What would players think of a 7-star Night Thrasher

I was thinking of Enchantress counters, and realized that Night Thrasher has a debilitate on SP3 (obviously getting to three bars to access it would not make him an effective counter). This made me examine his overall kit.

Easy access to Evade/Autoblock counter. Access to a chunky Disorient. Can choose to go for Shock or Incinerate (doesn't seem common for champions to be resistant to both). Can theoretically maintain these debuffs indefinitely via knockdowns if that utility is needed. Incinerate immunity. Dupe grants chances at taunt, fury, and debuff shrug. Lots of interesting synergies (especially if buffed Cyclops keeps the synergy).

How do you think players would think about him? I know he would be too slow for BGs, but setting that aside how would people rank him as a Skill 7-star?

He would be fine but I think he would benefit from a buff first

Utility: 👍
Damage: 👎

Needs more damage and he would be a fantastic attacker and 7* worthy 100%.

I wonder if they would buff him to stack debuffs, as that could drastically improve his damage in longer fights. Might have to tune down the damage amount per debuff, but being able to have, let's say 5 Shocks and 5 incinerates doing DoT while you focus on knockdowns could be. Although, that might make him a little to close to Okoye's playkit.

Sadly (because I like the character) I'd think "Oh well, there's another 7* Skill champion I'll never rank up..."

He's got a fun kit, but everything needs tuned up, if he's going to be useable.

The DOT damage is actually quite low so 5 of them won’t do that much

Happily take him if he came awakened.
