Stephenizgod·6/21/2014, 1:26:06 AM·1 votes·439 views

Stromzeiter is a champ that uses electrokinesis, the power to control electricity, and yes he is German. Unlike Xerath he is a human and does not shoot lightning out like a laser beam. Unlike Kennen he is not a yordle ninja... he is a human. He is able to generate and control electricity. He talks really fast and sporadically, his mind moves faster then his mouth. He has odd quick and jerky movements. He is thin and tall and has short frizzy hair from the electricity in his body. He wears a T-Shirt, the sleeves burned off, with copper bands on his arms and over his scorched black pants. He has old ancient shoes and gloves on with bright gems them and a very gnarled old staff on his back. He wears big dark sunglasses.

He is a ranged champion who uses Mana. He also starts with high Movement Speed and Attack Speed, but has reduced starting AD and Health. He is a highly mobile Mage/Assassin with high burst damage and mobility. He does best in Mid, but he can also Top.

Lore

Stromzeiter is from an ancient magic school that teaches control over one of nature most unpredictable and fearsome forces, lightning. Some believe that its creator long long ago unlocked this most powerful and secret art when he and his fellow mages battled and subdued a being of pure Arcane power, but that is just an old tale. Stromzeiter is one of the most talented pupils to ever learn lightning magic, his teachers believe it is because his personality is very similar to the very nature of lightning itself. One day Stromzaeiter was trying to get a very powerful spell to work, one that could temporarily turn the users body into electricity, but for some reason he couldnt figure it out. Then during one of his many attempts he accidentally decimated half the room. When the dust settled he noticed a hidden passage that went deep underground, wary he slowly descended into the darkness. When at last the stairs came to a halt he found him self in a large long room, on the other side was a table with an odd staff holding an odd gem and 4 smaller duller gems sitting on a pedestal. It looked like no one had been there for eons, since before the creation of the school. Without realizing it he started to reach for the staff, but he caught himself before he touched it. It was good that he did, when he threw some dust on it the dust was electrocuted. This was the staff of an ancient and powerful mage, one who mastered lightning and harnessed all of its abilities and put them into a gem, the gem was lightning. Testing the smaller gems he learned they were safe to touch, so he picked them up. When he did they lit up and the staff started to glow and rise off the table, electricity pouring from the staff. Realizing the gems were the key to using the staffs seemingly infinite power, he fashioned gloves and boots to channel the power through his body. Wanting to test his new abilities he decided to head to the ancient battle ground in Valoran, the League of Legends.

##ABILITIES##

  • [PASSIVE]: Stromzeiters basic attacks deal 8%/17%/26% of his AP as magic damage at levels 1/9/18. When an enemy has been hit 4 times by Stromzeiter, the next ability that hits that target will become overloaded and will be electrocuted for an extra 30% of his AP.
  • [Q] [Electric Rend][50/55/60/65/70 mana][6/5.5/5/4.5/3.5 second cooldown]:
    Stromzeiter conjures a blade of pure electricity and swings it horizontally and hitting everything in a cone in front of him. All enemies hit will be slowed by 30%. In addition to activating his passive it also leaves all enemies hit with 1 stack. Activates on-hit effects to champions hit Damage: Low base, High Scaling
  • [W] [Lightning Step][70 mana at all levels][13/11/9/7/5 second cooldown]:
    (Can be cast three times) Stromzeiter super charges his mind turning into electricity, separating from his body he shoots forward to targeted location, damaging anything he hits on the way. Once he lands he can lunge one more time, but the range is decreased as is the damage, unless he hit a champion with the first lunge. If he casts it a third time his body will be teleported to his minds location, if it is not cast again the electricity dissipates and his mind returns. While he is lunging his body is capable of being damage, although it is slightly reduced. Damage: Medium for first lunge, Low for second lunge
  • [E] [Strom Field][40/45/50/55/60 mana][10/9.5/8.5/7.5/7 second cooldown]:
    Stromzeiter creates a field of electricity in an area damaging all enemies in it dealing more damage the longer they stand in it. It adds 1 stack of his Passive upon casting and then 1 stack for every second they stay in the electricity. If Stromzeiter is standing in the electricity his passives damage is doubled. Damage: Low
  • [R] [Lightning Rod][100/90/80 mana][136/115/85 second cool down]:
    Stromzeiter channels electricity through his body then he shoots into the sky and strikes in targeted area electrocuting anyone in a radius around him. If he lands directly on a champion he does bonus damage and stuns them, if his Ult kills the target his cooldown is reduced. The range is 2200. Damage: Very High; Radial Damage: Medium

