Ao Shin - Kit Concept
Don't get me wrong, I am so incredibly stoked for Aurelion Sol - but I can't give up on the Storm Dragon I've been waiting on for three years. I've been playing around in my head with what kind of kit would fit the niche I expected to find the dragon in, and I think I have something that, if not perfect, might get some of the champion designers' thinking.
Anyway, I'll quit blabbing and just get on with it.
Primary Role: Support Secondary Role: Tank
Passive: OVERCAST Ao Shin leaves a trail of clouds in his wake that refresh his allies and hinder his opponents. Ao Shin can modify these clouds with his abilities. (Health/Mana or Resource regen up for allies, movement speed/vision reduced for enemies? Think like Singed's poison, only, ya know, clouds.)
Q - HAILSTORM Ao Shin causes his nearby clouds to drop heavy hailstones, slowing and damaging enemies struck for a short duration. The clouds are consumed when this effect ends. (make it rain-I MEAN HAIL.)
W - BREATH OF FOG PASSIVE: Increases the duration and/or effects of Ao Shin's clouds Ao Shin breathes out a wreath of clouds in a circle around him.
E - DELUGE Ao Shin triggers his clouds to rain, increasing their passive effects and boosting allied movement speed.
R - TYPHOON Ao Shin breathes deep and channels briefly as he inhales, drawing nearby enemies closer to him (or slowing them if they try to move away) (think like a tornado). At the end of the channel, bolts of lightning arc off the Storm Dragon, bouncing from champion to champion, damaging enemies and invigorating allies, boosting their movement and attack speed.
Anyway, that's about it. I wanted to get something to match the initial tease of Ao Shin as a Storm-based support capable of bringing ruin upon his enemies and supporting his allies in a breath. I grew up in a very stormy area and have always, always loved dragons, so I hope that at some point Ao Shin can be dusted off and brought from his shelf to the LoL table.
Thank you for your time, and good day.
