[Champion Concept] Genesis The Ethereal Blade

Stephenizgod·6/17/2014, 9:23:27 AM·2 votes·539 views

So i made a champion design and didnt give them a name or story because im lazy but ive decided to give them an identity. Here is the original post:http://community.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/fancreations/kNvqTUkE-champion-concept-the-plasma-blade (im still not good with ratios and all that stuff so if anyone wants to help out just comment below)

Genesis has a medium build, about the same as Draven or Lucian. He wears a long frayed hooded black robe, the right sleeve is burned completely off and is constantly smoking. Underneath the robe he wears a weird ancient armor. He walks with a sort of dizzy disoriented stride as he is constantly fighting with his shattered mind and broken consciousness. His right arm glows brightly as if on a spectral fire similar to Hecarim or Thresh, where his hand is is a longsword that glows with the same spectral fire. He has long black hair hanging in front of his face and bright green eyes that shift shades like fire.

LORE

Genesis has no home, no family, no friends, and no memories. His only intact memories are his name (or what he thinks is his name) and of him stumbling away from the Shadow Isles as fast as he could. What little is left of his memories from his life before the Shadow Isles is fragmented and cloudy, a child with no face, a large writhing shadow, a bright flash, and extreme heat flowing into his body from his right hand, then darkness. The next thing he knew he was on the edges of the Shadow Isles and it felt like something was pulling and tugging on what remained of his soul, scared and disoriented he crawled his way out and left in the first direction he saw. He traveled for many days across various lands not knowing where to go or where he was. Every once in awhile he would awake to find himself standing in an area different then where he was when he was conscious, the ground covered in scorched earth with smoking gashes. After walking for what to him seemed like several days but in actuality had been several weeks, for he had lost all track of time, he came upon a campfire and sitting around it were three men, who were talking about a town they just pillaged and the loot they gained. Too tired to be wary of the men he dizzily walked into their camp to ask for water, when suddenly his vision started to spin and fade. The next thing he knew he was standing in the middle of a what looked like a battle ground, the three men were sprawled out and dead, smoke rising from glowing sword wounds, the ground around him was covered in the same scars he was accustomed to seeing every time he awoke from his blackouts. Very confused, Genesis looked around for the perpetrator and it was only then he noticed the heat on his hand and the presence in his mind. Looking at his hand he saw the most beautiful blade ever made, it looked like lava one second and the next it was like smoke, it seemed to have no form, so fragile a gust of wind might blow it away and yet it gave the impression of being the sharpest blade in all of existence. It was perfection. For some reason he felt a sort of connection to the blade, as if it was not his first time using it. His mind still wandering he felt a ripple go from his mind down to his arm and finally into the blade, once the ripples were gone it was no longer a sword but a large lance-like weapon, just as beautiful and powerful looking as the sword and just as familiar. Recognizing the armor of the men, oddly similar to his own, and the landscape he realized he was deep into Noxus, unsure of why he knew this he decided it would be best to leave before someone found him. Not sure of where to go he set off to find who he was, why he recognized the land and wore similar armor to the Noxian men, what the ethereal blade attached to his arm was, where it came from, and why he felt this odd familiarity and love towards it almost like a parent to a child...

Ill work more on the Lore but this is basically his story.

ABILITIES

PASSIVE Ethreal Flames: Every time Genesis deals damage to an enemy their wounds burn for 3 seconds dealing magic damage, any consecutive hits on the target deal bonus damage. Bonus Damage stops stacking after 3 hits (Consecutive hits do not stack only refresh the timer)

Q Spirit Lance: Genesis stabs the Ethereal Blade forward turning it into a lance and damaging all enemies in a line. Each enemy it goes through reduces the damage slightly. Additionally, if the first enemy you hit is a minion it is launched forward and the first thing it hits is slowed by 20% for 1.5 seconds. If the first enemy you hit is an enemy Champion they are silenced for .75 seconds and grievous wounds is applied. Damage: Medium-High scaling would be around a 0.5-0.6 AD ratio, the pushed minion does Low damage upon impact.

W Burning Hook: Genesis swings The Ethereal Blade turning it into a sickle and chain and slamming it down in targeted area. If the area is terrain, a minion, or neutral monster reactivating the skill within 2.5 seconds will pull Genesis to that location. If the sickle hits an enemy champion they are rooted for 1.5 seconds, Genesis then retracts the sickle damaging the enemy again. Damage: Medium-Low but it hits twice. The damage scales with AP around 0.6ish, the root scales with AP around 0.3ish AP.

E Flaring Soul: Genesis allows the Blade to consume his entire arm increasing his damage to true damage for 3 hits and turning it into a whip like blade increasing his attack range, it also causes his passive to burn twice as strong doubling the damage and decreasing the burn time to 1 second. Genesis takes constant magic damage for the duration of this spell, until either all 3 hits are used or the time runs out. (Each point into his E increases the attack range of his blade) Damage: Potential to be High; the true damage would be based off max level and AD.

