Why not use Morgoth/Melkor? Why make Manwe the bad guy? It's like turning Gandalf evil; it just doesn't work.


Don't lie, an evil Gandalf would be awesome.
Before you ask why, think for a moment, why not.

Because melkor or morgoth can't control the wind.

Manwe can.

Also even though manwe doe snot comprehend evil,I'm pretty sure he comprehends justice.

Alrighty, so first off you have Air Cutter which is a really great nuke and harass ability.

Air Rush is a good initiation skill.

And if we make Wall of the Wild Wind Manwe's ultimate that would make it an incredible zoning skill, with a few tweaks of course as I know this was not your original intention.

A nice combo I could see would be AIR RUSH (Initiation) >>> WALL OF THE WILD WIND (Teamfight and zoning) >>> AIR CUTTER (Nuke to pick off straglers.

So here is one idea.

Jetstream: Manwe shifts the planet's jetstream to a desireable direction. If an enemy attempts to move in the opposite direction of the jetstream they have their movement speed and attack speed lowered.

Duration: 4/5/6/7
Movement Slow: 40%
Attack Speed Slow: 40%
Cooldown: 30
Mana Cost: 150

Ability dimensions:
Jetstream length: 700
Jetstream width: 300
Cast Range: 400
Cast point: .5

Notes: So if their team is attempting to run in the opposite direction from you, you can throw down this ability forcing them to either turn and fight you which may result in a kill for you, or they can keep running which still poses the risk of them dying.. This combos fairly well with the rest of Manwe's abilities as well

I wrote this up in about 10 minutes so any critics on this skill would be greatly appreciated as well.

See yall 'round,

-BK :D

Hey, I have made it as an Ultimate for him. It immobilzes the enemies and blow them to the end of the jetstream. This skill can be paired with Black Hole, Wall of Replica, and more :3
