Yet Another Velen?

I know, I know, there are half a dozen Velen concepts posted every day. We're all pretty sick of them now.

Here's my one anyway.

So what does this Velen do?

Velen is a very strong but very fragile support hero, who has very powerful healing abilities and some effective damage abilities, but totally lacks any form of mobility or self-protection.

His talent trees allow him to build into a number of different playstyles, including the hard-nuking Q build, the extreme single-target protection of his W-build, or the waveclear and group healing of his E build.

Choosing the right heroic ability at level 10 is vital, determining whether to be a bulwark supporting your team with some of the strongest protection in the game with Power Word: Barrier, or becoming a strategic global presence, capable of turning the tide in any battle at a moment's notice with Transcendence.
