[Champion Concept] Kate & Kane - The Troublemakers of Bilgewater

The Neverworld··9 votes·2,017 views

##Lore:
"To all pirates on these salty waters: If you call yourself a pirate, then kill every man who comes in your way!" - Kate & Kane

"Kate and Kane are for most people of Bilgewater a thorn in their flesh. While most like Gangplank or Miss Fortune fight and stand for Bilgewater becoming a strong and reliable society - Kate and Kane fight against. For some reason many think it is their stubbornness that brings them to rebel against. But in truth Kate and Kane fight for a cause that most have forgotten since the Institute of War was created - Pirate's pride.

Born and raised in poverty and by a few good souls in Bilgewater, Kate and Kane are a pair like no one else. Abandoned by their parents, Kate and Kane had it always rough in their childhood, but not only because of that. Kate and Kane were born with a genetic defect, causing that their eyes were shining. Thus society dissociated from them even more, until Kate and Kane unlocked their hidden potential once when a ruthless pirate attempted to kill a young boy on the streets. Without a weapon nor guidance, she summoned magic - magic which imbued her fist and made the pirate fall and die.

Since then Kate and Kane were rumored to be heartless killers, which in fact was partially true, then what began as an act of good will, ended up in falling for insanity. Kate and Kane were not only siblings, but also twins who never left each others side, which made their bond very special - maybe too special. When Kane once kept a look on a woman far too long, Kate punished him by taking out his left eye. After the incident, Kane swore Kate eternal loyalty.

Kate and Kane's motive joining the Institute of War was to show Runeterra the true Pirate's pride. Like they say, nowadays people drink rum and trade their wares and call themselves pirates. Pirates, as they stated, are ruthless and dangerous - they murder and loot, this is the only joy for a true pirate."

##Champion Explanation - Kate & Kane, the Troublemakers of Bilgewater

  • Kate & Kane (Shortcut: KK / Double-K / KaKane / Katen) are unidentical twins with a very deep boundary, maybe too deep...
  • Kate & Kane are pirates who murder and loot like ... real pirates. Even though they use guns, they empower their skills by using magic.
  • "Katen" are a fresh type of Marksman and partially Assassin due to the tricky mechanic and burst potential, best played on bot or top, perhaps mid too.
  • KK's special appearance in the League is shown like this: When they walk, they very closely go together, with each left and right arm hugging their backs, walking simultaneously. When they enter combat or attack, they immediately turn and lean on their backs, while each one of them uses a gun/rifle with one hand in the direction where the target is. For example: There can be a other enemy behind them, they will switch the hands but won't turn 360° around.
  • Kate & Kane are somewhat "tricksters" which is very uncommon for Bilgewater or an pirate, but due to the magic talent that they have unlocked, they can use them to dodge bullets and infuse their bullets with additional damage.
  • Because most pirates like Gangplank and MF focus more on uniting Bilgewater, Katen tries to create chaos hence calling the Pirate's Pride on their side.
  • The strange relationship between Kate & Kane relates to some of the Manga/Anime and few stories about strange sibling love. However, Kate feels more for Kane, but Kane loves her as her sister, thus making it awkward and complicated, which is also seen in their quotes.
  • It is said that most of the recent attacks on other countries were caused by Katen's direct moves and influence, thus making them partially responsible for the bad reputation of Bilgewater.
  • Kane's appearance, moves and voice are similiar to Dante from the Devil May Cry series. Kate on the other hand, is similiar to "Lady" from Devil May Cry 3 when it comes to voice and acting.

##Stats:
Health 379 (+82) Attack damage 47.5 (+3)
Health regen. 5 (+0.62) Attack speed 0.633 (+3.3%)
Mana 230 (+46) Armor 17 (+3.5)
Mana regen. 7 (+0.9) Magic res. 30 (+0)
Range 550 (Ranged) Mov. speed 330

##Abilities:

