Well actually, someone suggested Kiya's title should be the "Fervor of the Sands" a long time ago when I made the original Kiya. Kiya's old title was the "Feline of Fervor." So when I made the new Kiya, I just used that guy's suggestion. I do personally think it has a nice ring to it and conveys Kiya's kit and personality, though I do like your suggestions.

In terms of the kit, I was attempting to make a genuinely challenging support for LoL. When I was sitting down to design Kiya, I kept running into situations where I wanted to give this and that, but then I was like, "This is too much for a single skill to have." However, dividing the effects into various options seemed like it would balance out.

Sure, there are a lot of options, but if you look at it in the sense that Kiya still technically has a lot of similar gameplay throughout her kit. Q is a skill-shot, W is an auto-attack move and E is an AoE shield for allies, but the secondary effects are just adjusted as Kiya changes her orb setting.

In addition, if you look at LoL's recent batch of champions, they are getting more complicated in general with more mechanics being inserted into every kit. I believe that Kiya's kit, in time, may be perceived acceptable for the game as well.

But yeah, thank you for taking the time to write a message to me. I am very glad you like Kiya. I hope to add more stuff (e.g. like her full voice set) soon. When stuff like that is added, can I count on you to comment in Kiya's post? :)

What I am really trying to do is spread Kiya's stuff around, so if you have some people who could comment in Kiya's post, that would be very much appreciated.

Again, thank you for writing your message.
