title. Illidan is weak to enemy 5-man stacks, which is fine, but it's to such a degree that Meta is basically a necessary component of his kit for escapes if the enemy team does that (which they're supposed to at nearly every obj), and there's something fundamentally wrong with such a cool & iconic ult with such a good voice line ("NOW I AM COMPLETE!") being relegated to "bolt of the storm to escape with". So my idea is; make it not an ult, make it an activatable on his trait with a quest that gives him power slowly over the course of the game but much faster and much more consistently if used on an enemy 5-man stack. His fundamental gameplay style & idiosyncrasies will stay the same, it'll just make him slightly less useless in certain circumstances and gives him a get away for free card once a fight.

The detes;

Remove his Metamorphosis ult, give his trait a baseline quest called Metamorphosis and an activateable with a 45 second cooldown that teleports him, damaging nearby enemies. If it damages an enemy hero, add up to 1 stack to his quest and increase his health by 200 and increase the CD time of the trait by 15 seconds for each enemy hit. Upon reaching ten stacks (7 minutes into the game if he uses it off cooldown without dying) or hitting 5 heroes with a single cast, he enters Demon Form doing the "NOW I AM COMPLETE!" voiceline, increasing Attack Speed by 20% and reduces the duration of Stuns, Roots and Slows by 50%. Dying loses his health bonus & resets quest progress.

And, since that frees up an ult slot, and since Tassadar is getting a rework and the Archon ult doesn't mesh with Tass's extant AA build — and since Illidan is nothing but AA… Give Illidan the Archon ult.

Bear with me here; Illidan already has an ability that instantly gives him a health boost, so we can ditch that. That leaves the part of Archon where it gives you a free use of one ability and refreshes another — Illidan already gets that from his passive trait, we can ditch that. What's that leave us? Oh yeah, ranged splashing AA.

Hey, can anyone think of a ranged attack that might be iconic for Illidan?

It shouldn't be a timed transformation like Archon is because he already has a transformation with Demon Form, which would be awkward for the player to overlap even if Demon Form no longer has a timer, and IMO it should stay a basic attack so it meshes with his trait & demon form. So my idea is for it to be; Activate to make the next basic attack ranged, do bonus spell damage and splash. Has 4 charges, regens all charges at the same time.

It's simple, doesn't seem like much, but A) it lets him get off four attacks on an enemy without needing to get close to them, circumstantially negating his prime weakness, B) if he hits the enemy team with it during a teamfight it multiplies the affect of his trait giving up to 5 seconds removed from his basic abilities each for every beam