SK = Skillshot
BA = Basic Attack
ATR = Attack Timer Reset
LO = Lock-On
MC = Mouse Cursor
AU = Aura
P = Passive
AoE = Area of Effect
DoT = Damage over Time
D = Dash
T = Teleport

| Ability | Name | Effect | Type | Range | Cost | Cooldown |- | Innate Passive | Pirate's Pride | After using an ability, Kate & Kane's next basic attack will critically strike. When critical strike would appear before passive, then the critical strike damage will be increased to 220%/235%/250%/265%/280%/295%/310% (level 1/3/6/8/10/14/16)

| Ability | Name | Effect | Type | Range | Cost | Cooldown |----------------- | Q | Quicksilver | Kate's and Kane's next basic attack deals additional 35/45/55/65/75 (+45% Bonus AD) physical damage and vulnerates the target for 2.5 seconds. For each 150 range the enemy target walks, it suffers each time 5% of his missing health in magic damage. |BA + ATR + DoT |650| 45 / 50 / 55 / 65 / 75 | 14.5 / 13 / 11.5 / 10 / 8.5

| Ability | Name | Effect | Type | Range | Cost | Cooldown |----------------- | W | Gunslinger | Every 4th consecutive attack deals bonus 10/20/30/40/50% of their attackdamage (+10% Bonus AD) and slows the target by 30% (doubled when critical strike) for 1 seconds. This can't occur a second time on the same target within 6 seconds.|P|||

| Ability | Name | Effect | Type | Range | Cost | Cooldown |----------------- | E | SSSidestep| Kate commands Kane to disappear in a cloud of magic, to then appear immediately in a location within 700 range for 4.5 seconds. Kane attacks the nearest target (prioritized Champions) or attacks the same target as Kate does. Both can apply critical strikes and on-hit effects, as same as Kane and Kate will both apply Gunslinger's passive stack and Quicksilver's damage. Kane has 1/3 of Kate & Kane's max health and can be shutdown by enemy attacks. If Kane is getting shutdown, he returns to Kate. However, if recast, Kate immediately appears at Kane's position and teams up again. |MC + T|700|50/65/80/95/105|18.5 / 17.5 / 16.5 / 15.5 / 14.5 / 13.5

| Ability | Name | Effect | Type | Range | Cost | Cooldown |----------------- | Ultimate | Tricksters | Kate leaves Kane on the current location while she dashes up to 500 range forward. While she can move freely and attack freely, Kane will stay at the position and attack enemies too, prioritized Champions or Kate's target. Upon next cast, Kate will dash once more, but Kane will follow up and dash to Kate(Explanation as image down below). If no actions were taken, after 3 seconds Kane will come back to Kate. Each dash that goes through enemy Champions will deal 70/110/150 (+50% total AD) physical damage. While the Ultimate is active, Kate & Kane are unable to activate SSSidestep. However, it is possible to use SSSidestep before, dashing as Kate all alone and meeting up - or teleporting back upon recast of SSSidestep |MC + D|500|100 at all ranks|110 / 90 / 70

##Explanation & Personal Opinion That this Champion is a twin-champion/dual-champion is alone enough to say that it is a niche not existant yet. While it is true that Kate & Kane's kit might have some strong power inside - it isn't that overpowered as most might think.

Take SSSidestep as example: SSSidestep can be used to create two sources of damage, but in other hand is THE ability to escape. While most other Marksman like Vayne, Ezreal, Tristana, Lucian, have one ability to dodge/escape, Kate & Kane have only one besides of the Ultimate. A very high risk Champion which can award when played well.

Let's take an explanation of their abilities: If you use SSSidestep, you command Kane as a non-controllable (somewhat) turret to deal damage. If you use it too often, you'll lose the ability to teleport to Kane once you need to escape.
If you use the Ultimate, you can open tricky mechanics like SSSidestep does.

Let's see.. a common situation as Kate & Kane is following: You use SSSidestep, you attack as both standalone Champions one target, you have increased damage on the upperhand and great chance to trick and outsmart your opponent. The same goes for the Ultimate Trickster, which is similiar to SSSidestep, in which case you can again attack a enemy with both sources.
If you however use SSSidestep and Trickster in a combination, you can trick the enemy team and escape. But if you fail or use it too often, you can only use one time Kane to appear and deal double damage with you.

Over all, Kate & Kane are strong against close-combat enemies like Fighters (Riven, Darius, ecetera), close-ranged enemies like Marksman/Fighters (Jayce, Quinn, Vayne, Lucian) and the mechanic allows also to counter some of the Supports (Karma, Leona, ecetera). Kane can act as a decoy, blocking projectiles or abilities that were meant to hit Kate instead.

