I would say that her W is broken. 150 damage and 25% reduction for 2.5 seconds seems fair, especially if you add slow component to that. Then, it is point and click, which is strong for 10 seconds cooldown. However, when you give reset to that every time enemy deals damage, it gets really OP. It is either infinite duration(on lower ranks players don't stop attacking, look at Kharazim's R) or 2.5 seconds polymorph with slow and DOT. I think you should prolong the cooldown or/and make one enemy limit.

Also, her R Banish is too strong. Teleporting an enemy to base means removing him from the fight approximately 15 seconds(if the objective is in the middle). This is OP, considering Maiev gives her enemy 4 second stasis. That said, it cannot be used for securing kill. However, if you remove healer from teamfight for so long, his team is in huge disadvantage. What I recommend you is to either add more counterplay by making the skillshot extremely slow or nerfing the effect by giving enemy movement speed bonus, like Junkrat gets after using his ult. My other nerf idea is that it sends both enemy and Ysera to their respective Halls of Storm.

Overall good concept, really feels like Ysera. I want this to grow. If you want, I can(but not very quickly) draw some HD icons for these abilities to make them look more modern. Also, I can make a splash art for Ysera, so it will attract eye more. Maybe later, if everything is finished, I will design some VFX.

Thank you so much on the replay!

W Slumber- It was indeed broken, I wanted to keep the infinite duration mechanism so I've reduced its damage duration and slow amount, while also increased the cd. So its easier to get rid of and not as effective.

R Banish- I agree with you it was a bit too much. i wouldn't change just the skillshot speed because than with a bit help of cc it would be op again. I really liked your idea of sending both enemy and Ysera to their respective Halls of Storm! I also increased the cd so it will be less spamable.

I'm honored you want to make stuff for this concept! and I'll be more than happy for some HD icons and anything you want to make! so you are welcomed to do whatever you would like! at your own pace of course.

I will try to make something for you soon then. Do you have some specific wishes for these icons? I have some ideas myself.

D - green, shiny spiral is okay. All I have to do is to avoid overlap with Alextrasza's Q.
Q - some green flame is the most obvious, unless you want that dragon head to stay.
W - sleeping eye is fine. However, I wonder whether its icon should look more offensive. It is up to you.
E - what about bluish silhoutte of running Ysera?
R1 - open draconic eye shining with colourful light, just like in canon describtion of her eyes.
R2 - this really depends on how do you imagine the teleport animation. I think, the ult could be first shiny projectile and then enemy and Ysera fading away, however, you might prefer something more flashy. Maybe pushing both players into base but that would mean some delay in the teleportation time, which would affect balance. Again, up to you.

I don't have any specific ideas, yours sounds good overall!

D- I like how the spiral has gentle rays of light coming out of it's center, I think this element will make it more different than Alextrasza's Q.
Q- Sounds good, just has to look different than Gul'dan's Q.
W- i don't think the icon should look very offensive, as its an anti offensive ability.
E- Perfect!
R1- Perfect!
R2- More like the first interpretation, a bit shinier though. it will create a green glow over the location of the enemy and Ysera for a moment after teleportation. So anything between just a green glowing abstract shape maybe around a "fading" humanoid or even a glowing hand (Ysera's) pointing in a direction in an 'ordering' way.

D - okay
Q - I will make cooler(less warm) shade of green. Also, i will go for a bit different shape.
W - That face in HD, then?
R2 - I see.

Sounds good!

W- Pretty much, of course you can add some changes if you think they fit the new design of the other icons (the color etc...).
