The Thunder lord and The Gathering storm(Champion, Skins, and game mode concept)
The Thunder lords
I kind of want a new lightning champion as we have a few, but they are so awkward and not really lightning theme appropriate in my opinion. So I was thinking maybe a champion based off of the Rajin, creatures from Japanese mythology who create the thunder and lightning. My favorite example is Eneru from One piece https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiecetreasurecruiseglobal/images/2/2a/C0603.png/revision/latest?cb=20160122213937, He is very laid back, lazy in fact, but he is a power house and kind of pycopathic at times. His looks are in fact based off of eminem lol.

In fact they were even portrayed on the show Teen titans if anyone remembers that one. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/teentitans/images/7/71/Thunder_lightning_-_Copy.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130607192201. Of course this would only be one champion, but a combination of them.
In fact lunar Nasus and WW probably took inspiration from the Raijin as you can the things behind their backs usually are associated with the raijin. https://78.media.tumblr.com/1c6621335e0892b66463a50bb9f11d63/tumblr_p3gwxwv5731r6o1dao2_1280.png
I don't have a kit at this moment and since Riot rarely, if ever, listens to the C&C posts on kits I wont add one. I just want it to be majorly Lightning themed.
The Skins
I love the thunder lord skins and Kind want a few for some more champions. Like Yasuo, Kayn, Asol, Wukong, and maybe a few others.
The Gathering Storm
A new game mode. Basically it starts with a background where the champions are in the sky among the clouds. It will be based around capture the flag. Each team has to go to the enemy base and capture a bolt of lightning and bring it back to supercharge their cloud to be able to release the gathering storm which descends down to the mortal world.
A) 5 lightning bolts to win the game, maybe 10 if 5 turns out to be to short of a game. B) No wards in this game mode C) Every 5 minutes without a bolt delivered to the storm, the closest 3 players to the base are struck by the discharge of the storm and killed unless no one is within range(It doesn't matter if it's your base or the enemies closest 3 dies). If no one is close to die, the base releases a cloud which wonders the map and strikes people as they walk around for the rest of the game.
-
Players can't pick up their own Bolts of lightning while inside their own base, but if someone steals the bolt of lightning and they kill him outside of the base, they can store it inside of their ward slot in their item set. Should they choose to go back to the base, the bolt is automatically placed back in its spot. So they can run around the map to protect their bolt and try to strategically hide from the other team to keep it safe with them.
-
If it is your own teams bolt and you are about to die or just want to transfer it, you can send it to allies slot, but it will reduce their current hp by 50%(no pun intended).
-
There will be no turrets in the game. You can buy turrest and place them in any spot you want, but they are only small turrets. You get to build walls and other defenses at a max cost of 5000 joules. So your team has to spend their funds appropriately.
That is all for now, I'll try to update the ideas as time passes.
