Hello everyone, this is my first time posting to any of the League boards, and I am excited to share my first custom champion concept! I plan on doing many more, so please give some feedback on what I have here so I can improve my designs!

Abaddon: Chaos of the Void

**Bio: ** Abaddon was orphaned at a young age and had to grow up in the cruel streets of the Noxian Capital alone. He grew to become a strong fighter and learned to believe in survival of the fittest. When he came to adulthood, he began hearing of the teachings of Malzahar and stories of the terrifying Voidborn, and became truly convinced of the coming of the Void. He became obsessed with wanting to assist the coming of the Void, believing there is nothing in Runterra stronger than the Voidborn. He journeyed to find Malzahar to inquire on how he obtained his power, and when he finally confronted him, Malzahar could see a hidden power inside Abaddon that could be key to the coming of the Void. Abaddon had an arcane reaction to Malzahar’s Void power due to his ancestry of powerful mages (although he did not know this), allowing him to feel the presence of the Void all around him. This power guided him to Icathia, whereupon a strange worm-like Voidborn emerged from a portal and wrapped around his arm and painfully fused itself with Abaddon’s body, infusing him with power. He went mad as the creature, Va’Leek, flooded his mind with thoughts of death and destruction. His mind rattling with the desires of the creature, he now wanders Runeterra with intent on destruction of anyone he deems too weak to survive the coming of the Void; causing chaos to fulfill the desires of Va’Leek.

Roles: Tank, Fighter

Stats: Health: 600-2230 Health Regen: 7-16 Mana: 325-1010 Mana Regen: 7-24 Basic Attack Range: Melee 175 AD: 62-120 Attack Speed: 0.64 (+0-55.5%) Armor: 24-75 Magic Resist: 32-52 Movement Speed: 345

Gathering Power (Passive): For each full second Abaddon spends channeling an ability, he gains a stack of Gathering Power. At 5 stacks, his next basic attack will deal 20 / 50 / 80 (+5% max health) bonus magic damage and stun the target for 1.5 seconds. Abaddon can move at 30% reduced speed while channeling any ability.

Void Burst (Q): Channels for up to 3 seconds, swirling Void energy in a cone in front of him that slows enemies by 30-60 / 35-65 / 40-70 / 45-75 / 50-80% based on the duration of channel. If reactivated early or let time out, the energy bursts, dealing 20-100 / 45-125 / 70-150 / 95-175 / 120-200 (+0.8 AP) magic damage based on duration of channel. Cone has about 450 unit radius at a 30 degree angle total.
Cooldown: 8 seconds Cost: 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 mana

Drain Shield (W): Channels for the next 3 seconds, draining life from the things around him for a shield. Enemy units within 300 units around him are dealt 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 / 3% their current health in magic damage per second, a percentage of which is added to the shield. Shield generates at 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 (+50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70% damage dealt to enemy champions and large monsters) per second. Shield lasts for 5 seconds after done channeling.
Cooldown: 20 seconds Cost: 80 mana

Drag the Weak (E): Abaddon dashes in the target direction for 400 / 450 / 500 / 550 / 600 units, dragging enemy units within 100 units around him with him, dealing 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 (+0.2 AP) magic damage.
Cooldown: 22 / 20 / 18 / 16 / 14 seconds Cost: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 mana

Cataclysm (R): Channels for up to 4 seconds, sending out a global sound signal at the start (like Sion or Tahm Kench). On second activation, he flies to a target location (which is revealed to all players when selected) and smashes the ground, dealing 150-300 / 250-400 / 350-500 (+0.5 AP) magic damage and pulling all enemies in the area toward him. The ground he smashed is destroyed, slowing enemies in the area by 30-60% that lasts for 2-5 seconds. If the channel timer runs out without second activation or he is interrupted, it goes on a greatly shortened cooldown. He cannot be disabled mid-flight.
Range: 2000-4000 (reaches max range at 2 seconds) Impact Area: radius of 500 units Cooldown: 150 / 130 / 110 seconds Cost: 100 / 120 / 140 mana

Quotes: Champ select: “You have chosen annihilation, Summoner. You will help us bring the Void.” Joke: “I never knew the Voidborn would be so itchy. Gaah!” Taunt: “Va’Leek hungers for your ashes.” “The Voidborn are beyond your control. They will consume all!” Movement: “The Void compels me.” “They don’t deserve to see the Void.”
Attack Command: “I will crush it!” “Va’Leek shall have its head!” Shout during ultimate: “Runeterra will kneel before the might of the Void!” “Chaos will always prevail!”

Edit: Put general nerfs on all of the damages on abilities and increased the cooldowns on W and E. Abaddon is meant to be a tank with lots of cc to cause major disruption during fights, not burst down anyone he feels like (unless you itemize to do so).

I like the concept. Cool passive, good synergy with kit. I think his Q and W are very powerful, however, and I think giving him a dash might make him a little too strong. Also, I always assume numbers are subject to tuning, because god damn some of those base damages; channeling or not some of them are ridiculous.
