User blog:MrSuperSpy/Zakayza, the Scorched Soul (UPDATED)

Zakayza, the Scorched Soul is a custom champion for League of Legends.

When I originally, made Zakayza, I made a whole mess of unnecessary mechanics along with 2 miles of text, trying to explain what each second of an ability's effects does, even though the abilities were really broken. Some of that was fixed though, mostly the text, but I think her uniqueness as a melee bruiser with magic damage shouldn't just be passed by with a kit that somewhat resembles AP Yasuo/Swain mix with Teemo's E, and the only good abilites were her OP as hell Innate Passive and a broken as hell Q. I feel that I need to change a few things, and make her actually feel interesting gameplay-wise. In her current state, she is good at poking and pissing the enemy off, and scales somewhat well into late game with tons of potential to be either kited or killed due to her squishyness and low mobility or high chances to solo-carry the team depending on how dumb the enemy top-laner was.

This is the champion that I like most out of my champion concepts, and I want her to special, so in short context I'm changing the Q to be more interactive with her abilites, and not just be a damage amplifier with no real gameplay, I'm nerfing her passive, making it deal more damage the more she fights you (will reduce base damage) and I'm also giving her an ultimate that really feels ultimate, not a negligible heal with stupidly toxic dueling potential.

I've said all I need to so let's go on with the concept.

Short introduction
Zakayza is a melee bruiser who utilizes the burn of her eternal torture to scar and smelt opponents, and then execute their spirits in a painful fashion. Winning a fight against her is rare, due to her incredible durability in all kinds of fights and strong dueling potential when all of her rage is unleashed upon her opponents.

Her native area is the top lane where fighters thrive to succeed, while Zakayza endures her hellish afterlife by stealing energy through her Scorched Touch to end her tortured soul. When her opponent makes even the simplest mistake, Zakayza has the option to end them in a moment when her utility is used to its maximum.

Gameplay
Zakayza is a durable melee bruiser that focuses on dealing magic damage and applying pressure to her enemies due to her on-hit damage and her ability to heavily amplify that damage. She is excellent when dueling because of her attack speed, ability to outlast her enemy and she is extremely potent when the team is fighting in groups. The intention with her is to make a pure bruiser based completely off of ability power, with capabilities to either shine brightly or flunk badly, depending on the skill, timing and execution of the summoner controlling her.

She has a variety of options when it comes to fighting, from roots to slows, dashes and even a shield, she is able to survive anything the enemy throws at her, but only once every now and then. Fights must be carefully picked out, and carefully carried out in order to bring out her full potential in a duel, and that is to control it and win it. Once she has access to all her abilities, she becomes a nightmare for almost any lane opponent - her stacking attack speed allows her to almost always win, and her sustain triples while within minion waves.

All good things must be equally mirrored with bad, so that's why Zakayza doesn't have the best early game, and if she fails here, it becomes hellish climbing back up - her squishyness in teamfights will have her quickly taken out. Either that, or she will be kited to her own death, due to her lack of mobility.

If a team is in need of both damage and durability at once, Zakayza is the perfect pick to dominate the enemy team.
