Venomancer

Deals damage over time with venomous attacks

Ranged

Kite enemies endlessly with Venomancer, an annoying lane dominator who pushes safely by placing an endless army of toxin-spitting watchers. In teamfights, he sacrifices himself to apply a massive, un-dispellable cloud of lingering poison that cripples the enemy's health regeneration.
