Wayne The Gifted Master

Wayne is a unique champion who is able to switch his fighting style by combining or taking apart his whips. Wayne has become very skilled with his whips and uses them to slay anyone who gets in his way. He is also unique in the fact that uses the will to fight and cast his abilities.

Lore: Exploring in the depths of Kumungu stood as young man, stranded and lost, Wayne, traveled through the jungle until he found a small pond. Wayne started to drink from the pond until he heard a noise. He quickly turned around and grasped his whips. From behind the bushes a cougar appeared. Walking up to him slowly he stood fierce and showed no fear. The cougar transformed and there stood Nidalee. She began to tell him that the pond he was drinking from was enchanted and grants magical powers to people who drink the water. Wayne talked to Nidalee more to figure out how he could get home, and she led him on his way out of the jungle. Wayne did not discover what the water granted him with until he was ambushed by a group of Noxian thugs. He grasped his whips and fought off the men at first but then they were too much for him. As a last resort Wayne hooked the top of one of his whips to the bottom of the other and fought off the thugs. The magic from the water made him able to keep the whips combined to use as one long whip and fight. Wayne learned how to master fighting with his whips and has an answer for anything that comes his way.

First off, not another mana-less champion... Scaling it off of damage taken/given, kind of hard to balance that.

Passive: Vayne's Night Hunter (but always active), alternating with a range/AD buff. First half has got to be nerfed. Second doesn't sound very useful, at 250 range you still get outmatched by every other ranged champion and the benefit over being straight melee isn't substantially better.

Q: Duo sounds right for an ADC, not a fighter/assassin. I wouldn't recommend putting the dash on Q. W or E, maybe. Mono sounds like Braum's ult, can't really judge either without knowing the range of the attack.

W: Duo, 100% AP scaling? That's not a good idea IMO. Mono, that kind of leash/pull is usually seen on supports for a reason; as ADC the last thing you want to do is draw an enemy in, and a bruiser/assassin that can reel people in is a bad idea. Unless you're Thresh, in which case it's ok for some reason.

E: Duo, again the AP scaling is pretty high. It's an AoE attack, after all. Mono... no. Just no. All this guy has to do is buy item 3156 and it gets ridiculous. Unless you're Zed, in which case it's ok for some reason.

R: Only thought here is that we could use some clarification on whether he starts out with a rank in this like Nid and can level it three additional times, or is he limited to Duo mode until level 6?

Numbers... 450 base HP and 1.3 regen, he's never going to make it to level 3 in lane without dying. Multiply regen by 5 and that'll be a bit more reasonable, though the low health on a (TBH) melee champion is worrisome. For Will regen, is that every time he is struck or by a certain amount of damage taken? Because if this guy is recharging 20 Will on each hit, that's absurd; he'd be able to fully recharge from every ability he has in the time it takes the average mana user to regen ONE spell's worth. Base movement 320 on a champ with (according to the wiki) the new lowest lvl 1 base HP in the game is asking for feeding. Couple that with no real range to speak of besides one ability... this guy can jungle, that's about it.

So you want to combine everyone's two least favorite things about about league champs? 6 skills again (seven-ish) and mana less (resource less honestly)

I would say that a good start would be to define the champion. Not the whip/adventurer lore thing, that TBH is not that important to champion identity. Instead try to define how you want his presence on the battlefield to be. RIght now, you have really short cooldowns; one idea would be to reduce the damages slightly, make most if not all deal physical damage, and build him as an AD PBAoE bruiser.

For Q, an easy balance would be to give Mono a "charge-up" time, maybe an animation of him rearing back to do a power lash.