###Quotes: Kate sounds like "Lady" from the Devil May Cry 3 game, while Kane sounds like Dante from the Devil May Cry series.

Selecting on Champion Selection:
Kate & Kane simultaneously say "For the Pirate's Pride!"

Ingame - Walking:
Kate (randomly - if boots bought)"Those boots are uncomfortable"
Kate "I would give anything to get back on water"
Kate "I will never understand those landsmen"
Kane "Oh sis' you're looking tired"
Kane "Perhaps its only me, but I get to like this place"
Kane (randomly - if walking on river) "A one inch river? This is infantile."

Ingame - Attacking:
Kate (randomly - if critical strike occurs on enemy Champion) "Are they made of paper?"
Kate (randomly - after attack on enemy Champion) "What? You want me to speak like a pirate?"
Kane (in combination with previous quote - after second attack on enemy Champion) "Don't be arrrrwkward sis'!"
Kate (in combination with previous quote) "Shut up bro.."

Ingame - Joke:
Kane pokes on Kate's back and Kate looks in the opposite way of Kane - then she finds out that her brother poked her to see in that direction and blushes and screams with a angry and squeaky voice "ONIIIICHAAAAAAN!!!" (Oniichan - japanese word for older brother)

Ingame - Taunt:
Kate "My fortune is yours for the taking.. in one piece - do or die!"
Kate raises her guns and threatens "Even the heart of my brother is colder than your weapon - HIT ME!"
Kate "Hihi, you can't stand a chance"
Kane "What are you waiting for? For my decay?"
Kane "Challenge this lady and you'll mess with me!"

Ingame - Laugh:
Kate starts laughing out loud and Kane gets dragged to laugh too - because of the awkwardness, he attempts to laugh terrible loud, until Kate sends her ellbow into his stomach to stop him.

Ingame - Dance:
Kate & Kane start to fight with each other as if it was for their life. They seem to have fun, like pirates do when they fight. Kane draws his blade and Kate draws her dual daggers and fight similiar to this video for a short time. http://youtu.be/QPbZHvvaHIs?t=32s

Special Interactions:
*If Kate & Kane uses their Q while both are split, both will say simultaneously * "BULLET RAIN!".
If Kate & Kane uses their E, she will say "Come back safe, please oniichan!".

If Kate & Kane meets Gangplank, Kane says "Uhh Kate look, a fake pirate", "Do you still boast being a captain by stabbing a old man in the back?".

If Kate & Kane meets Miss Fortune, Kane will pipe and then Kate says "You want to lose another eye?". "I dare you to seduce Kane - or I'll cut your throat".

I definitely like the 2-person character thing. My first actual champ concept Romp + Stomp is a dual-yordle adc champion.

I also like the addition of another pirate champion. I know there's lots of pirate skins, but the only real pirates (or bounty hunters) are GP and MF. And I don't see a lot of people playing GP lately, so a new pirate champ would be awesome.

The Neverworld2 votes

Yeah that was my attempt to accomplish both. I once created something like a twin champion, but it was more of a "dual-stone-golem" which was more a one-person thing with just two-in-one appearance.

GP is a very high risk, especially against the actual high top laners like Jayce, Vayne, Renekton, Ryze. He barely escapes them in early and gets farm denied. Over the top, his kit is forced to focus on high DPS plus Crit, which makes him dependent on laning phase, but also very weak in late game. He needs definitely a new rework or some adjustments.

Rubitonabuilding2 votes

GP doesn't really have strong role that he fits into. People typically play him top or jungle, but neither of those are very strong. I've played a few games of support GP that went well (more of a kill lane than support). But yeah, even just a buff or slight rework of some of his existing abilities would probably bring him back into play.

The Neverworld2 votes

Yeah tried him as GP Support long ago before people tried to claim "I break the meta!" lol xD
GP AP Support is extremely strong and can wreck other lanes with his Ultimate. I love it everytime when I get focused with stuns and escape it with a 1k heal and cleanse.

