Passive - "A Caretaker's Work" Terra's movement speed is increased by 25/50/75 while with the range or moving towards a friendly structure, destroyed or not. The further away she is from an allied structure and is not moving towards a friendly structure her speed however is reduced by the same amount instead.

Terra's hit point regeneration stops functioning while near a friendly structure. However, while Terra is near a friendly structure it regenerates an amount of health that she would have received instead equal to (2.5% * level, Max 45%).

If she is near a destroyed friendly structure, she gains bonus Armor and Magic Resistance equal to 10/20/30/40/50% of her total health regeneration until she moves outside of its radius.

**First Ability (Q) - "Repelling Earthwave" **Terra stomps the ground and sends forth a small wave of earth that knocks back enemy units and deals 0 + (100% AP). magic damages to them If used while within the radius of a friendly or enemy structure, destroyed or not, enemies are also briefly stunned for 0.5 seconds after the knockback. Range: 300 (AoE) Knockback Range: 300/350/400/450/500 Cooldown: 5/4/4/3/3 seconds (CDR cannot reduce this ability's cooldown). Cast Delay: 0.25 seconds

Second Ability (W) - "Warding Wall" Terra creates a wall of floating stones (terrain) with rune markings. This wall can be damaged like a ward by enemy hero auto attacks (3 hit points + 1 for every 500 health) but not by enemy hero abilities and such abilities are 100% blocked. These walls last for 5 seconds. Range: 650 Width Increase: 16/18/20/22/24. Cooldown: 28/25/22/19/16. Cast Delay: (None)

Third Ability (E) - "Leyline Jump" Terra, after a brief delay makes a standing jump as she makes a leaping arc to a friendly structure, destroyed or not. This jump cannot be interrupted but she can be damaged. She must be near a structure, destroyed or not, to activate Leyline Jump. Range: 5500 Cooldown: 70/65/60/55/50 seconds.

**Ultimate (R) - "The Great Restoration"**Terra targets a destroyed tower, friendly or enemy, and channels for 3 seconds. This tower is rebuilt into a friendly tower. Enemy towers that are restored into a friendly tower have 25% of their total health as their maximum health but will not attack nearby enemy inhibitors or the nexus. Friendly towers are restored to 50/75/100% of their total health. A turret that is restored this way receives a buff where its range is increased by 25% for 15 seconds. A turret restored this way lasts until it is destroyed again. Range: 1000 Cooldown: 210/175/150 seconds (CDR cannot reduce this ability's cooldown).

(I do greatly apologize for not having any artwork to accompany this concept as drawing/painting is not my forte. I would like feedback as this is basically version 1.0 of this champion and is essentially a starting draft.)

Health regeneration to turrets is an extremely broken concept, espcially when you add in warmogs.

I personally like it. A lot her kit to me seems to reflect a focus on anti-snowball and backdooring. I would suggest you lower the amount the turret heals by a more reasonable amount such as percentage amount (2.5% * level) of her health regeneration which at max level would be 45% of your health regeneration rate.

Passive: i suggest reducing the movement speed debuff, since having 75 less ms is making you an easy target if you are away from your turret.

The way the health regeneration is written is quite weird it took me a while to figure out that you probably mean that towers get a % of her health regeneration. Like this quite a lot though, but would either not make it scale with level or give it a base value and let it scale with level a little, since hp5 already scales with level naturally it makes her tower heal almost non existant early.

Not too familar with hp5, but with items like warmogs this does seem very broken. Maybe give a flat amount or remove this part of her passive completely.

Q: A nice ability, but since she is supposed to be a sup i suggest adding base damage and reducing the scaling since it is low range and a sup shouldnt have much ap.

W: like it a lot, but this isnt dota. we have champions not heros (although im not sure dota calls them heroes either xD) Also the way it is generally written feels a bit awkward but that could just be my impression

E: so a 70-50 second tp? thats way too strong even if it can only target allied structures.

R: Bringing towers back into the game is far too strong. Just look at azirs passive which got nerfed immediatly after release because his towers lasted so long. I suggest that it is similar to azirs passive and can be reduced by cdr, this way it still fits her struture defender theme and gives her great potential when fighting near destroyed turrets
