My idea on the Ash rework.

Why not change the 4 so it only deals finisher damage if the enemy is marked with a blade, which gets determined through certain weapons, abilites n stuff.

And to those who are crying about that. Why not change it that you can still spam your glory Slashhole 4th but you will not do finisher damage anymore.

So basically make it a Saryn 2.0

Your Shurikens can mark them. If you cast them they seek out preferably unmarked enemies. Like that you can spam in your 1 into a group and then go to your dirty Slashhole tricks with your 4.

Make an Augment or rebuild his 2 to make it like the Quiver or Vauban. You can pick between multiple functions.

1: Longer invisible 2: "Flashbang" which blinds enemies nearby 3: Shurikencloud. Marks enemies nearby 4: Stickybomb. Covers the ground in some adhesive so enemies are getting slowed down or immobile.

The 3 seems fine to me, tho it might be able to reduce the cost for the 2 in the first 3 seconds after the cast was successful.

You can also mark enemies with weapons who have blade like projectiles or so. Like the Boltor Prime, Despair, etc.

Your 4th will be able to get cast onto an enemy directly which handles like above said, only marked enemies will receive finisher damage and non marked just a slash damage.

Unmarked enemies can still get spammed with your 4 but you have to directly aim at them. With this those lovely Draco Ash spammers can still do what they want but after round 2 or so they actually have to prove what they can.

Marked enemies will not only get the ideal finisher damage which makes his 4th so damn "Unbalanced", but also you will be able to cast your 4th ability from everywhere and will seek every marked enemy, no matter where he is. So if he is on the other side on the map you have your kill secured, do not worry.

That seems like a fair deal towards his unbalanced kit right now.

At least in my eyes it would get rid of only those Bladestorm users, because they can't faceroll their keyboard anymore, but will actually reward those who are trying to actually play out all of his ability skillfully enough.
