Balancing Discussion: The Real Deal

I would lower the damage reduction on judgement tedders. Or throw out the whole stun

I don't think Spirit Flail should get an unrestricted slow. At least now Osiris has to hit with his 1 first. Otherwise, you'll have an unavoidable 30% slow. At range.

The cooldown increase on Sickle Strike could work, but that makes him less bruiser-y and more assassin-y.

As for Judgement Tether, I'm fine with any kind of nerf it gets.

Well, that still doesn't solve the problem of him being indestructible. I also don't think it's a matter of range, but the DR.

Why not both? I'm fine with that, because **** Osiris.

Hmm...maybe make the damage reduction its own reward, then, instead of making him a giant AoE stun bot. That could work.

Like, this: Osiris flings out mummy wraps

Judgement Tether: Osiris flings out mummy wraps, tethering himself to all nearby enemies. Targets hit deal reduced damage to Osiris over the next 5 seconds. The tether can be broken by targets moving far enough away from Osiris. When Osiris hits a tethered target with an ability, the bindings are refreshed for another 1 second.

Damage reduction: 15/20/25/30/35% (+5% per second, maximum 40% damage reduction)
Cooldown: 18 seconds.

There. Now, this rewards him for staying in combat without adding on tons of CC.

Alternatively:

Judgement Tether: Osiris flings out mummy wraps, tethering himself to all nearby enemies. Targets hit deal reduced damage to Osiris over the next 4 seconds. The tether can be broken by targets moving far enough away from Osiris. Targets still in range when the duration expires are rooted.

Damage reduction: 15/20/25/30/35% (+5% per second, maximum 40% damage reduction)
Root Duration: 1.5 seconds.

At least this way, you can fight back, which does reduce his dueling and disruption potential.

My own suggestions:

Remove his swing chain BS. Keep the AoE, maybe.

Spirit Flail no longer has a speed buff, slows sickled enemies to 25/30/35/40/45% for 3 seconds. It's still an upgrade to the 20% slow from Sickle Strike, but not in the insane 60% slow category.

Judgement Tether has a capped damage reduction of 40%, and the damage reduction only applies to attacks toward Osiris. The stun is reduced to 1 second OR roots for 1.5 seconds, removing the stun OR the DR duration is increased when he strikes an affected enemy with an ability, removing the stun.

With these changes, he'll be more reliant on skillshots, have less dueling and teamfight potential, and is rewarded more for staying in combat instead of pure burst damage. It's also a nerf.

Oh I know, but I couldn't think of anything else that no one else has suggested yet, and for the most part you all seem to have the big issues covered.

and

seem like good and balanced changes, along with a 3 second increase with cooldown on Sickle Strike.

Ahh okay. That makes a lot more sense to me. I read it as you were playing osiris and not that osiris was the opposition

Almost forgot.

Apollo summary Problems His passive, Audacity, gives him more DPS than he needs. Needs a nerf. So Beautiful is a bit boring. Serenade is too powerful and makes him too safe, as well as insanely snowbally considering how it gains duration, loses cooldown, and gains protections with level. Could use a nerf. Across The Sky could use a slight nerf, as well. It's simply too good at the many, many things it does. Suggestions Mez scales from 1-2 seconds, cooldown is a flat 18 seconds. Protections steroid removed. Now grants 25/30/35/40/45/50% attack speed, scaling with the levels he'd rank up his ultimate. Apollo gains stacks equal to the number of enemies hit by his skills, doubled for gods. Maybe have him gain full stacks after killing a god. Or just reduce it to 75%. CD raised to 110 seconds at all ranks.
