New Demacian support idea

Tikva, The Holy Priestess(Support) "Tikva" is "Hope" in Hebrew. Her name should be something related to light, holiness, hope, things Demacian.
I had an idea for a new support from Demacia because Lux is for mid but people go her support so it doesn't count, and she steals kills so. And Sona doesn't really count because she was from Ionia originally. I was thinking of a Demacian support who really makes a feature in the game. A "Holy Priestess" who buffs her ADC/team. Yes, I was thinking of a "Holy Priestess," why? Well, Demacia is known for their light, honor, justice, righteous ways, so why not include a champion that reflects that? I thought of her abilities could be:

Passive: When around allies, will periodically increase allies damage(AD/AP), speed for movement, lower cooldowns, attack, etc, and defense. Q: "Heat of Battle" Increases an ally's damage both Physical and magical, etc. W: "Demacian Fervor" Increases an ally's movement speed, attack speed, lower cooldowns, etc E: "Holy Bastion" Increases defense, health, lower time of crowd control, etc. R: "Demacian Spirit" (GLOBAL ULT) Applies "Heat of Battle," "Demacian Fervor," and "Holy Bastion" to her team for 5 secs.

I know this might be a vague champion but it's just a random idea for a support from Demacia. And the abilities could change. Her lore could be her being a very helpful Demacian who is caring, religious, peaceful, motherly, protective, loveable, and similar to a very courteous church lady/maiden. Not trying to bring religion into this but Karma is similar to Bhudism, Ionian skins/champs are similar to Eastern religions, the skin including Kayle Nocturne Singed are referencing the time of Catholicism. So the champion I had an idea can be somewhat a follower of Jesus, Christ, etc. Please don't be closeminded and think before saying something negative about this. Not forcing religion into this game, was just thinking of a "Holy Priestess" concept.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not but I'll give quick feedback anyway:

  • While the "holy priestess" theme is a really cool one which should be in the game, the kit your proposing offers too much without having to do anything. Your passive is an ambient all purpose buff which gives your allies everything they could want and more. Pick one or two things you want your champ to offer it's team, and think of an interesting or unique way to bring it to the game.

  • The skills only focus on allies, all champs need to be able to interact with the opposing team (even pacifist Ivern can attack). Perhaps think about how a holy priestess might be able to fight her enemies, and try not to overload basic abilities with utility.

  • Your ult basically makes your passive (which gives all the same buffs as your basic abilities) global. There's no skill expression and it's quite over powered, consider setting some constraints when designing a kit. Perhaps refer to designs that already exists in the game, like Nami; she's considered to be one of the most successful Enchanter designs in the game.

Hmmm I can think of a couple of ways to fit this concept.

First let's focus on her power "holiness" and her thematic apparence. What do you want her to look like when she uses her power ?

Let's say she's like a masaya right we'll give her a focus buff so how about;

Holy presence, aura buff adds magic damage to teammates abilities as long as they are within a certain range of her.

Since she is a support she need utilities so holiness normally heals, saves or smites evil so how's this for her q;

Piercing light, fires a beam of light in a straight line dealing about 40% magic damage and stunning all enemies hit for 4 secs this beam is chargeable to increase the range and damage also gives allies an increase in .

Now let's work on her w heal ;

Lay on hands, instantly heals 20% maximum health and grants a buff which regenerates 20% maximum health over 12secs and provides an increase in magic and physical resistance.

Moving on to her E the save

self sacrifice, uses holy grace to swap places with a target Ally granting them increased attack speed and damage while she gains 30% of their armor and magic resistance.

Now as for her ult if I were to make it I would be pirating your idea so come up with something as well as how you want her to look

If this was helpful then your welcome I would like to get some feedback on some of my champ concepts

For the time being, they don't seem to love buff champion. They always bring in tank support with CC.
