My opinion on a new adjustment for Argus.

Make a Game Suggestion

Argus Rework Concept: From Fighter to Berserker/Assassin

Developer Note: I would like Argus to no longer be classified purely as a Fighter, as his skill kit does not fit this aspect well. Making him more viable without his Ultimate is possible, but it will require broader and longer testing periods than just 1 week (which is the current Advanced Server update cycle).

(~) Passive: Warmonger

Removed Effect: Malice Energy gauge has been completely removed.

New Effect - "Abyssal Wrath": Due to his deep hatred for the Abyss, Argus now gains a Wrath Gauge that increases whenever he lands a Basic Attack or takes damage (increases by 10 per hit, with a maximum cap of 200). For every 10 points of Wrath, Argus gains 1.5 Physical ATK and a 4% chance to trigger an enhanced attack (up to an 80% maximum chance).

Slash Damage: 85 + (50% Total Physical ATK) \rightarrow 150 + (100% Total Physical ATK)

HP Regen: 100 + (20% Physical ATK) \rightarrow 100 + (10% of Lost HP)

(^) Skill 1: Demonic Grip

Cooldown (CD): 12 seconds.

New Mechanic - "Adaptive Tether": Argus launches his demonic hand in the designated direction.

If the claw hits an enemy at a distance of 5 yards or more, Argus is pulled toward the enemy, inflicting a 0.8-second stun.

If the claw hits an enemy at a distance of 1.8 yards or less, the enemy is pulled directly toward Argus instead.

Second Use (Recast): Dash distance increased from 1.4 to 2.5 yards.

Removed Effect: The slow effect from this skill has been removed.

(Note: Since I don't know the exact yard metrics used in-game, these values are my own estimates to better represent the skill's mechanical concept).

(~) Skill 2: Meteoric Sword

Cooldown (CD): 6 seconds.

Argus thrusts his sword forward, dealing 80 + (120% Total Physical ATK) Physical Damage and inflicting an 80% slow effect for 3 seconds.

Removed Effect: Instantly gaining 100 Malice Energy has been removed.

New Effect - "Furious Rush": Upon hitting an enemy, Argus enters a brief state of frenzy, gaining 100% Movement Speed which decays over 4 seconds.

(~) Ultimate: Eternal Evil

Cooldown (CD): 58s - 39s

Removed Effect: Activating the Ultimate no longer deals 150 + (50% Physical ATK) damage to nearby enemies.

Removed Effect: Argus's passive no longer ignores Turret Defense.

New Effect - "Abyssal Sundering": Argus permanently ignores 45% of the enemy's Physical Defense while active.

New Effect - "Retribution Shockwave": Argus now stores all damage received during this state directly into his HP bar. Upon ending, he unleashes this stored energy in a shockwave, stunning nearby enemies within 1.2 yards for 1 to 2 seconds (scaling based on the amount of HP lost before activating the Ultimate) and applying a 30% slow for 2 seconds.

New Effect - "Vampiric Siphon": Argus heals himself based on the total damage he inflicts for the duration of his Ultimate.

New Effect - "Strategic Immortality": Argus's death immunity lasts for 3 seconds when triggered automatically upon taking fatal damage. However, if activated manually, the duration is extended to 5 seconds. If you receive fatal damage and are forced to stay alive in this immortal state, he cannot heal from his Ultimate's life-steal/vampirism during this extended duration.

Could you please give me your feedback on my balancing idea?
