Argos, the Rune Mage

"Some champions have worked hard to gain abilities through intense training. Some champions have been gifted by mutations, curses, or other chance means of empowerment. Then there is Argos, the champion who has crafted his own means of power."

Passive: Gain AP equal to 50% of your armor.

Q: Fire a quick blast along a line hitting all enemies for moderate damage. Slows all enemies hit.

W: First cast: Pull nearby enemies in towards yourself. Second cast: Pulse around yourself, knocking enemies away from you and slowing them, dealing low damage. Gain armor for a duration.

E: Push a single target a moderate distance away from you. Deals moderate damage.

R: Remove all debuffs including silence. For 3 seconds you may cast again to shock all enemies in a large cone. Enemies take high damage and are stunned briefly and slowed for a moderate length.

Argos has the appearance of a stout old man. At level 1 he is very lightly armored with runic tattoos and a large iron staff. The staff would be bulky with a broad head on it similar to a warhammer. He is a melee mage.

As Argos levels his armor improves. The armor has runes inscribed upon it. Depending on which ability he levels a different piece of armor will both grow and gain a rune. Q: gauntlets. W: chestpiece. E: legs. R: Helmet.

Argos would have decent damage but would not be as bursty as some of the main AP mids. He would be a fierce control mage fighter with natural tankiness.

Counters would be Ahri, Fizz, Orianna.

He would counter Zed, Talon, Yasuo.

He would be a top or mid champion.

Not that I don't believe you or anything, just how does he counter/get countered by those champs?

Overall seems legit, I like the leveling stuff
