Lore: This big boi is technically the first TERRESTRIAL dragon in runeterria, which cuts aurelion sol out considering he has been around the the birth of creation, so technically he is an aspect that takes the form of a dragon. Anyway, Kiragon was said to be a walking mountainous drake that is actually the drake's homes, so all the infernal, mountain, cloud and etc drakes make home on this thing. Considering its the first dragon on runeterra, its pretty much shyv's great... great... great... great... how many greats it takes for that, grandfather. In fact, he is every dragon's great grandfather apparantly. Anyway, the drake disappeared for millenia, but now he is making a rise again, to protect runeterra against an unseen threat below the surface.

Now for his kit... I decided to make him somewhat of a ranged tank, he does decent considerable damage for a tank, while having some heavy cc if enemies take him lightly. However, he has only one attack that deal massive damage, that being his ultimate which is basically bahamut's megaflare from final fantasy, which may sound a little too strong in damage for a tank, but it takes 5 seconds to charge up, and enemies can see the mark on the ground for 2.5 seconds before it strikes so usually immobile champions (such as tanks) will suffer the wrath of Kiragon.

P - Dragon God's Might: 1: having Kiragon on your team grants a new items in the stop for his team to use, the Dragonstone. The dragonstone is a consumable item that upon use, activates a shockwave around the user, knocking enemies up while dealing damage scaling with the user's own. The dragonstone costs 750 Gold. After using the dragonstone, the ground around where it was casted is shattered, so if another dragonstone's range overlaps it, it slows the enemies hit instead but also dealing less damage. 2: Kiragon's body evolves the more he takes damage. He has no mana costs, instead, he has a meter that is called "Dragon's Wrath." Damage dealt or taken is contributed to the meter which he evolves his abilities the more he fights, the evolutions are shown here. 2500 damage: Q upgrade 5000 damage: W upgrade 7500 damage: E upgrade 10000: Ult upgrade

Q - Draconic Roar While holding down the key, Kiragon reduces his movement speed by 30%, while roaring with such power it destroys all in its path. While holding down the key Kiragon can slowly aim to another direction to deliver the attack to, however can use the attack up to only 4.5 seconds. The roar can destroy champion created terrain. Enemies in the range of the roar will take damage continuously, while being slowled and slightly pushed back away from Kiragon. The roar cannot go over walls, because the wall is already taking the impact of the sonic wave Upgraded: Kiragon's roar can be aimed faster and deals more damage.

W - Wings of Hurricanes Kiragon beats his wings in a straight direction, enemies around him and in front of him will be pushed back and slowed, but deals no damage. If recasted within 2.5 seconds, Kiragon flies up in the air and crashes down onto a target location, knocking up enemies caught in the crater of him landing. He can cast this across walls. Upgraded: The initial cast sends waves of fire across the ground from the wings in a straight line, damaging opponents while causing damage over time worth 3-8% of their max health (scaling by ability level)

E - Desolation Kiragon slams his claws into the ground, making an earthquake in a wide area to run across the ground, cracking it. Enemies who walk across this area are grounded and slowed by 60%, and can occur even against effects the negative this slow status, such as banshee's or yi's ult. Upgraded: Kiragon's he now knocks up enemies in the range closest to him on the initial attack for 1 second while dealing damage.

R - Earthshatter Kiragon aims at a target area far from him, which reaches across half of the entire map for full length, and charges up for 5 seconds. Cannot re-aim after target area is set. Is unstoppable during this duration, the only way to prevent him from using this attack is by killing him. Kiragon cannot perform any action while charging up. After charging up, Kiragon fires a destructive pulse of energy at the target location, making a destructive explosion, massively damaging and knocking up enemies for 2.5 to .5 seconds, depending on if they are closer to the center of the attack or in the outermost range. The target mark of the attack is only shown to allies for the for the first 2.5 seconds, afterwards the enemies can see what's coming right for them. (A cool effect that I would like to add with this is when the attack is ready to fire, the enemy team player's border of their screen will be brighter on a specific angle where the attack is coming from, as if a sun was going to crash into you)

Most of this looks fairly solid but I'm not too fond of either passive. The first one gives any champion access to difficult to avoid hard cc while also being really expensive and requiring an empty item slot. In any situation where it's worthwhile for your teammate to use it, it would feel awful to play against. The second one just feels like free ability upgrades that just happen as you play the game. If the ability upgrades are the sort of thing that would be unhealthy for him to have early game then there are probably clearer and more consistent ways for him to unlock them and if not then this feels unnecessary.

Here's a set of revisions designed to keep the general feel and abilities and hopefully double down on the weight and presence that his theme entails.

Passive: Dragon's Wrath: Builds up stacks of Dragon's Wrath as he takes damage (based on % of max health taken as damage) and displaces or stuns enemy champions. Dragon's Wrath decays while out of combat.

Frightful Presence: While channeling abilities, Kiragon slows enemies within a certain radius with the slow stacking over time up to 50% or so, persisting briefly, and stunning enemies who remain for too long for one second or so. Stunned enemies cannot be stunned again for around 10 seconds. Also slows attack speed to help him tank.

Depending on how far you want to go, either Kiragon would be unstoppable while channeling or he'd resist silences while channeling and turn any hard cc into 50% slows for twice the duration (minimum 1 second or so). The reason for this is to make him a consistent presence in a fight whom you can slow down but can't stop.

Q: Changes from a roar to a breath of fire. Immobile while channeling but enemies in the area receive frightful presence even if outside the normal area. No longer destroys terrain since with his kit he wants chokepoints to exist, if you want to keep that then I'd put it on w. Damage increases by up to 50% scaling with Dragon's Wrath. Cooldown decreased by displacing or stunning champions. This is his bread and butter damage and zone control tool.

W: Wingbeats during initial cast are gone, as is fire. Can move at a reduced pace while channeling. Enemies that Kiragon passes nearby or lands on during flight receive the % max health burn. The burn is refreshed as long as the enemies are within range of Frightful Presence. Enemies struck directly are displaces slightly towards the direction he came from. Moved the fire to the landing for a more explosive entrance. Displaces enemies behind him to clump them up for q or e.

E: Reworked. Kiragon channels up to 3 seconds, beating his wings over the duration. Every .75 seconds, enemies within the area are lightly damaged, grounded for .6 seconds, and pushed a short distance around him to cluster enemies affected along a line in front of him. At the end of the channel, Kiragon strikes in front of him with his claws damaging, pulling, and grounding for 1-1.5 seconds all enemies in a cone in front of him. Kiragon heals for each champion or large monster hit by the final attack. The final attack's damage is increased by up to 50% scaling with Dragon's Wrath. This is where the wingbeats from his w went. I moved them here so he can use his w to position himself in order to use this optimally. This also gives him some form of sustain in fights.

R: Takes reduced damage while channeling if the target point i nearby him. Deals up to 30% more damage scaling with Dragon's Wrath. Damage from this ability ignores 40% of targets' bonus magic resist. Max knockup duration down to 1.5 seconds since 2.5 seconds is a lot. Mostly unchanged since even if it's kind of a weird out for a tank it's still really cool thematically. Made some changes to make it work better in teamfights and work with the new Dragon's Wrath system. The reason it doesn't scale as much with Dragon's Wrath and has innate mpen is that it should be insanely scary regardless of who you are and whether he's currently in a fight.
