Gameplay

Lore:

Shin-Lu is one few remaining Ni'Rud (Ne-Rude) a tribal nation living in the Plague Jungles. Though rumors have it they come from a place called Calsune (Cal - Soon) but it does appear on any map dating back 200 years and any map predating the oldest one were "lost" in a fire. All that is known about the Ni'Rud is the instance involving a summoner from the Institute of War when feedback from a summoning spell destroyed the village and most of he inhabitants. Second is distrust of outside help though it seems the champion known as Jax seems to receive no resistance in fact it seems he was the only champion allowed inside. Even when Gragas asked Jax to put in a word in Jax declined saying " Somethings are best left alone."

Shin-Lu spent the next few years looking for the summoner that destroyed his village. He headed towards the Institute of War. On the way he met a woman heading the same though their reasons were different him seeking revenge and she was seeking a chance to attain her humanity without further harm. when she asked him "how would killing this summoner been justice to your people?"
His only reply was "There are worse things than death."

most hated enemy LeeSin (yes he hates Lee Sin more than anything else)

Remember, if you're no good at numbers, leave them off. Bad numbers drag down concepts. Case in point: your cooldowns are so impossibly long, 40% CDR is mandatory. That's bad. This isn't DotA - people like having abilities to use during the lane.

I guess the passive building up is pretty neat. Gives a clear warning that something's about to happen. There's way too much power loaded in here, though - tone it down a lot. Look at Syndra's passive for decent ideas on bonuses.

This guy's main problem is that he's a mage with impossibly good range that is also energy based. Akali and Kennen, both energy-based mages, have very short ranges and rely on landing combos to get the best damage possible. Meanwhile, Shin-Lu's Q and W go through minions to hit their target, have acceptable ratios, and are energy-based, which means you're freecasting them in terms of long-term resource consumption.

The E in particular is really bad. Soraka's Infuse was removed for a reason (lane was impossibly safe), and many champions' kits (Rengar, Mordekaiser, Gnar, etc.) were balanced around having a self-contained resource only they could interact with. Being able to mess with that resource is incredibly unbalancing. There's also the fact this looks like a targeted nuke that you can cast twice on an enemy for no real effort and instantly CC them, then drop the rest of your stuff.

Props for going the way of Udyr with 4 basics, but the golem is an ultimate-powered ability masquerading as a basic, with impossibly high AD and HP scaling that makes it impossible to take out in the lane while it bashes your face in. It's free harass on the worst possible level. Go look at Tibbers first.

This champion might have the whole four elements thematic to tie itself together, but the kit has absolutely no cohesion. It's got nukes, okay...and a pet it can summon at will? I don't know what you're trying to do with this guy - find a direction for him to go in and go all-in. Is he a mage? Support? Jungler? Magic-based supporting jungler?

And seriously, go look up other champions' numbers. Your numbers are completely out of line with all others. If it's too much, leave them out. Leaving bad numbers in, as you've noticed, gets people like me focused away from the overall concept and onto how unbalanced the numbers are. An energy-based mage might work, and I really do like the whole passive-builds-up-on-skills thing, but this champion in its current form is horrifying.

I have only gone over the champion briefly, but it looks fairly good so far.

You should word the passive a bit different so it is easier to understand, while I think I know hat you mean I am not 100% sure.

His Q I have many concerns, how does he get the Passive? Are the pillars AoE and how does he aim them? Name is the same as Brand W.

His W seems fine

His E seems Fine, 2 sec silence might be considered OP by some, Maybe make the whole thing a stun, or make it just an enemy spell, details below

He fires a line of water that deals 40/60/80/100/120 (+30% AP) and slowing them for 50%, if it hits an enemy he gains a second charge. If he his the same enemy they are stunned for 1.5 sec and take an additional 70/90/110/130/150 (+40% AP)

His R seems fine, maybe a shield though, so they can move.

Nice champion concept. I think what really sells it is the passive; without that the abilities are somewhat bland iterations of "skillshot that deals damage". Is his ultimate a normal ability (like Udyr?). Because if not then it seems very underwhelming, seeing as you can replicate its effect with item 3157 (which I assume the champion would be building normally). Maybe you can change the abilities to be more different fro each other, so they can each fill a unique role in the champion's kit. For example, fire could be focused on dealing damage, lightning on movement speed and self-utility, water on CC and earth on defense. You've got the successful foundations of this idea, but it could be a little more fine-tuned.

very detailed on the concept. I feel the ultimate is a little harder to stack for the passive, consider its cd is longest 50 secs. The late game ultimate would be op as kayle's ult, or better, because even though kayle's ult protects from damage, it doesn't prevent cc or being target. I would have its cd lower to 12 secs for less. And instead of being untargetable i would make it

Passive - Increase armor or Resistance to stun Active - create a shield for 3 secs on ally or self

His skills should be like udyr's, which any skill can be unlock at level 1 , because i feel that all the elements should be equal .

Got a sweet champion here man, I love how we both used the elements in fun but unique ways. Just have two quick questions/comments:

  1. If one ability hits 3 stacks, stacks for all abilities reset correct? If not, that's what I'd recommend for balance or you could stack the passive pretty hardcore between abilities.
  2. Ultimate is nice, but feels a little anticlimactic. What if the shield heals for a percentage of the remaining shield after the 3 seconds so that despite enemies generally waiting for the shield to go down, they have to actively burn the shield or face a pretty hefty heal on the target.

Don't you think that the 15% true damage on auto's from ad and ap is a little much considering that the only other passive that does true damage on hit is Twitch and he has piss all in terms of it?

Aside from that I think that some of your abilities do a little too much, I mean, technically Lee Sin and Nidalee have 7 abilities as well, but Lee Sin needs to first lane a primary ability before being able to cast the second, and Nidalee needs to change forms which is an ability to swap between the three others...

If you're going to effectively have multiple abilities on the Q, W, and E, it might be a smart idea to have different energy costs and cooldowns for how you decide to implement them. It would be interesting to have an ability cost say, 80 energy for self cast and 60 for enemy cast, depending on how you combo you can make and hide op things that would require a high skill level to pull off. In this case like Riven.

Anyway that's my two cents... -.- I don't know, I've never actually tried to make a champ based on energy before or one with multiple ways to cast abilities... I really don't know how this would turn out.

Uhhh, if you wouldn't mind, would you check out Arc? http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/zgdBmXPg-arc-the-ebon-bolt
