Heya all! So... I've been off a while tinkering with some ideas and HERE WE GO! Once more, I had no concrete image to go on, so for clothes, check the picture above, For the blade, Kaatyo, check the link below marked "Kaatyo" (duh!).Ladies, Gentlemen, Yordles, Voidborn, Aspects, Undead, giant, star-building space Dragons, allow me to present to you Miyuki, the Freljord's Soul.

AND THIS TIME I AM REALLY STRESSING THIS: THIS WHOLE TOPIC IS EXTREMELY BETA, GOT THAT? GOOD. ONCE MORE: BETA! THAT MEANS SUBJECT TO MULTIPLE CHANGES!

EDIT: AND JUST SO THAT WE'RE ALL CLEAR, ONCE AND FOR ALL, TO ALL OF YOU WHO CONSIDER THIS A RIPOFF OF AVATAR: MIYUKI CANNOT WATERBEND. I AM VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. AFTER TALIYAH, THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GONNA MAKE AN ELEMENT BENDER OF ANY KIND. ICE DAGGER X WATERBENDER. GOT IT? GOOD.

Now that THAT'S out of the way, I have one last thing to say: if you haven't already, check out my other projects here:

P.S: I DO NOT OWN THE ART FOR ANY OF THESE. ALL RIGHTS GOT TO THE ORIGINAL CREATORS!

Passive: Freeze-Forged Miyuki's dagger, Kaatyo, emits an aura of freezing energy around Miyuki at all times. If Miyuki takes damage, the attacker suffers 1% of the damage done and is slowed by 1% for 0.5 seconds. This slow percentage increases by 0.5% for every kill Miyuki obtains, and by 0.25 for every assist she obtains. The damage done by this passive increases to 3% when Miyuki falls below 50% of her total health.

Q: Ice Blade Miyuki flings her knife at a target, dealing 25/30/45/55/70 + (30% total Ability Power) and creating a field that follows the target around for 5 seconds that increases ally movement speed by 5%. Also applies Freeze-Forged when possible.

Mana cost: 50/55/60/65/70 Mana. Cooldown: 9/8.5/7.5/6/5 seconds.

W: Winter Winds Passive: Miyuki gains +5% movement speed for every ally Champion within 1000 units of her. If Miyuki drops below 30% of her total health, she automatically flings all enemy Champions within 1000 units of her 500 units away from her.

Active: Miyuki flings all enemy Champions within 200 units of her 500 units away.

NO MANA COST WHEN ACTIVATED AUTOMATICALLY Mana Cost for MANUAL ACTIVATION: 15/13/12/10/8.5 seconds. Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/7.5 seconds.

E: Slicing Arc Miyuki dashes forwards in an arc, dealing 15/25/35/55/80 +(50% of total AP) to all targets hit, and dealing an additional 10% of total AP to all slowed enemies she hits.

Mana cost: 50/55/65/75/85 Mana. Cooldown: 12/11/10/8.5/7.5 seconds.

R: Path of Northern Ice Miyuki selects one of the 3 lanes (top, mid, bot) and channels for 3 seconds before freezing it solid (from Inhibitor Turret to Inhibitor Turret). Enemy Champions on the ice are revealed and Miyuki gains +10% movement speed while on it. In addition, Miyuki takes 5% less damage on the ice and her Q (Ice Blade) blasts nearby enemies with a slow field of 10% for 1.5 seconds and 50% of the initial damage done by the blade. If Miyuki hits 3 or more enemy Champions with her blade + blade AoE, the cooldown of Ice Blade is reduced by 50%. Path of Northern Ice lasts 7 seconds, and remains active even if Miyuki dies during this time.

Mana cost: 100/100/120 Mana. Cooldown: 130/120/100 seconds.

Lore

Miyuki is a warrior of ice, rushing past enemies with the grace of a bird in flight and the precision of a master archer. A denizen of the Freljord, Miyuki’s fierce determination is matched only by her astounding skill at wielding her magic True Ice dagger, Kaatyo. Once a simple farmer girl living with her family in the Avarosan Valley, Miyuki’s life changed forever when her village was attacked by Sejuani’s clan, the Winter’s Claw. Rushing for cover, Miyuki’s parents brought her to a secret chamber beneath their house, where she was given a small silver box embedded with exquisite turquoise crystals. Before she could open it, however, enemy troops barged in and slaughtered her parents. If not for her natural agility, honed through years of working in the mountains and forests, Miyuki would have met the same fate. Leaving her village, Miyuki sought protection from Ashe, leader of the Avarosan clan. She explained the situation to her, and was granted indefinite asylum in Ashe’s fortress. Eventually, however, reality struck Miyuki that she would never see her parents again, nor would she ever enjoy the warmth and shelter she felt in her home and with her family. Wiping the tears from her face, Miyuki turned her attention to the small ornate box she had been trusted with. Inside, she found a beautiful dagger of solid True Ice, its hilt wrapped in Frost Drake hide. As she grabbed the hilt, she noticed her hand turn to living ice, her skin crystalizing as the knife spoke in her mind: “I am Kaatyo. There is much to be done”. Leaving the fortress, Miyuki trained for months with the dagger. But the more she trained, the more she realized the blade took hold of her mind, speaking words of unity and balance for the Freljord, and as it did, she felt her own will slipping from her grasp. She realized that if she was to resist being consumed by Kaatyo, she would need to earn its trust and use it for a noble cause. It was at that moment that Miyuki found herself before the doors of the Institute of War, her purpose as sharp and solid as her blade.

