Explanation of Marauder's Manslaughterer stacking
Say you get 2 kills in 5 seconds. This gives you a 5% speed boost until you die. If you got 3 kills, it would be a 7% boost.
If you then survive another 10 seconds, then get another 2 kills in 5 seconds, this counts as if you had got 3 kills in the first 5 seconds, and so on.


So, that's this series done. Please feel free to comment with criticism, praise, and balancing changes! I aim to seriously try to find a builder for this at some point, so do try to be constructive :)
