Hey guys :D I was really bored so I decided to make a bunch of champion concept ideas. One of them is Kalan - The Insight

The TLDR version: Since Zed and Talon are basically the only mid lane AD melee assassins I wanted to add a third one!

Kalan is currently not finished yet but I wanted to know what you guys think about him so far :)

It's my first time creating a champion concept and I saw a bunch of other ones and noticed they have TONS more detail. But even so, I hope you guys enjoy :3. Constructive criticism is welcome!

NOTE: I'm only a low Gold player so I have no idea if these matchups/items are true or not.

Good items to build on Kalan:

One ability has more effects than the entire kit of some champions xD

(please note that this is just my opinion, you are the creator and get to do what you wish with him)

I like the concept of him (slowly builds stacks on someone until he goes for the throat) but I feel like you could do a little bit more with that. I feel like you could have the Q and W work like the E, with it gaining effects the more stacks that are on them rather then them just gaining power.

I think that getting a free reset on his ult is a little powerful (granted Darius and Katarina do the same thing), I'd almost say have it lower the cooldown instead and then the amount lowered increases with ranks. Since his ult doesn't really do anything with ranks other than cooldown (that will most likely be refunded).

This also might just be me not understanding, be his personality/quotes doesn't seem to match with his kit sometimes. Such as his line to Jhin saying "I would kill you, but killing a murderer makes me one as well." It just seems weird for an assassin character talk about not killing people. Same with "a killer attacks, an assassin observes." I think it's because an assassin is a person who is suppose to be effective at killing. So I don't know if assassin is the best term for him lore wise (gameplay wise he fits it). Just my weird view on it.

Glad to see someone make a new assassin and thank you for reading my thoughts.
