Algid, cold, silent. The Freljord is no stranger to the snow. It has watched ever so quietly as war, corruption, and betrayal have stained its white purity. But the snow has finished watching idly and from its frost their champion emerges. Ptarmigan is an assassin, specializing in a kit that helps him quickly get the advantage in 1v1's and a passive that lets him finish off the stragglers. He carries The Black Frost, a large runed blade wielded one handed that he swings with fluidity and ease, each swipe conducting his icy wrath. (not adding damage numbers cause im awful at keeping them balanced)

As always share it around if you like what you see and feel free to add to and criticize, thanks!

Passive: Floe Ptarmigan gains bonus movement speed and attack speed for each of his other skills that are on cooldown. 8% per skill on cd.

Q: Cold Winter Ptarmigan swings quickly in a very wide cone. Enemies hit by the center of the cone are pulled forward to be directly in front of Ptarmigan. However if he misses, Cold Winter instead becomes a ranged skill shot at double the range but drastically more narrow than the cone. After the skill shot is thrown (or left to go on cooldown), Cold Winter's next cast will return to a cone. Range: 600/120° Skill shot range: 1200 Skillshot duration: 4 seconds (unaffected by cdr) Cost: 50/60/70/80/90

W: Frigid Touch Ptarmigan channels his icy fury for a short time. During this time Ptarmigan's attacks build stacks of Black Frost onto his enemies to a maximum of 10 stacks. At 3 stacks Ptarmigan gains 10% attack speed, 6 stacks the Ptarmigan gains 15% armor penetration, 8 stacks inflicts a 30% slow, and at 10 stacks the enemy is frozen solid for 2 seconds becoming an Icy Image. If the enemy dies while frozen it will detonate and apply 5 stacks of Black Frost on other enemies nearby. Auto attacks apply 1 stack, while non champion icy image detonations apply 2, and Cold Winter applies 3. While this skill is on cooldown, Ptarmigan can not build the initial stacks. Buff Duration/Debuff Window: 10//13/13/16 Cooldown: 30 seconds (cd starts on cast)

E: Icy Image Ptarmigan throws a Icy Image to an area where it stands harmlessly for 15 seconds, the maximum number of images is cast, or until it is hit with 3 enemy attacks. If Ptarmigan casts this skill again, targeting an already existing Image, he will dash to the image and cause it to explode. Ptarmigan stores charges of Icy Image with the maximum amount of charges scaling with ranks. Ptarmigan gains a free charge whenever he freezes an enemy with Black Frost. Cost (casting on images): 60 mana Charges: 2/2/3/3/4 Recharge Rate (seconds):30/25/20 Maximum images: 3 Cooldown (casting on images): 18/16/14/12/10

R: Susanoo With an initial step/small channel Ptarmigan throws out his large blade to a targeted area. The blade travels to the location spinning and dealing damage before stopping at the targeted location and dealing damage around it. The blade then remains in the area at the cost of mana per second. Enemies caught in the blade move more slowly and take more damage per 5% health they are missing. Channel: 1.25 seconds Cost: 100 mana Mana/second: 20/35/45 Cooldown: 10 seconds

Sounds pretty good and different for sure and I was almost going to ask about your w but u explained everything at the end. But hey little tip for what I did just go and look at existing champion stats like if you want similar stats to zed or something and compare his ult to Anivias ult go and look at the damage they do and stuff to base yours off of. And for full on base stats just same as before but just wiggle around with what you think would work. Does he attack fast? Does he move slow? Is he tanky or squishy? U get the idea. But anyways if you have time could you look at my champion concept, it's Zasadel: demon of the desert and it'll be one of the first concepts at the top of the page.

Also make the lore less about what his kit is and make the lore just lore
