Champion concept: Kal’Tor, the Void Hivemind

Kal’Tor is not a single being, but a hivemind composed of a thousand moth-like creatures. In game, he acts as a warden support that specializes in keeping the enemy away from his carries and, if all else fails, uses his own health to shield that of his allies.

Abilities:

Passive: Trail of moths

Wherever Kal’Tor walks, he leaves behind a trail of moths in his path. Enemy champions standing on the path are slowed by 20% and heal Kal’Tor a small amount for as long as they stand on it.

Q: Step no further

(Vector cast) Kal’Tor places a line of moths on the ground that deals damage and slows for 40%. After a 2 second delay, the moths return to Kal’Tor by flying violently off the ground, dealing damage again and stunning enemies for 1 second.

W: Swat them away

Kal’Tor slows himself for 15% as he begins charging a swarm of moths that erupt from himself. Upon release, the swarm knocks back any enemies around him in a circle. Knockback distance and damage increases with channel time.

E: Living shield

Kal’Tor dissolves himself into a cloud of moths as he dashes towards an ally champion and reforms around them, shielding them for up to 10 seconds with his own HP. Kal’Tor can still cast his other abilities while shielding an ally, who will continue to leave a Trail of moths behind them. Both units benefit from the healing granted by the trail. Recasting this ability or issuing a movement command will cancel this ability, causing Kal’Tor to rematerialize next to his ally.

R: The Swarm

Kal’Tor releases a giant swarm of moths in a large area around him for 5 seconds that slows, damages and applies nearsight to any enemies walking towards or attacking his team. Any damage dealt by this ability will also heal any ally champions within the zone.

I like the idea! Moths are cool, and we don't have anything mothy yet.

I had a similar hive mind concept but mine was for a top/mid laner. Check out Ahk'Ahn and let me know what you think?

Just in time for halloween XD

Love the idea, very creative, love the theam and his kit.

maybe change the wording of: Wherever Kal’Tor walks, he leaves behind a trail of moths in his path. Enemy champions standing in the path are slowed by 20% and heal Kal’Tor a small amount for as long as they stand in it.

Void hivemind is one of the most overused and trite of concepts, but this one shows some real promise! I think the use of moths helps differentiate from other like champions, and the visual you gave us is also quite unlike anything I've ever seen. The kit itself is very good, I don't see any egregious elements other than his CC might be a bit much (having three very solid ones). Kit flows, has a solid thematic. Very good work.
