If we're gonna get a whip champ, I'd like to see it based off if catslevania and have grevious wounds so it counters Vladimir

This is great, and a really interesting concept. We don't have a whip wielding Champ yet, a Darkin seems like a cool fit. I like everything to do with the Orb, especially the interactions with her Darkin form. Reminds me of Moira from Overwatch, and I have a lot of fun with her. One thing to be careful of with a concept like this is that Riot has a lot of trouble balancing form switching Champs, just because they have so many abilities. But I think with their focus on supporting and CCing, with little emphasis on damage, it might work.

From a lore perspective, it would be interesting to see a Darkin and their human host work together/sympathize with one another. The design is neat overall. Good job to the creator. [sg-ahri-2]

Very interesting concept. I would love to see a lore explanation as to how the form changing works, since it seems like they would be able to go back and forth between Mica being in control and Ivaara being in control, unlike Kayn where one side dominates the other completely.

This concept is really great, and the kit looks like it would be easy to balance. But i feel like her darkin q and e are too similar to kayns abilities. Other than that, this is amazing

Holy crap, the effort that went into this...GJ

I actually really like this.

Not overloaded with mobility / cc / damage all in one.

Abilities that are good on their own but can be combo'd for people who learn the champ well enough.

I'm wondering though... Could she move and deflect the orb in another direction?

Aah... Now I'm thinking if QREW is possible... (Throwing out the orb, Changing forms, Moving to an ally, Coming out to deflect the orb elsewhere and healing them a possible 3 times. I like it.)

Edit: Actually that combo would heal 4 times

Orb on the way out

Refuge

Orb coming back

Orb Deflected

Thinking about that makes me a little excited :)

this is so fucking cute aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

what i hate about amazing concepts is riot is never gona use it exactly as its been fleshed out to be

so even if riot does use this, itll be changed just enough to where its not this amazing concept anymore, for like legal reasons

but this is sooooo good and cute i love it

Pùls3/4/2018, 7:10:38 AM1 votes

This actually seems like something riot would do, not exactly, some abilities would have to be changed, but i like the concept of being able to combo abilities by changing forms! let me reiterate what i just said ahem YES YES YES!

Neat!

Deneviel3/4/2018, 11:18:50 AM1 votes

Not a fan of her human form hyerpassive playstyle ( Heal, SHield and KB T_T )

Still it's a great concept ans surely deserve an upvote

GreenLore3/4/2018, 12:30:24 PM1 votes

Overall the kit and design have some cool elements,but I feel like the theme of the champ is bit stale,essentially the only unique thing about her is the whip.

Even Kayn is unique in that he has the whole "guy with a demon inside"-theme(i know darkins aren't demons in runeterra,but they are clearly based n them),which is a major part of his character,while Mica just has a simple form change.

I think it's a great concept and kudos to the creator for the time, effort, and creativity he/she put forth into making this. In the world of League, I actually would love a whip wielding character to either be a haughty aristocrat from Piltover (with an attitude/demeanor similar to Lili from tekken or Karin from Street fighter), a dancer/entertainer from Demacia/Ionia (could be a rival of Sona), or one of the key players/members of the Black Rose from Noxus (with a personality akin to Leblanc and Elise, but more aloof and reserved with an ulterior motive).

I've actually been trying to imagine a whip support champ lately. I love this design

xelaker3/5/2018, 2:58:18 AM1 votes

maybe a little too much like kayn/thresh

UnbelYivable3/5/2018, 2:48:57 PM1 votes

Love it!! Kinda looks like a mixture of Migi from Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu and Aatrox from you know where!

Oleandervine3/5/2018, 2:53:07 PM1 votes

The concept is neat, and beautifully animated. I do especially like the idea of "Refuge" as sort of a reverse Kayn's R or a self propelled version of Kalista's R.

Personally though, I would split them and have Ivaraa be a whip wielding ADC.

Hupsis3/5/2018, 2:56:09 PM1 votes

Ivaara seems interesting, Mica not so much. I would rather not have another transformation based Darkin :/

We lack a whip user in game so that could potentially prove to be very fertile soil for new kinda gameplay. Based on the concept Ivaara's abilities are rather generic and feel similar to Kayn in many aspects... probably cause it was intended to work together with Mica's abilities.

It's very good concept [sg-soraka]

That is a really neat one :D I've always wondered what a Darkin Support might be like.

If aatrox and kalista had a baby

Kubox3/3/2018, 10:59:55 PM1 votes

An enchanter support with skillful expression, a cool design and a unique weapon?

Yes please.

Handy Sandy 3/3/2018, 11:12:09 PM1 votes

actual gifs cool, there should be more combos with her other abilities.

Voidzilla3/3/2018, 11:56:42 PM1 votes

Very cool concept. Really like the work the artist put into this.

DarkSoul19943/4/2018, 12:50:55 AM1 votes

Darkin Support seems like way too much of an oxymoron to me - particularly if it isn't a Warden Support.

DeadUnborn3/4/2018, 12:57:01 AM1 votes

looks like an interesting support

I wish I knew how to make all these moving art pieces and etc. Is art station the actual program they used to make it?

I'm so out of the loop on art programs. Everything updates so fast. :/

Nymzo3/4/2018, 2:32:53 AM1 votes

Holy shit what an interesting concept.

This is exactly the kind of form shift support we should have, someone that combos their spells between forms is a smart idea.

I Main Swain3/4/2018, 2:49:24 AM1 votes

first of all i have been begging for a whip-wielding champ for years, although every time i do people just say "but we have Thresh lul" but chains arent a true whip, chains are blunt and heavy, whips are made for stripping flesh.

anyways though, second, i LOVE this concept and while its not perfect, even just the concept itself of a form changing support who i personally like to think is some kind of partial darkin is awesome

Placentas3/4/2018, 3:30:55 AM1 votes

I like both designs but tbh could leave Mica behind. Ivaara looks really cool and I don't feel like we need another transformation Darkin.

Whyte Lyon3/4/2018, 5:22:04 AM1 votes

I like the Darkin's name but the double a is pandering to something that isnt a thing.

ChuShoe3/4/2018, 5:48:28 AM1 votes

The beauty of concept art tho.
