@ Vynellin: You're right, aesthetics are part of the identity, but they're null compared to the playstyle provided by the abilities build into the character, considering that this is a game driven by competitivity.

If said abilities are a ball of stats, a bunch of soft CC without gameplay and unreliable damage (As his damage depends entirely of AP ratios, otherwise his abilities do not deal damage, which is horrible) and, on top of that, your only visual effects are spitting fire, covers himself on fire and spawn wings, then he has no identity, but a mush of generic effects already seen before in other games, including LoL itself (Shyvanna).

Having an identity is to stand by itself in every sense of the word, in every context provided by the game, and if you're not willing to accept that, and rather attempt to stomp someone with a harsh yet truthful point, then nothing can be done for your concept, when even you can't answer a question as simple as "Which is his identity: What is he meant to do that others do not?".
