"There is one truth in this world: being a hero is overrated." - Ivan, the Iron Hearted

Many years ago in the City of Progress, the position for sheriff was empty. During that time where crime reigned supreme, where the citizens were afraid, where no one and nothing was safe from corruption's evil, there were many different peoples whom had stepped forward to make a difference. Many of those said peoples failed, died, disappeared during their campaigns to free Piltover from its decaying self. Nevertheless, as Caitlyn went on to begin her legendary revolution against injustice, there was one young man in the shadows - a brilliant, skilled, determined Piltovian street rat - who excelled at street smarts as well as specialized in marksmanship with most any gun. With his gifts, with his profound intelligence, the street rat in question made the enemies of his home city fear his presence. He, off to the side, made a feared name for himself and earned the adoration of many folk.

Although many do not know him today, while Caitlyn performed her own missions elsewhere in the City of Progress, this young street rat who fought crime in his own way was Ivan T'Lore. And he, like Caitlyn, amassed plenty of support, fame along with fortune during his struggles against the enemies of Piltover. Yet, as fate decreed then those many years ago, when justice and law had been secured for the City of Progress, Ivan did not earn himself the rank of Sheriff like he'd hoped all during his work. No, despite all of his sacrifices, where Caitlyn had received the position due to her honor bound if not merciful methods of taking her targets alive, Ivan lost the right to become sheriff... when everyone discovered that he'd not arrested but killed, tortured along with broken all of his enemies during his work.

And truly, even though he'd heroically done so for his home city, Ivan had been a monster while taking the matters of the law into his own hands. Every foe he'd encountered hadn't left the scene alive. Every victim he'd interrogated for information had breathed his or her last after the interview. Every victory he'd gained for the peoples of Piltover... had been stained in blood. Thus, with such a bloody reputation, no matter his arguments, Ivan couldn't have been given the title as Sheriff. In turn, feeling betrayed by everyone he'd helped or held dear, he gradually took to believing something else: "Heroes weren't appreciated. They were overrated."

When he lost the right to become sheriff of Piltover back in the day, consumed with rage over how humiliated he was, Ivan left his home and submitted to a new way of life which appreciated his skills, his isolation, his ways of silencing everyone who stood in his way. He became a wandering bounty hunter at first. Then, seeking better challenges, he discovered the Soldier of Fortune career was more rewarding. Finally, corrupted with his lust for power, after having had his right arm removed by the cyborg, Zaunite genius Viktor and replaced with a robotic limb to improve his overall performance, Ivan sold himself as an assassin to the alliance between Zaun as well as Noxus where he soon took part in the politics of the Ionia invasion. Soon enough, he was responsible for the quiet, merciless assassinations of many good-hearted leaders worldwide whom wanted Ionia freed.

After Ionia finally liberated itself from the invading forces against it, seeing as he would've been hunted by everyone everywhere for his crimes, bitter Ivan was left with little choice than to remain within the protection of his contractors in Zaun/Noxus. During those tense days, no matter how impossible, he took on any mission that came his way. Still, there was one memory that always enraged him. There was always one city that made him seethe with fury. There was always one face, a certain sheriff's face, Caitlyn's face, that made him remember his past. And it was those things, those memories of his humiliation in Piltover, that caused him to eventually join the ranks of the League of Legends. It is those things... that now make him fight on the Fields of Justice as a most unpredictable, cruel rogue against order, balance, supposed justice.

Appearance: Seeing as I've always imagined him with a robotic, lethally designed arm that could take on Vi's own reinforced gauntlets if given the chance, it might be best to imagine Ivan almost like Bucky from the recently released Captain America: Winter Soldier movie. Considering they've been longtime rivals since the revolution as well as stabilization of Piltover, Ivan is a guy about the same age of Caitlyn. Anyway, he has steel blue eyes, ink black hair shoulder length long, wears a light bullet proof vest only so he shows a bit of skin upper torso, wears cargo styled pants complete with heavy duty boots and he wields a custom, crudely made sniper rifle that is supposed to be a mockery of Caitlyn's own weapon.

Abilities: Passive - Penetration: A veteran at marksmanship, experienced with the bodily build of people, Ivan is an expert at shooting through fragile body parts. Every 10 basic attacks, Ivan can shoot through three targets, dealing 10% less damage to each target hit in turn. Doesn't apply to abilities.

