I'm a bad writer, but I tried to write a little back story about her! Bear with me.

Ariadne was a master sorceress before she fell into the void. She was a Demacian magic teacher who was well known in the lands. But when the war came, her help was needed and she joined Demacia on the battlefield. In a long and slightly confusing fight, she ended up at the mouth of the void, against the blood brothers, who proceeded to push her into the void. She became crazy as the void consumed her yet augmented her magical powers, and she was able to break free and return to Runterra, now as an evil void sorcoress. WIth her new powers, she swore a vendetta upon all of those who don't use magic, and with her new powers she made sure to never let anyone take her down without magic again.

My thoughts on Ariadne as a champion:

So the way I designed her was not to be an AP mid, but to be a top, a support, or against an AD mid. She would not be able to survive in a solo lane against an AP mid, so she has to go anywhere else. She is a control mage with little mobility and high cc that can completely change the outcome of a fight. Her job is to dominate her lane against an AD champion and at the late game focus their marksman and make sure they either cannot deal any physical damage or their damage is cut in half. Although she seems a bit broken, she is incredibly squishy and she lacks burst. Her range is really short and the only way to get where she needs to be is to use her primary escape / strongest CC. In my opinion she'd make a great addition to the game. She would stop champions like Zed, Riven, Wukong, or that completely out of control marksman. @ricklessabandon @morello @RIOT what do you think?

I liked your concept.

-The passive should just be a flat value, not scaling with level as it's a % of AP and gives her tankiness.

  • A lot of AP casters start with roughly 40-50 AP at level 1. Means that she is doing ~110 magic damage at level 1 from 1000 range, and only 60 mana? Pretty ridiculous.
  • To take away from someone's total and bonus AD are totally different, and even then, the whole concept seems a bit odd. She essentially becomes the greatest anti-AD champion in the game.
  • The E also makes her a ridiculous threat to AD champions, and now anyone reliant on auto attacks can't do a thing.
  • Her ult is relatively annoying. Sure, it tethers, but it should take less time to detonate and it should NOT punish the player for leaving the tether range, as it escapes the whole possibility of counterplay.

There is a lot to clean up here. Her kit seems like it would be fun and unique, while at the same time extremely random and frustrating to gameplay balance as a whole.
