[Champion Concept] [Yordle Tank!] Mogura, the earthshaper

So to start this off, Ive been thinking about this quite a bit and i really would love to see a yordle tank. I would also love to see a Mole champion and i kinda got the idea from the moles in Avatar the last Airbender that taught Toph.

So anyways

I was thinking AD scaling since this would be the first yordle that scaled off it ability wise. maybe some AP scaling on the ult for like a trinity force or something but i would mainly prefer AD, all the other yordles scale off AP.

Abilities

Passive: Tectonic Shifts- Mogura can feel vibrations within the earth any abilities used within "x" distance of him grant vision. Mogura's Abilitys also grant vision

Q: Terra-form: Mogura bends the earth to his will moving the earth in target area beneath his enemies. (think kinda a ranged version or thresh flay) slowing targets by "X" %

W: Rock armor-Mogura bends the earth around him creating an armor out of it granting a huge % increase to bonus armor and MR for 3/3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds (im thinking % increase with level) abilities and auto attacks increase this duration by 1 second up to an additional 3 seconds when the duration of this ends Mogura loses all Bonus Armor and MR for 3 seconds, this duration can also be increased by 1 second for each ability or auto attack that hits him. ( i was trying to think of an extreme trade off for getting an extreme bonus for this ability, making it a risk if you have no follow up.)

E: Boulder Dash- Mogura Dashes in target direction rupturing the earth along his path and slowing enemies within the rupture, boulders are shot from the sides along the rupture during the dash damaging all targets hit.

R: Tectonic Blast Mogura Dives under the ground coming up underneath target enemy champion grabbing and slamming them into the ground at target location creating a crater pulling and damaging all enemies within its radius. (it pulls them to the center) ( After activating this ability once the target is grabbed you have a second or two while up in the air to choose the landing area otherwise they land at the location they were grabbed.)

Thanks for reading tell me what you think. This was just a rough idea for the champion no numbers were calculated because i would probably just make him insanely over powered ,only because i would probably be terrible at balancing.

I find the lack of an earth mage/manipulator in league is disturbing. Yes, we have Malphite or Rammus but they don't really fulfill this role.

Anyway, I like your concept! Let me break it down to the single parts:

  • His passive sounds really good on paper, but we might need to see what his actual power in game is. I mean, it nullifies every invade tentative/baron bait/dragon bait. But it's original and I appreciate it. Maybe you should change it so that instead of giving vision Mogura is alerted that someone has used an ability within X units.

  • How does actually work the targetting of your Q? I've understood what it does, but depending on how it does so it may gain a lot of power.

  • You should consider changing the bonus resistances from % to flat or at least a mix of those. I say this because if your are building tanky you will receive a lot of additional resistances but when the effect ends you are pretty much useless since you lose both the resistances of the skill and the ones of your items. If you aren't building tanky you won't even use this skill because you will gain very little from it, but in the end you will lose the little bonus resistances you have. Another idea would be making it with a passive and active effect, something like this:

Rock Armor: Passive: Mogura reinforces his body, gaining X bonus resistances. The passive doesn't work when this skill is on cooldown. Active: Mogura bends the earth around him creating an armor out of it tripling the bonus from his passive for 3/3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds. Abilities and auto attacks increase this duration by 1 second up to an additional 3 seconds.

  • Nothing to say about his E, except that I don't understand the boulders part.

  • His R is really strong. Does the targeting for the first champion work like Vi? You pick someone from range and you jump on him no matter what? If this is the case, I would consider removing the slamming to the ground part. Make it work like a mix of Vi and Orianna's ult. Imagine Mogura drilling a hole underground and when he reaches his enemy it grabs his leg with the hand coming out from the earth. The he pulls the enemy down, making the whole area around them collapse and the other enemies get pulled to the center.

Good job on this one.

On a side note would you mind leaving some feedback to my last concept Avrio, the Time Walker?
