Champion Creation - Luna, Last of the Lunari

Luna is the only remaining descendant of the lost clan Lunari of Mount Targon. It was once thought that the Lunari were wiped out in battle by the Solari and that there tribe no longer existed, but the former elder of the Lunari had predicted the oncoming war. She learned of the attacks the Solari were plotting against her tribe and she knew she had to take action to prevent the Lunari from being destroyed. So she sent her granddaughter, Luna, to an Ionian temple for training to hide her from the Solari. Before Luna left, her grandmother had hidden a scroll of all the culture, history, and secrets of the Lunari and only told Luna a clue as to the whereabouts of this said scroll hidden somewhere deep in Ionia. She warned Luna not to turn back to Mount Targon until she had finished her training and located the hidden scroll in Ionia. The day after Luna left her people were massacred by the Solari, unfortunately Luna knew nothing of the events that occurred on Mount Targon that day. Years went by and after Luna had finished her special training in the Ionian Temple, from a wise woman of indomitable will and unbound spiritual power (aka Karma but shh no one knows that), she chose to find the scroll. In doing so she had learned everything there was to know about the culture of the Lunari including the location of the secret temple with moon infused silver armor and a crescent shaped sword (aka Diana's weapons from the Lunari temple). Finally at the end of the scroll was a personal message from her grandmother. She was explaining to Luna of the visions of the war she saw coming and why she actually sent her away to Ionia. In horror and disbelief, Luna knew she had to get back to her tribe to protect her heritage. She began her ascending journey onto Mount Targon, but what she found was terrifying. In the place she last knew of her tribe she found what she could only assume to be the remains of her once great civilization. It was covered by snow and debris and every building had been destroyed. There was not a Lunarian in sight. Unsure of what had happened she fled to the temple to find some answers. But when she got to the temple she found nothing. Assuming the temple had also been raided by the Solari she was enraged and swore to avenge the Lunari. She scaled further up the mountain enraged till she reached the Solari temple. But when she got there she found all the elders dead and the warriors of Ra-Horak gone without a trace. Confused and unsure of the truth, Luna rushed up to the highest peak of Mount Targon. Upon reaching the top she screamed out to the moon to help her find the truth of what happened to her people and on Mount Targon. The moon glowing high above the mountain, the only thing shining light down upon her, and in that moment she swore to take back everything that belonged to the Lunari, including the sacred Lunari armor and weapon, at any cost.

Luna, Last of the Lunari Luna is a tanky character with a kit that allows her to take down any enemy that gets in her path. She wields a staff with three crescent blades on the front end and barbed anchor that shoots off from a chain on the other end. Luna's extremely aggressive and doesn't mind taking a hit to get in range to snag her enemies with the barb and drag them back into her range.

Luna's Passive: Lunarian Warrior Luna gains extra armor for each ability and auto attack she hits on a champion (stacking up to 5 times).

Q - Decapitate (500 range) Luna swings her staff in front of her in a cone. Any champion caught inside the blade at the end is slowed and takes a small bleed damage for the next few seconds. Any champion hit by just the staff and not the blade will be slowed only for half the amount of the slow of the blade.

W - Moon's Shadow (800 range) Luna raises her staff to create a zone of night. In this zone she may recast the ability to a target location and appear out of the shadow after a short delay. Any champions near where Luna reappears take damage while minions also are feared.

E - Nights Hold (600 range) Luna shoots the barb out of her staff and if it hits an enemy champion she reels them back into the staff dealing damage over time. If Luna reactivates the ability before they are reeled in she will jump to them knocking them up and doing a small amount of HP% damage.

R - Call of the Lunari (700 range) Luna calls upon the moon to give her strength. This creates a small zone around Luna and after a small delay Luna and any of her allies in the zones receive a buff that boosts their armor, magic resist and movement speed for a few seconds, as well as empowering their next ability or auto attack.

First time trying this out so let me know what you think! I don't really know how to do calculations for actual numbers on damage totals and cc, so if anyone has any tips feel free to share! Sorry I don't have any pictures, I'm not an exceptionally good drawer, but if anyone wants to try drawing what they envision Luna to look like feel more than free to do so ^w^. Also I tried to make her different from Diana since Luna is supposed to be an actual member of the Lunari and Diana was raised by the Solari.

Hey, I'll always upvote some Targonian champion that doesn't use the damn bullshit Aspect lore.

Anyway, about the abilities. You've got a close range damage nuke/slow, a slow close range teleport that fears minions, and a grab that also deals percentage damage, then an ult that gives everyone a defensive boost.

So, I'm not sure what she's supposed to be. The grab makes me think of her as an initiator and possibly a tank, but she doesn't have any real damage mitigation abilities beside her passive and her ult, meaning she'll have a lot of trouble in lane. She could possibly be a support, but she doesn't have the healing, damage mitigation, or CC power to be a good support.

I'd also really look at the teleport and grab combo. The (major) purpose of a grab is to get an enemy out of position, essentially by bringing them into a more favorable position for your team to capitalize. Meanwhile the W is fairly long ranged, but slow, so it could be a teleport around the enemies to initiate on them ability, only once she does that, she can't really do anything to the enemies except for that Q. Having to click twice and the delay makes it pretty poor for an escape. Her only consistent means of defense is her passive, but, it could be argued that if the purpose of the tank is to be the initiator on the team, then they must have a way to stay alive during that initial destructive burst against them, while the passive works the opposite way getting stronger over time instead of allowing her to survive the initial barrage.

If I could give some advice it would be to really think how this champion would play in a game, what their goal is in a game, and how this champion can do their specific niche thing well enough to make her better than most other picks. Because, right now, I don't see how she'd be better than say a Nautilus, who also has a far better ranged grab, that also works as an initiator tool, with much better CC, an ability to shield himself against the initial attacks of his enemies, and a passive and E that let him do pretty consistent damage which along with the aforementioned cc means the enemy will want to take him down thus fulfilling his role as a tank.

I hope that's helpful, for a first time champ it's pretty interesting.
