More Darkin?

Ok so as all knows, there are Three Darkin already on the rift, Atarox Aatrox , Varus Varus , and Kayn Kayn . In manners of speaking thats a top laner, a jungeler, and an ADC. Now if Riot has ideas for a mid-laner and Support Darkin yet obviosly beats me but i figured id throw out an idea of a Support at least for being a support main.

So being a support has many traits and kits, and ways of building, rather it be Tank and peel, or Heal and give stat boosts (Like Jannas Shield which adds AD, or Nami who add three extra dmging autos) But either way there hasnt really been one thats a mix of both, I mean Raken is slightly, build him health tank, but with item 3504 or such for his shield, but otherwise id call him a Tank with peel personally, Or the one and only Taric Taric who is a tank that has the heal, stun, and shield which is kinda what im thinking of since there actually isnt another champ like him ..

So my idea is a Darkin that instead of weilding a strain Weapon, like the Scythe, Bow, or Sword as like the darkin so far, one that was imprisoned in a suit of armor, an armor made from the steel of a fallen star and held with old runes of the old Runterra war, or something of the case, if i could draw and all good id just make a sketch of it, but the idea of him is that from his long imprisonment something changed inside him and (Like kayn in away) he fights with it each day (To either smash everything to ruin as a darkin, or protect and save as a savior).

Shil'Ka: The Darkin that Chose.

BIO:

Buried deep in the mountain of Targon was rumored to be a set of armor that once was wore by an ancient Hero who came from seemingly nowhere, a man who was neither devil nor angle. With his strength he protected those behind him, not letting one arrow fly by him, but with that same strength destroyed those that apposed and threatened his peoples well-being. To most that was simple rumors, but to a man in need it was his last chance to fight along side his fellow Targons, he was small and frail, but his heart and will held his resolve strong as he ventured the caps of the mountain. Days, weeks, went by and to his displeasure he found nothing, down to the very end to where his frail body was to fall limp. As the young man fell in and out a deep voice echoed with but one sentence "They need you, you must protect them." the man grunted in thought, he knew what he wanted and he knew what he had to do and so the man kept forward as the voice continued in his head "The enemy approaches and you will be lost.." , "Victory is a must, you must protect those who cant protect themselves.." , and much more..

A cave in the distance with a man sitting outside it, the flicker of flames could be seen and to the man it was sanctuary from the cold and possible food. As he made his way closer he noticed the man was old, and cold himself, and by the looks of his had no food for himself let alone and to offer. Waking the elderly male up, the man asked what it was that he was doing there. The older male simply smiled and put his hands out "Do you have any food or warmth?" he asked, think for a moment the man sighed and nodded "Yes.." he answered as he took the cloak off his back and wrapped the man in it before pulling out his last meal and gave it to the older man before asking if he may step into the cave to warm himself by the fire. The older male nodded and stood as the the man walked in and stood by the open flame, but as he turned the older male was gone, and not a trace of him even being there was seen. Then a voice spoke from deeper in the cave "You who wishes to fight come closer.." the man stood there scared in wonder what it was that spoke to him, but exited with the thought as well as he made his way forth "You who are to weak but wants to protect come to me.." it spoke again much louder now as he made his way closer and deeper in the cave "Tell me what you want, tell me your desires.." it spoke again but before the man could get a word out the voice spoke again "Then take my power and become their Hero..." and with that a rumble shook in the depths of the cave, the man turned back as to run out but the entrance begun to cave in, and he was forced to run deeper into the cave, faster and deeper he ran as the rocks fell and crushed behind him grew ever so closer. A light begun to show at the end but it looked as if it was moving itself, as if it was running towards him as well the closer he got to it the larger it was and the sound of more crushing rocks echoed from deep in the cave, they was trapped and doomed to die, they kept running closer to one another, the closer they got the man noticed it was a man in a suit of armor which made his slow down in fear, was e to be crushed or slain, how was this going to end? He quickly remembered though that the cave was falling in and picked up pace, as he did he noticed that the armored man had done the same, slowed and picked up pace, the man waved to the armored man trying to wave him back, and the armored man done the same back, everything the man tried to do the armored man mirrored back at the same time. Closer and closer they got the closer the rocks got till they both jumped to each other and upon their touch something happened. The armor opened up to show that noone was in the suit as it wrapped itself around the man and grew to his size, the voice spoke once again and to the mans surprise it was the armor that spoke "My power is yours, now save yourself and hold your resolve strong or ill hold you to it.." the man didnt know what to make of the words that as spoken but he knew he was about to die, he was hoping it was a dream and crouched down and covered his eyes. Before he knew it, everything went silent, the shaking stopped, the sound of crashing rocks silenced and as the man opened his eyes he was back at the entrance of the cave, the suit of armor still on, and the cave collapsed though, and knew what had happened at this point as he was finally able to think and with this new found power he journeyed back to his home to show that he wasnt crazy and that he to was able to do something...

