champion concept
Hello all, this is an updated concept i posted a few days ago(already deleted). The last one wasn't well thought out and the abilities were almost dumbed down copies of other champion abilities(i didn't realize at first but they were reading back over it). After thinking about it all day this is what ive come up with so enjoy. I'm calling her Alara for now(Pronounced like Uh-Lar-Uh)<--i find that cringe how i wrote that. I don't really know what to classify her as. I wanna say a melee fighter with some mobility and cc but the way her abilities work its almost like a mage. Inspiration of this concept came from Janemba from that one dbz movie (link) PLEASE watch the link so you understand how i am visualizing her abilities looking like which is the whole basis of the concept

well, here goes nothing enjoy(i hope) passive: Life or pain.... pain, Alaras abilities cost health to cast. Hitting champions with her abilities will refund some of the cost while killing a champion will refund the full cost of the spell that killed them. Additionally, Alara stores the pain of minions she kills. After a certain amount of "pain" is stored she can activate "**life" to slowly regen health to a cap.
** only in critical state. Critical state is a mechanic where her abilities no longer cost health but will have drawbacks as you will see.
before we continue i wanna kinda clarify how the animations would be ingame. when i write in "open a portal" i don't mean she actually opens a portal and then does her attack. i write that to kinda help people reading understand a little if they didn't watch the video but she would just do what janemba does. she just punches and they disappear
q: Pains Strength. Alara opens two portals infront of her punching through them. After a short delay they reappear at targeted area dealing slight damage to minions or enemies hit before they collide dealing more damage if caught in the middle. In critical state the ability does reduced damage. For this one i imagine the way she punches through the 2 portals would look like this almost https://goo.gl/images/eyWbLY i hope this helps you visualize how this works abit more. The other abilities i think are pretty self explanatory.
w: Pains Grasp. Alara opens a long portal infront of her a sweeps her hand though it. after a short delay her hand reappears and sweeps a targeted area. If she hits a champion she will grab them stunning them. she can recast the ability (only a small window to do so) to crush the enemy dealing damage and slowing them before letting go. In critical state stun duration is reduced and cant be recasted.
The first part where she stuns them does no damage, she only stuns them. also the recast doesn't cost as i figured the health cost would be more important to be on the stun as i was thinking the duration would be along the lines of 1-1.25-1.50-1.75-2 seconds as she ranks it up.
e: Pains Swiftness. Alara opens a portal and reaches through it grabbing herself. After a short delay she flings herself in a targeted direction gaining a burst of movespeed when she lands. In critical state the distance she can fling herself is reduced and she doesnt get the onus movespeed.
Ultimate: Pains Final Call. Alara uses all the power she can opening a portal as she slams her fist into it, appearing above targeted area smashing down dealing damage and slowing enemies hit. She can recast 2 extra times with the second time she uses her other fist doing the same damage but with a ruduced slow. The third time she will smash down with both fist doing increased damage with no slow and putting her in critical state regardless of how much hp she had. If Alara is in critical state the ability cant be casted, additionally she can not further cast the ability if the previous cast put her in critical state.
Her ultimate will only restore health if she kills a champion even if she hit them. well there it is, I hope you enjoyed it and please feel free to tear it apart, i can take it. I feel like i could explain some stuff better but I'm ass at writing so id rather just take my small win now and enjoy that. When i say tear it apart i don't mean just shit posting and saying "nah fuck that i don't like it so its trash" please provide constructive criticism. I had a little bit of lore written up but re-reading it i wasn't satisfied so i scraped it. Maybe ill add it later idk. I hope rioter sees this as I'm interested as to what they would think of it(but i doubt they will see it let alone like it) To kinda clarify how the abilities work(i guess this would be counted as lore as to how they work), when she punches through a portal her fist exits out the other portal with increased size, speed and power. Since alara is just a normal human with extremely powerful abilities. if you enjoyed this i would appreciate if you shared it around so more people could see it
and be global? how big would you make the aoe?
