Hello all, but mostly fans of League of Legends. If you were fans at all of my recent champion suggestion, 'Misha, the Fists of Colossus' then i hope you enjoy Valen, the Unshakeable Vanguard.
Enjoy :)

Lore-
Valen was a kind man, and well-respected among his fellow men in Demacia as a gentleman and a well-trained guard. He took it upon himself to be always on guard in his village to protect everyone at all costs, for as a child he watched many friends and loved ones fall in battle and swore when of age, he would protect the innocent so useless blood need not be shed. Late one evening in his village, the sound of screams were heard coming from a thick fog billowing over the homes. Valen sprinted from his bed donned with his shield and sword prepared to lay down his life. From the fog he saw, demacians, an army of the dead villagers from long ago, being led by Hecarim. With a terrifying roar the army surged through the village, man then woman then child falling one by one, no longer able to dictate friend or foe in the dense fog. Valen did his best during the onslaught to distinguish friend from foe, but sadly was unable to, and his blade took the life of his wife who got caught in the battle. Hecarim declared he had enough fun, and drew back the spectre army, leaving Valen to weep at the bodies of his friends, family, and loving wife.
The next months were horrifying for Valen, unable to sleep, his rest was plagued with the screams of the people, and his wife, he failed to save, spending all day and night in the taverns just to stay awake. Valen was about to give up all hope until a gigantic man entered the tavern, Valen gazed intently until his blurred vision returned to normal to set his eyes on Galio. Galio looked down at him and told Valen he heard of the night he lost his wife, but also heard of the many lives he did save. Valen stood up and slammed his fist into the table and yelled, “What good am I as a fighter if I couldn’t save everyone.” Galio looked sternly back into Valen’s eyes and said, “People don’t need a fighter, they need a protector, you.” Valen’s eye lite up at Galio’s words, and at that moment Valen declared he would never hold a sword again, and upon that day to honor his wife, he would replace his weapon with a second shield, to remind himself always that he is a guardian. The next day, Valen left with Galio, and journeyed to the league of legends. He would honor those who fell under his watch by protecting everyone against the horror of Hecarim and all other evil that plagues the innocent.
- Only in failure does a man realize how to set right what he once wronged. – Galio

This is actually a really good champ idea, in my opinion. I'm not usually a tank or a support person, but I definitely like the idea of this champion. That Ulti is gonna hurt and I like how it also makes the enemy safe from ally champions as well. It gives it a double edged nature.

now this would be a cool champ to use if he ever becomes one

I also sympasize with him, Hecarim scares the living crap outa me on the fields of Justice, im gettin used to him since its free week for him again, but still i dont like facing him

though the spikes inside the shield look more like they'd hurt him more than an enemy, unless he has it facing the other way... :shrug:

Yea alot of people say that, but i wanted the spikes to match with the idea of his lore and just think an iron maiden for an ult is awesome lol.

yea, i think one thing that could be interesting, considering its an iron maiden, his abilities cost health instead of mana. like how mundo, mordekaiser and vlad have

though his moves to me sound like he'd be a tank/support possibly
