#Introducing: Rex, the Red Raccoon.

What do you mean Rex isn't girl's name? Of course it is! Uhh, so where was I? Ah, yes appl- I mean Raccoon!
I'm not really a Raccoon you know. I'm more like one of those lil' cute red pandas you see tumble and fall and whatnot.
Just ... well ... I'm human, too. I'm both.
You know that girl Nidalee? Yeah, I'm like her, but better (she ooooold).

Why I'm in the League you want to know?
Well that's a long story, and I'm lazy, so maybe I'll tell you later. winks
But for now ...* I really want an apple.*

#Abilities

http://i.imgur.com/NNvo7BV.png Passive - Leftovers
Nearby champions, large monsters and -minions gain the 'Leftovers' passive (~1100 range).
This passive is only active when the unit is near Rex. Whenever the unit auto attacks it gains one stack, on spellcasts two.
At a certain amount of stacks, when the unit dies or when it successfully recalls it drops a 'Leftover pack' where it stands (it would look like an apple, or a bamboo sprout (like in harvest moon), or a cupcake (when it's Caitlyn), or trash). This causes the unit to lose the Leftover passive for at least 3 seconds. Rex can collect these 'Leftover packs' (75 range) to restore Health and Energy.

  • Stacks needed 21(-1 at levels 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18) on champions, 7 on minions or monsters
  • Health restore 31(+2 per level)(+0.08% AP)
  • Energy restore 25 Energy

Q - Acorn Fury!
TOGGLE: Rex gains bonus attack speed, however she loses her passive Energy Regen and basic attacks cost Energy as well.
Additionally, basic attacks grant up to 6 stacks that last 2.5 seconds and decay two at a time.
While in Red Form she cannot lose stacks, and she gains bonus Movement Speed based on the amount of stacks gathered (scales with E)

  • Attack Speed +30/40/50/60/70% (+2% per 10 bonus AD)
  • Energy Cost 20
  • Bonus Movement Speed 5
  • Cooldown (begins when toggled off) : 13 seconds

http://i.imgur.com/huMge7k.png W - Spikes Ho'!
Passive: Collecting a 'Leftover pack' grants 1 stack (max: 3). The first two stacks add 1/2 additional Spiked Acorns left and right each of the original one. The third one causes Spiked Acorns to lie around as traps for 4 seconds if they do not hit a target. These snare instead of debuffing. Using this ability consumes the current amount of stacks. Active: Rex shoots one/three/five Spiked Acorn(s) in a straight line/cone. They deal physical damage to the first target hit and apply a 4 second debuff effect. Basic attacks against debuffed targets slow and deal bonus magic damage on-hit. (The cone is a bit wider than Graves' Buckshot and the Acorns are about as wide as Heimerdinger's Rockets or Nidalee's spear, if not thinner.)

  • Cooldown 13/12/11/10/9 seconds
  • Energy Cost 90/80/70/60/50
  • Acorns (physical damage) 75/90/105/120/135 (+70% bonus AD)
  • Slow on-hit 8% for 2 seconds (stacks up to 3 times).
  • Bonus magic damage 2% (+1 per 100 AP) of current Health on-hit (max: 50 vs monsters)
  • Trap Snare 0.5 seconds
  • Range 1300

http://i.imgur.com/STRPmFw.png <- Kill me now :( E - Red!
**Toggle:**Transforms Rex into her 'Red Racccon' form, granting her invisibility for 0.5 seconds.
In her Red Form Rex may move through units, is resistant against slows and gains 1% more Energy from Leftovers for every 1% Energy she is missing. Additionally she gains bonus Movement Speed based on her Acorn Fury stacks.
However, she is silenced and her attack range is reduced to 125.

