So a brief history about this concept. I posted this guy a few months ago just as a concept I came up with, posted and waited to see what people's thoughts were. Most of theme were good but overall it wasn't enough feedback to try and keep me working on it and, funny thing, I accidentally took Fiddlestick's title for this guy without realizing it. So think of this as a repost/fix/update to that. (If you're interested in the original here's the link: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/AbKUwYZ9-ashteroth-the-harbinger-of-doom )

##Lore Ashteroth originally began as a small essence of magic within the vast cosmos of the universe since the beginning. As time passed on it began to develop, slowly growing into something and drifting about. However, as it neared Runeterra it started to feed off the magic from there. As it did it also found new sources to feed off of: the negativity of humans and all other life there, such as war, violence, anger, fear, death, etc. What was a small piece of forming innocent life suddenly erupted into a demon of hatred and destruction that lusted for death, conquest and battle. Around this time the Targonian gods noticed her birth and realized that she would soon become a grave threat to them. So they banded together, quickly defeated her and decided to lock her away down within the Howling Abyss. While being locked away for so long, Ashteroth began to lose strength and was just being kept alive by the fuel of hatred and war from the humans above. Later, the Watchers are then banished into the abyss, to where Ashteroth finds them and begins devouring them to regain her strength. When she had done so, she waited for an opportune time, and then it came almost like a spark. A spark that allowed her finally break fourth from her prison. She now sets about Valorann, setting forth destruction and spite madness of violence to those she crosses, for that is what created her and thus what she shall spread to the world.

##Abilities

Passive: Each of Ashteroth's auto attacks deals bonus magic damage equal to a flat amount + % amount of his AP. Additionally, whenever an enemy unit dies near Ashteroth, she gains bonus ability power for X seconds. The bonus ability power is greatly increased if it's a champion and the value is doubled if she killed the target. There is a max stack you can get from minions, but any champion that you kill or die near you will be added to a separate stack of there own. (So lets say you can have a max bonus AP of 25 and you reach it and champions give you +10. If you kill 2 champions, you then gain +45 ability power. However, these stacks have a separate timer duration, so if you keep killing minions and after a certain time passes and the champion bonus wears off, you will still maintain your +25 bonus from minions.)

Q: Releases a wave of fire in target direction, dealing damage to all enemies hit by base amount + % AP. The area from the cone is then left scorched for X seconds, dealing damage to enemies based on there max health while they're in it and increases Ashteroth's movement speed when walking over it.

W: Toggle: Your basic attacks gain a small amount of range and deal additional magic damage based on a % of your AP + % of your max mana, while costing you a portion of your mana for each attack. As well, your attacks on targets will slow them by 15/25/35/45% for 1 seconds with a 6/5/4/3 second cooldown before you can slow them again (similar to Jarvan's passive).

E: Brings a shield around you for X seconds. Shield has a base value + % bonus HP and max mana. During this time, any damage the shield takes will return health back to you based on how much damage the shield took from the attack or ability +% of the damage done to the shield.

R: Launches in the air and strikes down at target location, dealing massive at the epicenter,stunning any enemies in it and creating a wave in all directions, dealing damage to all enemies it hits. The wave will also turn the ground to scorched earth for a longer duration. (Notes: This ult is unstoppable and if you don't really know what this is suppose to look like, basically think of an Aatrox Q but with something like this at the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kPz4cvIYEA)

Lastly are some reference images to try and help you get a feel for what she might look like: http://i.imgur.com/3IXjQwI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ggTSLJx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OQtZITo.png http://i.imgur.com/h3GCZFz.jpg

And so that's the end. If you have any questions or fair criticism, just leave a comment below. Thank you all for reading.

way too OP. Overloeaded kit with so much to do. This kit gives way too much manipulation and just so much AOE. Maybe change the W a bit. That combined with Rylais would be insta lockdown. Plus with major AOE and diving potential, just seems very unbalanced

The ult feels like a boring AoE. Its unoriginal and I see it in many concepts, I suggest you rework it.
