[Champion Concept] Locreth, The Darkin Rune
I had been thinking about a new character whose moveset allowed a lot of possibilities, something that added a fresh way to play, watching videos here and there, I started thinking about a rune mage, not like ryze, but something far more superior, able to summon the forces of the nature with the use of a single rune each, and only a Darkin would be worthy of this power, Locreth was born this way
LORE
Locreth was a Darkin that feasted on the negative emotions, it found really amusing to use letters to confuse, to enrage, to provoke its victims, to make them kill each other, and feed on the pain, suffering, and from its point of view, the beauty of the carnage.
Investigating new ways to make people's mind break, he found that he could distill those emotions and thoughts into a delicate liquid, a fine ink, the Soul Ink.
He kept on feeding like he always did, until one day the Soul Ink of a man taught it the power of the runes. Locreth studied them, and found that by using the powerfull Soul Ink, a single rune became far stronger than hundreds of runes together. The path was clear, Locreth transformed its old weapon of carnage in a gauntlet with forbidden runes embeded, and started using the Soul Ink to make a new kind of art, the art of death and absolute despair.
Moveset
Passive
Ink river:
Locreth lacks mana, instead uses soul ink as resource. Every spell will have a ink cost, increasing the more complex the glyps he draws become. Soul ink comes from thoughs, living beings generate passive soul ink and Locreth takes it by stepping close to them, emotions like pain or fear boost the ink generation on a living being (every enemy or neutral unit will have a small number over their heads telling how much ink will Locreth take from them if they get close)
Soul ink overload causes a backlash on the attacking enemy, when the ink is overloaded, Locreth it is able to counter damage (0.5 damage taken + 0.2 soul ink overload + 0.7 ap), being attacked drains soul ink to the max limit before overloading, where it starts accumulating again
Q
Soul Rune:
Passive effect:
Locreth gets 6 fixed runes as passive in the HUD as he levels from 1 to 18, allowing him to use the spells related to those runes as he unlocks them, he will make aditional random runes appear all over the field (one every 15 minutes in a random location of the battlefield less fountains), if they appear in a wall or in the floor, interacting with them will reward Locreth with that rune for his Q spells, if the rune appears embedded in a monster (or even turret), that monster with get a extra power and Locreth must kill or assist in killing it to get the desired rune.
-Locreth can steal enemy Locret's runes if he finds them first
Active:
While the key is pressed, Locreth is unable to move, the cursor start releasing ink, allowing the user to draw a rune that only he can see (this gives less counterplay, but is better to avoid obscene drawings), if a rune is drawed correctly, it will release a corresponding spell in a small-medium area, depending on the used rune (drawing it bigger has no effect), once the q button is released, movement is possible again (if the movement is forced on Locreth, by being devoured by Tahm Kench, using flash, or being grabbed by Blitzcrank, the drawing will be anulated)

The moveset is kinda long, and it might look a bit overloaded, but i think the advantages and disadvantages of this moveset are well balanced, i would like to hear anyone's opinion about this moveset, being that it likes or dislikes it, and ways to improve it
