User blog:CrashySmashy/My little support, my little support

I've been waiting for a new support since Karma came out (not considering Victor a support, even with all the fuss Phreak created in V's spotlight); though I am having fun playing Tardic or Karma, I'd like to see a martyr-like support in the Fields of Justice. My champ's concept leans towards Taric, but I don't think we need another double-aura champ :).

Still looking for a name, I'm not good with this :) I would appreciate if sb could think of any name fitting this char, AND being somehow connected with Final Fantasy, or other JRPG :)

He's a male, since the only two male support champs who are REALLY supports with heals etc,. are Ali and Tardic ( pls don't spam me with Heim, Sion, and Zilean). Possibly a yordle, or sb. from Void, since then It would really show in his kit. Wind theme Kit, or at least sth which resembles movement, flow, idk :)

An AP/tanky support, who benefits from being near his allies, doesn't have almost any farming skills, but compensates with keeping his weakest teammates alive for extended periods of time ( I suppose :) ). In low-elo his main role would be to babysit dat Ashe or MissFortune ( not as awesome as Soraka, but something between Taric and Karma ), but his role can shift into a 'position manager' later on. He can in just a few seconds come to the rescue to his ganked/overcrowded teammate, heal him if necessary and lead him out of his doom. He has nice utility, lacks burst, has only 1 CC applying to enemies ( aoe fear working on champs around him -redirect ->Volibear and minions), but can remove some of the CC applied to an ally (I think an ability to remove ALL CC from SOMEONE would be op (on a still reasonalble cd in a kit, not being an ulti ).

He (the champ, duh :) ) would rather focus on items to get the tankiness, his kit (and it's scalings)should favour buying items giving extra hp, some cdr, to less extend AP, and resistances. Mana will be needed too, but since my recommended itemizing includes even 2 catalysts, I don't think you'll need Frozen Heart every game.

Rod of Ages, Rylais Scepter, Spirit Visage, Banshee's Veil, Boots of Swiftness/Ionian's, Frozen Heart, but definetly not Warmogs.

Innate : Nearby allied champions gain +5 mana regeneration. ( sorry Kennen :)

Q: Active: He moves quickly to the target ally champion ( idk if allowing him to do this to an ally minion won't give him unexpected mobility, which is not the idea of this champ). He will appear behind the ally if they were facing eachother while casting (to save the ally from any possible skillshots to his back - I'm looking at you, Nidalee). He then removes some of CC applied to the ally, and grants slow reduction to both of them, which lasts for 0,5 - 1 - 1.5 ... 2,5 sec. Leveling up shortens CD, lenghtens 'Cannon be slowed' duration.

possible adjustments - instead of being insta Morgana-Shield, it just grants mres and armour, with the bonuses scaling/lvl.

W: Active: He heals target allied champion or himself. If the target is an ally, heal is stronger and on a bit longer cooldown. Healing himself will be less effective (thus Spirit visage in recommended), but on a shorter cd. The ammount of heal will be lower than soraka, but a bit stronger at the beginning from Tardic. ( talking about healing allies). Scales of ap ( possibly 0.5 AP), cd around 9 sec for himself, and 13 for allies.

possible adjustments : since almost every healer has a second buff in teir heal, I'd say our hero needs to give one too :) I can't think of anything new, or suiting the kit,playstyle, character, so the only option is - If the target has skills on cooldown, they're lowered by 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 sec. Idk how would this work on cd sensitive champs though :/ Nida's pounce, Cass twin fang, Karth's Q etc.

E: Active: He shows his dark side ( or, as long as he's a yordle - cuteness overload) fears all targets in a small area around him. Fear lasts for 0.5 / 0.75 ... /1.5 sec.

Passive: While the E is on cooldown, He creates a wind vortex around him, dealing aoe damage to nearby enemies. Scales from AP.

Since I don't know a lot about making good scaling and base dmg for DoT spells, I'll leave that one for further consideration.

R Ultimate : Active : For a second, He creates a bond with a target ally( the bond is only an indicator to where directly is the target ally). He shields himself and an ally with a semi-strong barrier ( scales of both bonus hp and AP). After that he switches places with the ally, refreshing the shield.

Scaling : shield strength, (and the possible movement speed buff)

Think of it as Urgots R, but targeting an ally. This spell is not channeled, similar to Finales Funkeln, so the best way of stopping it is to kill the Suport :)

After some thinking it might be good to also buff movement speed of both the Support AND the ally after the switch.

In terms of base stats, I'd place him somewhere between Taric and Karma. Mayyybe a bit faster.

I will place some moar info if this ever gets to be read by someone other than me :)

Share your opinions, point out any doubts of usefullness, of balance, you name it.

Thanks for reading all this ;)
