User blog:Willbachbakal/(Champion Concept) Burke, the Apothecary

Burke, the Apothecary is a champion concept I had in mind as a response to the previous supports in LoL so far. A common complaint is that a lot of supports, such as Soraka, Lulu or Sona, are too passive, and that a support build precludes effectiveness in combat. To this effect, Burke's kit allows him to become an able combatant as well as a great support without having to sacrifice one for the other. Obviously, there's a drawback to this, namely that he's a high-risk champion: to be able to support or attack properly, he'd have to get close to the enemy. Coupled with a certain degree of squishiness, this means playing Burke would require a great deal of active participation to keep him alive.

Abilities
As with any champion concept, comments and criticism are heartily appreciated. I'll post his background and details soon, too. For those of you who don't know Rheya yet, take a look at her as well.