  • Cooldown 2 seconds/ 6 when toggling back to human form.
  • Slow Resistance 10/20/30/40/50%
  • Bonus Movement Speed +2/4/6/8/10

http://i.imgur.com/rB1XKRy.jpg R - I'm totally a ninja right now (ultimate)
Rex throws down a smoke bomb at her current location. This creates a circular smoke screen around her (~650 Range) which lasts for 12 seconds.
Projectiles and units that travel through this smoke expand it by carrying it behind them. The smoke screen can only expand for the first 8 seconds and projectiles can only expand it by up to 1000 units. Other than that it can expand infinitely.
While Rex is inside of this smoke she is invisible and gains bonus Attack Damage for 2 seconds.

  • No cost.
  • Cooldown 140/115/90 seconds
  • Bonus Attack Damage 20/30/40

Lore

I don't really know ... what I am, but for as long as I can remember I've been ... (ಥ﹏ಥ) ... BEEN HAVING FUN!
(Admit it. You thought I was going to say alone, right? C'mon, admit it! Admit it! :D)
I, being nimble and all, and being a Ninja and all (I don't care what you say, Shen >.> I'm a Ninja), have been running around Runeterra, living the peaceful life.

I take what I want, eat what I want, do what I want. It's fun!

I've been to all the places: Demacia, Shurima (too hot), Kumungu, Bandle City, Bilgewater and then ... Ionia.
Hmm, this wasn't supposed to turn out sad...

Just bear with me. Have an apple if you like.
An apple a day keeps the police away

So yeah, Ionia. It was nice there. Nicer. There were all kinds of pretty things, the nature, the buildings, the people, the cloths and clothes, the food! And this one small temple somewhere nowhere - the (mocking voice) Kinkou Order.
I've always thought myself to be a Ninja, but these guys? Wow. Just ... wow.
So I stayed. I watched. I ... didn't really learn. I mean I was already a master. If anything I should've taught them.
So yeah, whatever.

I sneaked inside a few times to get a closer look, but they would always find me and throw me out (meanies)
Shen was at least nice when he threw me out. Zed would kick me as far as possible.
I never liked that guy, animal intuition...

But over time I got better. I wouldn't be caught as quickly. I would walk quicker, quieter. I would stick to the shadows and only be seen when I wanted to be seen.
Hell, I even got better than Akali after a while.
I would be meters from the training grounds, watching them, eating, and they wouldn't even notice.
That's how good I was. I was -and am- a Ninja.

But there was always this one guy. This one freakishly overpowered, old geezer who would always know where I was - Shen's father.
He walked like a turtle, had a beard that reached to Neverland and needed a stick to stand up straight, and yet he would win every fight. He could never be surprised and could never be heard.
One second the hallway was empty, the next he was walking next to me. Creepy.

But despite what everyone thought he was nice.
He smiled. He taught, he lectured and he cared. He was wise, and strong and I liked him. He was something like a father to me.
(By the way, that makes me somewhat the sister Shen never wanted :P Oh come here, Sheny brother! Don't be shy! I just want to hug. (shen uses ult) ... He always runs away ...)

I would sit in my tree, eating my apple and watch the others train.
When I was finished I would simply let it drop, but it never hit the ground. He would be there, holding out another apple and I would take it and smile. He would sit with me some days, and ask me if I didn't want to join the others. To train and learn to become one of his Shadow Ninjas that uphold the balance in the world. But I would always refuse, and he would nod.
It was ... peaceful.
After a while I seriously started considering the question, and I decided I would join after all. I wanted to go tell him that one day, go see him and become a student.

Instead ... I saw him die.
I saw him being murdered by Zed.
I saw him usher his last words.
I saw his head being cut off.

He was supposed to be overpowered ...

I cried.
I left.
I didn't even think about revenge. I didn't even want to kill Zed, to beat him to a pulp, to grab his throat with my own two hands and squeeze and turn and listen to it snap, to watch him die in his realization that he was weak. That he would have never ever in normal circumstances won against that old geezer, let alone me, the real Ninja, the real master.
No, I didn't. Why? Because that was balance, too, I learned. Good and Evil. Refuge and Murder.
And so I returned to my old ways.

