Reasoning: Yager is a Tank/Support who can go bot lane and buff your allies while providing some decent poke, he can also go into the Jungle for fast wave clear and strong ganks

Backstory Come sit down, it has been a long travel for you my young friend and the nights are treacherous. Here I shall serve you some soup I could myself, and while you eat you can listen to an old man's rambles. You see, in the days of old spirits had a closer connection to human kind, while humans have distanced themselves from the spirits, the said cannot always be said the other way around. Yager is one of the few Grater Spirits who walk our world, while he takes many forms, he prefers the form of the Lion. Yager is the Spirit of Beasts, he rules the animal world, protecting it from unnecessary hunting, and giving his blessings to hunters who ask politely. Anger him though, and you will end up as the two hunters who lied. What is their story you ask, well let me tell you. Long ago, two hunters worked together to hunt creatures, and while skilled, they always evaded Yager, for they hunted the beasts that were meant to hunt. Worse is that they lied, saying that they had Yagers Blessing and could freely hunt these magnificent beasts. One day, they found themselves hired to hunt a rare silver wolf whose pelt was said to shine clearly even in the thickest mist. This wolf was one of the sacred children of Yager, one that should never be hunted, but the hunters were foolish, and thought themselves above it. They tracked it and followed it slowly back to it’s lair, where is was shown to have cubs waiting for it. As they quickly plotted to kill the the silver she wolf and take the cubs to sell for extra cash, they saw the wolf look in their direction. The hunters feared that they were spotted, but were confused why it did not run, or even threaten. In only a few seconds a terrifying growl followed by a looming shadow told the hunters everything. The wolf was not looking at them, it was looking at the large golden Lion standing above them. They have heard the tales of Yager’s Lion form and realized that their ruse was up, but they never knew that mercy was forgone, as they pleaded and begged for forgiveness upon the Lion’s feet. The first promised to never hunt again, the second, promised to serve him loyally anyway he could. Ironically both did as they said, as the first was eaten, so he may never hunt again, the second was fed to the wolf pups he once tried to steal, serving Yager loyally. I do hope you liked this tale, it was a good deal hard to remember, oh look at the time, well why don’t we go to bed now hm? already then, goodnight!

Like relaxing on a warm rock Attacking: He back swipes his target, crits make him bite, and he slams his body into the base of the structures when he attacks them. Joke: He takes notice to a nearby Fire-Fly, he then crouches before pouncing on it, missing, and then chases it in circles before tripping on himself and falling over, then composing himself “I am the greatest hunter alive, nothing, can, Escape, ME, Gah… I let him go” “I can get it. I can get it! I CAN-, Oof… catch it later” “Must, resist, urge, to, Rarararararararararargh, Hurk! Curse you shiny dot.”

I really like the passive. It helps your allies tower dive. Kind of like Alistar and engage champions like Alistar are popular now a days for support. One big problem, is the ult. it's way too similar to Olaf's ult, Ragnorak. They both have movement speed boost, armour and mr boost, Olaf has 100% tenacity (another way to say immune to cc) while this one has only 10% tenacity. The only difference is Olaf gets an attack speed boost while this one give more armour and mr to allies which also reminds me of Taric. Try to find some way to make the ult more distinguishable from other similar champions like agaric and Olaf.

If you want, check out my champion idea: Balderdash, the Spring Brawler

Upvote for the lore ending

Questions What's the point of having a global cast on Q if it doesn't activate until the ally is within 1000 units?

Have you thought of making the parts of your passive mode connected? Such as instead of the 25% damage reduction from creeps being always on, it passively turns on for 3 sec when using an ability.

Is W cast kinda like Malzarhars silence wall were the paws will move in a line and cross each other?

What if the ult gave Tenacity and increased all resistances by 10/20/30% in addition to spreading all active buffs on him to others within the radius, plus increasing the duration of active buffs that are already active on allied champs by 25%?

I enjoyed reading the interactions with items and other champions.

Honestly when I first read his title "The King of Beasts" the only thing that I could think of was the One Piece guy, can't remember his name off the top of my head.

Anywho, I enjoyed the concept, and really liked his kit. I feel like the percentage could be toned down a little bit, but otherwise it's good.

Feel free to check out my concept as well! http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/6YdnX5EH-xajahr-the-void-guard-ranged-ap-health-scaling-tank

Passive: Seems ok

Q: sion e just worse?

W: passive is op. Now you may say but vlad gets 2.5% and hp too, but vlad only gets ap from his BONUS hp. now this champ gets 5% of his TOTAL hp. Active is also pretty weird and i have no idea what mouse wheel/ball means since mousewheel is not a legitimate control for something like this and i have no idea what mouseball even is supposed to be

E: Could be strong, but considering the rest of his kit i guess its ok.

R: Just plain stupid. cast every buff on him, ult, success. leave his range and you get damage for some stupid reason? Very team comp heavy ult that is otherwise useless. Dont like it at all.

Overall you tried to create a tank support with lots of ad too i guess, but made a pretty boring to play champ in my eyes. You tried to do some interesting new things but it is very poorly executed in my eyes.
