###Lore
"So you talkin' about Braum eh? Well lemme tell you fellas somethin': In legends, there's a whole SLEW ah people you don't ever hear NUTHIN' about."
"My name's Scrumpy, you might have heard of me. Not to brag or anything but I was the lil' troll that got stuck in that pit until Braum came an' saved my purple behind. Hey, listen, if YOU saw what was in the vault, you'd sure as hell go in there."
"Now the part of the story they DON'T tell you is that me an' Braum are BASICALLY be-ef-efs, y'know? Braum and I hang out all the time and stuff. Y'know, we're basically partners. No, I am NOT his sidekick, we're PARTNERS."
"Anyways, after that lil' vacation in that vault, I decided to make my own destiny from Braum. I mean yeah, the guy's totally a hanger-on but Scrumpy needs some alone time, y'know? So OFF I went to forge my own tales of wonder and stupendousness and awesomeitude...is that a word? Who cares."
"S'why I'm in this League thing, y'know? Gonna make it big, get all the trolls rallying behind me, maybe even be king! Wait, the frost trolls got a king....you think the swamp trolls are looking?"
"HEY! Wait! Where are you guys going? Guys? Guuuuuys? Well, uh, tell people about me! Scrumpy! Spelled S-C-R....um....U....ok I can't spell my name but it's NOT because I'm a troll, alright?"
###Kit
| Hotkey | Name | Description |- | Passive | "Natural Born Survivor!" | Scrumpy is naturally adept at surviving situations and being held in confines. While under the effects of CC, Scrumpy takes 15/20/25% reduced damage from the source of the CC. Takes into account the first CC only. | Q | "Gimme that!" | Scrumpy tosses out a slow-moving lasso. If it hits an enemy, Scrumpy yanks the weapon/gloves/lightning bolts/various arcane powers from their hands, preventing them from attacking for 1/1/2/2/3 seconds. | W | "Tricks o' the trade!" | Passive: Every time Scrumpy last hits an minion, neutral or enemy, he gains a stack of "Theivery". This gives 1/2/3/4/5 bonus gold per stack with a maximum of five stacks. The stacks decay faster the higher the stack. Active: Scrumpy stealths himself for 1/1/2/2/3 seconds per stack. While on cooldown, Scrumpy cannot gain stacks. | E | "Bag o' stuff!" | A bag, full of random assorts of guts, poro droppings and other vile things, is chucked at the enemy. While drenched in this vile ooze, the enemy is slowed and loses a percent of their armor. | R | "BRAUM! HELP!!!" | Cowering, Scrumpy calls upon Braum to aid him. If Braum is currently not in the game on the allied side, Braum is temporarily summoned, throwing up his shield and blocking Scrumpy as he moves. If Braum is in the game, he is instantly summoned to Scrumpy's aid, gaining 33/66/99% damage reduction for 5 seconds or until Scrumpy moves too far away.
###Playstyle
Scrumpy is a natural born assassin with an almost parasitic reliance on his team. While Scrumpy is a competent duelist so long as nobody interferes with their fight, the moment someone gets involved, things get dicey. Scrumpy's adept at mid or top lane, where he can easily get farm and not worry about dealing with two or more people in a lane. Thanks to his skills, Scrumpy can easily rack up a heafty amount of bonus gold, stealth behind an enemy and hopefully get the kill before they notice he's even there. However, a word of caution: Scrumpy is incredibly vulnerable without his ult and requires a lot of gold to sufficiently kill enemies. Even forcing scrumpy to stealth out of a fight will be a huge detriment to his gold income!
Early game, one has to be incredibly careful with Scrumpy. Slowly build up gold with your "Tricks o' the Trade!" while taking care not to get caught out. Should a jungler gank, "Bag o' stuff!" serves as both an armor reduction tool and slowing device, perfect to secure the kill before anyone can get away in time.
Late game, Scrumpy should always be looking for opportunities to snipe out an unfortunate carry or squishy target. At this time, Scrumpy should be packed to the gills with items, meaning that he can easily amass five stacks of his W and dive into a fight without anyone noticing. "Gimme that!" should prevent anyone from fighting back while he can easily grab a kill. Should things turn sour, "BRAUM! HELP!!!" will either summon the large fellow to block his escape or turn that dicey one-on-one into a much more friendly two-on-one!
One of the key tools in playing against Scrumpy is to make sure Braum is banned in draft or you pick him first. Scrumpy without Braum is like a sandwich without bread: Doable but otherwise messy and not nearly as good. In-game, Scrumpy is squishy and has to amass five stacks to get ample invisibility time. Watch him as he does this and plan accordingly. Taking Scrumpy out of the fight early as possible will turn a horrible assassination into an easy-peasy kill.
