Thanks for the feedback ^_^

I agree about the passive now that I look at it. She wasn't going to build AD anyways, so

decreasing her basic attacks' AD scaling is a pointless mechanic that only restricts

diversity.

The range of the Q tether relative to her other abilities is an issue, and I've changed up

the ranges to compensate.

About the ult damage possibly scaling off of the total distance between her and the

target, that's actually originally how it was. However, that's really easy to exploit by

teleporting away, which is why I changed it so that it's only influenced by the enemy. I

suppose I could lower the max range and possibly the percentage amp so that you can't

instakill with just an r and a teleport.

For her thematic elements, she's based very heavily off of the Hindu god Shiva, and

that's why I went out of my way to try not to make her sound like a voidborn. I see Xia as

a cosmic force that serves as the catalyst for a future apocalypse who lacks the direct

power to end the world but has the responsibility to set in motion events that lead to

that ultimate outcome, and I hope to get that in her lore if I can finish it in time. For the

trident part, that's another reference to Shiva, who uses his trident to destroy the 3

worlds with one strike. I do agree that the trident has more connotations to the ocean

than it does the apocalypse, so perhaps if I called it by its South Asian terminology,

trishula, it would seem less out of place?

And as for the fighter designation, I just did it like that because her passive might make

her well-suited to an AP bruiser build, kind of like some people play Diana.
