Here is a champion suggestion that came in my mind some day, since I really miss a dwarf hero^^ I already posted it in the german forum, so he is already a bit balanced, but still I would like to hear your opinions and constructive critism. Thanks

Name: Darug
Title: The Runesmith
Race: Dwarf
Class: Supporter

Stats:

Damage: Medium
Life: Medium
Magic: High
Difficulty: - (you should decide that)

Skills:

Rune armor(passive): On the battlefield Darug wears an armor that is provided with magical runes. These runes increase his and his allied champion's mana by 4/8/12% of their max. mana

Rune hammer (Q):
Passive: Darugs hammer is provided with magic runes, which load themselves with each hit and starting from a certain hit can be unloaded. With every hit Darug's runehammer gets a charge and when he gets 6/5/4/3/2 charges the runes are loaded and give Darug +1/2/3/4/5% movement speed (5 times stackable). The runes are only 8s long loaded then the effect runs off. The runes do not load themselves during the CD.
Animation: The runes on the Hammer begin to glow slightly in a ligth blue

Active:
Mana: 60/70/80/90/100
Range: 600
CD: 4/5/6/7/8s
If the runes are loaded Darug can unleash their magic and hurl it on his opponents. The magic of the rune hammer deals 40/80/140/180/220 (+0,5AP) magic damage and slows the target down around the same value as Darug got movement speed by the runes for 5s.
Animation: Darug strikes out with his hammer and a light blue ball of energy flies at the target exploding at the target.

Rune of ardor (W):
Mana: 40/60/80/100/120
Range: 200
CD: 15s
Darug forges a rune of ardor on an allied champion. The rune of ardor gives +5/10/15/20/25 (+0.05AP) basic damage and ability power and +2/4/6/8/10% attack speed to an allied champion. The rune holds for 1 minute and each champion can only have one rune up at the same time.
Animation:He raises his hammer in the air and the hammers flashes and for a second the rune is seen above the target(the rune's look could be similiar to the germanic ones)

Rune of persistence (E):
Mana: 40/60/80/100/120
Range: 200
CD: 15s
Darug forges a rune of persistence on an allied champion. The rune of persistence lends +10/20/30/40/50 armor and magic resist to the champion and regenerates 5/10/15/20/25 life and mana per 5 seconds. The rune holds for 1 minute and each champion can only have one rune up at the same time.
Animation:He raises his hammer in the air and the hammers flashes and for a second the rune is seen above the target(the rune's look could be similiar to the germanic ones)

Rune's Might(Ultimate):
Mana: 100/160/220
Range: Global
CD: 180/150/120s
Darug uses his power and skill in rune-crafting to send out a resounding pulse of energy that ignites the dormant power hiding in runes he has forged. All Rune Buffs on any champions (including the buffs from Rune Hammer) given to champions by Darug release a burst of excess energy as hidden abilities activate. Halves the remaining duration on any affected buffs.

Ardor: Double the bonuses provided by this rune (not including the increase provided by your AP when you cast the buff), and when the buff ends, if the Champion survived, it deals 150/200/250(+0.5AP) magic damage at enemy units in a 250/375/500 AoE range of that champion.

Persistence: Double the Armor and MR provided, and when the duration ends, they are healed for 100/200/300(+0.5 AP) health. If they die during the duration, their Death Timer is halved.

Hammerrunes: Increase your attack speed by half the MS buff. If Rune Hammer is activated, halve the cooldown, and for the remainder of the time the ability would have been on cooldown, halve the number of required charges to gain the buff. The duration of each buff becomes 10/20/30 seconds (this duration isn't halved)
Animation: Darug hits the ground with his hammer and the runes appeare above the ones who are buffed with them for a split second and then they start to get a red(Ardor), purple(Persistence) or light blue(hammerrunes) shining aura(similiar to tarics ulti).

History:
Deeply in the inside of Runeterra there is a kingdom already forgotten, whose inhabitants are of small, thick and bearded nature, briefly said: Dwarves. They are a proud people and therefore the king of the Dwarves have arranged to send the best Dwarf from each handicraft into the upper world, as it the Dwarves call, some years ago. Among them was Darug, the best runesmith of the Kingdom.

Darug's life in the Kingdom of Dwarves was a succesful life. Already in a young age of 30 years, what is like 10 for humans, he learned to forge runes and his Master was impressed on how fast this boy could learn. One year later with 31 Darug himself was already a Master and forged the most powerful runes ever seen in the world of Runeterra and he forged them on weapons and armors, so that every good dwarf warrior who had a lot of money wore a armor and a weapon with runes of Darug. Because of his skilled work and the high prizes of them, he became one of the richest Dwarves in the whole Kingdom, but the money corrupted him and quickly he loved the money more than his friends and family. That lead to him being all alone and with money his only friend left and he became more and more grumpy.
When he became 102 he thought of passing on his handicraft and so he searched for an apprentice but nobody was good enough for him. Afterall he became a perfectionist and no one who wasn't as perfect as he is would be able to become his apprentice.

And so, when Darug was 104, he made his way upwards, with the other best Dwarves of their handicraft, to show the peoples above them the superiority of the Dwarves.
The troop of the most talented Dwarves came in Valoran to the surface, where they then divided themselves.
Darug's handicraft still was completely unknown in the upper world and he didn't found a worthy apprentice, but heard of the league of the legends, whereupon he joined the league to perhaps find a worthy apprentice there one day. Because one thing is certain: Who wants to be a good runesmith, must be an outstanding warrior.

(possible) sayings: (he has a deep, unfriendly voice)
- I am not angry, I look always in such a way! (move)
- I go there because I want to, not because you tell me! (move)
- You can't touch me (move)
- Buy 1 rune at the price of 2!/HALT! Hammertime! (joke)
- That is not for free! (attack)
- Kiss my runehammer!(attack)

Dance animation:

oh come on guys (and girls) 62 views and just 2 comments? (of which 1 was useless) please comment^^

thanks. well yeah the 25 hp/mana per second isnt that OP I think since it's only in the late game where most tanks have already 2500+ hp and that rune is obviously for tanks^^

more comments pls

oh btw I just noticed that in the thread title and in the post are written two different names, the right one is Darug.

*push* ^^''

uhm ok, if you like the hero how he is than you can post it too, I don't just need comments on what is bad/can be made better but also comments on what is good and what you like^^

so one thing I have to ask for: the history is a bit... plain I would say, so maybe any suggestions how to "improve" it?

Balanced the hero and added a changelog. Still hope to get more comments :P
