[Champion Concept] Ayelia the Escape Artist

As I was reading through some of the champion lores, Alistar's stuck out to me because I always wanted to know what happened to Ayelia after his escape. Nothing was written so I decided to write something myself. There was already one concept written for her but to me it didn't seem to fit the kind soul that was depicted in Alistar's lore.

Primary: Support Secondary: Mage Range: 580 Gameplay: Ayelia is a tanky support mage who excels in getting her allies out of sticky situations and showing her enemies the error of their ways.

Lore: Prior to her entry into the League, Ayelia was as a servant girl for the noble house in charge of organizing Noxus' infamous gladiator event know as The Fleshing. For as long as she could remember Ayelia was a slave and for her, this dreaded life was all too normal. Assisting the injured warriors of The Fleshing gave Ayelia's life a sense of meaning and it was enough for the small girl who never questioned her position or the world that laid beyond the watchful eye of Noxus......until Alistar arrived. Alistar was a massive beast who was more kind-hearted than he appeared, outside of the arena that is. Curious about the beast, Ayelia spoke with Alistar many times and learned of life outside of Noxus and more importantly, she learned what freedom was.

Her curiosity peaked, Ayelia had hoped that one day Alistar would introduce her to such a world but with the passing of each day and each subsequent battle, Alistar's mind slowly started to erode. Ayelia spent every day nursing Alistar back to health both physically and mentally for he was her hope and unknowingly, she had become his. The young girl desired to release Alistar from his enslavement and scoured her master's, home, studying every magic book she could find in hopes of freeing both him and herself. A plan that could of gotten her killed but the young girl was crafty, even managing to escape the watchful eye of Noxus High Command. With time, she had learned a large number of spells but she was still only one person; attempting to free Alistar on her own would be utter suicide. Ayelia needed an accomplice and thankfully, the king of Demacia, Jarvan II had decided to lend his assistance in not only Alistar's escape but in all of The Fleshing's gladiators.

Ayelia had found herself free but separated from Alistar after the escape and spent years finding him while honing her skills. Now a young woman, Ayelia was shocked to see Alistar had returned to fighting in the League of Legends but also proud of him for using his new status as a League champion to help others affected by the ruthless Noxian empire. Once again Ayelia decided to use her powers to help Alistar both on and off the Fields of Justice.

Passive (Great Escape) Range: 800 Ayelia's skills as an escape artist grants herself and all nearby allies an aura decreasing the effects of all stuns, roots, and slows by 40 + (5 per 100 AP)%.

Q (Confinement) Damage: Magic Damage - 100/130/160/190/220 + (65% AP) Range: 900 Zone Range: 85 Mana cost: 65 Cooldown: 19/16/13/10/7 Seconds

Ayelia creates a magic circle which stuns and damages enemy champions who land on it for 1/1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds while granting true vision of said champion. Up to three Confinement circles can be placed on the map and last 30/60/90/120/150 seconds before disappearing.

W (Unwavering Hope) Range: Self Mana Cost: 15 per second Cooldown: 1 second

While Unwavering Hope is active, Ayelia gains +25/30/35/40/45 movement speed 125/150/175/200/225% health regain and (15% AP)% increase in Attack Speed

E (Helping Hands) Range: 500 Mana Cost: 70/85/100/115/130 Cooldown: 12 Seconds

Ayelia grants herself or a targeted ally a shield which blocks 110/135/160/185/210 + (40% AP) damage for 3 seconds. After three seconds the remaining shield is then absorbed as a heal.

R (Empathy) Damage: Magic Damage - 40/45/50% of missing health + (50% AP) Range: 1100 Zone Range: 400 Mana Cost: 125 Cooldown: 110/95/80 Seconds

Ayelia forces enemy champions to feel her pain by inflicting a portion of her missing health as AOE magic damage, slowing them down by 65% for 1.5 seconds.

So, what do you think? Are there any changes you would make?

I love the champion in general and i like the fact that someone created a support champion concept. In general Ayelia is a total counter to the annoying Morgana with both her passive and her stun which competes that 3 second stun of Morgana The only thing i would change is her w. I would make it a more supportive skill. Keep it the same, but make allies around her (same range as her passive) gain the 50% of what she gains with her w. Same way Gangplank 's E works. Thats my opinion. PS. I made a champion concept also, if u like, check him out and share your thoughts on him also. Thank you!

sounds good, i like the idea of the ult the most. In team fights if targeted, stunned, or burst down it could turn the tide on the fight. Keep up the good work!

I think that passive is a bit OP. especially if you also grab item 3111 . 40%, and another 20% that's over half of CC ignored. I think it would be better sat at 20%, just to make it not so major. 20% is already pretty awesome especially as passive aoe.

I love the ult idea, really really like it. No real notes for it, I just like it a lot lol nice.

Her Q bears much resemblance to Caitlyn's trap. How about (since she's an escape artist) we have a little fun, and say that If a friendly champion is near the trap, the enemy is stunned/rooted. if not, then slowed. That makes it unique, and also provides an interesting twist.

For the W, I feel it needs a passive version of it, to give you a reason at times to not turn it on. lvl 18 you get extra 45% movement speed AND 225% health regen? seems like a lot. which is ok, as long as you sacrifice more than just some mana. Imo.

I think the E should buff, instead of just granting the remainder as health, why not 150% of the remainder? that way you get to heal as a support, and it pressures the enemy to knock the shield down faster. I can see lots of baiting opportunity there.

I do love this concept though, and I don't want to seem like I tore your champ apart i simply wanted to give feedback on every piece of it. Take what you want and throw the rest away lol just wanted to touch everything. I main Alistar he's great and I was wanting Riot to come out with Ayela since it mentions her. Good work!!
