He rides a griffin!

[Insert WIP art here]

Altair = The rider. He's a white/light blue Yordle. This is his face [WIP].
Aderyn = The griffin. She's a griffin.
Boom.

Health: 450 (+80) - 1890 at Level 18 (5/10)
Mana: 230 (+49) - 1112 at Level 18 (5/10)
Attack Damage: 49 (+3.2) = 106.6 at Level 18 (4/10)
Attack Speed: 0.625 (+1.728%) = 0.8194 at Level 18 (3/10)
Range: 500 (3/10)
Health Regen.: 7.0 (+0.7)
Mana Regen: 7.0 (+0.6)
Armor: 20 (+3) = 74 at Level 18 (4/10)
Magic Res.: 30 (+0.75) = 43.5 at Level 18 (5/10)
Mov. Speed: 325 (9/10)

Weapon reference

Ranged Attack Projectile description: A lightning ball. So creative~

Passive: Anticyclone Wings
Aderyn's wings absorb the wind where they fly through, leaving a trail where she passes by which slows enemies that stand on them by 10% of their movement speed. Additionally, her movement speed is increased by 2% every 3 levels.

Q: Reducto Ray
Altair spins his glaive, generating an electric current that discharges a lightning at the target enemy, dealing 60/90/120/150/180 (+0.5:AP) magic damage and slowing it by 20%/25%/30%/35%/40% for 2 seconds. Half the slow is applied to enemy champions around the original target. This skill can be cast twice before going on cooldown if Tornado Blade is active. The second cast deals half damage. Both casts will cost mana. The slow doesn't stack, but it does refresh itself.

Cast Range: 500/650/800/950/1100 The range scales with level because he isn't meant to be an almighty outlaner but this skill needs to meet an intention late game.
AoE Radius: 435
Cooldown: 9/8/7/6/5 seconds
Mana Cost: 70


W: Tornado Blade
Altair sends his glaive to the target location, where it remains spinning for 4 seconds, dealing 30/35/40/45/50 (+0.3:AP) magic damage per second to enemies it touches. For the duration of this skill, Altair can cast it again once every second to move the glaive to another location close to the last one.
Cast Range: 600
AoE Radius: 320
Movement Range: 415 per cast
Cooldown: 15/13/11/9/7 seconds after end of effect
Mana Cost: 80


E: Aquila Delta
After 0.5 seconds, Aderyn and Altair gain 20 movement speed and start flying toward the target enemy champion. Their speed increases as the flight persists. They become immune to slows, snares and silences for the duration of the flight. When they reach the target, Aderyn and Altair crush it, briefly knocking it back and dealing 10/40/70/100/130 (+20/25/30/35/40% of their movement speed after the end of the flight) magic damage to it. The flight can be cancelled by casting the skill again and will end automatically 6 seconds after being cast (cap).
Speed increase: +20 per second
Minimum Cast Range: 700
Cast Range: 1700/1800/1900/2000/2100 The range increases with level because... 2100 early on is too much and 1700 later on is too little.
Cooldown: 25/23/21/19/17 seconds
Mana Cost: 100


R: Storming Gale
Altair manipulates the atmospheric pressure around his target enemy, stunning it for 1.5 second and dealing 150/250/350 (+0.6:AP) magic damage and making winds volley around it, increasing the speed of friendly champions in the area by 45%.
Cast Range: 800
AoE Radius: 725
Cooldown: 110/100/90 seconds
Mana Cost: 100


Now, please allow me to explain how Altair works and what's unique about him.
First, as you should have noticed, he is excellent at chasing and is excellent at running away. His E makes him probably the best chaser in the game, coupled with his Q and his passive. His ultimate allows his friends to run away from danger and keep an enemy away from them, or to keep an enemy from running away and speed up friends, or a thousand other things. It can be used offensively or supportively/defensively, like Flash and Ghost. His E makes him an excellent assassin too, but in isolated occasions. At level 18, if he unloads all his skills successfully and with their maximum potential on a single target, he will deal around 1250 magic damage (without any AP), with only 200 magic damage being AoE. His damage potential can be compared to Rumble's. Rumble can deal over 1300 damage by hitting all his skills (without any AP, at level 18), but that is moderately difficult to achieve. While being easier and weaker than Rumble, however, Altair is ranged. This allows him to play teamfights much like a regular caster using his Q, W and, sometimes, R. His E is an off-teamfight skill (mostly; in teamfights, it could be used for positioning or to catch up on who's fleeing). All his skills have a moderately decent scaling. Anyway, notice how his Q and W work altogether - they allow each other to work more efficiently. I think that would be really fun in-game, hoho. Sometimes I think of his W as a ranged Garen thingy.

All this power in his skillset is pulled down by his base stats, however. All are average or slightly below average and he is item dependent. Also, he can't get really tanky without getting weaker, since all of his skills deal magic damage and his damage span isn't as fast as other casters', like Annie's, Vladimir's or Veigar's.

Can't think of anything else. Coming back later if I think of anything new.

Certainly a very cool and unique champion.

His passive seems like a lot of fun, and is unique as well. However can you controll the pet with Alt-rightclick?

Q, Fun skill, but just too strong 50% slow is extremely high plus 2 times 180(+0.7AP) is just to much especially since it's not a skillshot or anything and just click target skill.
If it coul have only been casted once it would have been UP, but since it can be casted when W is active, which is quite often, it's too strong.

I suggest the following lowering the AP ratio a bit, the slow a bit, increase the CD when it's casted twice and drastically decrease the 1100 range (maybe also reduce base damage by 5 or 10).
Also I assume second cast also cost 70 mana

W, Fun skill, fairly unique, not to OP, imo you should only increase the final CD a bit, by 1 or 2 sec. (15/13.5/12/10.5/9 seconds, maybe)

E, fun skill, a bit similar to rammus Powerball, maybe the range is a bit to high but that's all.

R, Seems like a good and decent skill, good job.

Overall the only other thing I would recommend is to make the mana cost of skills scale per lvl.

For the rest, awesome champion, I think he will look good :D and will be a lot of fun to play.

Good job.

Would you mind looking at my champion:

Haha! I was expecting such comment.

Good idea.

Q is a bit OP. If you have 500 AP (which is very common), you deal 180+300 and theres the possibility of casting twice.
Total damage = 960
Change the AP ratio to 0.3

W seems good, especially the part that you can move the blade

E is OK

Ult is OK

The passive still makes me think. Idk if that 10% slow can be helpful, try to change it to another effect

The second cast deals half damage. So, if you have 500 AP, you deal 180+300 + 90+150 damage, which is 720 damage. Also, both casts cost mana AND it needs to be synched with Tornado Blade.
If you want to, consider the damage 270 (+0.9:AP). But also consider that it's not ALWAYS 270 (+0.9).
His passive was different earlier today, it used to reduce 63 MS at level 18 and increase MS by around 70. I changed it to 10% and 12% respectively, which is, basically, halved effect. It's in a fine state, he's already unchaseable enough.

Thanks for the feedback.
