ok people :D its finally possible >:) i suuck at drawing or even any form of art and bringing this champ to life required that well this is just a hobby of mine so i dont want to bother and go the extra mile to pay someone who actually knows how to draw so i can see trickle come to life so instead i went to microsoft paint and tested my mettle so i apologize to drawing experts here in the community or microsoft paint experts for my cheeky attempt to " draw " trickle my own champ creation and also fortunately i like composing and im pretty adept at playing the Piano so i composed a lengthy trickle Log in screen theme if ever RIOT made Trickle official xD in an alternate universe , anyways i did it and one more suggestion for you guys here , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImWejhq8MRI&feature=youtu.be , this is the youtube link of the Trickle log in piano theme i made and it would be nice if yall give it a try and listen to it while reading Trickle's Lore and short story oh and this link is the " art " i imagined Trickle would look like , feel free to send me a better version of it cause im a super bronze noob at drawing / art ( i dont even know the basics ) :D anyways without further delay lets dive into it

Lore : “ Marrow Mark a bazaar market in The vicinity of shurima has more to it than what it seems , the “ imbroglio “ was the behemoth of legend in which this shady and bustling bazaar now stood from , unbeknownst to inhabitants what caused this beast To meet its end in the first place . “ - champion “ Trickle “ details coming soon xD Ok enough role play , like how Riot usually does adding subtle hints inside summoner’s rift heralding an incoming new champ , now if this was gonna be legit then the rift would be rainy and waters would invade the lanes and jungle in a subtle gentle manner just like in rain forests and not just completely contained in the rift’s rivers . this is Trickle by the way https://gyazo.com/03d8b99f0005f71b6c084e233b30d071 , and then this one is its " Blessing Form " https://gyazo.com/7bd72ab04f211f55f32d067385de13a7 while this one is its " Harvest " Form https://gyazo.com/636d702aa1c0070cebc9b2dcb5de7cff

more lore ! ( a short story about " Trickle " from the perspective of a Gritty Bounty Hunter turned explorer named " Edge " who cant go a place without his trusty journal to archive his adventures and misadventures )

" why are Marrow Mark Taverns so stinky ? ayee , id rather have a weewhile nap in the shadow isles than spend one more stinking minute in those damp accursed taverns -- the only reason i put up with this place is because those damn merchants would pay generous coins for slaying them desert raptors violent beasts and can be tamed too and the raptor elders they give 3 times the bounty they are quite sturdy but less violent the only danger involved cause they are usually swarmed by juveniles and may also mean more raptors are in the area when you see one , but i dont know why they want those creatures extinct at all.. ahh , ive gone soft havent i ? ever since i met that ol friendly " Tree guy " ive been questioning my actions , anyways dawn is near and im still halfway out of the endless plains , if i dont hurry up ill be raptor breakfast or worse get chased around by the " Desert Queen " my tools are about depleted ive got about 2 clips left from this shooting contraption i got from a black market during my visit in bilgewater >:) ayeee i kid you not , this thing shoots a small Harpoon that lodges deep , and it explodes ! aint that efficient ? ahhh inventions these days , still nothing beats newly bought daggers and stilletos , ohh this potion should keep me happy and alive for a weewhile ( edge drinks the said potion to gain a little more " edge " as he traverses towards the deepest recess of the endless plains killing desert raptors and carnivorous moving cacti along the way ) Mount Targon we meet again but for different reason this time , now where is that pesky man turuth :/ that guy has keen eyes he said he saw an island far to the west of Mount targon that was uncharted and offered me an expensive compact vessel to sail from saying " you will thank me later , this is a steal , also think of this as thanks for getting me to safety while raiders tried to strip me of my belongings while i was drunk inside one of them shuriman taverns " ehh turns out the man didnt even come here to wish me luck for my journey all he left was the vessel i paid the damn weasel already anyways maybe im just getting lonely.. also , i knew using the " ZOANTA CASCADE " as a means of shortcut is a very bad idea and at this point i dont even want to talk about what ive been through there.. bottom line is , im here in mount targon setting up camp before sailing tomorrow all the decent food i have with me is already stored inside the vessel cabin and im stuck here making do with burnt raptor meat and mallow cacti as means of water sustenance -_- i swear all i do is complain but ye cant blame me :/ i miss shuriman poached eggs no I NEED SHURIMAN POACHED EGGS !! ( edge's screams echo around the vast Mount targon as he prepares to travel towards the uncharted island early in the morning ) the seas were rowdy enough to scare any other mercenaries or raiders , but not me im an explorer by heart now and im not gonna falter from this >:) not now ! im the going to be the founder of this island bwahahaheehhe ol Edge will show em , priceless artifacts maybe ? wildlife that fetch unimaginable prices from those greedy merchants >:) ahhh the prospect its making me shake in excitement i am in my prime after all

