{Champion Concept} Ignis: Keeper of the Dragon

He stood leaned slightly forward on the balcony overlooking the fortress Draconis, home of the Dragon Watchers, as its gleaming pearl spires glared harshly in the sunlight and the many brave warriors below trained for the dangers of combat. "You understand, mighty Veroath, why it is you were captured and brought here?" the small but powerful human dressed in bone white pearlescent armor turned to face the dragon Veroath, chained to the wall.
"I do not, you fragile creature, I was merely out for a leisurely stroll and light lunch when an army of your so called 'knights' attacked me unceremoniously and brought me here to you, their king" the dragon twitched in its restraints. "I am no king, I am merely the Keeper, watching over all here. Now to your crimes, they would not be so grievous were it not that the leisurely stroll was through a village, and the light snack consisted of the inhabitants therein" he shoots the dragon a sharp look of superiority. "Do not defile me this way with your haughty looks. make no mistake that were I unchained you wouldn't even be a worthy snack!" The dragon roared and writhed in its chains causing a brilliant fire to emanate from its body which was then siphoned into the chains. "Spirit chains. They absorb the Soulfire which is the source of any creatures power, especially dragons, and become empowered. Were I to simply cut you with my Keepers sword, the very Soulfire which gives you strength would burst forth from the chains and wound you. Now tell me why it is that you dared to attack a human village?" the Keeper, Ignis, brandished his sword. "Soon the world will belong to dragons and creatures of the void. I was merely warming their path" Veroath spoke triumphantly giving no question to whether he was serious or not. "What do you mean?" the Keeper began to look genuinely curious. "The end of humanity nears and its heralds shall be the filthy half blood Shyvana, and the weak minded prophet Malzahar. You cannot stop it so you might as well release me now and i may spare you a slow death!" the dragons boisterous laughter shook the walls in the highest room of the tallest tower in Draconis. The Keeper raised his sword and with one quick blow the chains erupted vaporizing the dragon that once stood there. Though he was gone his words of humanities end still hung in the air as a mystery needing to be solved. There was only one place where he could get to those who might have answers: The League of Legends.

"His strength in battle is only matched by his arrogance outside of it" - Jarvan 4 after his first encounter with Ignis outside of the Fields of Justice.

Overview: Ignis is an attack damage based melee bruiser with high single target damage, low CC, and good synergy with auto attack based champions. He is designed to get enemy carries out of position, allow them to be focused quickly, and then move into their weakened team with his ultimate to clean up the rest.

Main Roles: Fighter Secondary: Tank

Base Stats:

HEALTH 435 (+93) ATTACK DAMAGE 54.3 (+3.5) HEALTH REGEN. 6.75 (+0.55) ATTACK SPEED 0.638 (+3.25%) MANA 210 (+35) ARMOR 18 (+3.5) MANA REGEN. 5.35 (+0.6) MAGIC RES. 30 (+1.25) RANGE 125 (Melee) MOV. SPEED 340

Abilities:

Passive: Soul Fire - After landing an ability on an opponent, Ignis' next basic attack is empowered dealing an additional 80% of his AD as magic damage. If this empowered attack kills a unit it restores health and mana equal to 12% of damage dealt (+ 1% per level)(This bonus is doubled if its a champion kill)

Q: Spirit Chain (Mana: 45 Cooldown: 10/9/8/7/5.5 range:750) - Ignis launches a linear skillshot chain which upon contacting a unit deals 70/130/175/250/310 (+ 90% Bonus AD)Physical damage and pulls that unit to Ignis and gives them a Spirit Fire mark lasting 3 seconds. Auto Attacks to a marked unit consume the mark and deal Magic Damage equal to 4/5/6/8/12% of their bonus AD and AP (Hitting a minion reduces the cooldown of this ability by 2)

W: Shatter Point (Mana: 30 Cooldown: 6 Range: 200)- Ignis finds a weakness in his enemies armor causing his next auto attack to ignore 15/20/25/30/45% of the targets armor (+ 5 Flat Pen X .2/.3/.35 X level)

