Well, Malz and Syndra have a lot in common with him I agree, since World Eater was kinda modeled on Null Gate and Dark Prophecy is a twist on Dark Sphere, but I hope the abilities are unique enough. Well, Q, while you think it's the coolest, is more about guaranteeing that you stick a prophecy on someone. Essence only provides him with an incentive to spam spells, which is also a way of granting him innate superiority, with Essence he can get power spikes to retaliate against opponents who want to poke him out of lane too much. Also, Win'Gul is all but a fisher, he is a demon who's hell-bent on controlling the world. The idea of a void dragon is early design - as of the 5 of my custom champions working with Essence, all are supposed to transform into elemental dragons: Red being Fire, Berthram being Earth, Livan being wind, Lania as Water, and Win'Gul as Darkness/Evil/Void. The idea is that he is tapping into a fuller Voidborn form. Voidbringer used to be double as strong as it is today (I nerfed it on publishing), so I didn't feel like giving much bonuses on abilities back then, though yes, I agree that those are a bit weak -- still, the easier stun and the possible infinite AP farming is strong. As for the ultimate, he can already deal enough damage by sitting on you with his ultimate, so I wanted to avoid it being frankly unfair. But this brings naught but a chance to his enemies, which is the contrary to his fantasy. Time for a few changes.