As i set foot in this island i was perplexed , the creatures in this place are all so tamed and perfectly coexisting i explore everynook and cranny its budding with life but at the same time its pretty melancholic , ive killed some creatures for sustenance and i kid you not... these buggers tasted unlike any other delicacy ive ever experienced it far surpasses even the products they serve in Demacia :/ it filled me with enough vigor to be completely worry free about my stay in seemingly new world ive stumbled upon , it is like a vast jungle brimming with life and balance ( after 3 days Edge continues writing ) ive been here for 2 days and aye ive even considered living here all that is left is to find a woman in these isles and just settle down ya know ? heheh but ol edge cant settle yet.. IM IN MY PRIME >:) but as i reached the center of this Lush island things dipped to a more serious tone , ive seen it... i dont know what to make of it i saw a humanoid creature.. it was Floating.. by the gods ! , i trembled in fear and awe.. it has a pretty unique looking head :/ with a violet crest in its forehead , much like runes of old ? this one looks way more ancient , it has pitchblack eyes im pretty lucky it didnt notice me ( edge's hands trembled as he kept writing ) ive never seen such beatiful fur before aye ! im not sure what to make of it it looks more like a rugged Cape but its just bloody majestic and pristine :o but enough of that THOSE ARE PRETTY UGLY LOOKING HANDS ! they are huge and long very sturdy and strong.. some parts looks transparent and oozing with circulating different colored liquids that what seems like every nutrients and life from the land was pressed in its very veins yet its other features are just about the same size as me but the legs are quite short in comparison to its freaking arms.. also , There is this big Circular object hovering behind the creature , slowly turning in a soothing and peaceful manner it glows in a shining blue hue , im starting to think to myself have i trodded into a place that is meant to be hidden far away from runaterra ? is this creature a diety perhaps ? i want to know but i am too scared to conront this sentient being.. it floats effortlessly - ( before Edge could turn around and maybe go back to the camp he set up near the edge of the island the creature starts Shrieking in a defeaning and unsettling manner , the circular object in its back starts churning furiously and alas the creature starts growing in size the top of its head blooms into a big flower like object and an overwhelming array of black threads starts spewing from it as it touches the ground , the island starts to tremor every wild life and plants , trees , starts to grow and evolve into a much bigger and efficient form of themselves and even Edge himself grew in height and strength , now scared and in horror he runs as fast as he could towards the edge of the island without feeling any kind of fatigue or stress as he cried and cried atop the cliff and he didnt bother to look back , he launched himself towards the sea securing the journal inside a portable container he brought with him while searching the island before he hit the water his whole life flashed before his mind including his recent memory of his last words he wrote in his journal before securing it inside the container " LEAVE THE ISLAND TO THE WEST OF MOUNT TARGON ALONE !!!! " ( A trembling young noxian closes the fully read old journal as he heads out in the open to help deal with a now " Harvest form Trickle " invading Runaterra . - End of Lore

So here are my thoughts good and bad(trying to help with constructive criticism here):

The Passive doesn't actually change the champion, only during 15s windows, so that's good. We have Kayn for permanent transformation.

