In Japan there was a myth about creatures able to control thunder and lighting, called Raijin. I thought this would be a cool concept for a new Mage/Assassin.

Lore:

A prankster by birth, Rajineru has always loved to cause trouble. He loved to sneak around at lightning speeds and shock people just to watch them jump. He hated to take anything serious. He was laid back and loved to sit around on sunny days just enjoying the shade of trees. He had no home, but he loved his freedom. He danced in thunder storms and lived by moonlight. He goes throughout Runeterra because the freedom of travel invigorates him. http://orig10.deviantart.net/3b51/f/2016/019/d/8/image_by_roninlightningx-d9ommay.jpg More often then not he can be found sitting in the clouds watching the world turn. Often times curiosity draws him down from the heavens. Aside from dropping down to occasionally swipe the tastiest meal he could find on window ledges, he loved to look for challenges. He chases down the strongest warriors and those brave at heart to challenge them to a fight. http://orig04.deviantart.net/df90/f/2016/020/1/c/image_by_roninlightningx-d9oq6sp.jpg He cares not for the toils and conflict of the world dwellers. But he has taken notice of a greater presence. He has noticed the world traveler taking part in conflict. Taken notice of angelic immortals and demonic swordsman raging in battle. Creatures of a far off void entering through rips in the world. Great beasts craving flesh in deep jungles. The fabric of time being undone. Even the care takers of life and death have involved themselves. His curiosity draws him.

"I will bring a storm down upon you all" -Rajineru

Kit:

basic:

basic hits with his hand are close range melee.

Passive:

Static electricity Charge: Every step Rajineru takes charges a meter, which once it hits 100% acts like lighting. if he hits anyone it causes extra damage. If anyone hits him they get hurt to, like static electricity. You get shocked touching or being touched. You can't touch lightning. Adds .25 or .5 or 1 ability power every time it hits anyone permanently. Whichever works. If the opponent is not close enough though, the passive wont work. It works only when either the champion is close or the champion uses a close range physical attack on Rajineru.

Q:

Bolt shoots a lighting bolt at the opponent. If the bolt hits a target, it adds a tracking devise on the opponent. As long as the opponent is in range he can use W to shoot over and blast them with a lighting fist. The passive doesn't work at long range.

W:

Lighting FIst Hitting with his fist with a loud thunder this causes damage and slows his opponent down, the lightning affecting the nerves. If Q, Bolt, was cast and combined with W it deals extra damage..this also combines with the passive if the passive is up for more damage.

E:

Lightning speeds A dash that turns him to lighting and can be used to dash to champions and minions. Sort of similar to Yasuo's, but while he dashes he can not be stunned in lighting form. He can't dash to the same champion more than once because that would be to difficult for the opponents, unless the cool down has passed. Sort of a lightning doesn't hit twice idea. as long as he keeps dashing to new opponents or minions he stays in lighting form, but once he is out of champions or creatures he turns back to normal. Like a chain effect, if people hold hands lighting will go through all of them till it reaches the last one.

R:

Storm of rage This allows him to cast a larger version of his remaining skills and combines them. If cast with Q it creates a huge version of his Q. basically amplifying it into a huge bolt of lighting. If combined with his W, he throws a lighting bolt in the form of a fist (range pending) at an opponent across the map, dealing damage and a slow down area affect (as long as he has vision on the point). If combined with his E it allows him to turn into lighting and jump into the sky and land near an ally (deals no damage).

Blitz has a lightning passive whenever his ult is up, but I imagine this would be more powerful? Or only hit champions? As it is now, it's kind of like a static shiv/thornmail passive. I think the extra ability power would be a little much, especially into teamfights (unless there's a cooldown on his passive).

-Kind of a side note, but as tricksters, it'd be really cool if dashing to an ally champion with his E transformed him into a copy of the ally for a few seconds/until he attacked. Like the trickster item from the Blackmarket mode. But maybe as more of a passive effect with a long cooldown.

Reminds me a lot of Lee Sin as he is now. Would be cool to see more lightning based champs, though. I can imagine lotsa pretty particles.

Damn... Dudes got some crazy lats in those drawings.

Okay, basically seems like a mashup of Lee sin, Kennen, and Karma with a touch of Yasuo, Blitz, and Veigar thrown in. It isn't bad per se, but it doesn't seem all that unique.

Passive: Basically just damage that gives him more AP, I like the whole idea of static discharge that damages someone if he attacks them or they attack him, but other than that it's kind of bland.

Q: Linear skillshot nuke. Combining it with his W Lee sin style is cool, but overall it's a boring ability, sort of a dime a dozen in terms of identity these days.

W: I like this as a dash and the synergy with Q, but again, not very inventive or innovative design-wise. Using things from pre-existing champs is certainly ok, but it only works if you can make it feel new and fresh, this just feels like the same old same old that most champs already have.

E: This is pretty much the best part of his kit (chain lightning, electricity flowing through a circuit, cool stuff) but it's a little vague. Drop the part about working like Yasuo's dash and change it to something like "Rajineru dashes 6 times between enemy units, dealing X damage each time and avoiding all CC" however, that sounds too much like Master Yi's Alpha strike, so I'd suggest allowing him to dash to an enemy more than once, sort of like Brand's ultimate bouncing between two champs.

R: this feels like something between Karma's ult and Heimerdinger's ult. The empowered Q sounds exactly like Lux's R, the empowered W sounds like a cool take on global nukes like Draven or Ashe's Rs, and E sounds like a weaker version of Shen's R.

Overall, I can see that you are dedicated to this concept, but it just doesn't bring enough new things to the table to really be that amazing. If you stick with the concept, I hope you eventually succeed in making it really great!