Remlap12232 votes

Mah man. I also did GP support way back when, and as a GP main, I'd have to say support is currently his most viable position, due to Gangplank being Olaf'd (overnerfed) and Yasuo'd (not viable in his intended role), which in turn has lead him to be something I'd refer to as being Blitzcranked (being forced into a support role for the two reasons above).

Remlap12233 votes

First thing that came to mind when I saw them:

THIS IS OUR TOWN SCRUB!

YEAH BEAT IT!

But in all seriousness I love them. We need a true set of twin champions, and Bilgewater has been lacking representation lately.

Rhyto2 votes

I am overblown with this amount of dedication and heck with some reworks by Riot "If" needed this champion is quite ready to try out in PBE :o

The Neverworld1 votes

Thank you very much!
Apparently, there are way more things needed to realize - models, animations, sfx, vfx, balance testing and so on. I understand your compliment and I'm really grateful, but let's be honest - compared to other Champion Designers like Ezreal or IronStylus, there needs way more things to realize that in any way.

Rhyto1 votes

I mean we'd have to see live demos, possibly custom mods similar to how players can customize their skins, make your own virtual test center like the PBE?

The Neverworld2 votes

That's not working. The only closest things are to draw on a empty field of the map. (Photoshop). There's no way to emulate a server like EUW/NA/ecetera, because you need both the client (that we all have) and the server files (which are installed in the servers and are not free for all)

Rhyto1 votes

Your right about that and I think it'd be difficult to just create another MOBA yourself in which to test out your ideas and such but lol thought I'd give a shot, still inexperienced in the tech field sadly.

Rhyto2 votes

The Passive is quite interesting really and if you stack SS and other critical items along with BT and LW they will be a powerful ADC

The Neverworld2 votes

Don't forget Infinity Edge. If you're lvl 16, you have a total of 310% critical strike damage - add IE and its 360%!

Rhyto1 votes

That's scary....:o item 3031

Rhyto1 votes

I recommend him to get a job as Character Developer/Concept Designer (The Two person champion would seem difficult to control ingame especially in Katen are dealt double dmg from Kane and Kate's end, the questions is that would Kate or Kane be receiving the dmg? Because from the lore Kate seems to be the head of the two since Kane and MF had a brief moment :P

The Neverworld2 votes

No dude, Kate and Kane are one person in once. As I wrote in the Champion explanation:

KK's special appearance in the League is shown like this: When they walk, they very closely go together, with each left and right arm hugging their backs, walking simultaneously. When they enter combat or attack, they immediately turn and lean on their backs, while each one of them uses a gun/rifle with one hand in the direction where the target is. For example: There can be a other enemy behind them, they will switch the hands but won't turn 360° around.

Summary: Both are one unit and act as one. They have no different attackspeed ecetera, except when they split. When Kate and Kane split, Kane has 1/3 (as written) of their both maximum health and when he gets "killed" he returns back to Kate.

And I don't think that I'm that much worth as an Champion Designer.. I just got enough experience because I do them since last year march.

Rhyto1 votes

Alright that makes sense, so that's a weak point to mention right? if the ultimate is proced eliminate Kane to weaken Kate and nulify the ultimate?

The Neverworld1 votes

Yeah that's the way. But that's the way of a trickster - use them quickly or fail.

Rhyto2 votes

I like that idea, would really have to execute the ultimate or Katen is pretty much weakened but the passive does help at least :P and heck Kane could be used as a decoy in the end lol.

UNST3RBLICH2 votes

Would these be separate champions respectively, or one duo-champion? Not sure how I feel about a two person duo like that as one 'Champion' selection. Otherwise, I fully support more piracy in League!

The Neverworld1 votes

This is the second time someone didn't read the Champion Explanation thoroughly xD

KK's special appearance in the League is shown like this: When they walk, they very closely go together, with each left and right arm hugging their backs, walking simultaneously. When they enter combat or attack, they immediately turn and lean on their backs, while each one of them uses a gun/rifle with one hand in the direction where the target is. For example: There can be a other enemy behind them, they will switch the hands but won't turn 360° around.

They are one duo-champion. They very closely go as one unit. They seperate from each other when using SSSidestep or Ultimate, but just for a short time.

UNST3RBLICH1 votes

Oh I read it, just seems pretty iffy. It's not like how Nunu is built. It's a yordel ridding a yeti, but it's always clear that it's pretty much one entity and can be attacked as such, and there's no degree of separation. The concept of 'conjoined twins' doesn't really seem fitting, but that's just my take on it.

