LORE

Once a God, Houyi has lost everything: His immortality, his elixir, and his wife.

Houyi was once the God of Archery, unrivaled with a bow; no man could match his skills, and he showed his abilities when the Sun-Birds, sons of the God of the Eastern Heaven, Dijun, decided to break their routine of circling the world and all rise at the same time. Houyi, at the request of Dijun, was sent to frighten the Sun-Birds into returning to their normal routine. However, upon seeing the scorching of the land caused by the Sun-Birds, he shot them down one by one, only stopping after the ninth by the will of Emperor Yao, as killing the last would leave the world in total darkness.

While revered as a hero to the people, Houyi had displeased Dijun for killing nine of his sons, and so Dijun punished him by banishing Houyi from the Heavens and removing his immortality. He would live in the mortal world he so angrily chose to save.

Fearful of death, Houyi set out to the Kunlun mountain, where the Queen Mother of the West, Xi Wang Mu, resided and held the Elixirs of Immortality. In exchange for the Elixirs, which would give to Houyi and his wife a ascension to the Heavens, Xi Wang Mu requested that a summer palace be built, which over many labor-filled months was completed.

Due to the summonings of Emperor Yao, Houyi left the Elixirs at home in secret. It was there that they were found by Chang'e, who in not knowing what they were drank them both and ascended to the moon. Houyi was forced to watch as his wife helplessly departed from his grasp, never to be in the caress of his arms again.

Enraged, dismayed, and with bow in hand, Houyi now seeks to challenge the Heavens, in the hopes that his valor and heroism from days past will one day catch up to him, and he will have his wife once more.

So right now, his 2 doesn't scale, it just costs more, so I would lower the movement speed buff to 20% and make the attack speed buff scale up to 30%. Or just lower the attack speed buff to 30% and make the cool down lower. On the ultimate I would lower the base damage by 100 at rank 5. So that it reaches 400 it max rank. Ad on his 1, it her lower the scaling or the power contribution ratio. But the ideas are good!
