Uncommon

Skinwalkers

Windtalker earns a 2.0/5.0 rating because his utility is strictly limited to single-target support with very low proc chances. While a 60% Increase DEF buff is powerful in isolation, the fact that it only affects one ally—combined with a lackluster 15% chance on his A1 debuff—renders him ineffective in mid-to-late game content. He is significantly outclassed by almost every Rare support champion and even several fellow Uncommons like Armiger or Shieldguard who offer specialized utility. His low AI rating further hampers his performance, as he cannot be trusted to manage his cooldowns effective
