About Knull
When all that existed was the darkness there was Knull and he thrived in it. But when the Celestial’s creations began consuming his Living Abyss with radiant light, he retaliated. Knull felled one of these primordial gods, absorbing its power and forming All-Black, the Necrosword. With the power of the Celestials on his side and sheer darkness as his weapon, Knull spawned an army of his own, the Symbiotes. Creatures formed from darkness and fear and designed to extinguish the light.
Knull's Mechanics
Knull wields All-Black the Necrosword, which he uses to inflict Instant Bleeds. He also commands a hive of Symbiotes, stripping away Armor Up Buffs and allowing him to restore Health. Knull can take control over any fight by Corrupting his Opponents, drastically lowering their Combat Power Rate, inflicting Armor Breaks and reversing their controls.

Also, why do you guys keep adding abilities or functions to champions that only apply when they are on defense so that if we obtain them we don't get to benefit directly from it but having to fight them ourselves is harder? It is the same thing that you sometimes do with putting restrictions on champs when we use them that don't apply when we have to fight them like with Air Walker not being able to use SP3 when we play him until we get multiple kills in with him which also means we can never use his SP3 in arena. I think that is a lousy design strategy you guys are using sometimes.
