Kais, the Bladesman of Fire and Ice

Kais is designed actually as a kit fitted to a drawing. Normally, I do the kits first, then the drawings. For Kais, however, I did a drawing a few months ago, and just now looked at it again and decided to put a kit to it. Kais brings an elemental maelstrom, his ultimate literally being a storm of ice and fire. He is an assassin designed with some crowd control and a decent amount of damage. http://evalgan-art.deviantart.com/art/Kais-the-Bladesman-of-Fire-and-Ice-573953231?ga_submit_new=10%253A1448260661 Lore: Kais had been an explorer for merely a year when he found what he was looking for. His grandfather’s blades, with which he had, 50 years ago, saved their homeland from one of the first of the Noxian invasions. Nobody expected them to hit that little village, even given its strategic point in Ionia. When his grandfather died, he left him a note with the insignia of their house on it, twin blades, one red and one blue. It read, “It’s time, Kais, for you to inherit the family’s swords. I bet you’d never have expected this at the age of seventeen, but you need to. I fear the Noxians are planning another invasion, soon. It’s the first one since I fought them off. They know that, by this point, I’m too old to fight back, so they can take the village. You will have to take up my blades and defend us, as I did years ago. They are where the blades fall and rise.” Kais, from this, knew exactly where to go to find them. The ninja academy. They had trained him when he was younger to wield dual blades, and now it was his time to use the training. He returned to the academy, where Master Shen greeted him. Shen tested Kais, making sure his skill with the sword was still sharp after five years away. Kais passed with ease, then collected his blades and returned to the village. When he arrived back, the village was under attack by the Noxians. He immediately dove into the fray, blades drawn, and struck down all the Noxians he could. When the villagers saw him with the blades, they immediately withdrew, knowing it would be best to leave him to do this himself. He hacked and slashed and struck his enemies down, each swing of his red blade bringing the fury of the flame upon his opponents, each swing of the blue bringing the cold bite of the Freljordian winter upon all it hit. The battle was a swift one, in which he stood the lone survivor, and when the people emerged from their homes, they found him, his clothes soaked in his enemies’ blood, and the corpses of the Noxians, some burnt and some frozen, around the hillside. He decided that this power mustn’t be used for anything other than the protection of his homeland. He joined the League to ensure that not even he would misuse the blades, knowing that if left alone, he would eventually. Passive: Elemental Blades Kais charges his weapons with every basic attack. At five charges, he will unleash a powerful attack on the target with both blades, applying a magic damage over time and a slow effect. The attack deals 130% damage. DoT: 30 + 5% of damage dealt Slow: 15% for 3 seconds. Increases to 30% at level 9 and 5 seconds at level 18

Q: Elemental Strike Kais attacks in front of him, swinging his blades twice each (total of four times.) Each hit deals damage and slows the target. A target hit by all four will be stunned for 1 second. Damage per Strike: 40/45/50/55/60 (+90% bonus AD) Slow: 25% for 2 seconds.

W: Chaos Flip Kais jumps to a target location, performing a flip while in the air and damaging anyone in the area where he lands. Killing an enemy champion with this ability will halve its cooldown. Damage: 60/70/80/90/100 (+60% AD)

E: Burning Ice Kais shoots a ball of ice, immediately followed by a cone of fire that lasts 4 seconds. Each will deal separate damage. The ice will stun enemies hit for 0.75 seconds. The fire will constantly damage all enemies in the area. Kais cannot cast other spells while the cone of fire is active, but he can use his basic attacks. Ice Damage: 50/60/70/80/90 (+65% AD) Fire Damage per Second: 30/40/50/60/70 (+50% AD) R: Infernal Blaze Kais surrounds himself in a fiery aura, dealing damage to enemies who come near him for 6 seconds. All of his basic attacks will trigger his passive as if he had stacked up and will dash him to the target if the target isn’t within melee range and is within 450 range of him. In addition, 10 ice shards will float around him for the duration. The ice shards will automatically fire themselves, one at a time, every time an enemy damages him at the enemy that damaged him. Note that it does count as a skill shot with automatic directional targeting, similar to Evelynn’s Q. The ice shard can miss, but if the enemy is in melee range it likely won’t. The shards float around the outer edge of their range of 700 units, shooting themselves inward whenever they fire. If they miss, they will instead fly towards Kais, healing him by a small amount if they hit him (they can also miss him if he’s moving around a lot.) If they miss entirely and go from one side to another, the ice shards will rejoin into the circle. Fire Damage per Second: 100/150/200 (+70% bonus AD) Ice Damage: 60/100/140 (+80% AD) Ice Healing: 4/5/6% missing health.

Thanks for reading my concept, and any feedback or questions sure are appreciated.

Hey! Here are my thoughts on your concept!

Lore: It's a pretty interesting piece of lore but it contradicts itself. The league of Legends is around to prevent conflicts like this from happening, they stop fights between city states and instead settle their differences with league matches. Riot reconnected the lol because it prevented anything from happening. But in you lore that retcon never happened so Nxus and Ionia cannot be at war with summoners coming in and stopping everything.

Passive: This is rather odd with his kit. His kit encourages him to build attack speed but the rest of his kit focuses mainly around AD based spells.

Q: Is this channel like Pantheon's E or can he move around while using it? Also how long does it take to channel? The time makes a really big difference in this skills strength.

W: Seeing as this is your gapcloser you're not going to get many kills with it so the cd reduction is not very helpful.

R: Kind of OP in my opinion. the Ice shard have the potential to do an absolute insane amount of damage, it heals him, it buffs his AAs, it even gives him a gapcloser. It just gives him way too much. It also contradicts the assassin play style as with this he just wants to run into the battlefield and hack everyone apart.

Identity: You say he's an assassin but most of his damage is DOT rather than burst. Like with most traditional assassins like Talon or Leblanc their combos destroys you in seconds. Kais has a very delayed burst. He Ws to a target Es them and follows with a Q to stun and then finishes them off with his AA's. His combo is really slow compared to other assassins it's just something i wanted to point out. I could see him being played a bruiser as well.

Overall: Not a bad start but could use some work. Some of your abilities don't really match with the other parts of the kit and your lore is a bit contradictory.
