This is another Champion idea I had. His basic attacks would be ranged and using a high tech yo-yo. I feel with his ult he could really turn around a team fight by both protecting the adc or apc and also isolating the enemy teams squishy characters but still surviving with the enhanced armor and mr. His ult is just like nids where he changes appearance, but it only lasts for a certain amount of time like aatrox's. I still need to decide on cooldowns, damage and other things but its late and im tired. haha let me know what you think!

Izal, the Wannabe Hero

Fighter/Support

Passive: Spotlight- Izal's determination to gain fame and save his fellow champs causes him to gain bonus armor and mr the more ally champs around him.

Round up(Q)- Izal throws his yo-yo around target unit, sending an electrical surge through them, snaring them for 1 sec and dealing magic damage.

Ult(Q) Hero Strike-Izal hits target enemy with a powerful punch knocking them back. If Izal is near an ally unit that enemy is stunned for 1 sec.

Infect(W)-Izal throws a jar full of enhanced nanobots that infect target for a short time. During this time the targets armor is decreased based off max armor.

Ult(W)Hero Call-Izal yells sending a shock wave blast out in front of him knock enemies aside and damaging them.

Techboots(E)-Izal activates his custom made boots which shoot a smokescreen around himself and pushes him away.

Ult(E)Hero Time-Izal rushes to the aid of another champion giving them a shield that absorbs the next ability cast on them and dealing 50% of the damage to Izal. Lasts for 3 seconds.

Suit up(R)-Izal embraces his inner hero and transforms into his second form for a short duration. Passive: Diamond Skeleton-In this form Izal's armor and mr are increased substantially.

Lore: From the get go Izal wanted fame. As a young boy born in Piltover he was never more than average. He got average grades in school, worked an average job, and never stood out to his peers. One thing that made Izal feel even more average was his friend Ezreal. Ezreal was everything Izal wanted to be : A genius from a young age, a star in Piltover and had more talent in his finger than Izal had in his entire body. This jealously of Ezreal drove Izal mad. When he found out that Ezreal had joined the League of Legends and sported a powerful magic amulet, Izal knew what needed to be done. He had to gain power or else he would never out shine Ezreal.

  Working as a techmaturgist he had built a few devices of some potency like his tech boots and after gathering these items he set off from Piltover in search of a means to power. After traveling Izal found himself standing outside the city of Zaun. There Izal found Singed whom he had heard was a talented scientist. At first when seeing the young boy Singed dismissed him as a joke. Then Izal said that he would do whatever it takes to gain power and would agree to any experiment that Singed could devise. After some thought Singed agreed and took Izal back to his lab. It just so happened that Singed had a new formula for a super soldier concoction that he wanted to try out. Singed strapped Izal to a chair and gave him his super soldier concoction. Izal consumed this without hesitation. After a minute or so nothing happened. Then suddenly Izal start screaming that he was in terrible pain. 

Izal began to change. His body seemed to be expanding; his muscles grew at a rapid pace. He grew over 2 feet in mere seconds and his skeleton structure seemed to be hardening to the strength of diamond. Singed move back and started to take notes on these new observations.

  As soon as the transformations stopped Izal stopped screaming and dropped his head. Singed moved closer to examine him up close and check to see if he had survived. Izal’s head suddenly shot up and he burst out of the straps that bond him to the chair. Then swinging his massive fist he hit a shocked Singed right in the face with a mighty blow that sent him flying. Izal walked calmly toward a stunned Singed and said “My name is Izal and I will save this world”. Then he advanced on Singed with the intent to kill. Singed  scrambled to get away, but right as Izal raised his arm to deal the last blow there was a flash of light and a puff of smoke. After the smoke cleared Singed saw that Izal had returned to normal. Furious that his experiment had harmed him Singed got up and attempted to capture Izal. Izal realizing his advantage was gone and being scared out of his mind activated his tech boots and shot smoke everywhere. Izal then fled from Zaun. 

  Finally returning to Piltover, Izal knew that he had what he wanted and knew what he would do next.  He would go to the League and face Ezreal. “Now he will know who the real hero is”.

“The world will know my name, because only I can save it”-Izal

You should definitely consider adding some paragraphs to your lore. It makes it easier to read. I do think that his lore is interesting though, as he wants to represent all the good of Piltover by siding with the evils of Zaun which is a different kind of story in the League.

I don't quite understand some of the ideas of your kit. Is his RQ a passive, or an active that lasts for a short time? If it's a passive, it would probably be best served as a passive for his ult and you could give his RQ another ability, perhaps some kind of damage skill. Also, his passive gives him AD, but he scales off of AP and is meant to be a psedo-support which is conflicting.

I think thematically, the kit works for the most part. I think that it would be really cool however if you made his hero form feel more like a stereotypical hero like Superman. I was thinking like giving a teammate a spellshield (like blocking a shot just in time) or a powerful knockback punch that pushes all enemies away or something like that. There should definitely be a big difference in thematic power from Izal and his hero form.

Out of curiosity, how did you come up with the name for your champion?

Okay so I mulled things over in my head and thought about other supports. I realized that many of these supports had some kind of heal and decided to make his passive just that. It would give him some way of sustain if he were to go top lane against like renekton and help him survive until he gets his ult.

Yeah sorry it was late and I was kinda just trying to get it done so I could post it.Yes his RQ is a passive. Yeah honestly when I was thinking of his main passive I wanted him to be an adc at first, but then decided to make him a bruiser support instead because it worked well with his lore and ult form.

It would not be a bad idea for him to give a shield and I like the ult passive to give him the tankiness to in a sense save the day. The punch could definitely be his RQ instead.

I was contemplating that as well. And yes I was kinda considering him to appear and give the feel of like a superman style character in ult form.

His name...well i wanted it to be kinda similar to Ezreal's because he technically wants to be Ezreal so it would fit well in his lore and maybe increase his jealousy, but after that I kinda just made it up. Thank you so much for the comments! Im really impressed with your ideas.
