User blog:Emptylord/Custom Champion - Swarm of the Void

Abilities
Casting one of the Swarm's abilities begins a combo, unlocking different abilities depending on the previous abilities used. If the Swarm successfully executes a combo, they replenish 5% of their maximum health. If the Swarm fails to complete a combo, they gain 15 armor for 3 seconds. Succeed or fail, all his abilities are then placed on a 7 second cooldown (affected by cooldown reduction).

A successful combo is where three abilities are chained successfully. A combo will fail if the next ability is not cast or by failing to land the effect. Abilities blocked by spell shields are still classified as having landed.

Note: All of the Swarm's abilities cost health.

When the Swarm activates his Q, W or E, the two skills he did not use are changed into alternate abilities for 5 seconds. For example, using Omen of Agony (Q) grants the Swarm the ability to cast Mental Barrage (W) and Blink (E) instead of Sentiment of Fear and Agateophobia. Upon using one of the two other abilities, the third and final ability is replaced with another alternate skill for 5 seconds. To complete the example, casting Mental Barrage would unlock Nausea (E) instead of Blink; or casting Blink would unlock Discharge (W) instead of Mental Barrage. This is called a "combo", and is the feature/theme of the Swarm's kit.

The Swarm features 6 different combos across 15 unique basic abilities. Upon successfully executing a combo, all his basic abilities are placed on a 7 second cooldown. If the Swarm fails to activate the second or third ability during the 5 seconds while they're available, all his basic abilities are placed on a 7 second cooldown (even the abilities he did not use). For example, if he casts Omen of Agony and Mental Barrage, but does not cast Discharge during the 5 seconds, his E skill would still go on cooldown.

The Swarm must have the ability available in order to cast it. For example, if the Swarm has not yet ranked his W skill, he will not be able to use any of the W abilities.

Additionally, his skills scale with the rank of the ability required to cast them. For example, Mental Barrage would scale with the rank of his W despite being part of his Q-combo. This is the create a feel that you are ranking up a specific member of the Swarm (either Omen, Qualm or Gevaar).
