This concept's a bit in the works, so expect things to change as I go. Feedback will be appreciated.

(Appearance is a reference, and not exactly what Ritz should look like)

General Concept

Ritz is a hybrid melee carry who can build up gold faster than other Champions and thus complete a kit more quickly. Being a thief, her skills revolve around speed and stealing enemy stats, instead of straight-up outpowering an enemy. In team fights, Ritz's damage can be very impressive, and she has enough tricks up her sleeve to avoid too much trouble.

Last Update: Feb. 6, 2014

Statistics (Numbers are subject to change)
HP: 450 (+85)
HPR/5: 7.45 (+0.55)
MP: 230 (+35)
MPR/5: 6.5 (+0.5)
Damage: 55 (+3)
Range: 125 (melee)
Armor: 15 (+3.5)
Magic Resistance: 30 (+1.25)
Attack Speed: 0.672 (+3%)
Movement Speed: 355

Abilities (expect changes; feedback is appreciated)

P - Pickpocket

Whenever Ritz hits an enemy Champion with an attack or ability, she gains 4 gold, up to once every 10 seconds per enemy. When Ritz gains a kill/assist, she gains 25 bonus gold.

Q - Quicksilver Shiv

Passive: Ritz's basic attacks deal 10/15/20/25/30 (+0.1 AP) bonus physical damage. (This does not add to Ritz's attack damage.)

Active: Ritz throws a shiv in target direction (skill-shot, 600 range), dealing 20/30/40/50/60 (+0.5 bonus AD)(+0.3 AP) physical damage to the first enemy it hits. If Ritz strikes a Champion with Quicksilver Shiv, she steals 15/17.5/20/22.5/25% movement speed from the target for 1 second. This can be cast while moving.

5/4.5/4/3.5/3 second cooldown. Costs 30 mana at all ranks.

W - Spinstrike

Ritz's next three basic attacks have 30/40/50/60/70% increased attack speed and cleave all around her (~175 radius), dealing 30/40/50/60/70 (+0.6 bonus AD)(+0.25 AP) physical damage to all nearby enemies. Resets attack timer for the first strike. Spinstrike can critically strike, dealing bonus damage.

9/8/7/6/5 second cooldown. Costs 40 mana at all ranks.

E - Glimmerdash

Ritz dashes forwards sending a clone of herself in the opposite direction (500 range). Enemies hit either by Ritz or the clone take 50/75/100/125/150 (+1.0 bonus AD)(+0.7 AP) magic damage (minions take half damage). You may reactivate Glimmerdash to swap places with the clone. The clone lasts 2 seconds, and can be controlled via ALT-Right Click commands.

(After dashing, the clone will automatically walk forward in the direction it is facing until it either expires or is given an alternate command.)

18/16/14/12/10 second cooldown. Costs 50/55/60/65/70 mana.

R - The Big Heist

Ritz becomes briefly untargetable and blinks to target enemy Champion (500 range), dealing 100/200/300 (+1.25 bonus AD) (+0.9 AP) physical damage and stealing 20/30/40% of the target’s AD and AP for 5 seconds. Ritz cannot steal more than 10/20/30 (+0.6 bonus AD) attack damage and 30/45/60 (+0.4 AP) ability power. Amounts stolen do not increase these caps.

80/70/60 second cooldown. Costs 100 mana. 500 casting range.

Seems like she would be a special kind of support that would quickly turn into a carry

Holy Mother of God. If this champion were released, do you know how much money you would be able to steal in just five minutes into the game? I mean, we already have gold income items for champions, such as the Talisman of Ascension or Frost Queen's Claim. Ritz's potential for early burst damage can be quickly itemized in just a few minutes. Seriously, no player should have a Trinity Force at the beginning five to ten minutes of the game. You could make Ritz's passive sway a little towards Twisted Fate's Passive? Other than this, it seems like a mixture of Katarina and LeBlanc. Not too good, but interesting. Nice job, all the same. :)

I like the Idea but if she does that much damage and can steal gold every few seconds I dont really like that option but its whatever works!:P she seems like more of a hypercarry if she gets a couple of kills like Soo gg if shes fed you wouldnt even be able to stop her Jukes for days. But she could also be a huge game changer if she took Ap/Ad from a "Fed" Champion like Thats a really good Idea I hope they put it in Im thinking like a smallish girl so it makes mroe sense that she steals alot of stuff but not my decision ;P

I like the basic concept, but the passive is a bit under powered, and the abilities are too much like other champions. here are the abilities I feel could possibly be better:

passive: steals 1 gold from enemy champion creeps, 2 for large creeps, and 50 for champion kills. (range: revealed area in 1500)

q: cutpurse

mana cost 40/55/70/85/100 cooldown 20

steals 5%(+1% per 100 of the lower of either ap or ad) of target champions current health in magic damage and steals 15/30/45/60/75 gold. if they do not have this much gold, they take the remaining amount in true damage.

w:clean getaway

mana cost 60 cooldown 14/13/12/11/10

passive: after 5 seconds of taking no damage, gains 20 movement speed +1 per second after, stacking infinitely

active: becomes invisible and gains 20% bonus movement speed for 1/1.75/2.5/3.25/4 seconds. if targeted by a spell or turret shot while stealthed, will block first hitting shot, be revealed, and loses bonus movement speed

(my idea for the e was pretty much based off of your q, really turning it into an aoe skillshot ability that steals armor and mr that has like a 2-3 second cooldown with low damage scalings)

r:hit and run

dashes twice through enemy champion, dealing 200/300/400(+your current movement speed + 15% of ap and 30% of ad)

this is probably incredibly unbalanced, it is very rough, and it really is just something that sounds interesting at the moment. what do you think?

if shes a melee caster I love her and I like the picture of her she look interesting I wuld get her :D

Nice idea, but you're just taking other champion abilities, tweeking them up a bit, the saying this is her abilities. Be creative man.

Q- much like Kennen

W- much like Katarina/Xin Zhao (attack speed)

E- a mix of Leblanc passive and W.

R- this one is a little unique. i keep thinking of Talon ult + cuthroat.

then again, a lot of abilities are based around other abilites (kha zix + rengar ult ; nasus + renekton) but this is because they have some sort of connection behind the lore.

Like I said, nice idea but would still need to have a lot of changes.

Her passive seems way too strong in my opinion. The timer or gold amounts should be lowered (except on kill).

Would her clone be an exact replica? as that would seem to be very very strong and could require a long cooldown.

Put in Ritz's numbers. They're bound to be imbalanced, so suggestions will help.
