[Champion Concept] Montgomery, the Tin Tyrant

Rubitonabuilding·3/22/2014, 5:10:45 PM·2 votes·637 views

I started this concept around the idea of a champion with a bayonet. Naturally he evolved into a military man, and I figured why not have some fun and make him into an oversized tin soldier?

Montgomery is a military man through and through, but he only came to life when a mage's spell accidentally hit a child's toy. He is a ruthless tyrant, commanding respect through savage acts and heroic efforts on the battlefield.

Passive: Decorated War Hero

Montgomery permanently earns medals and badges for completing various tasks throughout the game. Each medal gives him a different stat buff or effect. I'll list all of the possible medals after the rest of his abilities.

Q: Rifle/Sword

Montgomery can swap between ranged (rifle) and melee (sword) basic attacks at no cost (short cooldown like jinx's q). When in ranged mode, Montgomery sacrifices attack speed for critical chance (and when I say sacrifices, I mean he loses a LOT of attack speed). Ranged attacks consume mana per shot.

W: No Mercy

Montgomery is ruthless, showing no mercy to his enemies. His basic attacks passively gain (1/1.5/2/2.5/3)% bonus damage for each 10% health the target is missing.

E: Run 'em Through

Montgomery stabs his opponent with his bayonet, dealing critical damage and slowing them briefly. (Can be used while Montgomery is in either ranged or melee mode)

R: Bombardment

Montgomery summons (2/4/6) large cannons that fire 3 shots each in the same parallel direction of his choosing (with a reload time between shots). Enemies hit are knocked back slightly and take massive physical damage.

Passive: Decorated War Hero Possible Medals to Earn

  1. Kill 100 minions/monsters (gain x AD)
  2. Kill 200 minions/monsters (gain 2*x AD)
  3. Kill 300 minions/monsters (gain 3*x AD)
  4. Destroy or assist with 2 turrets (gain x Armor Pen)
  5. Destroy or assist with 4 turrets (gain 2*x Armor Pen)
  6. Destroy or assist with 6 turrets (gain 3*x Armor Pen)
  7. Get a triple kill (gain x Attack Speed)
  8. Get a quadra kill (gain 2*x Attack Speed)
  9. Get a penta kill (gain 3*x Attack Speed)
  10. Get a kill in the enemy base (gain x Critical Chance)
  11. Get a kill in home base (gain 2*x Critical Chance)
  12. Get executed (gain x Movement Speed)
  13. Gain legendary status (gain a shield similar to (runic shield? (the mastery shield)))
  14. Get 10 kills (gain x Armor)
  15. Get 20 kills (gain 2*x Armor)
  16. Get 30 kills (gain 3*x Armor)
  17. Get 10 assists (gain x MR)
  18. Get 20 assists (gain 2*x MR)
  19. Get 30 assists (gain 3*x MR)
  20. Kill an opponent with no help (gain x max HP)
  21. Kill an opponent with everyone's help (i.e. all 4 allies get an assist) (gain 2*x max HP)
  22. Destroy or assist with an inhibitor (gain x Armor Pen)
  23. Take an enemy's jungle camp (gain x Movement Speed)
  24. Kill an epic monster (Dragon/Baron Nashor/Vile-Maw) (gain x HP regen per sec)
  25. IF you manage to earn ALL 24 previous medals (in no particular order), you get the 25th medal and a super stats buff.

Note the x's are just placeholders, they are not all the same number. Progress medals like 100/200/300 minions DO NOT stack on each other, they just increase the stat by the same amount each time.

Montgomery does not lose medals when he dies, unlike Rengar who loses some of his trophies.

Some bonus hidden medals (that don't actually give stat buffs, they're just for fun) could include:

  1. Medal of Valor: Kill Quinn's bird Valor
  2. Nobel Peace Prize: Have 0 kills, 0 deaths, and 0 assists at 20 minutes
  3. Unbreakable: Have 0 deaths at 30 minutes
  4. Feeder: Die without inflicting any damage on your attacker
  5. Fall of the Void: Kill 5 void-based champions (can be the same one over and over)

Please take a second to vote whether you'd play Montgomery, and let me know what you think of him in the comments. Any feedback is always appreciated.

Seems like a fun champ, hope riot puts him in.

he seems like he would get stale very fast, and the only truly unique thing he has is his medals, which seem neat, but would be better served as a full game change that any champ can benefit from IMO.

I don't really have anything to add here, except that I'd love to work on the visual concept with you. You can add me on League and such and we can work on it together.

( Also, I love the answer "Never. He's stupid." in your poll. Made me laugh. )
