together, why not give him an ability to deal that bonus damage multiple times across his special attacks?
Will it affect his abilities as a defender? Absolutely not. Will it give him an unfair advantage in certain match-ups? Nope. Will it give him new uses? Guess yourself. The power creep is real, and a moderate potency increase will not shift his place in the meta significantly, but will make using him much more enjoyable and make him a more attractive choice.
The damage should of course be decreased, but an overall bump of 30-40% percent to that bonus damage would be great a great start.
I’d say he also arguably should have cold damage resistance like Sasquatch, but that’s a whole other topic. And those resistances would generally be a great approach towards champs that should logically have immunity, but they don’t, and wouldn’t break mechanics of other champs who rely on debuffs.
