I find many (personal) faults to this champion, in that they are unsatisfying to the name of "Yone." You've taken a champion who is supposed to have profound effects and significance to a but warp him into a mockery. Before I further criticize your makings of Yone, I would like to know what were your intended goals in creating this concept. As of now, I can only see that you borrowed his name to garner attention than to truly innovate the idea of who Yone really is.

Beginning with what I was most distraught about when reading this concept, you've devolved Yone's worth as a character by making him a literal zombie with a figuratively broken backbone. As much as Yone did doubt Yasuo's innocence, he still felt that they were brothers. Only by the "duty of burden" did Yone set out to "correct" his brother's way. Yet, the story above Yone into a man of justice before being Yasuo's brother, when (I believe) Yone is the opposite, with his brother in mind before justice. What's the difference? Yone's train of thought is not "I need to bring Yasuo to justice" but "It is my duty to not let my brother continue his possible misdeeds."

Then thereafter, you raise Yone from the dead, like making a fanfiction of the resurrection of a great hero. While you revive Yone's soul, you bury the essence into the smoldering dirt pile of imagination, forgetting the importance in creating a well-mannered story of revival. You label Yone now as a tormented specter, but from what I can see, he seems nothing more than a dark parody of contemporary dark tales of dark heroes, and that in itself is not a compliment. If you are to revive a cornerstone of another character, place more thought into the process. Otherwise, it would have been better to make this concept one of the anonymous assassins that had chased and died by Yasuo's blade than naming him by the name of Yasuo's brother.
