Kym was once a Marai and was the chosen Tidecaller, and she set off on her quest to retrieve an abyssal pearl. She faced many horrors and with each one she grew more insane, and broken. At last she could see the pearl and she swam to it, but then she heard a faint whisper that said "Come Kym Your people will fear you for you are Broken and Warped", and it was true Kym's Beautiful multicolored scales were now dark blue, her Marvelous tail had fanned out and turned Greenish black. She called back "but what about the quest?" The Voice laughed "Your people already send someone to replace you." Kym Snarled. She never liked the Marai any way, she liked to use more force, while the were more passive. So she followed the voice and it lead her to a shrine glowing purple In the water. In the shrine Laid a Staff That Irradiated Dark Energy. without thinking Kym dropped her coral staff and Grabbed the Other. As soon as she touched it She felt a Surge of power. She smiled, It felt good. The voice Spoke "Now Kym Exact Revenge on the one who was Chosen After you, LET HER FEEL THE POWER OF THE DARK TIDE!"

Needs much more clarification about the exact functionality of abilities, but the general thematic idea is excellent.

Q's stun duration scales incredibly hard with levels; either the stun is too strong, or the mana cost needs to increase to compensate. Quite aside from that, though, it feels incredibly similar to Zyra's Grasping Roots. My idea is to give it a new mechanic where hitting the first target would cause the wave to split in half around it, shooting two new projectiles at approximately a 25-30 degree angle behind the initial target, hitting new targets for a portion of the original stun duration.

W probably needs to be scrapped entirely. The passive is boring, and the active is already used elsewhere (you have a combination of Rek'Sai's Tremor Sense and Quinn's Heightened Senses). Something more interactive and/or unique is needed here.

E's duration is faaar too long. 4 seconds would pretty much destroy the entire enemy team if Kym flashed in and hit all of them with it. Knock that down by at least half and it's much more fair.

As for R, I'm going to assume an AP build with about 500 AP, and see what kind of damage that does. I'm going to ignore the AP scaling on the bonus damage for each successive hit, because that just complicates things without really adding to the point. The first hit does 700 damage. And each hit after that does 770 + 847 + 931 + 1025 + 1127, meaning that the best-case scenario deals a whopping 5400 damage. Needs an enormous nerf just to balance out that incredibly powerful best case, even if it would be nearly impossible to achieve.

Don't get me wrong, though; semi-homing missiles sound amazingly fun to work with.

Keep going, you're on the right track!

Kym is too much like the sea storm goddes name ( I believe you read Percy Jackson?:/ ) and her abilities are much 2 strong. Also you need to be more professional. Does her Q pass through enemies, if so its OP.
