I'm just waiting for Riot to produce some originality with their kit design at this point... Every champion seems to be, Q - fire this aoe projectile, W - some steroid or another AOE projectie, E - some type of dash/ignore wall ability, R - Another larger AOE projectile with more range... Of course on top of some stacking passive that deals max % health and true damage and execute... It's all the same... I mean, i realize it's hard to be original after releasing over 160 champions... But by the look of Smolder's kit, it's basically Q = fireball (that evolves some special effects), W = another slightly bigger fireball, R = the biggest fireball... Idk, the designs seems really lazy... Interesting designs to me are something like Jhin... you have 4 shots, reload cooldown, 4th shot guaranteed crit, you can use W to root off teammates abilities, you can set traps with E to root yourself or protect from flanks, your ult is like something unique

Should be an easy balance guys and is most definitely not going to be played in other lanes! 1. Stacking Passive 2. Passive evolves Q 3. Q is a fast moving projectile 4. Q deals AOE damage 5. Q gains lissandra Q effect 6. Q gains max health% true damage execute 7. W fast to slow moving projectile. Goes through enemies with a nunu W hitbox. Hitting enemies causes an explosion 8. E = Aurelion Sol E with Akshan E and movement speed.... Can go over terrain and you can change directions etc........... 8. Pantheon Ult 2.0, but can crit and heals Smolder when he gets hit by it...
