New Champion Leak Design Thoughts

Based off of the leaks, I really like this concept of Daphne using bubbles. I know Riot has stated that Daphne is not her name, but I absolutely loved the same so from here on out I'll be addressing her as Daphne. Her kit seems really unique, and I love how she is like a control mage using her bubbles ( Like Zyra or Syndra) . The fact she manipulates balls bubbles reminds me of Syndra's ability to manipulate spheres but in two completely different ways. Overall, I hope Daphne is a serious mage, not too 'bubbly' personality wise.

Another concept I was thinking about that I really wanted to see was an offensive water mage in League. I adore Nami's ability Ebb and Flow ( i think that's what its called) , I wish we had some sort of water mage in the mixes of our champions that can move water at it's will. What's your guys opinions on 'Daphne' based of the leaks?

Some aspects seem fun in that (most likely fake) leak.

But other aspects are simply broken, can't imagine her having a 10 seconds lasting CC. Ganking that lane would be way too easy. People already thought that being able to keep an enemy in place with Camille's ult was too much, while you are still able to act.

Imagine if that champ and her jungler have 10!!! seconds to reposition and get all their skillshots off guaranteed. Would be extremely frustrating to play against. Not to mention that she can overwrite your flash to delay your escape even further. And these are basic abilities.

Why does everyone hate happy champions?

On her design, I hope the kit isn't as one-sided as the leak makes it to be. However it's CertainlyT we are talking about so who knows.

What leak are we talking about?

Screwing about with someone else’s summoner spells sounds like an infuriating idea I would hate playing against that could completely upset how certain matchups work and I would straight up resent any champion that did it on a fundamental level.

So yeah, I could definitely see this being a legit champion designed by CertainlyT.

I can see these being legit leaks. "Aldora's" ult changing summoner spells seems very likely since a new Rune is coming out that allows you to switch Summoner Spells mid game is coming this preseason. If used correctly that giant butterfly hitting the enemy jungler while they're attempting Baron or a Dragon could totally disable their smite. The 10 second long Asleep CC at rank 5 also doesn't sound out of the question since taking damage from an enemy would wake you up, freeing you from being CC'd. In a game with plenty of AoE or ambient damage, this sounds like it'd be difficult to keep someone Asleep for the full 10 seconds during a team fights to begin with. I hope this is all true and not just a fake speculation. It's also pretty in depth and more detailed than previous fake leaks. I'm looking forward to the reveal.
