Tier 1/2 Counter to Flyers

[worm on a string]

Flyers can feel very oppressive in lane when your only options feel like Knockdown or to play hide and seek. What about a T 1/2 item that either slowly drags an airborne player down the longer they're in the air, or reduces their airborne agility (movement/dash speed) by like 10%? Call it "Lead Boots", give like +5% Ability Range and have it build into Knockdown potentially.

My attempt at making the item in Deadlock Graphic Designer (huge shout to user Fred_ for the great tool!)

what if it was a version of knockdown which still knocked down but the timer before is longer and it didn't stun them when they land. so it stops flying without punishing them

i think this could be a great solution too, like a 4/5s wind up compared to Knockdown's 2s one. keep on slorkin it

they also just need to nerf vindicta and mine tho to be fair. they both have top lane winrates and with the nee changes ane bullies are even worse
