  7. So this is the first champion design idea i actually followed and developed all the way through. I'd appreciate your thoughts and criticism on the character design, kit, balance, lore and general concept. I designed her to be a straight forward mage with burst damage and a bit of crowed control. her looks in general include a long coat, a satchel with scrolls, pale skin, dark hair and glowing eyes she is a bit thin, not a natural fighter. her personality is very self assured and brave, she is a show off. can be considered cocky. ( sketch in progress )

inouira - the uncontrolled storm

  1. Lore

as a child the only thing that would scare the brave and bold inouira was the thundering storms that frequently hit her hometown. naturally, as what could be scarier than the uncontrolled destructive power of the storm? thunder would terrify her, leaving the uncontrollable belligerent child scared and helpless, completely frozen in her place. her father told fear came from the unknown and so she must learn about lightning and storms to fight her fears, typical thinking of a scholar.

the idea was a disaster. inouira got sidetracked by documentations on the biggest most destructive storms to have ever existed on runeterra. she learned of the storm elementals and demons. fomenting further her fears. on a second attempt, her father taught inouira protection spells and incantations he found in his studies of ancient texts. they were believed to be nothing more than old and meaningless pagan rituals that people of old times thought would subdue lightning and calm the storms. this seemed to work for her.

as inouira grew she began to join her father in his expeditions and help his research. in one of these expeditions they stumbled across an old ruin engraved with weird symbols. inouira recognized the symbols on it immediately, the spells of her ancient text. feeling the fears of her childhood return she begged her father to stay, to forgo his studies just this once. he refused and went in with his team of researchers, leaving inouira alone outside.

as night came closer, heavy rain began pouring, along with thunder. sacred and lonely inouira simply sat murmuring her fake spells of protection. screaming came from within the ruins. her father. inouira did not know what to do. she could not move, yet her father needed help against whatever unknown horror he has encountered. embracing the bravest parts of herself she ran into the ruins, singing her incataations aloud. inside, she smelled before she saw, burned flesh. and then the personification of her fears. a storm elemental, in all its terrifying glory. made mostly of smoke and ash of the burned he seared with lightning, cracking sounds of thunder filled the room. sealing runes visible on him yet incomplete. her father had accidentally released this evil being onto the world. it noticed her, and lazily began moving towards her, savoring the fear she emanated so clearly. inouira was so scared her mind was blank. until she noticed her wounded father on the ground. this image replaced whole her fear with anger. she began her incantations according to the runes she recognized on the being, it slowed it down but not stop it. she began adding any and every spell she could remember from her youth. even those she did not remember what they did.at one spell. the elementals behavior change. he even seemed to smile as he heard it and began a murmuring inouira realized was mirroring her own incantation. at first their minds connected and she could sense his thoughts. "you will house my mind and power so i will never be sealed again" she felt him pushing her out of her own body, taking over it. no! she thought and fought back. no one will put her on a leash, no one will control her. especially not this being of her worst nightmares. during this clash of wills their bodies began merging in great light. as the light died and the dust settled a being rose. inouira's father called out and the new being turned. with glowing blue eyes, pale white skin and black grayish hair like the clouds of a tempest it answered in a distorted voice: "i won dad! i beat him!"

after literally conquering her fear, and its power, inouira joined the league of legends, the only place for her vast new powers.

Not gonna lie, this does seem like copy of other ideas. Passive Yasuo Q Xerath W Talon E item 3042 R Anivia

There is nothing wrong in taking your favorite abilities, putting new theme to it and changing them slightly to fit better, but this way you will have very little attention to your champion.

Gameplay: Passive: Why not .25% MS per point? Q: Nerf the ratio to .55 or .6 and it will be OK W: a blink, damage, and a one second suppress all on a basic ability? wew lads. E: Put on a mana cost, maybe 20 per auto. R: The fear immunity is really tacked on and would be useless against everyone except Fid and Hec.

Lore: "after literally conquering her fear, and its power, inouira joined the league of legends, the only place for her vast new powers."

sigh.

The League of Legends and Institute of War are no longer canon to the lore for this exact reason. What will she do with her life now? Sit in her room and wait for the next match? She can't improve as a character because of this. My biggest peeve is when people make these concepts and then (in my eyes) ruin it with including the IoW at the end.

Review Passive works in similar way to yasuo. Maybe too similar. Q could be pretty strong. Also, you seem to forgot put scaling on ability. W very strong. Talon used to have silence on his blink, but even that was too strong. E is way too strong. With some attack speed items you could be dishing out more than 1000 AOE damage per team fight. R is fine, but fear immunity is very impractical.
