User blog comment:Emptylord/Custom Champion - Pernelle the Witch of the Wastes/@comment-27249659-20160711055106/@comment-3974211-20160711125941

The passive is taken from Dehaka and the ultimate is taken from Heroes of the Storm, which I think I mentioned both, so yeah, you're correct about the similarities (identicalities). The ultimate was already a mechanic I'd been exploring independently and Heroes inspired changing the effect into "a super powerful temporary spawn", which I like, but the fit of a mount in general might be bad for Pernelle - it was spawned to capture her "manifesting from the vines" witchy theme.

The passive is... To somewhat offset the weakness of being away from brushes, since you correctly identified her weakness. She can jump between brushes to keep ahead of her enemy when chasing around, or wanting to roaming, or escape. I chose to replace Recall instead of wasting a primary ability slot, with the power distributed around that.

I was imagining the Q range would be similar to Blitzcrank, Nautilus or Thresh, but it depends on how low the cooldown should be, but this might not be enough to make her a viable mid. Honestly, I don't design to make a champion viable everywhere: I had jungler, support, and roaming support in mind when I created her.
