New Western Champion

I'm going to start by saying I just wrote this up real quick, for fun. What started of my thoughts was because I was listening to some of the best of the old spaghetti western music, and wanted to play a champion who was had the same feelings as the those westerns.

When I looked through them, I found some nice skins, but only three champions actually really seemed close to the cowboys in those movies; graves, twisted fate, and yasuo.

So, thinking about a new champion with the idea of a traveling cowboy, the ideas below just struck me, and started to form a interesting champion. I mostly just chose numbers that felt right, so it's likely this character would not be very balanced in this form; any thoughts or comments would be welcome ;)

The character seems best from Shurima. The dusty desert feeling from that place felt right for a western character. The new aspects of design is to make a wandering character(similar to bard), but instead is either a top laner or jungler. In addition, my hope is to avoid the whole wandering to random places minigame, and instead have him kinda show up in lane, do something to balance things out in your teams favor, then leave again. In other words, I want him to be very helpful for a laner who is doing badly, but not as helpful for a laner who is doing very well. Also, having hextech revolver as a primary item would make me very happy, for obvious reasons ;) Without further ado, his abilities.

Passive: Wandering Traveler Gains flow by distance moved(similar to yasuo). Once he reaches 100 flow, he gains 20% increased movement speed until he deals damage to an enemy champion.

Q: Precise shooter Cooldown[24/22/20/18/16] Target an enemy. The enemy is visibility marked, and this ability changes to a long-range skillshot for 6 seconds.(Goes on cooldown immediately) It deals 60/120/180/240/300[+2 per physical damage] magic damage if it hits, but can only hit the chosen enemy. [Note: the missile speed should be faster than most, since it's obvious who you're trying to hit.]

W: 6-shots Passive: Gains a charge every 30/25/20/15/10 second(s) while out of combat, up to 6 charges(having not dealt or have dealt damage for 3 seconds). When dealing damage with an ability while he has a charge, it deals an additional 1/2/3/4/5%[+.05 per bonus ability power] of the enemy's current health in magic damage. Then lose a charge. Active: His next autoattack deals an additional 1%[+.01/.02/.03/.04/.05 per bonus physical damage] of the enemy's current health in physical damage. Then lose a charge.

E: Danger's Friend Cooldown[20/18/16/14/12 seconds] Passive: When dealt damage that would bring him below 30% health, he drains his flow at a rate of 20% per second to heal 16/32/48/64/80[+.25 per ability power] health each second. This doesn't prevent him from gaining flow during this time, but does stop his movement speed increase. Active: Reduce the duration of any movement disables by 1 second for 2/3/4/5/6 seconds. Gain increased flow based on his bonus physical damage[extra flow gained per 1 flow gained normally; +.02/.04/.06/.08/.1 bonus physical damage] for this duration.

R: Stand-off Cooldown[100/80/60 seconds] Passive: +10/20/30% bonus move speed with his passive. Active: Gains maximum charges on his "6-shots". Channels for 3 seconds, or until he runs out of "6-shots" charges. During this duration, if he is damaged by an enemy champion, he auto-attacks the enemy(if they are in autoattack range). All auto-attacks made during this time activate the "6-shots" extra physical damage. If a target marked by "Precise shooter" deals damage to him, he auto-attacks them, using the range of the "Precise shooter" ability instead of his normal auto-attack range. Gains 1 charge of "6-shots" for every enemy champions damaged during this channel.

Final notes: I could imagine him being a female character as well, but then he seemed too similar to miss fortune then(not to mention most spaghetti western characters are male?) I was thinking that the channel could be cancelled, but would still get at least one shot on the person who stopped the channel. I'll add more if need be.

sounds good. makes another use for yasuo passive type so they could reuse code from that if they wanted.