-Due to his Ult and W he is a great roamer that deals a lot of damage. His passive helps him farm and deal burst damage. His Q deals decent damage depending on his AP and has a good slow to help him get his burst off. He has great team fight capabilities as well with his E and W if used correctly. His Ult and W also act as great engages, or as great ganks. The reason his Ult cannot be used against the same champion is because lightning never strikes the same place twice...

-As an example on how he could be used, a possible combo would be to use E, then Q, then go in with W and depending on your damage you can either AA them using the E and your passive or just throw on an ignite and port back to your body and watch the kill counter. Another combo would be to R to an enemy, upon landing if they are not dead use E then Q then just AA them down. In a team fight wait for your engager to engage, then use R to land on their carry, throw down E, then Q, then use W to hit as many champions as you can, using the second lunge to end up in a safe location, at max level and with decent CDR if you killed the carry with your ult it should be back up by now, reengage and clean-up the trash.

-If you can think of how to make this Champ better please comment below and i will try and fix it. If anyone who knows the game mechanics and balancing well wants to add AP ratios and cooldowns that make sense also leave a comment and i will add them in and give you your due credit ;D.

P.S. How do you like the name? its mismatched bastardized german involving what i think are the words for electricity and lightning rod, and as far as i know is gibberish.

An alternatative to his E

  • [E] [Chaser Charge][60/65/75/85/95][5.5/5/4.5/3.5/3 second cooldown]:
    Stromzeiter picks a target then releases a small bolt of electricity. If there are enemies in between Stromzeiter and his target it will bounce to each one on its way to the target, once it hits an enemy they will be stunned. The stun length is based on how many enemies hit before hitting the target to a maximum of 1.25 seconds the minimum being .5 seconds, but it must hit at least one enemy before hitting the target to stun. The range it can bounce to does not exceed its normal cast range Damage: High

This E allows him to have some strong poke and CC. I feel both abilities fit his kit well, this originally was going to be his ultimate and it would be a global but i like the other ult better. This could also be an alternate Q, I like his current Q but im not sure which one fits the build better.

He sounds very interesting. He's actually extremely similar to a champion I've invented... I feel like the "lightning never strikes the same place twice" part of his ult is a bad idea because if he's doing really badly, his ult can become useless as a damaging tool for a really long time (until he gets a kill, which is difficult if he's been shut down). Additionally, if he uses it and someone else steals the kill, he still can't use it on the targets he's already used it on. Also, he's going to want to burst his opponent down multiple times while he's still laning (before he starts roaming a significant amount), and if he doesn't get the kill, his ult then becomes almost useless for a while (because it's harder to get the kill later when he can't ult at them). Additionally, it's a bit wonky if you can protect someone from his ult just by standing near them (if he can't hit you with it). Also, the high-range instant escape seems a bit powerful (although admittedly, it's his only escape if he's caught out of position). I like how it starts with a high cooldown, but it might get a bit low late game. Maybe it should be a single-target gapcloser that also damages nearby enemies (so you have to find a convenient minion to leap to if you want to escape)? I like the idea of his W, though (especially if his other attacks (particularly his Q) are short ranged, so he can leap in, poke, and leap back out).

TL;DR: "Lightning never strikes twice" is a significant nerf if he's behind, but nonexistent if he's fed

Side note: You misspelled "storm" in "storm field" (I assume)