Insight

Miyuki is a midlane/support control mage who specializes in protecting her allies and zoning her enemies. Her abilities are oriented around the idea of a hit-and-run strategy, dealing a notable amount of damage with a minimal amount of backlash/consequences. Her passive is Freeze Forged, which slows enemies on-hit based on the number of stacks she has acquired. Midlane Miyukis can use the passive as a way to engage the enemy, or slow their combos, while support Miyukis can use their Q to proc the passive and gain their stacks from afar. Miyuki’s Q is Ice Blade, a point-and-click ability best used for either zoning an enemy, or marking them as a good target for your allies. The speed-field of the ability allows allies to follow up, while the passive link to Freeze-Forged allows Miyuki to gain bonus stacks on her passive while remaining at a safe distance. Her W is Winter Winds. The ability’s auto-cast feature allows Miyuki to safely protect her laner or herself from ganks, while the manual cast can be used for zoning enemies or keeping them exactly where you want them. Take note that the ability has various different CC effects depending on who/what the knocked back enemies hit, and that using these different effects can change the tide of a battle, from slowing small groups of enemies, to singling out vulnerable targets. Lastly, Miyuki’s ultimate ability R is Path of Northern Ice, which freezes an entire lane from each side’s respective Inhibitor Turrets. This ability is best used for setting up teamfights or helping allies to escape a danger zone. Note, however, that enemies in either of the two base areas will be completely unaffected, so use the ability only when you know the time is right. The high cooldown will punish you otherwise…

Some comments on the kit:

"Passive: Freeze-Forged Miyuki passively slows enemies she hits with her basic attacks by 3% for 1.5 seconds. If Miyuki takes damage, the passive is disabled for 5 seconds. If Miyuki kills or assists in the killing of a slowed target, the slow is increased by 1% permanently."

This passive is essentially Ashe's passive, except much weaker. I can't see a new champ having a duplicate passive. I would honestly swap it for something else that interacts with slows.

"Q: Ice Blade Miyuki flings her knife at a target, dealing 25/30/45/55/70 + (30% total Ability Power) and creating a field that follows the target around for 5 seconds that increases ally movement speed by 5%. Also applies Freeze-Forged when possible."

This skill is interesting. I don't think there's quite anything like this, a buff that follows enemies. Could lead to some interesting chases.

"W: Winter Winds Passive: Miyuki gains +5% movement speed for every ally Champion within 1000 units of her. If Miyuki drops below 30% of her total health, she automatically flings all enemy Champions within 1000 units of her 500 units away from her.

Active: Miyuki launches a gust of freezing wind in a cone in front of her, disabling this ability’s passive for the cooldown duration and knocking back enemies hit by 500 units. If an enemy unit hit by this ability hits another enemy unit, they are both slowed by 20% for 2 seconds. If a unit hit by this ability hits a wall or other impassable terrain, they are stunned for 1 second.

NO MANA COST"

This ability is where things get murky, and on the OP side. You have this character dealing in slows, but also dealing heavily in speed boosts. Almost every aspect of her kit does this, which can be a problem. Kiting exists, and enemies also need options to escape, even if slowed. Granting speed while inflicting slows can make her really oppressive and relentless in taking down fleeing enemies. It's not the most healthy thing for the game to be able to do that. While the knock back is unique, it again feeds into this unhealthy play style of speed/slow and denying escape while granting escape. She would be too safe if she can just on a whim blast everyone away when things go sour for her, especially if she can speed up and slow down enemies. It's a novel concept, but it can't operate with this kit. The active is also really strong and is too much like Janna and Bard, not to mention being free. It steps on too many toes. I would recommend scrapping this active and making it a smaller area version of the passive knock back. Something like it knocks away enemies within 500 units; also, give it a mana cost.

"E: Slicing Arc Miyuki dashes forwards in an arc, dealing 15/25/35/55/80 +(50% of total AP) +(5% of enemy Champion’s total Health) to all targets hit, and dealing an additional 10% of total AP to all slowed enemies she hits."

This kind of ability is a bit like LeBlanc W, except I believe it's capable of doing too much damage. Either have the boost to slowed targets or the %HP damage, but not both.

"R: Path of Northern Ice Miyuki selects one of the 3 lanes (top, mid, bot) and channels for 3 seconds before freezing it solid (from Inhibitor Turret to Inhibitor Turret). Enemy Champions on the ice lose 10% off their total movement speed, have a 20% chance of missing their basic attacks and abilities and take an additional 15% total damage from Miyuki. While on the ice, allied Champions gain 10% total movement speed, while Miyuki gains 20% of her total movement speed. Whenever Miyuki lands a basic attack on an enemy Champion while on the ice, she gains a burst of 10% movement speed. The ice lasts 7 seconds, even if Miyuki dies during this time.

Mana cost: 100/100/120 Mana. Cooldown: 130/120/100 seconds."

This spell is just utter broken. Completely modifying a lane into an ally speed and enemy slow zone offers way too much utility and can create so many unhealthy plays for the enemy. It either has to give one or the other, but not both. Even then, that much utility without even being near the team is too strong, so I would limit it to a zone, similar to what Trundle has.
