Champion Concept: Varian, the Psionicist

I don't have any lore made for this character, nor do I have any art for it (can't be artistic to save my life, unfortunately) meanwhile the lore I wouldn't have a problem with, I just haven't put any thought into his (or even her, Varian is a genderless name, apparently, though I did pick the name up from a female character) story at all, just the skill set. But I have the abilities fleshed out, and the numbers are very preliminary, I have no idea what would be too weak or strong, and I just based most of them on preexisting abilities. This was also the first Champion I actually decided to try drafting out on paper, several months ago, I just never really wanted to submit it until now. So it goes as follows:

Passive: Extrasensory Perception: Links to selected enemy Champion’s mind, giving Varian’s abilities bonus effects when used on the linked champion (Works similarly to Kindred’s passive with the marking, though the link remains on the same champion until manually changed).

Q: Psychic Blast (4 sec. CD): Sends a blast of psychic energy, stopping at the first enemy hit and dealing 70/90/11/130/150 (+40% AP) magic damage. Passive bonus: Against the linked Champion, deals 15% increased damage and heals 10/20/30/40/50 (+15% AP) health.

W: Mind Crush (15/14/13/12/11 sec. CD): Crushes the target enemy's mind, dealing 90/105/120/135/150 (+55% AP) magic damage and silencing them for 1 second. Passive bonus: Deals a small (~5-15 at most) percentage of the damage as true damage, and increases the silence duration to 1.5.

E: Remote Transmutation (20/18/16/14/12 sec. CD): Sends a blast at the target enemy, dealing 60/85/110/135/160 (+35% AP) magic damage and reconstructs their defenses, reducing their Armor and MR by 10/15/20/25/30 each for 5 seconds. Passive bonus: The Armor/MR debuff lasts longer, and transfers the stats to the caster.

R: Mirror: Blinks to a target location, leaving a controllable clone at the position it was casted at. The clone lasts 20 seconds and mimics the actions of the caster, dealing reduced damage with replicated abilities. Passive bonus: Instead of creating a clone of the caster, it will create a clone of the linked enemy Champion, which makes the clone copy the marked enemy Champion’s spellcasts (The closest thing I can compare it to is Zed's W, but when it copies an enemy Champ's spells, it puts them in the opposite direction, so if someone was to shoot a skillshot in your direction, the clone would shoot the same skillshot in the opposite direction. Not entirely sure how it would work with non skillshots though. Just kinda something I thought sounded pretty neat).

As a last note, again, the numbers are pretty much things I spliced together, the whole balancing process isn't my forte, and the ult would probably be a total nightmare to work with, but I enjoyed putting it together. Just hope it wasn't a too long or dense read, especially considering I'll most likely end up posting another concept I've had for a while today, which might be a bit longer. Hope it was enjoyable to those that read it, at least, and have a nice day
