PS: If you missed it, there's my other custom champion Montgomery, as well.
Another custom champion, this time a revisit of an older concept people didn't really seem to see or care about (rightfully, I must add, it wasn't very good) So, after much reworking with a smaller time scale and newer concept I re-present to you Tess, the Inciter of the Sands, a support Mage Champion.
Tess is a Support/Mage Champion with melee range and slight map control under the 'Of the Sands' moniker (she's a golem animal person). To this end the concept is simple and the playstyle is very forward and thematic. And just as such, due to her passive expert use of her abilities is rewarded. If you have any feedback, feel free to leave it. I do love critique.
Lore[]
In a far off desert-like world there was once a peace between the humans and the animalistic beings that dwelled there. These beings served as scholars and lore keepers, mages and healers all; guiding these race of humans as kind, yet powerful beings. As a powerful diviner and mediator Tess was no different, her vast knowledge of incantations and her ability as a healer graced her with a wide breadth on her world. Like others of her kind she could sense the natures of those that sought her guidance, and would use her arcane knowledge to protect those from harm. This peace, and her role, would change in due time.
,Over the years her view of these humans began to skew as her powers heightened. Worse yet, she was not alone in this 'enlightenment' as once peaceful members of her kind gave in to their darker tendencies. At first she was reluctant herself at the thought of fighting amongst the empire they had built with these beings and even her own people, yet these misgivings soon quieted as her empathetic powers grew with her strength and knowledge, her power slowly drew from a new, plentiful source: the turmoil instilled of others. For the years to follow she would freely aid those who came to her for her guidance, feeding on the hope or misery that was brought before her. Those that saw through her dark practices or had no intention of fighting soon changed their ways as her once peaceful incantions were used to further strengthen her, inevitably bringing her closer to the inevitable fray with each passing dispatchment. Among the fighting and the bloodshed one fateful day she felt the tug of a far away magic, witnessing as a chosen few of the hundreds present were plucked from the battlefield and taken off world. And after that, there was nothing.
Paragraph 3: After the longest time in what felt like an eternity in limbo, Tess would re-emerge within an unknown land. The war of her people became an afterthought as the waves of unrest surged through her, the scars from wars long past reviving her in a manner of moments and the taste of battles still waging far off drawing her attention. With her strength renewed and her hunger for power not sated she gravitated on toward of this new font of power, not knowing what or whom she'd find. But knowing that she would be 'content' for a long, long time, once it was devoured entirety.

Essentially like Zilean's Timebomb with an Expunge/Swiftend mechanic rolled into it.

Not unlike Ahri's Charm, with more of a flavor/usage/leniency.

Change Log[]
- 04 / Some buffs, some nerfs
- Clarified in her stats that she's Melee, updated her tags and roles to reflect current champion roles.
- Passive - Lowered the mana gained from dealing damage and raised the mana gained from Healing. Tess healing herself provides reduced mana.
- (Q) - Increased the mana cost, adjusted/lowered the cooldown at later ranks, clarified some tooltip stuff.
- (W) - Lowered the mana cost and some of the scaling
- (E) - Lowered the cooldown, lowered the AP scaling, lowered the mana costs, and took of the ability to heal and made it so that the first pulse silences.
- (R) - Took off the shield scaling with damage and made it a flat shield. Now gives Bonus Health.
- 03 / Slight Updates
- (Q) Made the premature detonation effect scale over the course of 5 seconds. Decided against this before the initial change as it meant one may lose out too much on the damage effect, weighing it on how others felt 'bout it. This new version makes a bit more sense.
- (E) Adjusted the mana cost from 100r1-200r5 to 100r1-300r5.
- 02 / Pre-S3 updates
- Adjusted her movement speed to match S3 champion changes.
- Updated/put in recommended items.
- Added Emptylord's Riah, Plight of of the Sands' part in her backstory. Sorry 'bout that lateness, friend.
- Updated her lore a bit (they're all empathetic blokes to a degree).
- 01 / 1st day Post-release updates
- (Q) Redone - Now places a HoT/DoT on the target that will detonate at the end of it's duration. Ability can be activated again to detonate the effect prematurely to add a buff/debuff to an enemy for 4 seconds. Buffed the AP overall AP scaling to .8, up from .6
* Couple of grammatical changes.
- Re-Initial Submission
- (Innate): Nasus's Soul Eater with mana instead of health.
- (Q): Single target targeted Dot/HoT that will harm or heal for 5 seconds. Can be activated again within that time to do the 5 second damage/healing all at once. Designed like Zilean's Time Bomb and Twitch's Expunge.
- (W): Skillshot taunt that will explode on impact, like Anivia's Flash Frost. Taunt is slightly unique, in that it makes enemy units fight whomever they're near.
- (E): Ranged unit toss and PBAOE that heals or harms on landing, like Maokai's Sapling Toss and Nasus's Spirit Fire. Champions under the effects of Incite can attack the totems, but deal no damage to it.
- (R): Obligatory "Of the Sands Embiggeing Spell"
- Old Abilities
- (Innate: Ominous Luck): Karsima and her allies get a layered aura that reduces damage taken per charge (Like Visage's or Malphite's passives). Damage done to Karsima herself reflects a % of the damage.
- (Q: Weave Fate): Stackable HoT/DoT that could be applied to up to 2 allies/enemies
- (W: Matrix Pull): Forced Movement buff that could be applied to allies or enemies. Gave a spell shield if applied to an ally.
- (E: Diviner's Reach): (Passive) Gave 10 extra vision, ward vision, and attack range per rank. (Active) 'Detonated' and consumed Q after a channel, much like Swiftmend/Expunge. Cooldown was reduced for each application detonated.
- (R: Boon of the Harbinger): (Passive) Gives a discount on Oracle Potions. (Active) Longer Ranged/Global Hawkshot that placed a ward when it 'landed'. Vision scaled (stealth seeing and otherwise) with the player's own vision.
