Since devs dont want to properly buff Blades ult, how about we change it entirely?

Discussion

Devs are so scared to add a slow, or widen his ultimate and it’s actually insane. So, at this point I’d rather the ultimage just be a full on kill confirm. That’s practically all it is right now anyway, so how about this. You know the first slash that Blade does for a thousand cuts, the one that goes right through them? I’m pretty sure the base damage of that is 100, pretty solid.

So instead, let’s just have that damage scale based on how long you hold the ultimate. (Cause theres nearly no reason to now) So, at the minimum it’d do 100 dmg and when it’s fully charged it’d do a maximum of 300dmg) Not only does this make Blade very deadly against supports and duelists who have usually 250-300hp, but his ultimate can finally be feared now.

People hear his ultimate and finally have to think “Oh maybe I should stun him, change my position, or use something that gives bonus health.” Not only would this add more skill expression, but it’d offer the ability to even counter ult. Punishers ultimate would lose, starlords ultimate would lose if he doesn’t dodge, Invis ult would lose if she doesn’t reposition. Plus, imagine the damage boost potential? And the cancel button for his ult would finally have a use I guess.

Now I don’t really expect this to happen, cause it IS still the line “A thousand cuts” and since the rework would be used more as a single sword strike, the after slashes wouldn’t really happen. Unless the devs would let it do both… but, this is probably never gonna happen, though it’s neat to think about.
