Comment:
Just a couple of changes that I think would make Alex more powerful. Most of her power budget is allocated to her rather powerful trait which makes her elven form slightly underwhelming. Allowing her to have a baseline CDR on her trait would reward aggressive and proactive plays with Alex, allowing her to use her trait more liberally if she’s confident she can get it back up again.

Some buffs to W build Alex to make it more viable plus some extra spice to make her a bit more flashy. Also some buffs to underwhelming talents that can be improved.
