Found this laying in my Google Drive from back in December 30th 2014 :)

"Thin built female glass cannon, melee and fast paced. Uses a thin sword that is always unsheathed, has a relationship that isn't defined with Yasuo. Ult teleports behind enemy champion and knocks back at the position where you were, any enemy champions that contact the knocked back target are knocked up for a short term duration. This champion will work well with champions such as Lee Sin and Yasuo. This champion is lifesteal orientated such as Fiora but has no dashes or escapes."

Q - Whirlwind (Active) 70 /90/110/130 mp Let's out a small whirlwind, champions that are hit are slowed by 30%/35%/45%/50% for 1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds dealing 50/100/150/200 base damage and 10%/15%/20%/25% AD CD: 8/6/5/4

W - Soul Purge (Active) No Cost Sacrifices half of current HP to gain 25%/30%/35%/40% lifesteal. Lasts 8 seconds. CD: 15/13/11/9

E - Mana Well (Active) 50/80/110/140 MP Channels HP into mana for 5 seconds. 20% to 5%/25% to 15%/ 30% to 25%/ 35% to 35%. HP to MP CD: 18/15/12/9

R - Repent (Active) 100/120/140 MP Teleports behind a champion and knocks them back to the position where you were. Enemy champions that come into contact with the target are knocked up for a short duration of time. 400/450/500 Units 200/300/400 Base Damage 15%/25%/35% AD CD: 150/130/110/90

Passive - Phase Champion gains movement speed 5% for every visible champion.

Champions focus will be on building lifesteal and quickly pinning down key targets. Using her ult she can easily catch out and punish the target. Mystique can make numerous plays and make game changing team fights occur.

Mystique will have great synergy with champions that can utilize her ult.

To counter Mystique you would need to shut her down before she builds attack speed and lifesteal. Thornmail and other defensive items would be very effective against her. She is vulnerable if she all-ins due to her lack of escapes.

As a quick tip, if you don't know the numbers, leave them off. You can get a concept across without numbers just fine (look at the champion reveals Riot does), but bad numbers will betray you every time by showing you're out of touch with what's balanced.

Case in point: all your skills have 4 levels instead of 5 for the basics and 3 for the ult. I can't tell if you're actually passionate about this, or posting just for the heck of it, because it's such a large mistake that I can't imagine you'd make it casually. If you left the numbers out, no one would know.

As to the kit itself, it's suicidal. Two abilities rip through your HP, Whirlwind doesn't seem to be ranged, and your ult swaps places with a target, stranding you in the middle of the enemy team. You have no escape, no way to survive the laning phase, very limited damage from your abilities due to a lack of damage steroids or decent bases...The list goes on. You don't even have to try to counter Mystique - nearly everyone she should be fighting in top lane, by virtue of having more than one damaging ability, can easily outtrade her.

This doesn't even go into the inability to imagine Mystique due to a lack of lore or even a token paragraph describing how she looks beyond a thin sword wielder. You could still sell people on the champion if the concept is cool enough, but there's nothing to root for here.

When you're making a champion, you want to consider, all throughout your process, "Why would I pick this champion?", "What does this champion need to function as intended?", and "Is this champion fun to play and not overbearing to fight against?". If you can keep these questions in mind and have a solid answer for them that can't be casually refuted, you're probably set. Currently, the only reason to pick Mystique is to troll a team with the lifesteal because you know somehow you're getting fed. Her dueling is inadequate, so she's not capable of functioning in top lane, and anywhere else isn't worth mentioning. It's not fun to play her because the only thing you can do in a teamfight is ult and Q. It'd probably be fun to play against her, since it's a free lane, but that's not helping.

If you're serious about making stuff work, give it some thought, look over other champions, keep those questions in mind, and give it another go. I'd love to read it and see it work. If you weren't really serious, I don't know why you posted this, honestly, but maybe your next attempt will be better.