I visited Zaun, and then the Freljord and afterwards Piltover.
I met a nice, slim girl with lots of belts (for no reason at all).
We had fun together. We did all kinds of things. Whatever we wanted.
We almost became partners. She called me her 'sister'.
You hear that, Shen? Another sister for you. Now you've got two crazy ones.
Yeah, I was pretty wild at that time, repressing my sadness, and it kind' of got out of hand.
There were these two strong chicks', police. And we messed with them for a while. It was fun at first, but it kept on getting crazier and crazier. Jinx liked it.

One night before one big heist I woke up from a dream.
I couldn't remember it and I didn't really care, I got up, got ready and met up with Jinx.
It went well at first, but then it started going wrong.
She would always get away, even if she wasn't a Ninja. She would simply shoot herself an exit, but I was exhausted and in a corner, and they almost got me, those two chicks'.
I had a fever, and was sweating and delusional and suddenly I remembered my dream.

It was a nightmare.

I saw Zed kill Shen's father. I saw his lips move, saying '...protect the balance...' and I saw Zed smirk because he thought he was being spoken to. He wasn't, I was. But I saw something else, too. I saw him form three more words, words he'd said so often.
He had always said them, jokingly and I had always agreed, jokingly.
'...teach them fun...'

I woke up from my fever and being the master Ninja I am, really duped them police chicks and got away.

I came to the League to do just what my teacher told me to. So watch out Sheny brother, and Akali and Kennen, because I'm here to teach you how to live!

**:P
Rex, the Red Raccoon Ninja! **

#Skins?

I won't describe her appearance because A) I would just mess it up and B) I'd like to leave that to your imagination.
But I can still add Skin Concepts! :P

One would be Battlecast Rex.
She wouldn't be a mindless blob like the others Battlecast creatures.
She would be a Cyborg and shoot lightning bolts similar to Ezreal.
Viktor only reluctantly added her to his army because she insisted she was an animal (and kept on switching to Red-Form and back). Because of that she is more like his assistant and she isn't under his full control.
She mocks him by acting like a Zombie (raised up arms and ugghhhh sounds) and keeps on messing with him when he's working, like Dee Dee in Dexter's Laboratory.
Parts of her metal would also lazily be colored pink.
Her Q would make her arc electricity on the floor.
Her Passive would be metal parts and circuits.
Her W would shoots spike balls.
Her Red-form would be just like it is normally, but she would have one-colored, glowing robotic eyes and an antenna that bobs when she runs.
Her R wouldn't change at all.
She could get extra quotes, mocking robots and stuff.

#Recommended Items

item 3072 Bloodthirster or Blade of the Ruined Kingitem 3153
On the one hand she scales well with bonus AD, making the AD of Bloodthirster very important. BotrK doesn't give as much. However, she gains free attack speed from her Q, and can therefor proc the passive of BotrK more often, and she is reliant on collecting her Leftover Packs to uphold her Energy and her Q. If her Energy falls below 20 she will lose her bonus attack speed for 11 seconds. The active of BotrK helps her collect them.
I'm no pro, but what do you think would be better?

item 3031 Infinity Edge
Similar to Jinx, she gains a lot of free attack speed and can therefor proc Critical Strike Chances more often, making Crit Chance on her essential.
However, she can't go full Crit Chance, because of her bonus attack speed, and because she needs bonus Attack Damage for her spells. Infinity Edge + Statikk Shiv/ Youmuu's should be enough.

item 3142 Youmuu's Ghostblade
This item is core on her -> essential.
It gives her bonus AD (for her spells = more attack speed), Crit Chance and Mobility (for collecting her Leftovers) -> All she could ever ask for.
I'd put it up in essentials alongside Boots and Infinity Edge/ a life steal item.

Other good items
item 3156 Good offense-defense mix.
item 3102 This + her Red Form passive makes her the perfect scout and hard to assassinate.
item 3143 It's a good defensive item that helps you make sure enemies stay near your smoke.
item 3022 Same as Randuin's.
item 3172 I'd consider it as last item. It meshes well with her kit.

