Poro-based Champion Idea

Piercing arrows and sharp bolts of magic flew around the battlefield, while the brisk wind of the Freljord whipped through the air and bit at its inhabitants. A young poro dashed along, leaping and frolicking through the snow, completely unaware of the war being waged around him. All too late, the small creature realized the danger he was in, and made a dash for a nearby brush. Feeling safer in the protection of the tall, frosted grass, the poro poke his head out, just in time to see a volley of arrows mere seconds from impact. Dread took hold of the poro and he froze. He shut his eyes tight and shook, knowing this was his end. Suddenly a tremor and a hearty laugh snapped the poro from his fear. He looked up to see an enormous figure above him, holding a great door riddles with arrows. He was saved! The poro gazed, with a twinkle of wonder in his eye, at the door man, who laughed once more and patted the poro’s head, before disappearing in the snowy mist. He didn’t understand why, but he wanted desperately to follow his savior, so he continued to run, determined to find the man with the great door. His travels were grand and arduous, filled with obstacle that stood in his way. He rose to every challenge, inspired and spurned by the man who saved his life. Eventually his travels brought him to an enchanted glen, lush greenery surrounded the poro on all sides, and a pristine pond lie at its center. The poro stared at the water’s surface, transfixed. A woman emerged from the pond, hoisting herself up the side. Strangely, the water didn’t ripple even once, and the woman was dry. She smiled at the poro and spoke, telling him that she had been watching him. He had more bravery and heart than any she had seen before, and she said would grant him one wish. He just wanted to find the man with the door, to be able to repay him for his kindness. The woman nodded and faded away, and the poro felt himself falling asleep, exhausted and weary from his travels. When the poro awoke, the glen was gone. He was lying in a forest, and there was no sign of the pond or the woman who had appeared, but he felt strange. He pushed himself off the forest floor and stopped. He stared at his hands. He had hands! He stood up and searched for a nearby stream, wanting to look at himself. As he examined his new form in the water, a familiar voice rang out in his head. “Head for the League of Legends, you will find what you are looking for there.” Now that he was human, the poro decided he needed a name. In his travels he had heard one human word many times. Vask.

Vask, the Bravest Poro Vask is a young man who was once a poro, but was given the form of a human so that he can repay a debt. Despite his now human form, Vask is still filled with the pure heartedness and kindness of a poro, and as such does not have the capacity to cause harm. This makes Vask the first ever champion to have no form of direct enemy damage.

Health: 402 (+78 per level) Health Regen: 4.5 (+0.55 per level) Mana: 310 (+65 per level) Mana Regen: 7.1 (+0.60 per level) Attack Damage: 30 (+2.6 per level) Attack Speed: 0.325 (+1.5% per level) Armor: 21 (+4.1 per level) Magic Resist: 30 (+0 per level) Movement Speed: 360 Passive – Mender: Vask’s can attack allies and his attacks heal rather than dealing damage. These auto attacks are just like regular auto attacks, they scale with AD, and are reduced by armor, as well at trigger on-hit effects.

Q – Poro Snax: Cost: 80/100/120/160/180 Range: 350 Cooldown: 18/16/14/12/10 Vask heals his target for 50/100/150/200/250 (+40% Ability Power) and grants them 10/20/30/40/50 (+5% Ability Power) bonus attack damage for the next 3 seconds.

W – Truth/Valor/Innocence: Cost: 85 Cooldown: 3.5/3/2.5/2/1.5 Passive: Vask emits an aura that effects nearby units. When units leave range or after cycling off an aura, the buff will persist for 5 seconds. Active: Cycles through auras, in the order of Truth, Valor, then Innocence. Truth: Vask gains 10/15/20/25/30 armor and magic resist Valor: Nearby allies gain 5/10/15/20/25% attack speed. Range 125 Innocence: Nearby enemy attack speed is lowered by 1/2/3/4/5% (+1% Ability Power) Range 500

E – Big Dough Eyes Cost: 50/80/110/140/170 Range: 750 Cooldown: 22/20/18/16/14 Vask fires a straight line skill shot that charms the first champion it hits. The charmed champion walks in a straight line toward Vask. When the charm wears off, that champion’s damage is reduced by 3/6/9/12/15% for 3 seconds.

R – Poro Stampede! Cost: 150 Range: 500 Cooldown: 120/100/80 seconds Summons 1/2/3 Poros that charge enemy champions in their line of sight. When hit by a poro, enemy champions are stunned for 1 seconds as the poro knocks them down and jumps on them, licking them. The poro then runs in circles around them for 2 seconds, reducing movement speed by 80%.

I only recently started working on this so you can call it a work in progress, but I wanted to get some feedback and opinions on it. It's easy to develop tunnel vision when trying to be creative and I want to get some perspective. Please rate, let me know what you think and what I can or should tweak. I would love to hear your critiques!

I quite like this except for the fact that he's in human form. I would just love to see a giant Poro ("normal" size if you want, but it'd be hilarious to see one the size of Nautilus or a Cho'Gath with his ult fully ranked with some amount of Feast stacks.
