For a short time, allies can right-click any lingering spirits that Ignatuus has left and then left click on another or on Ignatuus and teleport to that target. In addition, all lingering spirits are revealed to all players, temporarily become invulnerable and grant a bonus to nearby allies' armor and magic resistance.

Lore:
All across Runeterra, the effects of war have been felt, even as far as across the face of the land itself. The constant struggle and fighting has left its mark in the most unfortunate of places. And magic calls out to magic. Thus from these marks left in the world was born Ignatuus. An elemental force of nature, Ignatuus is the was formed from the lingering spirits that cry out. Ignatuus is the amalgamation of these dashed hopes, lingering desires, dreams that will never be fulfilled. The will of the fallen has become Ignatuus' calling. And he comes for all.

Seems OP atm, but I really like the concept of the champ. He just seems a little chaotic and I also his W is really weird. What if Miss Fortune is using her Ult and he activates his W on her ?

W is intended to be kind of like Zhonya's or like Lissandra's ult on self-cast. The downside is that it's possible to troll your teammate by stopping them in their tracks or as you mentioned, a channeling spell, but I wanted to have some hard CC on him that doubled as some kind of escape. Originally I had the W just be the AOE buff that's on the ult and the ult was just the teleport. Maybe that with a smaller cooldown on the ult would be better?

Your champ :D Just imagine him in one of Riots Cinematic Movies. What would he do ? How would he fight ?

He would punch people. In the face. Really, really hard (insert "That's what she said" joke here)

Cool Idea, seems really op, but cool.

Overall the idea seems like it would be very fun to play as a support. Let me say that I I'm assuming anytime someone puts numbers on a theoretical champion that they are prone to either buffs or nerfs so I will be ignoring most of the numbers as far as any ratios go. Also keep in mind this is just my opinion on your champion and I like the effort and direction that it is taking but I am a fan of tough love so sorry if I seem critical of it. Just means that I like your idea enough to spend the time to make a big wall of text. Overall I almost think that I would like to see this champion become more melee based on its abilities, following taric and leona support concept rather then a karma support. Now I'll break down my comments into their abilities.

Passive - Interesting concept, a passive that both heals allies and damages enemies. On the positive side I think that it could lead to some amazingly fun deaths for yourself. I'm just worried about his range. I see a lot of ranged supports off to the side and away from allies in team fights and then if they die its usually surrounded by enemies. While the damage doesn't seems like too much I wonder if it would punish an enemy player too much for doing there job. As far as the healing goes, again the idea is if your ranged you will do what you can to protect your carries from a distance so you might not really get the passive heal off. The ability almost feels like it would go nicer on a off-tank support (taric and leona as examples) then on a range support.

Q - Almost feel like this should mimic zeds shadows more, cast Lingering Spirit on top of an enemy and then Q. Making the Q do the same thing around yourself allowing for you to potentially get two/maybe three people slowed and damaged at the same time. I have more reasons to this but I'll go more in depth about it on the Lingering Spirits ability.

W- This could be either an amazing peel for your carry or a great way to lock down an enemy that is fed. It being ranged is fine with me completely and again while I think numbers would have to be tuned I have no real negatives to say about this pre-tuning.

E- Part of the kit that I love and worry about at the same time. With the way supporting is currently done in league this ability essentially gives you two free wards that not only will spot the enemies but could punish them for using the brush too much. I believe that with the three abilities that I have reviewed so far this champion would be able to provide an extremely safe laning environment with a lot of potential harass and kill potential for your adc, as well as great warding options with your spirits freeing you up to get more damage. This combination at range makes me feel like it would be very fun to play because of how broken you would be as a support but ultimately would be hit by numerous nerf bats since it feels like it has little counter-play options. I know I've said a few times already that making this champion a melee support would help fix that, but it really feels like an amazing way to keep all of your ideas on one champion that could be viable to play against. Then placing the spirits ends up being a major trade-off, do I ward the bush with my spirit since I'm out of wards or do I save it so I can help my adc secure the kill on the enemy. Can I gap-close right now or do I really need vision in case the enemy jungler is near.

R - That global feels a bit much tbh. The ability for an ally to teleport to any lingering spirit or yourself and give them more resists while being invulnerable seems too much. I'd think it would be more interesting if the spirits and you became visible to the enemy team (just the placement of the unit not anyone nearby). Again, it opens up counter play to a potentially broken ability. I can just see this champion running teleport placing 2-3 spirits in the base and your team jumping to your new location for an incredible gank or back door. Also feel that the teleport has to be telegraphed like shens and twisted fates ult. Hope this is helpfull

Regarding him being melee and not ranged, that is a possibility. Part of why I decided he was going to be ranged was because I had a slightly different kit when I was thinking about the stats. A melee support might work as well or better, but I thought that giving him the minimum ranged range was safe, but it is something to think about considering how his passive and Q work.

As far as his Q goes, I'm not sure I worded it clearly, but I did intend for it to act a lot like Zed's W in regards to the lingering spirits. Speaking of which, I think I could have worded that better as well. The intention was that the spirits would be difficult to use in combat situations because they would be revealed for 2 seconds after being places or healing an ally, making them easy to destroy if an enemy was within range. That would be the counterplay and it would also make placing a spirit and immediately activating Q a little more difficult because it could be destroyed as it was placed.

As far as the ult goes, I do think it is probably broken, but that's sort of what makes it fun. Some of the bits tacked on(the resistances and damage reduction) could be taken out in place of lower cooldowns or something, but I felt like it might feel underwhelming later on in the game without some sort of secondary benefit(like TF's ult revealing enemies). And my intention was that the spirits would become revealed to all players(even the enemies) which would show that they could be teleported to but be invulnerable so that they could not be destroyed before the teleport could be completed(sort of like how a ward becomes revealed but invulnerable when someone is teleporting to it). Oh, and I'm not sure it was clear, but I intended for multiple allies to be able to teleport to any target from the same spirit. So if you had one in your fountain and one in their base they could all teleport in. But that's probably too broken. Good thing this is just for fun. :D

The ideas on this champion sound very fun btw, I hope it didn't feel like I was bashing it :P. I guess i'm just worried about a range support being able to be extremely safe AND essentially getting free wards in the forms of spirits. I can understand about the ult, but I still think going teleport support, dropping a spirit by your adc at level six porting to top and bringing the adc for a gank would be incredibly fun, go tanky support and dominate the early game :P Overall I like this idea a lot and I would love to see at least some if not all of this on a champ one day, Great job :)