#Change Notes

Monday
-Added most of the Quotes and Items.
-Added a higher cooldown on her E when toggling back to ensure it isn't totally abused in kiting situations.

**Tuesday ** -Heightened the Energy cost per basic attack on her Q from 15 to 20 and increased the Cooldown from 11 to 13 to make her more Energy and Leftover reliant.
-Increased Movement Speed to 340 from 335 because she doesn't get any mobility in human form.
-Removed 'can't be revealed' aspect of Red!
-Added bonus Energy restore when in Red-Form, and changed Energy restore of the Leftovers to 25 always (from 10-30 based on your missing Energy).
-Added Kit Clarification.
-Removed the picture of her Q because it was no longer accurate.
-Added Battlecast Rex skin concept.

Friday
-Added a joke.
-Changed her W quite a bit. My problem with the ability was : Why waste 45 Energy to deal little damage and apply a weak slow? Then I thought: *What is her core damage source? * Her basic attacks.
So I changed the spell from 'deals physical damage and applies a 2.5 second slow and bleed' to 'deals physical damage and debuffs the target to receive a slow and bonus magic damage on-hit'. Also, I nerfed the AD ratio from +85% to +70% and removed that being hit by multiple traps makes every additional trap deal 50% less physical damage.
And I nerfed the Energy cost from 65/60/55/50/45 to 90/80/70/60/50. I believe this is justified.

  • However to compensate I removed the Energy cost of Red! completely.
  • I updated Kit Clarification to befit these changes.
  • Lastly, to make sure the new change isn't abused by playing hybrid-attack-speed Rex I made Acorn Fury! more AD reliant. I changed 25/40/55/70/85% (+2 per 15 bonus AD) to 30/40/50/60/70 (+2% per 10 bonus AD). At 200 bonus AD I would have had 112% more attack speed total, before. Now I would have 110% bonus attack speed. It's only really a small nerf for AP Rexes.

So ditzy, so fritzy, so, so, oh my head.

The kit itself has so many strange and interesting mechanics going on that I'd have to say that it almost seems intuitive (except my head hurts piecing it together). The kit looks just so much fun in every possible way, at the very least I'd give the champ a shot. While I can't say it's one of my favorite concepts for the same reasons as my other favorite concepts, this is certainly throwing everything into the wind, which I can't say I dislike.

Small tidbits:

  • I thought the actual ability name was kill me now :(

  • The kits seems a bit more of a fighter marksman, which breaks some new ground (a bold move there Watson).

  • For me, the concept is hit-or-miss, and I think you hit something (my aching head).

Stephenizgod7/21/2014, 11:22:30 PM1 votes

Oh my... where to begin. So you get my general tone ill say this: I like her :D

Very long Lore though it was funny. Her kit so confused me ive reread it many times and im still lost D: It seems legit an fun but i cant wrap my head around her play-style. Care to go into it a bit for me? How would you go in at level 6?
If possible would you mind giving each ability more description and explanations either right below or in a different section?

(BTW im also a contestant, but its not about winning for me its about finding an awesome concept so i hope i can help you, GL!)

Dragon Fang Shot7/22/2014, 3:13:36 AM1 votes

Ok, this was quite a good read. It's nice to see a more comical champion every now and then. I love how you put a lot of effort into her quotes and items. However, the kit in kind of confusing. I sorta get it, but sorta don't. Plus her ultimate is too much like Akali's shroud.

Felvyne7/22/2014, 10:39:48 AM1 votes

I love the way you have written the lore and the humoristic style.

It looks like a fun champion, and interesting and original ADC. I'm not sure about the ultimate, but except that she would be an interesting adding to the League.

Heltharion7/25/2014, 5:42:38 AM1 votes

I really like the humor in this champ. For the joke i was thinking she could do the Chubby Bunny thing but with apples. I dont know why, but it seems like it would be pretty funny. :)
