Early draft only bare bones just now

Role: Fighter, marksman, melee(ish)

basic attack range: 150

Passive: Spirit Reach

Basic attacks give her a stack of Spirit Reach that increase her attack range by 50 and cause her attacks to steal 0,5% of the targets maximum health, stacking 8 times. A stack fall off every 2 seconds of not attacking.

When she have at least one stack her basic attack start to throw a white spirit fist

Q: Hydra Strike

Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 mana Cooldown: 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 seconds Range: Basic attack range (increased by Spirit Reach)

Lan strikes three times in quick succession in a straight line, each hit dealing 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90 (+40% AD) phsyical damage and applying on hit effects to the first target struck. The last hit also root the target for 1,5 second, if it was struck by all three hits it stuns instead.

During Thousand Fist Stance she preforms the attack in 8 directions.

W: Blocking Stance

Cost: 50 mana Cooldown: 21 / 18 / 15 / 12 / 9 seconds

Enters a blocking stance for 2 seconds, causing her to block all incoming basic attacks and reduce damage taken from other effects by 25% for the duration but stops her from attacking. Every attack blocked grant her a stack of Spirit Reach and restore 25 mana. Can reactivate the spell to cancel the effect early.

During Thousand Fist Stance she can continue to attack through the effect.

E: Graceful Assault

Cost: 60 mana Cooldown: 14 / 12 / 10 / 8 / 6 seconds Range: 400

Lan gracefully dashed in targeted direction and empower her next basic attack, causing it reduce the targets armor by 10 / 12,5 / 15 / 17,5 / 20% and slow them by 40% for 2 seconds. The attack also gains 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% additional life steal.

During Thousand Fist Stance all hits gain the additional effect.

Ultimate: Thousand Fist Stance

Cost: 100 mana Cooldown: 120 / 100 / 80 seconds

Passive: Lan gains 5 / 6,5 / 8% bonus attack speed for every stack of Spirit Reach.

Lan channels for 0,75 seconds to enter the Thousand Fist Stance for 5 / 6 / 7 seconds and instantly gain 8 stacks of Spirit Reach. During this time Lan's basic attacks hit all enemies in range and her abilities gain extra effects.

P: by itself not bad, ill make a comment in the ult regarding potential falloff changes

q: damage skill+ cc with counterplay opportunities, good all around

w: good defence potential vs adcs and melee, effective to prevent last hit death during non ult and great for dueling during ult

e: very similar to vayne skill but damage amp is more indirect + lifesteal, good

r: the damage amp skill, good for an adc in general, now more specifically:

  • in relation to the passive this might be too much, at max rank youre looking at an instant attack speed buff of 64%, im worried that this would allow her to build so much dmg while not caring about attack speed and make her op, it might need to be toned down a bit and/or the loss of stacks when not attacking might have to be sped up

  • in relation to q this gives her a guaranteed aoe root and a potential aoe stun which may be op considering her damage

  • in relation to her w, i think this buff really fits well and makes sense

  • in relation to her e, when you say all hits gain the additional effect do you mean just the life steal or the armor reduction+slow too?

  • this ult basically makes her an aoe champ with the burst of a marksman. To fix that the damage to targets that shes not rightclicking might have to be tuned down. I think that the ult should refresh all of her cooldowns upon activation and also she should be able to cast her abilities without interrupting her auto attacking, this would preserve her dueling potential and her aoe without giving her the ability to effectively duel 5 people at once.

overall very interesting concept, she'd likely be classes as a ranged champion when it comes to melee only weapons. She reminds me a lot of vayne but with a bit less damage and a lot more aoe
