The depths of Ionia can be, strange. Many would argue that they're dark. But to the magic wielders of Ionia they know them as a place of dense power. One individual [Zed] Described them to his clan as a training ground of blades. Deep within there live warrior mages whom live to spread lethal magic through their blades. Zersek, a promising wandering whom had been taken into the teachings, wished for nothing but power underneath is modest exterior. He had risen to a point where the grand masters had allowed him into their order and allowed him knowledge of the Blade of the creator. He saw this as the ultimate power and after many weeks of preparation, Had gone rouge, murdering students teachers and masters alike, until he had the blade within his sight, He had found his goal, power. Limitless power. But when he had tried to grasp the blade, it emitted a shockwave which would even startle the darkest mage of Ionia [Syndra] And soon after a whirlwind of dark energy had engulfed the temple and all near it. a storm of power raged for several nights and days, wreaking havoc against anything that neared. Once it died. Villagers and warriors alike flocked to a crater to find a lone soul, pulsing with the same dark energy. When the warriors tried subduing him though, blades erupted from his arms and torso, piercing all that came near fatally. Zersek had came too and realized, He had become the blade of the creator. He had attained his own form of ascension. A true test of this ascension was to conqueror all of the worlds mightiest warriors, in the league of legends.

HP:483 (+74 per level) AD:67 (1.83 per level) Mana:362 (73 per level) HPR:1.5(+ .83 per level) Mana regen: 2(+1 per level) Armor:27(2 per level) MR:48 (+ 2 per level)

Passive:Power for blood The blade inside Zersek hungers, giving .35AD per minion slain and +5 for each champion kill,

Q:bloody cleave [20-50 mana 8/7/6/5/4 CD] Zersek sprouts blades from his arms and swings them in an arc in front of him slashing each enemy within a short radius for 20-140 damage (+.8% Bonus AD) and causing bleeding damage for 23-74 damage (+.2% bonus AD)

W:Bladed armor As Zersek grasps his power, his body protrudes protective blades granting 5/10/15/20/25 armor and also reflects 5-50 damage back at attackers

E:Blade Rush (100 mana at all levels, 18-10s cd) Zersek slams his hands into the ground and rushes to a targeted area, passing through units and walls, leaving a trail of blades that slow for 15% and deal 15-70 (+ .35% of max AD and .60% of max AP) as bonus physical damage

R:Blade Of the Creator (250 mana at all levels, 130/100/80s cd) Zersek brings forth the blade from within, forming it with both of his arms before swinging it downward into the earth in a straight but wide line, dealing 250/350/450 physical damage (+1.2% of max AD) This Damage becomes TRUE damage if the target is below 10/12/15% of their max HP.

Zersek is a being who retains his human form, He keeps a torn red shawl over the lower half of his face and shoulders while he wears Red sashes across his lower body over top his martial arts pants [think lee sin pants] He stands a staggering 7ft tall with a rather skinny but well built frame, on his feet he wears nothing so as to use his blades more freely. His hair a mess of black and red strands that linger down his back and front of his face to hide his dim red eyes

Lines [just come ideas anyway]

Starting the game: Observe perfection and weep

Movement: A blade moves straight through all Resistance means nothing to such a thin blade

Attacking: Worthless. Begone. Dull edges are un-needed

Joke:[Zersek forms his arm into a blunt blade and hits a stump, smashing it] Sometimes I wish i was a hammer.

Taunting an enemy Riven:Your blade and will have shattered, You no longer bear the right to call yourself a warrior.

Taunting an enemy tryndamere: Your blade thirsts for rage and battle. Shall i end its hunger?

Taunting an enemy Aatrox: Your blade is a husk compared to me!

Taunting an enemy Xerath: A true ascendant being doesn't hide behind such sorcery like a coward.

Taunting an enemy Yasuo: Unforgiven one, come unto me so that i may purge you of your sins, your blade is sullied and does not belong to you anymore.

