Reiki, The Satyr

Lore: Reiki is a peaceful satyr that plays his reed flute deep in the forests of Runeterra. He is a source of life in Runeterra, playing his flute to fill the trees and plants with life and energy. Lucky travelers will occasional hear the distant sound of a beautiful instrument. Reiki is a kind and genteel creature but will protect the things he loves and those he thinks are worthy of his music. Travelers that he finds that are in fatal danger, if he thinks they are good and worth letting live Reiki will play his song and save the travelers. Reiki lived in the forests for many years dancing and playing his songs. But one day a mighty fire raged destroying a large portion of his forest. Witnessing this, Reiki saw the causers of the fire, man. They burned his forest to build more cities, Reiki heard the song of the forest he had worked so heard to make fall apart by the sound of cracking ashes. Reiki cried seeing his nature burnet, he looked up at the men watching it burn. Reiki raised his flute and played a song. The fire faded, the men watched in confusion and heard a strange song, roots shot out from the ground and grabbed the men. The men panicked and struggled, they ran away from the forest and Reiki was alone once again. He hated the men but didn't want to kill them, he played another song and the forest began to heal with his song. Reiki traveled out of his forest to look protect any others he found that man wanted to destroy. He would play his songs to push them away and heal the forests. He would continue playing his music for nature and a chosen few of man while he protected the forests from any future attacks. "Listen to the wind, hear the trees sway, that is the real music." -Reiki

Role: Support, Mage. A male support champion that focuses more on healing and protecting rather then attacking. Giving allies powerful heals and shields and can rock in a team fight with his passive and the right items.

I saw a discussion on how League needed another male healer because the ones we had just weren't cutting it as healers. Alistar heal useless, bard is ok but the shrines have to charge to real work, Taric is... Taric, Zil you have to die before you can get the heal so doesn't really count. So Reiki is going to be a real male healer. Basically I imagine him being as awesome at healing as Braum is at protecting. Hope you guys enjoy my idea.

Abilities:

Passive): Listeners: Reiki gains 20 bonus AP for every Allied champion around him.

Q) Mystic Music: Reiki plays a song in a target direction, the first enemy hit by the song will stop will listen to his mystic music, being stunned for 1.5/2/2.5/3/3.5 seconds and damaging them for 30/45/60/75/90(+70%AP)

W) Song from the Soul: Reiki plays a magic tune from his reed flute, healing a targeted allied champion for 80/100/120/140/160(+60%AP). If targeting an enemy champion, Reiki damages enemies by 50/70/90/110/130(+70%AP) and it will heal him for 45% of the damage dealt.

E) Protective Guardian: Reiki whistles a magic tune at a target allied champion, the music circles the allied champion making a shield that will last for 5 seconds or until destroyed, 50/75/100/125/150(+70%AP)

R) WoodWind: Reiki becomes rooted channeling for 3 seconds. Reiki plays a beautiful song that will give each ally in the area 125/150/175(+70%AP) over the corse of the ability. Any enemies in the area become rooted and silenced for the duration of the ability and are damaged by 75/100/125(+70%AP)

Satyr's are those half goat have man things btw in case you didn't know. Support this idea if you want this idea to support you. :D

I hope you don't mind harsh feedback.

First of "because the ones we had just weren't cutting it" Seems like a rather bland starting point for a champion concept, but let's see what you made.

Theme: Music and Nature Visuals: Satyr is awfully close to Soraka Niche: Heals, Shields and disengage CC

Lore: Aside from some grammatical errors and a rather repetetive style (don't use his name all the time) the story is rather cliche and overlapps with Maokai (spirit of nature) and Bard (musical instrument / hardly ever intervenes).

Passive: Really depends on the scaling of his abilities, since that are potential + 80 AP (~1700 Gold) for free, but it's still a rather bland passive that doesn't really encourage any playstyle apart from grouping up. Q: Xerath E The stun duration is definetly too high and maybe reduce the scaling in favor of more base damage, since as support you don't want to build full AP. W: Soraka W Considering that Soraka has to deplete her own health to get a heal that is only slightly stronger (worst case only about 40 HP) this ability will probably be tied with a long CD and high cost to compensate. Lulu E The enemy cast doesn't really offer much apart from some poke and a self heal (again maybe increase Base damage and decrease scaling) E: Lulu E or Janna E It could be stronger since it doesn't offer any additional effect, but that also makes it very bland. R: The effects are definetly too powerfull. The AP increase can be very powerfull depending on the comp and the 3 second root and silence are too long and seem to have no counterplay (delay ?). Tune this ability down to one or maybe two aspects.

Overall: Since you have no mobility and hardly any long range poke or CC, this champion offers only disengage (ult and Q) and sustain (W and E), which is Jannas niche and honestly she covers it a lot better. His theme overlapps a lot with sona, since he doesn't really use his pyhsique or other talents and only plays his instrument, and his visuals collide with sorakas in my opinion (horned humanoid with goat legs). His kit is rather bland and offers no new interactions, mechanics or playstyles.

The idea of having a male pure healer is nice, but we already have champions that cover that aspect or fill the niche, so unless you can think of interesting interactions or mechanics to validate this champions existence I don't see something like him happening.

So you just put janna, soraka, and sona together. Way over powered abilities. Thats a thumbs down.
