Tassadar by scallops

Plasma Shield will be re-worked to shield life based percentages rather than a flat, scaling number. The baseline damage leech will also be removed. The mana cost will be 75/500 in the new energy based system and shield duration and cooldown will remain the same at 4 and 8 seconds respectively. Energy cost is increased from approximately 10% of total pool to 15%.

This will reduce some of the enabling power out of the gate for low-life, dive, AA heroes like Tracer, but begin to enable some tankier heroes. Plasma Shield's power will become more talent dependent.

Psionic Storm will cost dramatically more, from 10% to 40% of total pool. Damage is significantly increased from 82 (increasing per wave) to a flat 250 (20% increased for non-heroes). The cooldown and duration will remain the same.

Psionic Storm is the most iconic area of effect skill in Blizzard's lore. Psionic Storm will now no longer feel like a tickle and instead like something that needs to be strategically played around, both on offense and defense. A well-timed, properly placed storm can single-handedly tip a team fight strongly in your team's favor, but if a team baits out a poor storm, Tassadar is left playing as a utility support at best. The high energy cost prohibits spamming Psionic Storms and will limit Tassadar to 2 per team fight in most instances. Psionic Storm will erase all but the tankiest of non-hero minions, which will be left very low on life, making him an ideal multi-laner, especially on smaller maps. Use of Psionic Storm will make Tassadar energy hungry - very much like high templar in Starcraft.

Force Wall will now be baseline instead of an ult. Dimensional Shift will be moved to a talent choice. Duration, cooldown, and energy cost will remain the same.

Tassadar has been basically unkillable for his stay in the Nexus. With Dimensional Shift being shifted to a talent choice, players will have to make the choice of survivability over other important talents. Force Wall being baseline should allow Tassadar some utility outside of Plasma Shield and Psionic Storm. Immediate availability adds some usefulness to Tassadar before his talents start ramping up his abilities.

Archon will closer resemble the lore of Archon. Tassadar will become a giant, area of effect, plasma shield, bruiser. Basic abilities can no longer be cast. Energy cost will become 50% of his maximum energy pool. The cooldown is reduced to 60 seconds and duration remains the same.

This change will increase Archon's survivability and enable Tassadar to really press forward into team fights. The trade off is his inability to use basic abilities, which brings it more into line with lore. Plasma Shield talents have the ability to make Archon even more of a threat.

This should the the obvious choice for an Archon build, but also potentially for dive enabling builds.

Hallucination makes its introduction as a powerful ultimate ability.

A hallucinated Tassadar on the battlefield may cause the enemy team to walk on eggshells with up to 5 Psionic Storms and 2 phantom Psionic Storms in a 20 second period or second guess their choice of targets with shield spam going down. This is a very powerful ultimate and the obvious choice for main healers or damage dealing Tassadar talent builds.
