As the title suggests, this idea introduces a subtle yet impactful change: Vyper's first ability would cause the enemy to not only lose 1 stamina but Vyper would now immediately regain 1 stamina bar upon hit. This modification aims to address the current lack of synergy this ability has within her kit, without outright changing the ability itself.
Given stamina's crucial role in Vyper's gameplay, the ability to regenerate stamina during engagements—especially drawn out fights that cause her to rapidly deplete stamina due to prevalent crowd control effects—would significantly enhance her overall survivability & longevity in those fights. However, the upgrade is balanced by the fact that you need to hit your skill shots with the knife; so regaining stamina is not as guaranteed in mid to long range engagements.
Currently, Vyper is a niche character with minimal presence in professional play. While this change is unlikely to drastically alter her meta position, it offers a meaningful buff beyond a simple damage increase.
Personally, I believe this effect would be most impactful at Tier 2, replacing the existing damage buff, which feels underwhelming. However, I acknowledge potential bias and understand the argument for placing it at Tier 3. There is also the argument to be made in moving the T3 upgrade to T2, and having this proposed enhancement take the T3 slot.
In any case, I appreciate your time for reading this, and have a good one.
