Oh I don’t know what it does, because I don’t care. You see a door, you kick it down, it’s my job. Now give me the damn suit!

###Lore


Zaun’s streets always carried a pungent odor and a shady crowd, evolving to the markets both white and black. There’s a history in every stone, and for one who’s been around the block, Maud had certainly claimed the keystone.

Times were tougher than, but she wouldn’t have had it any other way. Never one for the pretenses of society, a young Maud made her living off the streets of Piltover, stealing whatever she could get her hands on. Gold and riches never reached her hands, but a promise of which was delivered to her in return for lab work in Zaun with an eccentric scientist. It was knee high in chemicals, a splattered brain on the road, and a tin can rolling at her feet when she realized what she had been missing. It was an adrenaline lifestyle, moving from lab to lab, disaster to detonation, life and limb on the razor’s edge. Eventually she grew bored with the waiting in-between catastrophes, and decided she would leave the labs and hit the road.

She was at every jailbreak, escape, riot, and fistfight in Zaun before she noticed the real issues at hand. It was not about why they threw fists, or shot at each other, but rather who was supposed to take the dirt nap. It was a political game of death, corporate sabotage, and assassination.

She thought it needed a new player.

A few accidents, a wayward bullet, and a misplaced letter landed her in front of the most dangerous men in the world. She left with a limp, a scowl, and an empty carbine; a suited man behind her sent her off. It was love at first shot. It was not long until she found his arm beside hers, dragged along her dynamic lifestyle. But even as the years wore on, she never stopped until the night he died. The only tear she shed fell onto his calm lips, but she could never grieve for him. No one deserved her pity, not anymore.

There was only one way she could honor him, she’d outlive the bastard as long as she could, but there was only so far guts could go.

For that means she sought the latest in hextech, but even that wasn’t enough. Furious at the incompetence of society, there was only one arm left to twist. She almost hated herself for reaching that high for an apple so bitter, but the Fields of Justice needed someone with brains anyway.

"If you're going to do something, make it count." -Maud

Each instance cannot occur more than once every 5 seconds on each enemy unit.

Q: Wildfire

*Maud loads a wide-spreading blast into her carbine, shooting 10 bullets dealing 10/20/30/40/50 (.1 AD) physical damage each. *

These shots are distributed randomly throughout a wide cone and do not pierce.

Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds
Cost: 100 mana
Range: 1000
Cast Time: .5 Seconds

W: Iron Salvo

*Maud holds her position and fires autoattacks in a line while gaining 30%/50%/70%/90%/110% bonus AS. *

Maud can cast this during Reckless Abandon while Snap is active.

These bullets travel up to 1000 units and do not pierce.

Cooldown: 10 seconds
Cost: 80 mana

E: Reckless Abandon

Maud detonates a hextech explosive behind her, sending her 500 units from the explosion. Enemies hit by the explosion are knocked back and take 50/90/130/170/210 (1.0 AP) magic damage.

**Cooldown **: 16 seconds
Cost: 120 mana

###FAQ


So, the passive is a bit confusing, what do you mean by instances?

Maud can only stock strike once every 5 seconds, and backblast every 5 seconds. So she can perform both on the same enemy, but cannot do either to anyone else until their respective cooldowns are over.

Can Maud move during her Iron Salvo (W)

Nope.

What happens when Snap ends and Maud is using Iron Salvo while flying through the air on Reckless Abandon!?!?!1

I knew I should have simplified that, but Iron Salvo will end early if the duration of Snap ends mid-flight.

What happens when Backblast and Stock strike are both up and you are directly behind someone?

Backblast will take priority over stock strike if both are up and all conditions are met.

Will update with more questions as they are answered. ###Skins/Other Concepts:

Her Ultimate may or may not be OP, it depends on how much it slows everything by, a 30-60 second cooldown (depending on CDR) for 4 seconds of guaranteed skillshot dodges, escapes, or champion lockdowns is a bit much!

This... is cool. Kinda reminds me of a cross between Sivir (tons of AOE) and Quinn (the ult that says she's going in and I'm fked).

Would stock strike and backblast proc at the same time if they are both up and she melees someone?.

Would summoners like flash be affected during ult (Ult + flash behind someone + backblast + E out)

A couple thoughts on this. I like it, first of all, but I think a couple things need to be tweaked. Her q scaling seems absolutely terribad, like at rank 1 you get 20 damage with 100 ad per bullet. That may be decent if you can go Graves and blast an enemy in the face with all your bullets, but Maud doesn't seem to have the survivability to be Graves, which is what your kit (and especially your passive) is asking for. Getting within 125 range to activate the passive on any bruiser or assassin is going to mean instant death for you, and even if you can blast an enemy into smithereens, you won't be in any position to survive in a teamfight. Also, I think her ulty is going to be impossible to do from a logistics standpoint. Slowing down everything in your area (basic attacks, minion attacks, abilities, champions, minions, tower shots, etc.) would probably be a MASSIVE drain on your computer, as the game would have to render everything at normal speed and then re-render it, all of it, slowed down.

Overall, I like the idea, but you just don't have enough survivability to make your passive or your q really viable out of laning phase.

Edit: "Look kids, a merry-go-round!"