Q - Disrupting the Peace: Charging up his robotic arm, Ivan fires a frag grenade from the wrist of his metal limb which deals 100% of Ivan's basic dmg plus 40/80/120/160/200 ad damage in a cone in front of him.

W - Driven by Hate: Passive: Grants +6/7/8/9/10 attack damage for every basic attack landed. Can stack up to three times.

E - No Escape: Using his robotic arm, Ivan fires a tazer tether cable in a straight line. If the cable connects with an enemy, the target that is hit receives 25/60/95/130/165(+120%) ad dmg, is slowed by 25% and will be revealed for 4 seconds while tethered.

R - Final Word: Rooting himself in place to set up his rifle with the highest caliber bullet known, Ivan takes 2 seconds to line up a penetrating shot that will shoot through anything and everything up to a range of 2500/2800/3100 and deals 300/400/500(+200% ad dmg). Champions hit after first champion receive 20% less damage (-40% dmg max). (Ult can be stopped by Braum's Shield.)

Quotes:

Upon Being Selected: "Ready or not, world... Here I come."

Funny: "Apart for its weapon attachments, my arm actually comes complete with a compass, a radar, a calculator, a calender, all sorts of things. Yet... it doesn't come with a clock mechanism? Hmf, Zaunite work indeed."

Serious: "I tried heroics once. Heh, they made me the way I am today."

Caitlyn Near Caitlyn: "Even with all of your supposed work, Piltover is as corrupt as ever."

"The brilliant sheriff... about to be showed up by me. Oh no. So terrible."

"It's time I showed you who should have really earned that badge you're wearing."

Vi Near Vi: "How very sad the title of Piltover's Finest has become nowadays."

"They could not make me sheriff but they made you the sheriff's partner? Ridiculous."

"The sheriff cannot do her work alone? She needs you at her side? Some keeper of the peace."

"Shut up and take my fist in your face."

Jinx Near Jinx: "Tear it down. Tear the whole city down, little girl."

"You know the same thing I do. Yes, you know that the ways of chaos are fairer than peace."

"It's funner to be a villain rather than a hero, isn't it?"

"Call me?"

Braum Ult Stopped By Braum's Shield: "... What?"

"Where did that oaf come from?"

"Next time, you will not be there to mock me. Not if I have anything to say about it. Which, naturally, I always will."

Nice, very interesting idea.

His abilities are Overpowered.

Why?

Because they all have 100 or more percent AD scaling.

On an ADC, at generic ADC max build his abilities alone can deal 2 thousand damage, add in basic attacks, attack speed, crit strike, and your looking at someone who could 3 shot tanks.

Interesting concept. I agree that his abilities are a bit over powered but a few minor changes should be able to solve that.

1: On his W the stacks should be lost when activated. This will tone down his damage a bit while still allowing him to push waves/towers.

2:On his E you should change the scaling to a scaling of his bonus AD (30%/35%/40%/45%/50%) and also add a momentary stun (the target is being tazed after all)

3: His R base damage should be halved at the least and it should scale off Bonus AD not his full ad.

4: If you aren't satisfied with reducing his damage in those manners then his abilities should have long CD timers. (ex: his ult should have CD of 200/160/120 just due to its insane damage output)

Honestly, while I was looking things over when posting this champ, I knew from the start that I was building an overpowered champion. Not ability wise but ability power wise (Like his ad output being so high +additional dmg). Again, with him being something of her mirror rival since many years ago, I feel that Ivan would be a bit like Caitlyn in combat but would perform different enough to not exactly be like her on the fields of battle.

All in all, with all of his strengths and obvious weaknesses, this champion was thrown up here just for fun and mostly his story. I really don't care how overpowered he is at the moment because he's - like most fan creations sadly - not really going to be noticed or taken for study. In truth, like how Jinx was fan inspired to be the rival of Vi, my inspiration for Ivan was due to a thought; it would be cool if Riot sometime soon took Ivan or someone like him and made him or her Caitlyn's very own rival. (Like where did that Z character or whoever she was after for the longest time go?) Yeah, I think it's about time the Sheriff got a run for her money by someone just as witty and agile as her.

Thanks to you all who took notice of my prototype Ivan here and left a comment. Even if it wasn't a constructive comment. More of a... scolding.
