Weapons: Essence Gourds:

These gourds would be thrown in target location where the essence of the gourds would be released.

Maylin would be a primary AP jungler.

Quick Lore:

Maylin is the warden of the dreams, battling nightmares that come into the minds of those who sleep, transending their spirits into her world. Her main rival Nocturne had escaped her world, finding out he had fled to the mortal realm of Runeterra she herself transenced into the realm of mortals. She has one goal, to stop Nocturne and vanquish him back to the plane of dreams.

Passive: Spirits of the Dream

Maylin travels through the jungle absorbing the essence of the forest, gaining a small boost of speed. When she absorbs 3 essence her next ability cast is empowered

Q- Essence of Slumber

Maylin drops a gorud on the ground releasing the essence of the Slumber, dealing MAGIC damage in an area (looks like a Fan) until mana is depleted or cancelled. AOE Damage (Empowered Essence, targets are now blinded in the area for 3 seconds or until they move out of the area)

W - Sakayume

Maylin absorbs energy from her gourd and on next cast leaps to targeted area dealing aoe damage, attacking the nearest champion with MAGIC damage.(Empowered Essence, target is now stunned for 1 second)

E - Restful Guardian

Passive: Maylin gets X% of bonus armor and magic restistance that scales off her Ability Power

Active:(Empowered) The next single target ability cast on Maylin is refelected back to the target for 50% of the damage dealt.

R: Essence of the Warden

Maylin transforms into a Deity, Health Armor and Magic Restiances are increased by X Y Z % for 5 seconds. The next ability cast is Empowered.

I like the idea behind this character. I don't see the correlation with Syndra and Zed as enemies, but Nocturne makes a ton of sense. I'd love to see some expanded lore behind this (a lot of possibility is open since Nocturne doesn't have any lore from his time in the Plane of Dreams).

A bit of feedback:

Passive - A bit too restricted. Consider expanding the spawn from just minion camps to the entire jungle. Perhaps also add a small movement speed boost when she collects one?

Q - I'd reconsider the name. When people think of a Succubus.. they think of something like an Ahri charm, or sexual appeal toward an ability. The ability definitely doesn't bring anything Succubus related to mind.

W - I like it, but consider making it a small AoE on landing, and a stun for the targets in a smaller radius.

E - The active reflects a bit too much damage, and limits it to a single target ability. Perhaps make it so she takes some reduced damage from the next ability that hits her?

R - Her ultimate is a fun concept, nothing i'd fix there.

Edit: Also consider changing her place of origin. She can't originate from Ionia and from the Plane of Dreams.

Everything i think was said above, just one thought - her ap ratios shouldn't be too high considering she get's armor and mr from it, balance would be a key here.

Much like the others said, I have, sadly, no other feedback. I'd love to see numbers to know what we're working with, before I give truer feedback.

Speaking about likable ideas, care to help with a champion of mine? It's review for review... sorta.

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/KIAgk6Et-20-old-champions There's a bunch, and they're like 3-4 years outdated. Care to help me with that?

It seems dream related champions are all the rage right now ;) I posted mine last week haha same general idea! Check her out I really like yours another transforming concept is cool. her passive. is it like bards? does she gatehr via chimeish stuff? or does she gather just by being in the jungle? do the empowered attacks stack?

Anyways heres my champ concept hope you like it: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/AtbaUWoW-renn-the-dreamweaver?show=flat&page=2

One thing that I don't understand is the passive. It says "Travel in the Jungle."

That's great for SR, but a passive that sounds entirely useless in any other map type...

I really enjoy the idea of this champ and she sounds like she'd be really fun to play. Good job!
