First off, I am not an artist by any means, so this is just a really rough sketch of what this champ looks like and would most definitely require a real graphic artist to refine.

Ellet is a being that wanders the forests of Runeterra. He was a Yordle mage once, dedicating his life to studying how nature works, and the forces that ebb and flow throughout Runeterra. Long ago, Ellet left Bandle City to find out if he could control the natural forces in the nearby forests, and was never seen again. Search parties went far and wide, and had no luck in finding Ellet, only ever locating his red wizard robes and a piece of paper with the words " I see the roots of the world.. the power it holds.. " Through a mysterious process, Ellet became one with the natural energies of the forest, using it's power to patrol the forest and protect it from harm, and through this, he is called to the League of Legends, to protect the will of nature.

Honestly I kinda like the champion. You're right, people can be jerks around here. There are a few things that could be tweeked, but overall it looks pretty good.

People probably didn't like the permanent armor and magic resist increases. Those are okay with individual abilities, but people are a bit more wary of passives that do that. I think you could improve that by saying something like "If Ellet deals the final blow on an enemy champion, he gains +2 armor and magic resist; if Ellet gets the kill on an enemy, he gains +2 armor and magic resist; he can get both increases if he does both".

I'm not good with the numbers on these things, but on Sprite Cannon I think it could be lowered to a starting magic damage of 40-60, and maybe increasing by only 20-30 per upgrade, rather than 40, and closer to 30-50% AP, rather than 65%, anything above 50% on these concepts gets people worried. I've seen as much as 240% or something on Nunu, but for concepts it's safer to keep it small, much nicer to be told that you should make your champ stronger than that you made him too strong.

Another thing that probably disappointed people was that New Growth created a bush but it didn't work like regular bushes and stealth people. I'm still okay with the stat increases, but it would be a lot more interesting to see the plays people can make when they put a bush somewhere where a bush shouldn't be.

Yet another one of the semi-let-downs was that an ability called "Phase Through" didn't let them phase through objects. An improvement on the ability could be that for a certain amount of time (maybe 3/4/5 seconds) Ellet ignores unit collision and moves through walls, but has his speed reduced (maybe 25-35%). The AP increase is fine.

Can't think of anything for the R, just know people who hate on it will probably refer to Annie and Tibbers and say it's not creative enough. Maybe you could make it a bit more unique by saying that every so often the Tree Wraith will create a patch of flowers where it's standing, and allies that step on these flowers are healed by a certain % of their max or missing health (scaling with upgrades).

Overall looks pretty good. People probably just docked you because it wasn't original or mind-blowingly new enough for their elitist tastes or the art wasn't a Michaelangelo-level masterpiece. Don't take it too seriously if you go down a few points.

Someone down-votes my design but doesn't say anything about why? This is why the LoL community is the worst..
