Drydak, the Primordial Elder (AD Support)

Below is just a concept for my own small attempt at an original gameplay champion. I haven't made any of these before, so I'll try my best.

[Basics] Race: Possibly Darkin or Celestial? Appearance: ------- , Hooded robes, natural levitation. Class summary: AD-Focused which can be used as a variety of lanes. (Possibly even the jungle?) (Could prominently be an odd support or jungler.)

[Lore] Drydak comes from a time since passed, his age is unknown, if he even ages. Despite having immense power, he refuses to make his presence fully known. Only a few tell the tales of a muse-like being that appears to bring encouragement to those that need it. Most of the stories say he inspires soldiers to fight for their cause valiantly, and to help him with sometimes odd tasks. One such task was noted when he lead a small company of soldiers into a tomb guarded by several undead, to uncover an odd idol bursting with indigo energy. He then disappeared with said idol, without a trace. Some say he speaks to soldiers to build his own forces, to one day overtake something, or to fight some far off war only he knows about. Some visions of him involve him taking an actual physical appearance of a mage, or a valiant armored fighter. He fought with an amazingly complex blade of purely vibrant color, piercing all that came in contact with it.

[Abilities]

Personally, the concept seems to make him seem like a jack of all trades. And somehow three different champions in one.

Passive: Muse Drydak can choose to connect with an ally or himself(one time only), which carries several different effects: Ally: If Drydak is nearby, he gains 40% of the gold collected by the connected ally. - His abilities change to a defensive stance, rather than offensive. - His abilities can scale off of armor and magic resist. Dealing damage based on such. (He appears as more of a armored mage)

Himself: He becomes more of a fighter/mage. - His abilities scale on AD, only his W scales on AP. - He gains armor equal to 5% of his AD. - He cannot critically strike. At all. All crit chance is changed to Cooldown Reduction equal to 10% of the bought crit chance. - His E (which is prominent in all kits), Heroic Advance does not provide defense buffs to his nearby allies.

Neither(leaving it dormant): He seems to suffer as he gains levels, but gains some AD and more global presence and weaker but wider buffs. - For every level past 6, his maximum health drops, but AP scales go up an additional 48%

(now to the abilities)

[Ally is Mused] Q: Grand Glaive - Drydak sends out a Glaive that slows enemies hit, he deals damage based on his armor and magic resist. This deals 120% damage to jungle monsters, and resets if Drydak kills a jungle monster with this ability.

W: _Raise Guardian Elemental _- Drydak raises a spirit that walks to his mused ally. The spirits wield shields which they bash attacking allies, and deny enemy dashes. The health of the elemental is equal to 40% of Drydak's bonus health, or 60% of his AP.

E: _Heroic Advance _- Drydak pushes out his glaive, dealing physical damage and dashing to the end of the glaive. He stuns enemies hit and deals magic damage according to his armor.

R: Primordial Intervention - Drydak marks an enemy, removing 50% of his own magic resist and armor and giving it to his ally. If the ally dies, he possesses them, bringing them back to 45% health. He can use their kit during this time, but the mana costs are trippled. After fifteen seconds, the ally dies and Drydak returns to his normal form. If the ally dies during Primordial Intervention, Drydak's health is cut in half of what it currently is.

[He buffs himself]

Q: **Celestial Blade **- Drydak slashes out with his primordial blade, dealing damage and dragging in enemies slightly, the damage scales on AD. The cooldown is reset if he kills two units (minions, jungle monsters)

W: Raise Celestial Reaper - Drydak raises a warrior spirit to assist him in combat. The warrior does 70% of Drydak's AD(or 20% AP), but has rather high attack speed.

E: Heroic Advance - Drydak charges out with his primordial blade, it also creates an AOE around him during the charge, providing increased movespeed to allies struck. Damage scales on AD.

R: **Call of Duty **- Drydak creates large AOE around him, increasing his movespeed, lowering his AD 10% to give to his allies, and giving him slow resistance.

[Dormant Buff (he is unable to select himself or allies for Muse past level 11)]

Q:** Runic Force **- Drydak sends out a pulse that knocks away enemies, dealing damage based on Drydak's ability power and magic resist.

W: **Raise Apparition **- Drydak raises an apparition that can be controlled using (ALT). The apparition does very little damage to champions before level 11, but does additional damage to minions or jungle monster.

E: Heroic Advance - Drydak charges in the direction of the cursor, but is slowed afterwards. At the end he creates an AOE around him that increases the AP of nearby allies and himself.

R: Spirit Influence - Drydak creates a large AOE around him(smaller than self-buff), and reducing all his stats by 10%, giving them to all allies.

(Release skin - Galactic (or) Arcade (or) Arclight?)

(END) P.S. I know he may seem unbalanced or weak in some aspects, but i'll come back and make edits if I want to expand on the concept.

Okay, the other day I saw someone mention that an AD support may be an interesting take. Also, I've played a lot of Urgot, and see he works somehow decently everywhere - by Urgot's standards. I think another possible jack of all trades could be due.

The issue that I see with this idea is mainly the passive. I feel that is more than a little strong, because what will end up happening is people taking him support, getting a ton of gold off of it, then just becoming a monster due to a huge gold lead. Think about it, assists would grant him near full gold, relic would be giving 140% of minion deaths, and any form of global gold would just be monstrous for him.