(Bio sucks i know, i just had to throw something in for the CCOS)

Passive: Watchers Judgement

For his Passive i thought (If like kayn) Have him simply gather energy or whatever by what he does, if he deal more dmg physically then he heals, or shields allies, then his darkin takes over, and vise versa other wise..

Now if like Kaynes then as i stated it to start, in this way itll give the champ a better diverse around in lanes. If he was to deal for physical dmg to enemy champions and go darkin then i figured he'd lose the need for healing and shield buffs and simply go more tank and dmg, maybe have a stun or knock up every few autos, or something, but if he was to aid allies more then as said below.

If not like kayns then i figured maybe an add-on in stats per allied champion is around, for example your playing support so you get say a 5% increase in you shields, and healing and an increase in armor (Saying such cause im figuring it to be melee, if ranged then minus the armor and such (But this is all simple examples, that maybe OP or something but in my head it dont sound it so just bare with me lol)

(FYI: Im put these as if passive was like kayn's otherwise im going for the "Saviors" more for support)

Q, Saviors Grace/Darkins Wrath: (20/15/12/8)

Saviors Grace: Chamipon pulls health from the nearest enemy and heals his closest Ally with it.

Darkins Wrath: Pulls health from the nearest Enemy and Heals Himself with it.

W, Resolve of Heart/Hands of Destruction: (15/12/9/7 CD)

Resolve of Heart: Shields an Ally and whilst they are shielded they gain a % of the champions own armor and MR

Hands of Destruction: Adds a shield to himself and empowers his next attack

E, Faiths leap/Breakers Leap: (12/10/8/6 CD)

Faiths Leap (Skill shot): Champion leaps and hits first enemy, if hit then holds them for 1s.

Breakers Leap (Skill shot): Leaps and hits first enemy, if hit champion smashes the ground, Holds first champion and knocks up close by enemy for 1s

R, Demolish: (100/80/65 CD)

Chamipon starts smashing the ground below him which sends a quack in a medium (Think panths, GPs, Fiddles Ult range) AOE which dmgs for % of health and slows enemies for say 3s.

All of this is just examples of said idea for a Support Darkin, so as long as no one bad mouths or anything over said examples i really love hearing thoughts since this is a community of us who loves this game and its lore and all, and i know it all sounds bad but again its just examples

EDIT: I made some tweaks, hope it works better.

I really like the idea of a support that can either turn into a tank semi-ADC or an enchanter/ADC assist. Although, I feel that there might be a better way to have them switch rather than taking Kayn's mechanic. Maybe he could have unique support items, akin to maybe Relic Shield and an AD version of Spellthiefs. One problem I see is that the dark form of his E is simply better than the savior form in really every way, since you get the same stun, but applied to multiple people AND it deals presumably more damage.

I think the concept could be really good with some finer tweaks though, good job!

They could make a Darkin for every role,but I would rather they don't force such designs,if they aren't working out.

i would suggest to make the passive go by being near champions. How does something like this sound:

Passive: Watchers Judgement On Spell Effect | Tether Radius: 400 Tether Range: 500

After effecting either an allied or enemy champion with an ability, a tether is created from the effected champion to Shil'Ka if they are close enough when effected, lasting 3.0 seconds. Shil'Ka gains Blessed Energy every second while remaining tethered to allies, and Cursed Energy while remaining tethered to allies.

If a allied or enemy champion dies while the tether is active, he gains a large amount of the respective energy instantly.

Shil'Ka gains Cursed Energy 4 times faster than Blessed Energy would be gained.

  • Shil'Ka may effect both allies and enemy champions at the same time, or hold overlapping tether duration.

You can change the energy names and stuff to make it fit your theme a bit better. Kinda fits with the current lore as he chooses to stay next to whomever he effects and looks to further that path.