E: Dragons Roar (Mana: 60 Cooldown: 12 range: 675) - Ignis performs a dragons roar intimidating enemies and giving him courage. This reduces the attack speed of nearby enemy champions by 25/35/50/65% and increases Ignis' attack speed by 25/35/50/65% for 7 seconds ramping up over 3 seconds

R: Dragon Aspect (Mana: 100 Cooldown: 80 range: 1200) - Ignis calls on the power of the Keeper to take on the aspect of a dragon, channels for .75 seconds slowing nearby enemies by 30% for 2 seconds and absorbing their Soul fire. This increases his armor and magic resist by 30/40/55 (+ 2/4/6% X number of enemies), and increasing his move speed by 8/10/15% X number of enemies affected for 12 seconds. (Cast in a 45 degree cone in front of Ignis)

These abilities allow him to burst down a single target and be able to survive in team fights (as well as escape from five man ganks while split pushing if that's what he chooses to use his ult for)

Hidden Passive: Fighting the Half Breed - Ignis deals .5% bonus damage to Shyvana with Spirit Chain and gains an additional .5% armor from Dragon Aspect, but Dragons Roar Attack speed debuff is reduced by 2% against Shyvana.

Lots of work went in to this, (I would appreciate feedback :D) going to try and get one of my talented friends to draw some concept art for me since i cant draw to save my life but for now i will have a description section immediately following this little thought bubble thing.

Description: Pearlescent, bone white armor. No helmet. Shoulder armor will have two tapered sharp white spikes curving elegantly outward and upward from halfway to the neck extending to the edge of the shoulder. The neck will be partially covered with a close fitting mesh in the style of scales. The chest plate will have grooves starting from halfway between the sides and the chest going upward at an angle toward the back, the ungrooved midsection will have stylized flames etched into it that appear to be siphoning into the grooves. the raised section between each groove will end in a short, blunt spike angled backward and to the outside slightly. the leg plating will be of similar design with the grooves extending from the outside half of the front of each leg. the greaves will continue this pattern except instead of grooves, the spikes will just protrude slightly, going backward and to the side, and originating from the outside edges of the feet. He will have a black and white sword, with the outer edge being white, and the core being black with a flame pattern and gold accents to make it look more like a flame. He will have a coil of chain attached to a spike wrapped around his left arm, and will hold his sword in his right.

Ability Animations: -auto attacks will follow a side to side sweeping pattern with critical hits being straight stabs. -Spirit Chain will have the chain thrown forward attaching to the first enemy unit it hits then being yanked immediately upon contact. The proceeding spirit fire mark will be represented by an orange flame and a representation of the chains spike above their head. -Shatter point will be indicated by a change in stance so that his sword is raised over his right ear pointing forward. He will sweep his left hand along the flat of the blade as he draws it back. After using the attack he will return to a normal stance. -Dragons Roar will be shown by a dragons head made of red fire appearing over his face, debuffed enemies will have a red fire encircling them. Ignis will maintain the dragons face until the attack speed buff wears off. -Dragon Aspect will have white fire being siphoned from enemies in its range to Ignis (like Blade of the Ruined King active) and Ignis' armor will be covered with the white fire until his ultimate goes on cooldown. -Soul Fire empowered attacks will be represented by a blue flame engulfing Ignis' sword. This blue flame will burst when a target is hit to show it has been used.

Emotes:

Upon Selection: Their words shall fail them.

Attacking:

Back to ashes!

This is mercy!

Steel cannot protect them!

I shall send them home on their shield!

Movement:

The Keeper knows the way.

I shall do it.

They shall fall as the dragons.

The sword is my keeper.

My chains shall bind them.

Taunt: "I've fought dragon eggs stronger than you."

Joke: "Funny thing about dragons eggs, they always have a good yolk."

Laugh: (should be light laughter with an air of superiority.)

Special to Shyvana: The herald of the dragons: I have found you.

Special to Malzahar: A corrupted mind rests in a shallow grave.
