[CHAMPION CONCEPT] Terminus, the War Machine

This concept is very much in the works, and uses a new resource that probably has a kink or two in it, so feedback will be appreciated. Expect changes as I go.

General Concept

Terminus is a ranged AD caster Champion who uses a new resource called Ammo. Ammo is used when Terminus attacks and uses his abilities, and does not replenish normally on its own. Ammo is replenished either by returning to the fountain, or by using Terminus' R ability, Rearmament. Without Ammo, Terminus cannot use his basic abilities, but can still attack (albeit weakly).

Terminus excels at AOE damage and delivering punishing suppression fire, but also has some close-range utility if the enemy tries to get into a knife fight with him. He doesn't qualify as a ranged carry, however, since he has no attack steroid, and his base AD is low due to his passive.

Statistics (in development)

Abilities (feedback is greatly appreciated)

Ammo Resource

Terminus uses a new resource called Ammo, which is used with his basic attacks and abilities. Terminus can hold a maximum of 30 Ammo initially (this goes up to 60 upon maxing out his ultimate), which does not regenerate on its own. When Terminus' ammo goes to 0, he cannot use his basic abilities and his attacks become weaker. By using his R ability "Rearmament" (which he has available at level 1), he enters a state where he cannot attack or use abilities. Upon finishing this state, his Ammo returns to maximum.

P - Solid-Core Rounds

Whenever Terminus attacks, he deals bonus physical damage equal to 20% of his total attack damage, provided he has at least 1 Ammo. Terminus consumes 1 Ammo each time he performs a basic attack. When Terminus has 0 Ammo, the bonus damage is not dealt.

Q - Bunker Buster

Terminus fires his heavy cannon after a brief delay (0.5 seconds), firing a skillshot in a line (800 range) that explodes if it hits an enemy, dealing physical damage. The primary target struck has 30/35/40/45/50% of its bonus armor ignored by the shot.

Costs 5 Ammo. 10/9/8/7/6 second cooldown.

W - Pneumatic Punisher

Terminus blasts a shockwave in target direction (600 range), dealing physical damage to all enemies struck and briefly knocking them back in the same direction as the shockwave. Enemies within 100 range of Terminus are also stunned for 0.5 seconds.

Costs 10 Ammo. 20/18/16/14/12 second cooldown.

E - Ion Orb/Ion Bolt

First Cast - Ion Orb: Terminus launches an Ion Orb in target direction, which deals physical damage to enemies it passes through. The Ion Orb is consumed upon hitting an enemy Champion. After using Ion Orb, Terminus can activate Ion Bolt within the next three seconds.

Second Cast - Ion Bolt: Terminus fires an Ion Bolt in target direction, damaging the first enemy it hits. If Ion Bolt hits an Ion Orb, the Ion Orb explodes, dealing powerful physical damage to enemies in a large area around it.

Costs 5 Ammo on both casts. 10 second cooldown (starts after Ion Bolt is used or times out).

R - Rearmament

Passive: Terminus' maximum ammo capacity increases by 0/10/20/30.

Active: Terminus enters his Reload State and gains +20/30/40/50 bonus movement speed for 2 seconds. During this time, he cannot attack or use his abilities, but can perform other actions. Upon finishing Reload State, Terminus' Ammo is restored to maximum. This Reload State lasts 5/4/3/2 seconds (depending on level).

10 second cooldown. No cost. Available at level 1 without requiring a skill point.

Background (in progress; jot notes available)

• Terminus is a war robot/golem built in Zaun by Professor Stanwick, who feared retribution from Viktor for stealing credit for making Blitzcrank.

• Terminus was designed for combat, and was made to supposedly be superior to Blitzcrank. Unfortunately, there was a glitch in "programming" him, which caused him to turn against his masters, believing himself superior to all.

I'll be updating this as I go, but I could use some critiques on the current design.
