ENJOY! :D

LORE

Mina's the youngest in her family of five. She was born into a house of creativity where walls were adorned with realistic and surrealist images, bookshelves were filled tightly with literature (half of which was written by her elder brothers), and the air was always sweet with the delicate melodies her mother would compose.

It was only natural Mina would find her creative gifts early in life. Mina flourished with a brush in her hand. She would paint on canvas, on walls, and even on the rocks and trees of nature if she had nothing else. Before she was 10 it was impossible to walk the streets without seeing one of her inspiring paintings adorned on a makeshift canvas.

Around this time, Mina was wondering around a forest near Bandle looking for a perfect spot to paint, carrying a lucky brush she takes everywhere with her, her and her mother carved it from wood when she was only 6 years old. and it still worked like a charm. As she wandered deeper into the woods trying to find that perfect spot. she stumbled upon a whimsical place...

The Glade Filled with so much color, vibrance, and fae creatures she had never seen before in her life, they welcomed her, she then met the whimsical yordle by the name of Lulu, who had been there since forever as Lulu described herself, they let her stay for quite a while, Lulu welcomed her as well as the fae creatures. Lulu knew they would be best friends, as both were so silly and whimsical and LOVED colors they just fit together, Lulu enchanted Minas special brush giving it the power of spells, and ability to cast color upon anything she desired.

After being in the glade for so long, she realized very suddenly like Lulu, who forgot to remind her. That she had a life back in Bandle City, a special life in which she lived, loved, and experienced. She left to go back, but by the time she returned her family had passed... in fact the whole town was... empty. walking through town, it was quiet. and lonely, yet still her art was all over the city. she found a poster tagged on the side of an old business building. her face was on it and it read out, "Missing 400 years, the long lost artist of Bandle who we loved and miss. May her art be displayed with pride and beauty" a tear fell from her face, as she went insane, splashing paint all over the city with the beautiful paintbrush her and her mother carved together as she was a child. the city, now covered in paint had been practically demolished. she couldnt live with herself knowing her family and friends werent with her, to support her or love her the way she needed to be loved, she decided to join the League of Legends, to show her art to the world and become the best artist who ever lived. and never let her art die off.

Thats what i have for the Lore so far, once again credit to whValentine for the great lore start off :D <3 * Lets get into abilities then ^_^ these have heavily been updated!

Abilities

Passive-Paint Trail/Artist Block Unlike many champions Mina has 2 passives, Paint trail, and Artist block. Paint trail-When Mina hits an enemy champion with an ability, it least a bit of paint on them, and wherever they walk for the next 3 seconds in will leave a trail of paint, then dissapears after 3 seconds, this paint also grants vision of the trail the enemy leaves behind.

Artist Block-Every couple of seconds as long as Mina hasn't taken damage, she will reduce all of her abilities cool downs by 1-3 seconds(depending on her level) so every 6 levels it goes up by 1 :)

Q-Splash Of Color This ability stacks to 3 different colors when using it going in order from Yellow, Blue, and Red! the ability itself shoots in target direction and goes out with 1200 units of range deals damage to the first thing hit, along with the bonus depending on the color stack. The effects of color come with the stack, per 3, like i said it goes from Yellow, to Blue, to Red, each doing a different thing. Yellow-Striggers an AoE splash dealing a small amount of damage to enemies behind the enemy hit. Blue-Applies a scaling slow Red-Leaves a bleed that dies off over 3 damaging strikes, just like ignite, but less damage if not a lot in her AP scaleing, ex.her build, runes masteries. but otherwise works like darius's bleed or fizz's :) Damage-60/80/120/160/210 magic damage Cooldown-11 Seconds

  • Mana cost-60/80/100/130/150

W-Camouflage Paint Mina paints on herself to make herself blend in with her surroundings, in other words going stealthed. also granting a small amount of bonus movement speed for 2 seconds after going stealthed. Cooldown-16 seconds

  • Stealth lasts 8 seconds unless revealed by being damaged or using abilities or auto attacks.
  • Mana cost-90/150 @lvl 16

