ORIGINAL CHAMPION CONCEPT
Avia&Moria
Two sisters. One body. Opposing directions of time.
What if time in a MOBA were not a single status effect, but a complete combat system?
Avia&Moria is an original dual-form champion concept for League of Legends. It introduces Time Flow: a unified rule that changes how quickly an affected unit experiences game time. Movement, attacks, casting, projectiles, cooldowns, periodic effects and durations all accelerate or slow together. The champion’s two sisters embody opposite temporal states—Avia creates Overtime from range, while Moria converts that advantage into close-range control.
Time Flow changes the rate at which a unit experiences the game.
Overtime
Actions and cooldown recovery accelerate, while buffs and shields expire sooner.
Time Lag
Actions and projectiles slow, while existing effects remain active for longer.

Only one sister can be corporeal. Switching form rewrites the combat problem.
Avia
Maintains distance, creates additional casting angles and builds Overtime through repeated skill shots.
- Tall, outward six-wing silhouette
- Pale starlight and translucent nebulae
- Establishes temporal advantage
Moria
Enters close range, pulls enemies inward and converts accumulated temporal difference into control and damage.
- Compact cocoon silhouette
- Deep-blue shell fragments and four arms
- Commits and converts advantage
The greater the temporal difference, the greater the pressure.
Avia and Moria deal bonus magic damage to enemies whose Time Flow is lower than their own. Every hit evaluates the difference at impact.
Units entering Overtime or Time Lag can generate Temporal Fragments. Both forms share every collected fragment.
Each stack permanently adds 0.10 percentage points to the sisters’ temporal effects, strengthening the system rather than raw attack stats.
Two kits share one rule but create opposite rhythms.
AVIA DOMINANT
Establish distance
Q / Six-Wing Sequence Three recast waves fire from different wing pairs and stack Overtime when they connect.
W / Twin Transition Avia recedes; Moria arrives with a pulse that damages and applies Time Lag.
E / Synchronous Covenant Links an ally to Avia, grants Overtime and creates a second, reduced projectile angle.
MORIA DOMINANT
Commit at close range
Q / Cocooned Time Theft Pulls enemies through a frontal cone, applies Time Lag and empowers the next attack.
W / Break the Cocoon Dashes before returning to Avia; interruption cancels the transformation.
E / Temporal Absorption Drains nearby enemy time, builds a shield and prepares a conversion attack.
Time Zero turns one champion mechanic into a battlefield condition.
Avia&Moria accelerate themselves while applying an equal Time Lag to every other unit in the field—including champions, minions, monsters, turrets and travelling projectiles. Units recover their previous Time Flow when they leave; an ally linked by Synchronous Covenant can synchronise with the sisters and ignore the field’s delay.
A combat loop built around when—not only where—to commit.
Establish
Avia maintains range and begins widening the temporal difference.
Commit
Switch only when control, fragments and positioning make entry survivable.
Convert
Moria turns temporal advantage into displacement, shielding and close-range damage.
Reset or escalate
Return to range when the exchange becomes unsafe—or accelerate the fight further.
The project treats time as an interconnected ruleset rather than a collection of unrelated speed buffs and slows.

ContributionIndependent project. I defined the Time Flow system, designed the dual-form champion kit and progression model, developed the sisters’ contrasting silhouettes and visual language, tested numerical relationships, and produced the complete concept presentation.
