[Champion Concept] Ariel, the Poromancer
So, Banshee was a pretty serious/scary champion concept. I thought I'd lighten the mood with a silly champion like Ariel. Her kit revolves around making poros do her bidding.
Appearance/Character
Ariel is a really nice, friendly girl, maybe a bit of a klutz, and she gets the poros to do what she wants by feeding them. Technically the term "poromancer" would mean something like "one who does magic involving poros", but there's no real magic involved here besides procuring Poro-Snax. All Ariel does is toss out snacks in certain ways to attract poros.
Poros in themselves are harmless critters, only interested in eating, sleeping, and other poro-related matters. A poro will never intentionally hurt a person, but they can certainly be used to inconvenience one's enemies!
Ariel has red hair and is maybe 25-30 years old. She's attractive enough (because Rito won't make a female champion who's not marginally attractive), and has a bubbly disposition, something like Lux's. I have no idea who she'd be associated with lore-wise, maybe Braum if we find out he has a pet poro?
Abilities
####Passive: Poro-Snax Packs
-
Ariel has no power over the poros unless she can feed them. Instead of mana, Ariel uses Poro-Snax for her abilities and generates 6 Poro-Snax per minute, carrying 4 sacks of Poro-Snax around her waist that hold 30 Poro-Snax each (120 Poro-Snax (P.S. from here on) to start). One item slot is reserved for this purpose (i.e. she starts with the P.S. packs item at no cost), and she can upgrade her P.S. packs (at gold cost) through three different paths, similar to Viktor's Hex Core items.
-
Path 1: Poro-Snax Potency
-
Potent Poro-Snax
- This increases the duration of all of Ariel's abilities
-
Perfectly Potent Poro-Snax
- This increases the duration of, and adds special effects to, Ariel's abilities.
-
Path 2: Poro-Snax Production
-
Poro-Snax Producer
- This increases Ariel's P.S. production from her base production of 6 per minute, to 10 per minute.
-
Professional Poro-Snax Producer
- This increases P.S. production to 12 per minute, and reduces Ariel's Cooldowns by 10%
-
Path 3: Six Poro-Snax Packs
-
Six Poro-Snax Packs
- This adds 2 sacks of P.S., increasing Ariel's max P.S. to 180.
-
Six Snazzy Poro-Snax Packs
- This upgrades all of Ariel's P.S. packs to hold 40 each, increasing her maximum P.S. to 240.
####Q: Poor Poro! (2/3/4/5/6 P.S.)
- Ariel summons a single poro at a target location. Enemy champions who encounter the poro are overcome by its cuteness, and charmed toward it for (0.5/0.75/1/1.25/1.5) seconds. Enemies cannot be charmed twice by the same poro.
- The poro remains on the ground for (4/6/8/10/12) seconds and cannot be injured.
- Perfectly Potent bonus: The poro remains on the ground for an additional 1 second per level (maximum 17 seconds at level 5). Each person who is charmed toward the poro feeds it 2 PS. If all 5 enemies are charmed, the poro will have consumed 10 PS and explodes into 8 poros, dealing very low physical damage to anyone hit (like 5 damage or something).
W: Hail of Poros (10/12/14/16/18 P.S.)
- Ariel scatters a handful of PS over an area. Poros rain down from the sky to gobble up the Snax, each dealing (5/10/15/20/25 + 0.3AP) physical damage if they hit an enemy.
- Perfectly Potent bonus: the duration of Hail of Poros is increased by 20%
E: Borrow a Poro (2/4/6/8/10 P.S.)
- Ariel lends a poro to an allied champion, who gains increased HP regen, MR, and movement speed for the duration (based on Ariel's AP).
- These poros have HP based on Ariel's AP and can be damaged by any spell. The poro is extremely nimble and cannot be basic attacked, but it will intercept projectiles as a normal minion would. The bonus stats end if the poro dies.
- Perfectly Potent bonus: the duration of Borrow a Poro is increased, and the target also gains a very minor attack speed buff.
R: The Problem With Poros (1 ---> 30 P.S. (or up to 40 with six PS packs))
- Ariel "accidentally" spills one of her sacks of PS. A veritable flood of poros swarms around it, numbering 5 per snack dropped. Enemies are slowed/snared by the sheer volume of poros around them (unless they have phantom dancer or ghost etc to avoid unit collision). These poros also have HP based on Ariel's AP, and can be easily cleared by AOE spells. Allies do not collide with the poros.
- There is a minimum of 5 poros (1 Snax) and a maximum of 200 poros (40 Snax).
So yeah. Rhyming and Alliteration and Tongue-Twisters galore! Ariel is pretty much just a joke champion concept, but I thought it would be funny if there was a Poromancer in the League of Legends.
Let me know what you think!