Q is mostly fine, however the cd needs to be linear. Example: 9/8/7/6/5 not 9/8.5/6/4/2.98. Always keep the scaling per level to be the same each time. No drop offs or spikes. Also, the cd gets way too low for a healing ability. Think Morde W in terms of cd, it gets down to 8s at rank 5(closer to 4.4 with 45% cdr) and is melee range. This would get to 1.8. Minimum should be like 4 seconds, so 7-ish on rank 5 cd bare minimum, given the range though I'd say 9 would be a good rank 5 cd, as it'll be HUGE harass in top lane.

E should have longer cd that is refreshed by 50% if you miss your 1st mark. Like 14s, since it chunks tanks hp pretty heavily. Remember 45% cdr. 14 = 7.7. Also make it start higher in %hp damage since it's essentially a 3 hit skill shot and only the 1st hit deals damage. Like 10/11.5/13/14.5/16%.

W. Umm... Well mostly it's okay, since you lose huge ar/mr when on cd. Good balance there. Just make numbers linear. 20/27.5/35/42.5/50 is my suggestion. Very situational, which is good.

R seems kinda 1-sided?

Light Side: Why choose Light side? Make Q shoot out more healing projectiles while active, like 5, enough for the entire team. Otherwise you gain way too much strength from dark side.

Dark side: How about instead of adding a flat amount+percent of ap... Convert all AD into bonus AP? Remove bonus flat AP + spell vamp(since you're choosing this OVER healing) and keep it normal, as you already enhance E, and light form doesn't affect W or E currently. Change 3 proc E into applying damage on 2nd mark as well instead of just 1st. So 1st damage, 2nd damage, 3rd hp proc.

Those are my thoughts for improving. Also W and E are backwards. And he is waaay slow :P Nice concept!

Alrighty. This is quite the concept. The kit is very..... well it seems like it would take forever for anything to get done. Every ability is very long and has elongating mechanics. Let's break this down:

Q The cooldown measurements are pretty janky and also way too low to be a harassment tool AND a heal that scales off of damage. That allows for Trickle to build like a mage for damage but scale into healing better than most other healers since it potentially heals up to 3 champions. How Q interacts with her ult is fine, but doubling a primary abilities range from 950 to 1900 is PREEEETTY insane, especially with the cooldown it has.

W This gave me a sudden tank vibe instead of a healing damage dealer. Passive resistances that do not correlate with her already natural scaling resistances is really strong on a tank and tanks don't (or aren't supposed to -_-) do damage, so imagine this on a damage focused champion. I understand the trade-off of using the ability removes these resistances, but that just means it makes a very strong anti-poke/laning phase tool and an all-in/escape tool. Then there is the CD. 16 seconds on rank 1 is wack. I think yasuo's wind wall is close to the mid 20's, which is a directional skill that can be worked around. Galio's damage reduction ability goes from 20-40% (excluding scaling) PHYSICAL damage reduction with a 16-12 cd on a tankier character meant to be in the center of the fight. You see where I'm getting at with this?

E Pretty ok with it. I'm assuming the cast time windows are pretty small because that provides a decent amount of mobility that leads to a big chunk of damage and constant CC.

R Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Harvest form is pretty busted. Blessing form seems out of place.

Overall Kit This whole kit seems to not really an identity. It's a bunch of abilities that don't harmonize into a coherent play style. An harassing ability that scales well into healing with damage output, extreme defenses that might be punishable, but more likely than not will just be frustrating to play against, a mobility ability that leads to a heavy tank burst and CC, and an adaptable ult that allows for EXTREME damage boosts and survivability or exponentially boosted healing and tankiness. I never really understood where Trickle is supposed to be played. She seems to a master in all the lanes; A mega flex pick that isn't very punishable. She seems to be a tank enchanter on steroids.

Lore Enjoyed it thoroughly. A god-like creature that is graceful but holds the tender frame of the world in its ignorantly herculean palm. Anything could happen without explanation and it could be the will of Trickle; Falls into the realm of Bard mysticality.
