Clip is kinda unrelated, faced a decent Anivia, nimbus cloak suprised her and I solo won my lane.

I like Zaahen as is, Riot has not forgotten him imo, they heard about the Q timer issue when reviving and Qol buffed it, and next patch has a Q bug fix, I legit saw Shihan showcasing the bug last week, he also got a W buff recently as well.

I like these changes, I see a couple posts about rework ideas. Personally I hope he doesn't get any major changes.

Some buffs I would like to see; Riot lists Zaahen as a "Skirmisher", Zaahen is good at teamfighting certain comps but lacks the dueling strength actual Skirmishers have; Fiora, Jax, Gwen etc.

I'm not suggesting all of these buffs at the same time etc, just by the 0,01 % chance a Rioter actually sees this. If only a little is used to buff him so he doesn't have to be nerfed right after that would be great.

1; Make E dash scale with movespeed, using E feels like a loss in distance at times when you try to aim for the sweetspot.

2; Make E give 2 stacks If it lands on sweetspot, this can only trigger once per casts ( so you don't instantly get passive from just 1 good E ) this is a 1v1 buff proposal. Alternatively have max stacks be reached at 10, so Zaahen actually gets it more in 1v1's.

3; Address some of his clunkyness. Make R start 0.25 sec faster and crash down 0.25 sec faster. So still room to outplay enemies with his CC immune start up. Alternatively just revert to pre full CC immune Ult nerf he got a while ago.

Make W 0.25 sec faster or have the cast time scale with attack speed, Zaahen can get a decent amount of AS from Precision tree if he goes Conq, and Trinity force/Stridebreaker.

What do you think?