E-Recolor Mina changes up the colors on a champion dealing damage. if the enemy is affected with paint trail, this ability will silence them for 1 second and 2 seconds at level 16. 800 units range Damage-80/120/160/200/240(+0.6 AP) magic damage Silence-1.0/1.25/1.5/1.75/ 2 seconds Cooldown-15 Seconds Mana cost-70/100/120/180/210

R-MASTER PIECE Mina jumps to target rectangular area of 375 units range, 700 units long, 500 units tall is the shape of the rectangle and size, it stuns enemies that get hit when she jumps to the area in it for 1 second & deals damage after 3 seconds while mina splashes a bunch of abstract shapes and colors in the rectangle (rectangle being the paint canvas on her back, but her magically enlarging it) Damage-200/345/450(+0.75 AP) magic damage Cooldown-125/100/90seconds

  • Mana cost-155/125/100

I do remember seeing this posted a long awhile ago. While like you said you don't feel like changing it, but perhaps give you my thoughts on the artist as a whole.

Passive - I like the idea of the paint trail. It makes sense and fits the champion. I can see her being a support in my eyes but that is just me.

As for the second part of her passive, it is basically a Miss Fortune passive. Something like that is simply cut and paste. Now considering that the part of the passive it named Artist's block, I wish to suggest something. "Every couple of seconds as long as she hasn't taken damage, she will reduce all of her abilities cool downs by 1-3 seconds." It matches her getting ideas for art and then for that she gets reduced cool down on her artistic abilities.

Q - Honestly I find nothing wrong with the ability, a few tweeks for the paints. Like give us a general idea of the damage you looking for with the AoE of the Yellow (If you want it to be weaker, stronger, or the same) and of the damage over time of the Red paint. As for the blue paint I have a question, for the scaling slow would it scale with her AP or with rank, or both?

W - Now personally I don't like the concept of having a knock back on this champion. She is a yordle painter so why would she have the strength to knock someone back? Instead I purpose this, why not have the spin apply the paint effects from her Q? You can have the paint from the last Q linger for a bit on the brush and allow those effects to be applied to the spin. This allows for some interesting play and counter play seeing that she wouldn't have a giant amount of CC.

E - Oh silences, you can love them and hate them. They have their purposes of course, but you have to apply them the right way. For Mina her a silence wouldn't be out of the question. Though if she could just silence an enemy that easily then it would be tough to go against her. So what I suggest is maybe the ability will silence only if they have paint trail applied to them. It can be used for straight damage but it would make players have to work for the silence.

R - This ult does fit the character quite nicely. At least of painting a canvas. Although it does put her in danger sense it is technically a leap. But sense its a leap it can be used as an escape, not that I don't mind mobility. Instead though of having it deal instant damage why not go for damage over time. They targets will technically be stunned if landed upon so for it to deal instant damage is kinda a bummer sense she has to spend time painting on the canvas.

Those are simply my thoughts. Hopefully you like some of them ^_^ if you want your welcome to look into any of my champions and give them your thoughts or to seek inspiration.

i would love to see this champ as a support! think sona with paint! slows, paint trail, maybe a random ability that either heals, does damage, or shields, and her ult could be a "death box" that deals damage as long as people are in it.

just my thoughts as to what i would like to see as a support. maybe she can choose a color and that color makes her spells do certain things?

red: damage blue: cc green: heals and shields black: aoe and damage from ult

q = paint flick (ranged) swipes brush in the air and deals a swath of damage (red: similar to atrox cleave) (blue) leaves a vision trail for 10 sec (green) applies a shield (black) marks a target with black paint, deals damage over time, leaves trail

w= brush strokes (3 hit melee) (red) melee strike that finishes with an aoe on third hit (blue) slows then stuns enemy after 3 strokes (green) heals ally or self (can be used on 3 champs or 1) (black:ult) fast melee strikes that dash and leave black paint

e= pick a color (tap e to cycle through red, blue, green) passive with ult: black/red/blue paint trails from enemies give a speed boost

r= PAINT IT BLACK! ult: for 15 seconds she uses black destructive paint and her spells take different effects (maybe speed boost too?)

my suggestion sounds like a graphical nightmare though lol