Taunting an enemy Zed: Your teachings helped my masters, now let me use them to help end you!

Purchasing an infinity edge: At last, my power is truly infinte.

Buying a bloodthirster: Let my blades bathe in blood.

Buying a Phantom dancer: Two swords, Two lives.

Buying a zephyr: The wind courses along my blades.

Buying a zephyr with an enemy janna in the game [can be heard by the other team]: The Wind favours me Janna!

And thats it for now, give me some suggestions if you want, hes either sounding really weak or really strong, not sure how other people will view him.

also i came up with this in 10 mins so its not the most detailed. cut me some slack. also if someone would draw up a picture that'd be a fine thing to do.

The kit feels like Top, Jungle or Mid. There are still a lot of problems with this kit that would make him op. Overall his kit has alot of utility for a mid but too much scaling damage for a top (even if your Nasus ). I didn't bother checking any stats other than AD and the kit.

Passive:Power for blood The blade inside Zersek hungers, giving .35AD per minion slain and +5 for each champion kill,

Passive is too strong. Essentially your making old Nasus Who just farmed up passive, which dealt it both on AA and abilities. Nasus is balance now because it does give AD but stacks on one of his abilities. If you want to keep it to apply to AD bonus. i would knock it down to .1 AD on minion and .5 on Champion, Large minion or Large monster. I would personally have it as a stack system like Nasus 's Siphon Strike. Make the stacks only apply to either Auto attacks or Abilities (I feel like riot would do the same).

Q:bloody cleave [20-50 mana 8/7/6/5/4 CD] Zersek sprouts blades from his arms and swings them in an arc in front of him slashing each enemy within a short radius for 20-140 damage (+.8% Bonus AD) and causing bleeding damage for 23-74 damage (+.2% bonus AD)

Compared to Nasus 's Siphoning Strike. This does more damage early game. With everything at lvl 1 before armor you deal 20+53.6 (73.6) and Bleed 23+13.4 (36.4) For a total of 110. Which is slightly less than a quarter of health of a base health sona (482hp)(22%) and you are dealing it as an AoE which mean your life steal would be crazy with a item 1055 early game. And you deal it to the minions as well which Melee minions are 455hp(24%) & Caster minion 290hp (37.9%). If you timed it correctly and AA'd i'm sure you could clear a wave just by activating this twice. You will need to reduce this damage but here is an idea. You can have this damage but only if Bloody Cleave deals to only one champion (kinda like Khazix 's Taste their fear Isolated mechanic.) I haven't checked late game but there is work needed to be early game

W:Bladed armor As Zersek grasps his power, his body protrudes protective blades granting 5/10/15/20/25 armor and also reflects 5-50 damage back at attackers

There is no variable scaling on this, no mana or timing so i'm guessing it's a passive. This would make him a very sinister counter pick against any AD laner early game. With his actual Passive (power for blood) His peak curve just doesn't die. Not to mention with bruiser bot with Taric it would be problematic against a typical ADC/Support bot laning phase. The reflect damage would kill any chance of them trying to kill you early and push poke supports that use AA. I think there is no room for this W passive.

R:Blade Of the Creator (250 mana at all levels, 130/100/80s cd) Zersek brings forth the blade from within, forming it with both of his arms before swinging it downward into the earth in a straight but wide line, dealing 250/350/450 physical damage (+1.2% of max AD) This Damage becomes TRUE damage if the target is below 10/12/15% of their max HP.

You got a very evil ult here... too evil. You got a Darius Aoe Noxian Guillotine mated with a Rumble's Equalizer ... .The mana cost is very hefty especially at lvl 6. (probably to offset the damage) Considering that base Noxian guillotine has a lower scaling and does it to one champion (unless reset). It's alot of burst in an instant and you and your teammates are punished heavily if you miss (if don't have item 3028 mana regen.[Which is geting reworked]) This need works specially since it is very costly high damage channel ability.

Happy Urf Day. (P.S. Now there are too many AD mids now and days.)
