[Champion Idea] Killjoy, The Pleasure Killer

Crosstrainer·12/19/2013, 9:04:03 PM·3 votes·1,105 views

A male champ that's basically like Jinx in personality and play style - seems like this guy may have some connection to Jinx's shady past

Basicly looks like this (not my artwork) http://darkasylumxxx.deviantart.com/art/Zombie-punisher-sketch-138644392

but human with smiley's and tattoos...see attachment of my very quick sketch

Abilities-

Passive- The Last Laugh: Upon his final breath, fires a homing rocket that does massive damage to the champion with lowest health within a radius. (Similar to Kog'maw's passive)

Q- Lock and Load: Killjoy charges his weapon and fires dealing damage in a cone in front of him. Cone becomes larger upon longer charge and fires in all directions at max charge.

W- Life of the Party: Killjoy's excitement is contagious, increasing movement speed and life steal/spell vamp for all nearby allies for a short duration.

E- For a Good Time: Killjoy tosses out two proximity mines that explode dealing damage and slowing enemies when they pass by within range. Gambler: (May attempt to throw a proximity mine directly at an enemy champion for increased damage but has a chance of bouncing back causing damage to Killjoy)

R(Ult) - Killing Spree: Killjoy dashes around firing quick, successive burst in short range with his Shotgun, he is filled with pleasure and adrenaline making him temporarily feel no pain, gaining movement speed, attack speed and life steal (Could potentially be OP but I think it could be balanced simply by the numbers)

Catch Phrases-

Say ello to my lil friend

I kill for fun

Killtacular

I live for this

No pain, no pleasure

Alternate skin- Mafia Killjoy (Think Scarface)

That's about it...tell me what you guys think and feel free to give suggestions. Thanks!

Hers the big question. Why do we need a male version of Jinx when we still have Jinx? The kit doesn't bring anything particularly flavorful to the table, and the base concept doesn't offer anything particularly interesting. You yourself described him as a male version of Jinx. Any champion who can be described as, "(other champion) except X" likely isn't really enough.

Overall, I can't really tell whether you want this guy to be an adc or a weird damage/support hybrid like supp Gangplank. Personally I would like to see him like the latter so I'll be assuming that.

The passive is interesting, but if you make it slower and able to be blocked by an enemy champion you could backload some large damage to it. Possibly %hp missing?

I don't quite get what your saying with his Q, is that an active that just makes him....better? Or is it a passive almost like Trist? Imho I don't really think it goes well with the rest of his kit. He sounds like a close range adc overall, like Graves. Why not close his range in a lot and pack a lot of power with that risk? Maybe a charged frontal cone shot that increases radius as he charges? Possibly ending in a 360 degree shotgun shot because Killjoy says screw physics?

His W I like, although increased team healing from all sources is somewhere to tread carefully, it has the potential for being OP very fast. How about increased lifesteal-spellvamp instead? Accomplishes the same thing but doesn't amplify a possibly abused stat, i.e. adds to BOTRK instead of doubling it.

His E has great potential but I feel like you'll need either more coverage or more range. Something to think about as well is to synergize with your other abilities, like funneling enemy movement or comboing. An idea is to have him toss out 2 mines to either side (think Thresh E for targeting). Used right those can either funnel or deter enemies while not being too close to Jinx. But its just an idea.

If you got for what I mentioned with his Q as far as range and power go you can seriously amp up the numbers on his ult without him becoming too overpowered, as long as you pack enough of the damage into coefficients (so he doesn't just build tanky and ride on base damages).

As far as the theme goes, as has already been said don't try to make a clone of a current champ. League is about filling in archetypes and characters that are not currently present. That being said, the role of an insanely risky close-range adc has not been really addressed, and neither has a physical damage support outside of support GP. Try to be a bit more creative on the theme, maybe make the mines into Oreos, the shotgun into a Pez dispenser and call him Candyman! Or make the shotgun into a tazer and the entire thing cyberpunk and call him Tron-licious!! Those are exaggerations but the point is you can do a lot of things to make his theme original but keep the kit, which imho is the thing worth keeping.

You have some good potential here, keep it up! Hope I helped and if I wasn't particularly clear on something I'd be happy to clarify!

And do not make him so much like jinx. His abilities could tie to her as well as their lore but have him look a bit more armored

cool idea i would have enjoyed it more if you made him more like a support so they could be in lane together though =]

Lol that passive is like the self expression of his name, what a killjoy.

I dont really know for sure but maybe you could try and give him some sort of good escape for his adc to use sense him and jinx are always on the run but jinx has no good escapes it would also be nice for any adc to have an escape given to them by the support the rest is all you i would have no idea on his other three abilities
