Tessa, The Flame of Noxus

This is my first champion concept. Honestly, I was intruiged by the concept of Yasuos' wind technique and his lore is kind of what created the concept behind Tessa. I would love to see a Fire, Eath, and Water technique added to the game, i think it would give it a little diversity. I am aware that the scaling is bad, but Tessa is still a work in progress. Also, if you have an idea for a Passive and Ulti, feel free to leave an idea in the comments. Thank you.

Passive- Blazing Blade Work in Progress

Q- Dance of Flames Tessa swings her blade in a circle, dealing 70/85/100/115/130(x) points of damage to any champion in the area of effect. Passive- If Dance of Flames is cast immediately after Fire of Noxus, Dance of Flames ignites champions in the AOE for 2.5 seconds dealing an additional 30% scaling to 60% of damage dealt trough the duration.

W- Ferocity Shove Ferocity Shove knock enemies away from Tessa. Dealing 50/65/80/95/110(x) points of damage, and stunning them if they make contact with a wall, minion, or champion for 2 seconds. If Ferocity Shove makes contact with another champion or minion, it deals half damage and stuns them for 1 second.

E- Fire of Noxus Tessa dashes to target minion or champion dealing 30/50/70/90/110(x) points of damage.

R- Ember of Execution Work in Progress

Once a highly intelligent pupil at the Ionian Sword school, Tessa was a formidable student and one of the top in her class. At a young age she was fast to master the Fire technique. She came only second in her class to a young man named Yasuo.

When Noxus invaded Ionia, she was put on the front line of battle. She wielded her blade with the ferocity of fire at her side. She nimbly disposed of many Noxian soldiers. But when she made a sweeping round on the streets to see if she could find more Noxians to execute she came across four bodies lay in a pile on the street, as she advanced on these bodies she came to realize the features of her father, mother, and younger brother lying bloody and lifeless in the middle of the brick road with scattered noxians around them, she fell to her knees and sadness overwhelmed her. She wept. A surge of anger swept over her. She tightened the grip on her sword and lept back into battle viscously tearing down Noxian soldiers, in her wave of anger she failed to realize a body looming behind her. A crow bringing her to her knees, a gruesome man stepped from the shadows. Then the world went black.

She woke up in a cell. two Noxian men came to the cell regularly, taking her away to whip her into submission, for a long time she wouldn't submit. Her hatred boiling over. Until one day she finally caved, but she didn't cave without a purpose. She would serve Swain, the leader of Noxus with only one intention. To find his weakness, and kill him.

Title already taken by Darius "the Hand of Noxus"

Way to similiar to Yasuo IMHO. The only new ability is the W, which from the sound of it is a condemn. That said the Reason why Yasuo has a windwall is to survive against hard poke, whereas your current kit would be hardcountered by range (no extra range on Q and no defense from passive or W).

True, the back story does put them through the same school though. We can always change her name to the Noxian Assassin or Servant. Which champion is original these days anyways? I figured since she has a dash, her W can either be an engage or disengage. Just for the simple fact that she does have some CC compared to Yasuo, where he does not. Keep in mind I haven't figured out a passive or ultimate for her yet. However, I do appreciate the feed back. I wanted the backstory to be her most compelling piece. Kidnapped and "forced" under the servitude of Swain as a private, killing tool, if you will.

Wukong and Yi use the exact same technique, but still have differences. Also Yasuos school specifcally teaches Wind Tequniques, so no flame sword users there.

where he does not

Q knockup + R reset?

Kidnapped and "forced" under the servitude of Swain as a private, killing tool, if you will.

Some problems: Swain already has killing tools so why ever pick one that may betray him? Also why just use torture? Considering his access to the Black Rose I wouldn't be suprised if he could completly brainwash here, without any shred of resistance remaining.

Which champion is original these days anyways?

Which isn't? (Discounting old champions who are getting reworked anyway) Disclaimer: I measure originality as introducing gameplay or thematics not yet explored, so there could be differences in our perception
