Champion Project: Galimn
Short Lore: Once a loving father of 2 daughters, the peaceful Ionian farmer witnessed with his own eyes the terror Noxus brought to his land. The flames, the chemicals, the destruction of everything he ever knew and cared about. Seeing his daughters and wife choke in the midst of chaos, his only home burning down to ashes and changed something in him. The sole survivor of an entire village. Who could do such a thing, he thought. That thought, along with terrible memories of anguish haunted him for years, creating slowly but steadily a twisted thirst for revenge, not for justice, but for plain pleasure. After traveling in hiding for decades, stealing and murdering anyone he met, he stumbled upon an ancient crypt in the Shuriman desert. He thought it was an excellent idea to loot it and sell its items and relics. What he found inside the deep underground crypt though was not from any known human origin. It wasn't from any other Runeterra's species origin he'd heard about either. He found the energy surrounding this place interesting and gruesome even for him, descending hundreds of meters deep into a set of never ending narrow and utterly dark stairs, until he reached a small star shaped box, with embedded diamonds and rubies. A fainting yet threatening red light came from inside; and the man having already lost everything became consumed by his greed and opened it. The interior of the box was empty, but the fainting red light grew stronger. The man clearly confused and terrified by the strange rumblings and tremors of the ground beneath him and above him, tried to escape, without success, knowing deep inside him that this is the end. After 3 whole days and nights, he thought it was his time to die, but his thirst for revenge was becoming even stronger, as he was blaming Noxus for this grave destiny of his. During his final breaths, the fainting light started to move, entering in a twisting motion the cavities of the man like a worm, infecting every part of his mind and body. His final thought was that so far he had not lost everything, but now he lost his soul. This thing inside him, feeding from him for aeons, eventually transformed him into something that resembled no man. When the ominous light and the soulless man merged into one, the incarnation of evil, he understood his destiny. Releasing himself from his prison, spreading madness and corruption, creating havoc and sadistically killing everyone, not just the Noxian soldiers, Galimn has embraced his new self and would not trade it for anything.
Abilities:
Passive: Sadistic revenge: For each subsequent kill on the same enemy champion, Galimn gains HP and additional gold.
Q: Deathly Claws: Galimn's auto attacks gain extra range for a short duration and hit for AoE damage.
W: Corruption/Madness: Passive effect: Corruption:Galimn's auto attacks stack on the enemy champion, and with every 5 stacks, he can activate Madness: Consumed 5 corruption stacks from the selected champion and makes the next enemy ability and auto attack to damage the original caster.
E: Dead End: Galimn dissolves into pure evil, gaining movement speed, ignoring unit collision and gaining damage reduction. For each second he touches an enemy champion he applies a stack of corruption, but he cannot auto attack. Duration: ~3-5 seconds
R: Evil Incarnate: Galimn's rage transforms even further his body, increasing in size and hp. Enemies with corruption stacks become feared for 1 second for 1 stack, each additional stack fears them for 0.5 (or less) seconds. He also gains attack speed and his q is active for the duration.
Note: I have not put any stats or ratios on the abilities, or his kit, but I will explain his fundamentals and gameplay.
Gameplay: Malign is an off tank/ bruiser, who tries to bait his opponents to fight him long enough to apply his corruption. His Q offers wave clear, a harass and chasing tool, while his W makes his opponents think twice before fighting him. His E is a very effective defensive tool, using it for escape or for turning a fight around, applying corruption stacks while tanking damage. His R is his only CC, and a serious damage source.
Pros: + built in tankiness, +range, + outplay potential with E and W, + small sustain, + snowball potential
Cons: - No reliable cc, -prone to cc,-relies on his w.
Recommended stats: Attack speed, hp, ad
Appearance: Human appearance, a single horn on his forehead, a small tail, his skin is covered in red and black fluild like essence. Very large hands with claws. During his Ult he gains 2 more horns on the side of his head and a longer tail, as well as hellish armor.
(I can't really draw, so if anyone could do it I'd appreciate it a lot)
Thanks for reading!

Maybe instead of a damage return, it just does outright damage with a slow?
E.
Keep the movement speed and make damage reduction something like 5% - 10% rank 1 - 5.
E where you can activate it based on if they have 5 stacks in a certain range.
