Asaya, the Lamplighter
(Work in progress, just wanted some feedback) (Also, first time posting a champion concept!)
EDIT: Second draft is up!
#Asaya, the Lamplighter Away from bountiful and developed Southern Ionia, Northern Ionia is home to wild creatures and ancient temples, untouched by the outside world. Many of these temples are lost to time, but some are still guarded by small groups of unwavering followers. One such temple guardian is Asaya, a Cinder Guard, carrying a cinder of the Heartfire and enchanted stone javelins to protect the Wanhuo Temple and the Heartfire within it.
Wanhuo temple is built deep inside a cave, where the Heartfire, an artifact that grants its wielder power over all aspects of fire, far beyond its simple destructive powers. The gentle warmth of fire can heal even the gravest of injuries, and the radiance can cleanse others of illness or curses. On the other hand, the unquenchable hunger of the very same fire can destroy anything in its all-consuming path. To protect the world from anyone releasing the full fury of fire, Cinder Guards use the power of Heartfire to protect it from the outside world. Every Cinder Guard carries a cinder, an enchanted piece of stone that carries the flame of the Heartfire. The cinder shares the power of the Heartfire, but not many can use the power fully, including most Cinder Guards, who can only use one aspect of the power. Asaya could use the Heartfire's power completely, although her powers are still weak.
The leader of the Cinder Guard noticed her talent, and named her the next leader of the Cinder Guard, should he become unfit to lead the Cinder Guards. Asaya now prepares herself to become the next leader of the Cinder Guard, as the Lamplighter.
(lore still WIP, but most likely no major changes will happen, just some additions)
Passive: Lamplighter When one of her basic abilities hit a lamp, all lamps Erupt after a short delay (~200 radius), casting an empowered version of her spells in an area of effect around them. After the lamps Erupt, the lamps stay Alight for 2 seconds, leaving a persistent area of effect (~400 radius). While a lamp is alight, Asaya's other abilities cannot affect the lamps (can't be lit up by her flames, or be picked up). The effect from multiple lamps do not stack.
Q: Scorching Flames Asaya burns an area with hot fire in front of her in a cone, dealing damage to enemies and slowing them. If Scorching Flames hit a lamp, all lamps erupt, knocking back enemies while dealing damage. The lamps then stay **alight ** and scorches the ground, dealing persistent damage and slowing enemy caught in the area of effect.
W: Rallying Flames Asaya conjures up emboldening wave of fire in front of her in a cone, granting a decaying movement speed. If Rallying Flames hit a lamp, all lamps erupt, cleansing all slows from allies in the area of effect. The lamps then stay **alight ** and grants movement speed to allies that starts to decay upon leaving the area of effect or until the lamps are no longer **alight ** with Rallying Flames.
E: Protecting Flames Asaya manipulates fire to surround allies in front of her in a cone, granting a small shield. If Protecting Flames hit a lamp, all lamps erupt, healing allies. The lamps then stay alight and grant a small shield every second, which decays upon leaving the area of effect or until the lamps are no longer **alight ** with Protecting Flames.
R: Light the Path Asaya throws her enchanted javelin to a target location, which becomes a Lamp and becomes alight with Light the Path, granting vision near the Lamp.
Passive: Asaya starts with 1 point in Light the Path. When Asaya walks over a lamp, she picks it up, gaining a charge of Light the Path and 20% bonus movement speed for 1 second. She can have up to 2/3/4/5 lamps out at the same time. When a Lamp is too far away, it will disappear. Asaya cannot regenerate a charge when maximum amount of Lamps are already out. Asaya gains a charge of Light the Path every time she gains a rank in Light the Path.
Active: Throws a javelin towards a target location, granting vision around the target area and placing a Lamp.
In game, Asaya is a enchanter/controller hybrid who can place and move Lamps to empower and extend her abilities. By carefully placing the lamps, Asaya can create multiple zones that allies can be safe around, and enemies must be careful. This allows Asaya to add her teammates even when she is dangerously low in health by staying back near a lamp and casting abilities from afar. However, because her basic spells are very weak without her Lamps. This means she cannot be very effective in a moving teamfight, where she must pick up and place lamps again. Furthermore, her spells does not affect Asaya unless she is near a lamp, making her very vulnerable if caught out of position away from her lamps or allies.
Because her lamps remain alight after Asaya casts her spells, using all her abilities at once make her utility very low. However, by placing lamps to cover a large area of the map and using the correct ability at the right timing, Asaya can control the entire battlefields.
