Visions of the Void (Character concept)

I have been unable to rest recently, due to nightmarish visions haunting that limbo between sleep and wakefulness. Visions of swirling purple, and new eyes staring from it; eyes belonging to some hideous leech come to drain the strength from its enemies and deliver those powers to those who would tolerate it's existence.

Theatrics aside, I've managed to think up an idea for a new support character hailing from the void. Basically thinking of a champ that sticks to enemies and makes them worse at fighting instead of giving allies extra resistances.

Passive taking a page from summoner 3 and applying a damage dealt debuff with his attacks/abilities. Brain calls it shrivel.

Q being a shield-like ability to an ally. doesn't shield damage, but shrivels any enemies attacking the target/ IF and ONLY IF the target takes enough damage it pops slowing and shriveling any nearby enemies.

W Symbiosis. Apply to an ally to rant the ally and himself movement speed toward each-other, additionally grants him a shield based on % ally deals damage and heals the ally based on % damage he takes

E Movement. He moves in an erratic pattern, maybe like an Italic N or W and gains a burst of attack speed when he reaches the end of the path or collides with an enemy. maybe shrivels enemy hit?

R Mega Malzahar Q Creates portals originating at him and his symbiotic ally that the move toward the other one rooting, damaging, and shriveling enemies hit the other shielding allies. or maybe just one portal that does both effects and only moves from him to S.A.?

Really rough and unrefined as the idea is (woo overtired creativity) It's got a fair bit of merit IMO. Creates a fighter support to be taken in place of say Leona that has unique mechanics in the shrivel passive and the symbiosis healing/shielding. built in counter-play to mechanics being a significant lack of peel if you FOCUS the ally he DOESN'T shield. W If you balance right around it will force the guy to rely on having a nearby ally and gate him from being another solo fighter but still gives that support aspect. E is a bit weak/uninspired, but I think there's not enough champions with unique ability patterns like Diana or Velkoz 's Qs and this is a way to fix that problem I see with something that's not just a skillshot and make the dude just that touch more unique . R shoring up the lack of peel a bit while also providing some traditional supporting with high level positioning play potential, especially if you combo with the E.

As for character design I keep bouncing around all the various combinations that could come from merging a stickbug/katydid with a leech/lamprey. Something bloodsucking and obviously from the void but more creep than claws. could still be pretty big though. if it was floating/flying the E movement pattern would make more visual sense. also a void support is a super interesting idea to me.

But yeah, new champion idea. boom. Comments/Criticisms encouraged even if it's just "Wow this guy would be total garbo" Riot of course is welcome to take the idea and run with it or scrap it for parts. though if by some aligning of stars that does happen I'd like to be a voice in naming discussions.

This is all I ot until next time I can't sleep, so enjoy.
