Champion concept Bariya

All these champions with massive, low cooldown shields (especially during ardent censor meta) are driving me crazy and it's gotten me thinking that there isn't really a way to counter a shielding team comp. I mean with a Janna, Shen and Orianna on the team that kogmaw is not going to die before killing half your team.

I've been looking for a way to use the concept art riot had for Braums early development, but instead of a holding a battering ram, she IS the battering ram.

So here's a pretty bad attempt at a bio, enjoy!:

Meet Bariya (origin Barrier) a Zaunite orphan, secretly adopted by Piltover Metal/Armor smith. Bariya, a tomboyish girl with a small frame, freckles, and red hair always pulled into pigtails took to her adopted fathers work with a talent and passion that spoke of her Zaunite heritage. But, of course, she wanted to know more. As a child she heard whispers of a feud between a Zaunite with his fanatical augmentation and a Piltover scientist with his fantastic invention. Bariya dug into all the research she could find on everything hextech. When researching augmentation she read about a woman with blades for legs and another girl whose whole body became mechanical, even her heart which must be wound by a key and marveled at how these other woman so easily gave up on their soft, fleshy parts in exchange for cold mechanisms. Bariya resolved that she wouldn't follow their path of slicing and dicing themselves to get stronger. But no matter how she tried, the girl could not discover how to achieve her goal. With every experiment she got closer and closer, but she felt that something was missing. Later when she was, again, trying to close the gap to her goal, she heard a loud howling underneath. "Zaun" she thought, grabbing her facemask and a light to navigate the late night of Zaun she snuck out of Piltover, hoping to get a glimpse of another fantastic creation. "Maybe it's Master Viktor," she thought excitedly, now knowing the name of the famously mad Zaunite, she picked up the pace, she MUST see what it is. Following the sounds of crashing and the shouts of men and the eruption of gunfire Bariya was lead to the edge of the chasm and caught a glimpse of a shaggy figure soaring through the air and miraculously catching a cable car that was on its way up. The strange creature had a device on its back that the girl had never seen before, it's red liquid slowly changing to green as she watched. Amazed at this otherworldly creature Bariya made the decision to find out where it came from. Jumping down next to the man sprawled out on the ground bathing in his own life blood, the girl followed the trail of chaos. There were deep gouges in the wall, looking very much like claw marks. After what felt like an hour of walking and doubling back on her trail, she came upon a door that had been ripped off its hinges and, walking inside, found a bald man with a giant tube of that peculiar green liquid on his back. The room was a mess, tubes hang from the ceiling and green liquid splattered the ground. On a desk the girl found journals, looking inside she found the writings of a mad man and detailed descriptions of what appeared to be a test done on a living subject, including what seemed to be an experiment that successfully attach a working mechanical hand to the arm of the subject. Inspiration grabbed Bariya, this is what she was missing! The bald man groaned in his sleep, swearing Bariya scooped all of the journals under her arm along with a vial of the strange green liquid. She fled from the workshop back to Piltover. This 'Chemtech' was indeed what she had been missing. A way to enhance the symbiotic partnering of her physical body and her machine. With the help of a strange ballerina type robot and its floating ball, Bariya, using a combination of hextech and chemtech, fused a device onto her spine with a crystal embedded in the back of her neck and green liquid flowing through it. And following this achievement the girl proceeded to make a set of gauntlets and sabatons that would fuse with her skin and nerves. and with a marvelous set of extendable armor, the bald man that broke into her fathers workshop in search of his books, found that they wouldnt be as easy to collect as he had hoped.

Passive: Hextech Armor- Bariya wears a suit of power armor that protects her in battle the suit gives Bariya bonus resistances. She gains 10%-25% damage resistance while outside combat with champions and lasting 4 seconds after combat begins. Cooldown 15-5 depending on level

First Ability: Battering Ram- Bariya's next basic attack does 30/50/80/100/120 (+60% armor) bonus physical damage. Is an auto reset. If Bubbles shield is active this ability will also knock the target back slightly, this extra effect can only be used on a target once every 8 seconds.

Second Ability: Passive: Bubble- Every 45-20 seconds depending on level Bariya's armor generates a shield equal to 10% (+3% per 100 magic resist) of her max health. Basic attacks on minions and small monsters reduce this cooldown by 1 second. Basic attacks against large monsters and Champions reduce this cooldown by 3.

Active: Shatter- Bariya causes her shield to explode outward dealing magic damage to champions hit by the shrapnel slowing them and inflicting grievous wounds. Damage- 5%/8%/11%/15%/20% of the shield sacrificed.

Third Ability: Bash- After a brief delay Bariya's armor boosts her forward knocking aside champions in her path. Can go over walls.

Ultimate: Guard Siphon- Bariya throws her suit into overdrive, changing its appearance, and causing her armor to regenerate her Bubble while increasing the passive shield to 20% (+6% per 100 magic resistance) the armor also siphons off all nearby enemy shields and adds them to her Bubble.

Like Galio, Bariya isn't going to fit into every single team comp, she will do fine but she will really shine when the enemy is going to shield their carry with everything they've got. Like Shen, Bariya has a lot of engage potential while also peeling for her team and being a splitpush threat.

The combo you have to watch out for when facing Bariya is her dashing into your team and using your own shields against you, luckily if you are quick enough you can disrupt her dash and keep her from your carry.
