Moderate Champion Buff Proposal Spotlight: Mephisto

L_217

The Lord of Hell (well, one of them) is back and hotter than ever. The proposed buff puts the most important synergies into his Base Kit and expands on the values for his kit. The playstyle doesn't really change much for what it was, but is more rewarding and sustainable without sacrificing team composition. Any new changes or value buffs are italicized.
