User blog comment:Nhan-Fiction/(Custom, Fan-Made Champion) Kiya, the Fervor of the Sands/@comment-75.187.203.52-20121223175409

Alrighty. First thing I like to look at regarding a champion are the aesthetics. Looking at Kiya, all I can say is...wow. Judging by the consistency of the various artworks, I assume you had a look set in stone already, and these pictures are amazing. I can't help but draw some comparison to Nidalee due to the body markings, but they really do look good on her. Which picture comes closest to your vision of Kiya?

Lore: From what I can gather, Kiya is a young queen that was driven from her throne by her rebelling subjects, and her rule was one of arrogance and pride. And when things went bad for her, she retreated to the League to get help from Nasus in order to regain the faith of her followers back.

She seems like a regal figure, but with an underlying desire for revenge. It makes one wonder, does Nasus know of Kiya's intentions? Would he still be willing to help her if he did? There's a great deal of intrigue to be observed here. This is some good stuff, I gotta hand it to you.

Skills: Just a heads up, number are not quite my forte, so to speak. My skill review will be about synergy and stuff like that.

Wonderous Scepter:  At first glance, I was comparing it to Viktor's passive. But it seems like you have the ability to toggle through different settings on it. I can't comment on how this would affect her playstyle just yet. I'll have to take a look at the different abilities.

Magnificent Pulse:  I see, so the skills themselves are relatively basic but are augmented by the setting on Kiya's scepter. Red for armor shred, Blue for magic vulnerability, and Yellow for preventing an enemy from coming back to the fight. This adds a decent layer of tactics to employ against different situations. As for ability itself, it's simple, but efficient.

Fanatic Feline - Passive: For a support or mage, Kiya seems to have some rather physical attributes to her playstyle. Being part cat, she would have to have some agility mixed in with her repertoire. I'll have to take a look at the active.

Fanatic Feline - Active: I think i'm getting an idea on how your scepter settings are utilized. Red seems tailored to fight against AD opponents, Blue would be effective against other mages, and Yellow seems to be made for keeping enemies from running away or counter attacking. I was initially worried about having to toggle around the scepter settings, but it seems like one setting will work for a long time until you think the battle is gonna be on different terms.

Radiant Ankh: A shield with a temporary aura? That's pretty nifty. In fact, i'm not entirely sure why they haven't made an ability like this in LoL already. Also, it seems i've hit the mark with my earlier analysis about the scepter settings being used for certain purposes.

My only issue is that the effectiveness of one set in a lane might make you forget that there are other settings for your scepter. But that's a issue with the player's familiarity with Kiya, not Kiya herself.

Divine Queen: Making the ultimate a transformation like Nasus and Renekton is a nice touch. But it seems there's more to it than just the mana and healing. Also, would Kiya's appearance change with the transformation? And if so, in what way would she do this?

Mummified Servants:  She summons evil cat mummies to cling to her enemies? That is hands down the most adorable ability i've ever seen. I mean sure, the damage is nifty, the vision is useful and the slow is powerful, but that's not why people will use it. They'll use it because she summons angry kittens to hug your enemies!

If Riot actually added Kiya to the roster, I bet 90% of the playerbase would buy her on day 1 solely for that ability, myself included.

Final Thoughts: This is usually the section where I tell you what you've done right, and what needs improvement. Kiya's aesthetics are amazing for what you aim to accomplish. Her story is great for what you want to get across, as well as having a layer of mystery as far as her plan is concerned. Her abilities look pretty awesome as well. You even have incredible artwork to go along with her.

Thing is, there's nothing I can say regarding what needs improvement. Kiya's skillset is easy to use and fairly adaptable without being bland. Her scepter toggle has a high skill cap but won't be clunky in the hands of less experienced players. There is literally nothing about Kiya that I can critique.

In fact, one might even call her a purrfect concept!

P.S. If you want skin ideas, i've linked a few to your LoL forum post.
