User blog comment:EliteMadness/Custom Champion - Vane/@comment-3974211-20190213024958

I'm trying to decide if this is a parody.

The champion name is too similar to an existing champion, which is actually more important than you might otherwise think. This accounts for spelling as well as sound - Jhin's name was spelt as such to make it more distinct from Jinx.

His innate doesn't do anything by itself, and looks like it should just be a passive on his ultimate. Also, specifically includes assists, so the wording is a bit weird.

In the past I would have said there's a conflict between whether or not this champion is suppose to be an artillery champion or a skirmisher, but Kai'Sa and Jhin both came out relatively back-to-back and both of them were skirmishers with a random long ranged skill. Vane's "random" long ranged skill doesn't feel like it helps, much, though - both Kai'Sa's and Jhin's both technically function as engage skills, whereas Vane's only works as an engage if the enemy is higher.

W is a bit, um, boring. Vayne and Sivir are, to my knowledge, the only marksmen with attack resets - but both their skills _do_ something else other than the attack reset. Just a "next attack deals bonus damage" feels... insufficient. This champion concept lacks any theme, so I don't even know what to propose as an alternative.

E combined with W feels like you're just building a ranged Jax, at this point. A stacking empower and an activated Empower and if you coincide them, extra ouchies. Hardly an interesting combo, though. The active is also a bit ridiculous, especially given the ultimate. Feels far too much like you're just giving the champion as much free gold as possible, rather than designing an actual kit.

I don't like the ultimate, personally. Champions without an ultimate have historically been underwhelming champions, and most of them have bloated basic abilities.

All in all, this champion doesn't seem to do anything. It's just lots of free stats and one poking tool. What's the goal here? What gameplay are you trying to achieve?
