1) Maybe I should talk first about what inspired this kit: a silly visual glitch I had recently with on ARAM. For some Cthulhu-forsaken reason, my game client decided for a single match that it wouldn't load all models at all times, so what happened was that I could only see moving models (and yes, even the terrain was hidden in that match, lots of "whoops, walked into a wall" moments). Somehow I won that match despite an hilarious situation of a 1v1 becoming a 1v5 because the 4 others were standing still in plain sight. 2) Kyrie Eleison is cast pretty much like  and deals damage similarly to  old, where damage was accounted by each projectile instead of continuous AoE damage like the new ult. 3) I actually pondered if I should replace the with a MS boost, but then I thought it'd make the enemy vs ally effect too inconsistent and, ironically, make the ability too consistent for allies and reduce the counterplay opportunities.
 * What happened in that match is that I could only target with AA enemy minions and champions if they were moving and they'd disappear as soon as they stopped, thus not being eligible to being targeted that way but they'd still eat my just fine even if I didn't see them. That got me thinking that conditional sight would make an interesting champion concept... and voilá.
 * On Gwenaël himself, his sight-by- mechanic should look a bit like the red phantoms produces when it detects an enemy unit, but instead of flashing every few frames and not being target of interaction, the visual is continuous as long the target is either moving or being interacted with by an allied minion, pet, trap or champion and Gwenaël is able to treat the phantom visual as he would treat a regular enemy unit.
 * But I won't be deceitful about what inspired the ult: the arrow volley from Dark Souls 3's Aldrich, Devourer of Gods (you can take a very comprehensive look at it in this video in the 1:25 to 1:37 timestamp). Not only it's an interesting ability to import to League with the right tweaks, it also creates a corridor of for Gwenaël that allows him to take a good gander at the enemy.
