You know, even though this is your implementation of the MYMU, is there enough info here to warrant a Wiki page to itself? I mean, you quote all the Rioter's on their design insights / policy, so I consider it to be a treasure trove of info.

Regarding some of your ideas:


 * I'm not a fan of stack-ing systems like what you're proposing with his passive, but I'm not gonna harp on it. As for PoF, maybe the pillar itself could persist for an extra ~.Xs based on the target's Blaze? Also, I like the idea of Brand becoming the pyroclasm with a Blade Waltz-type of effect, provided there is sufficient cost / risk and counterplay.


 * Not sure how to feel about this. Your thought process about her Q and E and their relationship seems accurate. I'm not a fan of making her W into a trap at all (much less call it a Ward!) IMO, what you want her W to do is (for the most part) exactly what Teemo's shrooms should do (you even mention the similarity.) I do think you might be onto something with her 'Tomb Raider' theme (certainly an interesting direction) but part of me thinks: "isn't that what is suppose to be?


 * Whoa, such drastic changes! I think you went a bit over-board with his 'minion-mancer' theme. Reel it in a little. On a side note, I do think your 'Worm Hole' is neat (and a fun pun!) My suggestion for his would be not to make it a  effect per se but what if it had larger range and were channeled, and upon completing the channel "Malzahar and his target are 'warped' into a parallel universe of Summoner's Rift (or the current Map)" complete with Void-esque visuals and effects. Maybe, periodically, Voidlings would spawn nearby (or appear out of the fog of war, drawn to Malz's side) and attack the 'intruder' (Malz's opponent). Maybe Malz and his target are 'stealthed' from everyone during the duration of this effect? IDK just food for thought.


 * I love the idea of calling Tides of Blood Tithes of Blood. Mmmm, delicious!
