Thanks for checking the champion out!

The Q is primarily made to be a form of travel as she is designed to be an adventurer yordle. While having a yordle with a fishing rod reel in champions like Malphite or Sion seem hilarious, I didn't want it to be a form of crowd control or enemy position manipulation.

I didn't actually intend her to be a 'survivalist' or 'fisher' champion; I actually had a picture of a yordle who loved exploration and adventure, like Ezreal, but with focus on the appreciation for nature and the world than finding artifacts. Hence why Sword form Somewhere is called that way: it is literally just an artifact that she picked up on an accidental encounter with a monster in a temple that she found by chance. I guess I either need to rethink her whole lore completely to abide the 'survivalist/fisher' champion theme or find another way to implement a melee form of damage/cc into her kit.
