Gameplay:

Daeron is supposed to be a mobile, ranged jungler. He can do quite a bit of damage and can catch quite a few champions, his strongest drawback however is his lack of cc. this balances out the fact that he has excellent escape and does not require much in the way of movement items. also, his passives combine to make him synergise well with players who are super dangerous in the brush (ie rengar, teemo, nunu, garen, braum, kha'zix, etc.) and his range means that securing kills during ganks is much easier. He does not build very tanky, and is more of an assassin than a fighter. his cooldowns allow him to combo very effectively but can be very unforgiving if you dont land your skill shots or find yourself in a bad position.

Backstory:

Daeron was a young man growing up on the border between Noxus and Demacia. His family lived in a small woodland village, where the people largely hunted game and worked the land to survive. During his youth Daeron was a renowned hunter, who traveled among several of the forest communities providing aid where it was needed. He grew to be well respected, both for his accomplishments and his wisdom. Counsel, food, necessities, justice, all were dispensed fairly and where they were most welcome. Unfortunately for Daeron, this way of life would not last. The war between Noxus and Demacia was ravaging the countryside, and although Daeron and the villagers fought bravely many were slain and the remaining survivors had no choice but to flee into the woods. For many years they had to subsist on only what they could hunt and find, and that changed the young man. He made himself responsible for caring for the villagers and teaching them how to survive in the darkest parts of the woods. With no shortage of quarrels, incidents, raids, battles, and struggles, Daeron has led much of his life in the shadow of the forest and the constant readiness that entails. Always ready with his tall bow and long sword, he confronts darkness and evil in an attempt to secure safety and peace for his people. Now, stepping out from the depths of the forest, Daeron has joined the League to be a champion for the weak and the oppressed. His arrows fly true, and his sword cuts deep. The Woodswalker has come.

Splash Art:

I was thinking Daeron would be a hooded figure in a dark brown shoulder cape and leather jerkin. His sword is long and plain, with a brown leather grip and a small blue gem in the centre of the crossguard. His bow would be a dark mahogany and would have two bundles of white and black barred feathers as string silencers(cosmetic only, no real in game effect). His arrows would be fletched with two black feathers and one white and black barred feather. His face would have a mask covering the bottom half and he would have a large scar running down his face over the right eye. For his splash art he would be resting crosslegged on the forest floor with his bow on his lap, his hood over his head, his sword and arrows coming out over his back, smoking an old fashioned long stem wooden pipe, with a whisp of smoke floating up in front of his face. his eyes would be grey and very intense. He would be wearing a full sleeved jerkin and no gauntlets.

Skin Idea:

WOAD. WOAD. WOAD. But aside from a woad skin, I'd like to see a "Last Stand Daeron" where he looks like a refugee with mismatched and torn equipment, kind of like the rugged Garen but more feral. Like he is on the run from soldiers, hiding out and engaging in a guerilla style warfare.

Voice: Upon Champ Select: "You cannot run, You cannot hide."

Taunt: "Now if only YOU could see ME!"

The Splash Art reminds me a little of the guy from Theif(which he's cool anyways lol).I wonder,what does he sound like?I would assume he doesn't sound like a yordle or a kid lol Also I would think these would be cool for him in game; Moving:1."I go for my people"2."I'll track them down"3."I'll go....but not for you summoner.." Attacking:1."may my arrows find their mark!"2."For my people!"3."May the Woods take you!" Joke:1."They say you should never touch another mans Woodschuckles(sorry only one I got right now lol) Taunt:2."Don't be alarmed but I am here to kill you"3."When I am done with you,you'll see who's really weak!" Taunt towards Noxus:"There is strength in weakness too"
Taunt towards Demacia:"If you protect the weak,you should try harder" Anyways enough of my rumbling,cool character dude and I hope I helped a little! :3

I like the concept of a ranged jungler. I've been dying for one in the actual game. At first I was like.........55 extra range (630 total range), but at 2stacks/10cs it puts it at +250cs total to achieve that. Lower levels they wont achieve full range but higher levels it would be a problem. I'd lower the base range to 550 or 525.

Q - imo, should have it's own base range (not %50 of the base). It would basically be used for the AA steroid. The sweep would only be used in early jungle stages. If it was a knock back it would be a little better. Knock back (minor damge with an AA buff).

R - Um it's just utter useless unless in the jungle. If anything he should summon two beside him than an extra in each bush around him. Max 2 extra.

Interesting concept, it has a lot of potential but doesn't quite work. An ambushing ranger that gains a strong point from the bushes is cool. I think with more work and better explanations about the abilities, this champion could become really amazing.