The Neverworld1 votes

Why not? Braum with his giant shield is pretty big - and Cho'Gath with 6 stacks is big as three Champions together. Bigger hitbox means bigger chance to hit, all included in the risky pick and the trickster kit. ^^

UNST3RBLICH1 votes

Ok, I wasn't saying they would be small, just that it would be confusing when you have something like this. This is like Miss Fortune and Gangplank walking side by side with arms around each others waists. First thought people are going to have might be, "Which one do I target first?" You could perhaps make it something like Zed and his shadow, where with the ult the second party comes in to help attack for a short duration, and maybe even a passive where at three stacks of any basic attack the other one darts in for a quick crit chance like Quinn and Valor.

It just doesn't flow very well, but it seems like it certainly can be awesome. Like for instance, could do a W like Jinx's, where you have one of them who focuses on attack speed and range and can toggle to the other who focuses on attack damage in close quarters (pistols at 9 paces and cutlasses at 2 paces, if you will). Mixes in with Jayce's kit as well, offering range, melee, but giving it a better look and flow, IMO. Otherwise, might as well just make them conjoined twins for real.

The Neverworld1 votes

Uh..... Kate and Kane are one person. They share the same health and same "body". There is no difference, they just change their animations from walking to fighting ecetera like every other Champion. If you use Kane to appear at a target, he acts more of a decoy - Kate is alone, but will meet up again after the duration of Kane or his health gets to 0.

UNST3RBLICH1 votes

You've obviously not picking up on how confusing the concept is, especially how you just tried to describe them as separate entities inhibiting the same 'body' but have animations which show them as two distinguishable figures. I'm just saying, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense or seems to aim at intentional obscurity, as has been hinted at by other comments. Regardless, good luck, I guess.

HarleyQwin Hades2 votes

yheeea thats awesome! ilike the looks of the first appearance, so cool. plus the dante style to kane is also cool, and the skins are tight..maybe not the mecha one but the others, i like the "are they made of paper" and the "what? you want me to speak like a pirate" maybe even some stereotype sayings like "yoho and a bubble of gum" or "scuurrrvey" "gimie your loot" when they kill a enemy.. oooh ooh theyr passive could be like , they take all the enemys gold when slain or half thier gold but on a cooldown. like aatrox's passive. so the enemy is forced to worry about holding on to coins befor they battle kate and kane. which brings stress to enemy and safety to kate and kane.

The Neverworld2 votes

Thanks dude!
I wanted to go away from the stereotypes because Kate & Kane are more of the "badass pirates" and not the "disney pirates" like Gangplank or Miss Fortune.

About your passive, I worry it is not makeable, as Gangplank as he was released, could steal the money of enemy Champions and as you know it, doesn't have this ability anymore because it was very unhealthy. Anyhow, I do agree about the unhealthy part, as there is no counterplay for it. Imagine if you play against them with this passive, your mood will drastically fall and you can't make any plays to win - that's a bit sad

Oh and thanks for the other comments in my other champion concepts!

HarleyQwin Hades3 votes

your totally right :) ild be soo annoyed at kate and kane for taking my gold hahaha, but please keep it coming with your ideas, its so cool. dude how about a champion like Lee pai long from shaman king?? this for starter skin and this type for second skin? if you get where im coming from? you could make this idea blossom :) could be like a lee sin counter :P iduno im still noob :D

lee pai long type champ !!! yes !

MercsGuardian2 votes

...ok, this is an excellent concept, but this is very...uh, different to say the least. The rest of the crew looks fine and works in the game, but this pair...I'm not liking it, but if Riot were to go with in, there would be some major changes.

The Neverworld1 votes
  1. We need pirates
  2. We need a twin champion

1+1 = Two in one.

Sure it's not easy to bring it up ingame, but you could say the same about Zed who coexists with his shadows.

Nice

Since its base off of Dante, I immediately thought of this http://dantewontdie.deviantart.com/art/Witch-and-Devil-191863007

You mean a couple skin? Kate as Bayonetta, Kane as Dante? Yeah that's awesome!

I'll add this!
