Ick'tus, Hivelord of the Void (BEES?!?!)

Role: Tank (Initiator/Split-Pusher) Ick'tus - Hivelord of the Void

Passive: Upon killing an enemy unit, spawn a voidling which has 75(1)/100(6)/150(11)/200(16) (+8% Max HP). Voidlings attack the closest target dealing (10/20/30/40) physical per hit, but lose health over time and explode upon death, dealing 25% of their maximum hit points (+.5 AP) to nearby enemy units and structures. This effect is deactivated if killed by an enemy champion. Ick'tus spawns a voidling at her location every 10 seconds (reduced by CDR).

Q: Adhesive Ichor (10/8/7/6/5 CD, 80/70/50/50/50 Mana): Target Voidling erupts, dealing (passive damage) + (.25 AP) and creating an area lasting 1.5 seconds which slows by (20/30/40/40/40)%. Units that stay within Adhesive Ichor are rooted for an additional (1/1.5/2/2/2) seconds.

W: Enthralling Pheromones (15/14/13/12/11 CD, 90/80/60/60/60 Mana): Ick'tus unleashes a wave of chemicals. The first unit hit garners the attention of all summoned voidlings, causing them to attack. Voidlings gain (10/12/13/15/15)% movement speed when moving toward the marked target.

E: Aerial Descent (8/6/6/5/4 CD, 50/50/50/50/50 Mana): Ick'tus takes to the sky before launching herself at target area, slowing all caught within the impact by (20/30/45/50/60%) for 1 second and knocking up those within the area's center, dealing 80/90/100/110/120 + (.25 AP) (8% Max HP).

R: Will of the Queen (80/70/60 CD, 100 all ranks Mana): After a brief channel, Ick'tus darts toward target enemy champion, charming them for 3 seconds, causing them to chase her for the duration. During this time, the enemy champion cannot attack; however, their movement speed is set to match Ick'tus'. If Aerial Descent is cast within the charm's duration, the enemy champion is also dragged with her and placed at the impact's center.

This is my first time creating a champion concept, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I imagined her, essentially, as a giant bee, which plays off Riots imagery of fish/insects for void creatures.

You have a few typos here and there, but the main thing is the passive. 50% of your AP is a lot for a champion with other AP scaling. And in general. This would become what AD Malzahar can be and just chunk people with 400 damage if full ap. Especially when you can spawn 6 or 7 each wave so that's 2400-2800 damage.

Either that or a simple ratio nerf would be fine. Just be careful in the future when experimenting with %max health damage. We don't need another Gnar.

You know what, there aren't near enough "male" swarm-characters out there. Yes yes, males only exist to live and die for communal insects. But look at Ah Muzen Cab of Smite or the Collectors of Mass Effect. Hell, I even remember the cartoon Chaotic, wherein the communal insect race had noteworthy male members. They stuck out in my mind that much.

Riot wants to make unique characters, yes? The "father/caretaker" of a swarm strikes me as more interesting than the typical "mother of the swarm".

You had me at bees, friend. Overall, this looks like a pretty interesting kit; she has shadows of Malz's kit with the voidlings, but comes off unique regardless.

Exterminator Singed skin approves.

Aside from the obvious thing, which is BEEEEES, this seems like a neat idea. Considering voidlings are always on about consuming things, having a hive of these suckers fits in rather nicely in-universe. With this kit, she seems like she could be an interesting AP duelist assassin, able to kind of detain and dispose of damage dealers or tanks during a fight with that charm, her chemicals and the dive, but that's just my view. (referring to it as a her because, you know, bees, queen bee, blah blah) And to be clear, for Adhesive Ichor, you would target a voidling attacking an enemy causing it to explode and slow/root enemies caught in the resulting goo? That's a rather obvious combo with the W, but if you're going for a true tank thing I suppose those voidlings....wow, this could be an annoying champion. XD Probably easily beaten by Sejuani with the AoE DPS, but interesting all the same.
