Arora (Placeholder name, aiming for a Palindrome)- The Cosmic Scales

  1. Passive- Tipping Scales: Using an ability on an ally will push a positive charge onto the secondary bar, while using an ability on an enemy will push a negative charge onto the secondary bar, provided no charges of an opposite nature already exist on the bar (bar cannot hold both positive and negative charges at the same time). All charges are expended upon using an ability of the opposite nature as those stored (ex: Have ten "Positive" charges, use a "Negative" ability, all "Positive" charges are wiped from the secondary bar and no new charges are placed on the bar). All charges are lost on death. Limit 30 charges of a given type at a time.
  2. Q- Solstice: Cast on Ally Champion or Self- +1 Positive charge OR consume all Negative charges; Target gains +5(+1 per Negative charge consumed, Max: 35)% movement speed boost Used as skillshot- +1 Negative charge OR consume all Positive charges; First enemy Champion hit sustains 5(+1 per Positive charge consumed, Max: 35)% movement speed reduction and 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+ 80% AP) magic damage. Will pass through minions/neutral monsters. Effect Duration: 3/3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds | Cooldown: 12 seconds | Range 900 | Projectile Speed: 1200
  3. W- Life Stream: Cast on Ally Champion- +1 Positive charge OR consume all Negative charges; Target is healed for 100/135/150/165/180(+10[+1 per Negative charge consumed]% AP, Max: 40% AP) Cast on Enemy Unit/Neutral Monster- +1 Negative charge OR consume all Positive charges; Target sustains 80/120/160/200/240(+60[+1 per Positive charge consumed]% AP, Max: 90% AP) magic damage and heals self for 10/20/30/40/50(+20[+1 per Positive charge consumed]% AP, Max: 50% AP) Cannot be cast on self; cannot be cast on ally Champion if Arora is at or below 10% health Cooldown: 10/8.5/7/5.5/4 seconds | Range: 600
  4. E- Judgement: Cast on Ally Champion- +1 Positive charge OR consume all Negative charges; Target has all negative status effects nullified, including those induced as side-effects of their own passive or abilities Cast on self- +1 Negative charge OR consume all Positive charges; Any enemy within the target radius surrounding Arora has their positive status effects nullified, including those granted by their own passive or abilities after a 1 second charge-up Cooldown: 45/42.5/40/37.5/35 (-1 per Positive or Negative charge consumed) seconds | Range (When cast on Ally Champion): 400/450/500/550/600 | Radius (When cast on self): 500
  5. R- Karmic Stagnation: When activated, the secondary bar and any charges accumulated are frozen. Upon activating an ability that would either grant another charge or consume all charges that have been accumulated, the bar will neither grow nor shrink. Abilities of an opposite charge that would have their effects bolstered by the consumed opposite charges (ex: Using Life Stream on an enemy while at 15 Positive charges) will maintain the bonus effects as if the charges had still been consumed (ex: Life Stream still gains +15% AP power increase and +15% AP self-heal). Upon the end of the ability's duration, all charges are consumed and the secondary bar resets to 0. Effect Duration: 4/5/6 | Cooldown: 160/130/100

So, these are Arora's abilities! As you can read, she makes use of a unique secondary bar that will fill either to the left (Negative charges) with black, or to the right (Positive charges) with white, originating from the center of the bar, where a small golden dish represents the split. Arora players will also be given an exact total of how many charges they currently hold in the form of a passive indicator that allies and enemies can also view while looking at Arora's stats. Arora is a cosmic being that is technically genderless, thought people in legend have referred to Arora using "she/her/hers/herself" as she is more feminine in appearance. She, like Bard, is concerned with maintaining the natural order, and her abilities reflect this with self-balancing effects (using her spells positively to help her teammates eventually needs to have an opposite, equal effect). She holds a pair of scales in her left hand that will tilt slightly as she gains more charges, and she casts her spells and auto-attacks from these scales. She speaks in whispers as well as the sound of rain, thunder, wind, and bird calls, the latter sounds coming from her spells and upon taking damage or dying. She has a yin-yang motif, half her face is white with radiating lines depicting the light of the sun, while the other half is black and crescent shaped to represent the moon. She wears a cloak on her back that ripples in the wind as she walks, and she is thin, like Soraka. She moves fairly slowly, starting with about 310 Movement Speed, but her spell range and the stacking effects make her potent at any range.

So yeah, first time posting to these boards in ever. Let me know what you guys think, and any constructive criticism!!

I like the mechanics of it, but I feel like it needs to be rewarded more for actually keeping the balance of things. Spam a move of one type to obliterate the enemy by the "recoil" structure using the opposing effect, or via the same method bolster an ally to invincibility. If using moves that gained more positive charge costed more mana or something, or moves that veer too far to one side after a particular point are reduced/hindered in some way, then I think everything would mesh quite nicely.

So for every 5 stacks of one type, the mana cost of that type is increased by 10%...or 3% per stack. However, as the stacks are lost, the move that consumed them, or would consume them, becomes cheaper. So...30 stacks of positive doubles the cost of positive...however...it would allow Negative to be cost-free.

"Man, I can't heal my ally because I've been spamming the heal. I suppose it's time to get in there and do some damage to...(>_>)...'Maintain the Balance'..."
