User blog:Telaruhn/Sprig, The Brambleborn

Alright, this is still a work in progress... But let me give you an idea of what I'm trying to go for:

I wanted to create an offensively-oriented support, with a passive that supports ambushes within brush, a decent shield and a not-so-accessible heal, and the ability to go AD. I also wanted to go for a unique ultimate (we'll get to that later). Anyways, I got this idea of a "bramble mage," a creature born from thorn bushes. While I don't exactly have his look down, he's definitely yordle-esque in stature with thorns all over him, and he has a medium-sized wilted flower on his head. Also, his weapon of choice is a thorn whip (go figure).

So, without further ado, I present... Sprig, The Brambleborn!

Notes:

- The bleed effect for Thorn Battalion is similar to  's.

- While Terra Firma may seem like a lot, with a CC, allied and self heal, and increased combat stats and attack range for Spring, but think about it: Sprig's mobility is sacrificed entirely for at least 2.5 seconds after casting it. This ability also costs a lot of mana, and has a rather high cooldown. It also does not direct damage, and ultimately requires good placement for the CC so that enemies won't simply run away from Sprig. Also note that Spring can't use, , or while Terra Firma is activated.

Let me know what you think!
