[Champion Concept] Vir'Bane, the Void Toxin
A bit of a disclaimer, this is my first attempt at champion creation for League, so this might be a little less polished than some proposed concepts. That also means I'm very much open to suggestions and alterations, so feel free to voice your opinions.
Now, let's get started.
Vir'Bane, the Void Toxin
General inspiration: I enjoy playing champions that can fulfill more than one role quite a bit, such as Nunu and Kayle. So, I think I've come up with a champ that can run in the Jungle, Mid or Support, depending on how he's built. I also think Riot made a good move with Vel'Koz's design. Before Vel, the creatures from the Void needed more motivation than "Hunger", so here I am running with the idea a little too.
Appearance: Very grotesque in appearance, Vir'Bane is morbidly obese; he has so much fat that it is hard to tell if he has legs at all. His black-green body is covered in a disgusting dark green slime that he generates from within himself. Vir'Bane's head, housing pure black eyes and rotting yellow teeth, is nearly sunken into his torso's fat. He has four arms that usually rest within the sludge that resides on his body. The arms are placed in an x-placement, 2 in front and 2 on his back. Vir'Bane also has a short, stubby tail that drags along behind him. Lastly, he has a row of spikes that poke out from the sludge on his back, starting at the top of his head and running to his tail.
If you are so inclined, feel free to make your own art of him. All I ask is that you make him as gross looking as possible, and point the character design back here. Post them below if you'd like. =D
Skills
Innate Passive: Void Toxin: Spells afflict the target with poison from the Void (1 stack per spell), dealing flat damage each second. Maximum 3 stacks, but the time on the stack is renewed if a spell hits before the time runs out. Vir'Bane heals for half the damage done by the poison. (3 health per second + 0.5 x Vir'Bane's level, doubles per stack)
Q Plague: Vir'Bane launches a skillshot nuke that applies a 30% slow and 1 stack of Void Toxin to damaged enemies.
Range: 950, Scaling: 90/130/190/220/250 (+ 80% AP), Cooldown: 10/9/8/7/6
W Infection: Vir'Bane rolls(dashes) to an enemy and applies a 1 second stun and 1 stack of Void Toxin.
Range: 650, Scaling: 50/70/90/110/130 (+ 60% AP), Cooldown: 17/15/13/11/9
E Parasitic Toxin: When activated, Vir'Bane heals for double the amount his Void Toxin inflicts on infected enemies.
Range: N/A, Scaling: N/A, Cooldown: 20/18.5/17/15.5/14
R Blight: Vir'Bane expels the toxins covering his body, coating the area around him in his excrement. Applies 2 stacks of Void Toxin to all enemies in range.
Range: 625, Scaling: 150/250/350 (+ 90% AP), Cooldown: 110/90/70
Again, if you see anything that should change if it's too over powered or under powered, let me know. I want to make this Champ feel balanced, yet still fun to play.
Lore
Vir'Bane was originally a small creature that resided in the darkest parts of the Void, constantly in fear of predators such as Kha'Zix. He cowered in the thought of being caught by the larger beings of the darkness.
Vir'Bane scurried along scavenging food when he could, but on one search he found a dead creature, killed by some kind of disease. Vir'Bane scuttled down to investigate, but a sludge lurched from the corpse and covered Vir'Bane, engulfing him in its power.
Vir'Bane would never, could never be the prey again. The toxin coarsed through his veins, causing him to grow in size and power until he was hunting those who once sought his life as a snack.
When Vir'Bane found his way out of the Void, he was disgusted. There was no plague, no blights that haunted the world he saw. He roamed Runeterra, spreading disease to plants and animals south of the Great Barrier. Eventually, he found his way north, towards the Institute of War. Malzahar sought him out before he could reach it, and offered him the chance to infect the most powerful beings in the world.
Vir'Bane accepted.
