(Champion Concept) Name: Ling Mia, the determinated challenger.

In short: Ling Mia is a versatile melee fighter who excels at dealing with mages and neutralizing crowd control.

Design: At her core, Ling is like any other dual champion (Nidale, Elise, Jayce, etc) however she cannot switch between stances as often as those champions, her ultimate is a toggle ability in a long cool down that allows her to switch between stances for a short period of time, after which the player has to decide which stance will persist until the next ultimate.

Her first stance prepares her to disrupt and attack mages while her second stance let her protect vulnerable allies.

Appearance: Ling has long brawn hair tied on the top in a bun hold by sticks, the classic geisha-ish style. Green unfocused eyes(to reflect her disability, please keep reading) and an expression that reflects both calm and fury.

Medium body build, with a league-regular-sized bosom (think Fiora, the new Sejuani or Karma) a well defined waist, broad hips and strong legs.

Her attire consist in a traditional Kung-fu red silk dress that covers down to the thigh, her legs covered in tight dark brown stockings to accentuate her musculature and facilitate movement, and dark purple boots to the kneel.

The core of her theme is a strong and resilient martial artist.

Lore: Lin was born blind, as a child she was constantly put aside by everyone in her natal Damacia.

Due her illness, she was treated with the courtesy an unwanted guest receives, she strove for nothing more than independence and true recognition.

One day however the streets were crowded with hundreds of people preparing to receive the return of the blind monk, that day Ling witnessed the admiration and recognition everyone shown to the fighter and decided to follow him, to find out what exactly was so different between herself and him.

Using her understanding of blindness she following him around for a long time without letting the Monk notice her and finally when she was ready to approach him directly their roads were abruptly separated by a battle between Damacia and Noxus, Ling was lost alone in the wild barely surviving and it was then and there when she understood her true path.

Once she got adapted to the wild she traveled the land drawing inspiration from all the martial arts in Rutera to finally conform her own personal style, the stance brawler.

She now looks for the man who originally inspired her to challenge him, and show him the person she has become.

• I may be blind, but his figure shines so bright that I can only but follow him -

Passive - Transcendence Every time she hits an enemy with an ability or switch stances, she recovers 10 energy

Q - Discovery/Mystery Cost: 60/55/50/45/40 Energy Recast: 8/7/6/5/4 Tiger stance (discovery): Ling quickly dashes a short distance towards the cursor marking and damaging the first enemy in her path for 40/80/120/160/200(0.4 AP), enemies marked this way are revealed afterwards for 8 seconds. Snake stance (mystery): Ling marks the ground and jumps away from the cursor a short distance, if an allied champion steps on the mark they will be shield for 40/80/120/160/200 (0.2 AP) damage for 2 seconds, if an enemy steps on the mark Ling will be healed for the same amount. The mark lasts for 4 seconds. Note: the distance traveled for both abilities is about as long as Vayne's tumble.

W - Impulse/Reserve Cost: 60/55/50/45/40 Energy Recast: 14/13/12/11/10 Passive - Each time Ling receives magic damage her Attack speed and Movement speed are increased by 2/3/4/5/6% this effect can stack up to 3 times and fades one stack at a time each 3 seconds.

	Tiger stance (Impulse): Ling sends a wave forward that looses speed as it travels in a cone shape in front of her, this wave leaves behind a mark in the ground for 6 seconds, enemies hit by the initial wave suffer  50/100/150/200/250(0.6 AP) damage. Enemies standing in the marked area do 15/20/25/30/35% reduced magic damage (does not affect physical damage)
	Note: the size of the cone is the same as Ashe's volley, but the projectile speed decreases so much that it takes about 3 seconds to cover the whole distance. Each enemy champion hit by the original wave reduces her ultimate cool down by 2 seconds.
	Snake stance (Patience): Ling protects herself with a shield that absorbs the next spell cast on her for 3 seconds, breaking the shield grants her 30/40/50/60/70 Magic resist for another 3 seconds and reduces her ultimate cool down by 5 seconds 

E - Unleash/Contain Cost: 60/55/50/45/40 Energy Recast: 20/18/16/14/12 Tiger stance (Unleash): Ling releases a powerful battle cry rooting any enemy previously marked for 2 seconds and becoming immune to crowd control effects for 3 seconds. Snake Stance (Contain): Ling redirects towards herself any skill shot traveling around her.

R - Double edge focus Toggle Available at level 1 Cost: 50/40/30 energy every second Recast 80/70/60 seconds. Active: By activating Double edge focus Ling drains energy every second, once all her energy is depleted she drains 10% of her max hp per second and suffers grievous wounds until the ability is deactivated.

Double edge focus cannot be deactivated unless Ling has been out of combat for 3 seconds

Under the Effect of Double edge focus, her energy regen is halted, her ability costs are reduced to 0 and Ling switches between Tiger and Dragon stances with each ability used. After Double edge focus is deactivated, she can still switch forms on the next cast for the next 3 seconds.

I would love to hear any opinions or criticism on her design.

Thank you very much in advance!