R Consuming Rage: Genesis feeds the souls of his enemies to the Ethereal Blade causing it to flare with extreme power. If activated it will turn into a large cleaver that he swings in an arc in front of him cleaving all enemies in its path. Killing an enemy champion adds a stack of bonus damage to the ultimate which is consumed upon use, when consumed his cooldown is reduced. Killing multiple enemies with his ultimate reduces the cooldown for each enemy killed (Max 5 times). There is no maximum amount of stacks he can get for bonus damage. Damage: Medium but having more stacks increases it infinitely until used. Has low base damage but scales around 1.1-1.2 AD.

The main idea behind Genesis is this morphing play style, that can be used differently depending on the situation and your own play style. All his abilities can be used differently whether to fit the current situation or if you like using it a certain way better, that way when two people pick Genesis and go up against each other they can almost be like two different champions. I see him more as a Top, because thats my favorite lane but he would definitely fit every lane. He has range and mobility which will make him a good Mid, he has great potential as a Support or even ADC if you can make it work. For the most part i see him as a Top or Jungle though, his kit definitely works for ganking lanes and traversing the jungle quickly.

Im sure his Ultimate might be a bit confusing so ill explain that - basically once you have your ultimate any kill not using your ultimate adds a stack to the ultimate, each stack adds bonus damage to the next time you use it. You use ALL stacks when you ultimate, they also reduce the cooldown up to a maximum of 5 stacks. The ultimate does low base damage without stacks and is more of an execute similar to Garen's. There is no limit to the number of stacks for bonus damage, but 75% of them are lost each time you die (so someone going 10/0 will have 10 stacks on his ultimate and you should probably run) His E acts similar to sword of the divine or Irelia, the next three hits will deal true damage, but they also double the damage of his passive in half the time so if you time it correctly the damage output of those three hits will be incredible, but time it wrong and you wasted a chance of doing huge damage, he also takes a percentage of the damage he deals as true damage so there is a risk. The range increase is only for those 3 hits and their max range is the same as Kayle's E. I think the other 2 skills are self-explanatory, his Q is a simple stab and his W works like Nautilus's anchor unless you hit a champion, in that case they are rooted and you are free to move. It is a skill shot obviously.

How i would use him would be to activate my E, use my W to launch myself behind them, use Q to silence them and applying grievous wounds, then attacking them once every second so as to maximize full damage from the passive, if they dont quite die then finish them with ultimate, but hopefully the passive and ignite will finish them off.

Well I'm entirely open to discussion and constructive criticism, if you think of something better then i did that you think fits TELL ME and i will seriously consider changing it and obviously give you due credit.

You could indicate the damage they would deal by saying High, Medium, or Low to clarify what the abilities intended usage is as a role is, it would also be useful if you could put what his abilities cost, Hp? Mana? Energy? Etc.

ATM i see him as a High Risk/ High Reward champion with all-in capability but massive backfire if used improperly, the True damage E MIGHT make him overpowered, depending on how much of the extra damage he deals is bounced back, and even then lifesteal might be able to counter it.

Overall, i think some of his mechanics should be tweaked and clarified to better show what you intend him to be.

Ohk, so looked at the clarification, he is ridiculously high burst-damage.

He can instakill people with only 200-300 damage, so like one item 3071 and a item 3074 then naught but tanky items will make him nearly impossible to defeat.

This is mostly due to the REALLY high scaling, with 200 AD he can deal between 1 and 1.6 damage with abilities alone, who would survive if he started using his autoattacks?

Lower the base damage and scaling, and he'll be a glass-canon champion with good initiate but low escape and mobility.

The actual mechanics of the abilities are VERY good, and pretty unique, all that would need changing is the numbers.

Hmmm... His Q seems a little wonky because it damages all enemies in the line, but has a random effect against what it hits first that doesn't really seem to fit in... His E dealing damage to himself is probably a bad thing because it makes no difference if he can burst his damage down quickly, but he could accidentally activate it and be stuck taking full damage if he can't deactivate it or find an enemy to hit. You might want to make it a toggle (and possibly move the damage to a certain amount each hit) or something. (Edit: I previously didn't notice that it eventually runs out of time, so this is mostly fixed, but it's still weird that you take more damage if you can't find someone to hit quickly.) His W is a little weird, but is very versatile and could work. His ult seems pretty good, but the stacking system doesn't seem very good. First off, you're hardly going to have any stacks because whenever you get a kill or assist, there's a good chance you used your ult to get it. You should probably be able to get stacks other ways. Also, it's a problem if you just save up your stacks until you have 10 or so and one-shot the enemy team; there should be a limit. The kill stacks on his ultimate also make him a feast-or-famine character where hit ult is useless if he's weak, but really powerful if he doesn't need it to be powerful. Additionally, it's very unlikely that you'll get multiple kills just with your ultimate, so you might say its cooldown is halved if you kill a single champion with it but cap it at that or something.

TL;DR: His Q is weird because the first target effect doesn't really fit in, his E is weird because of the self-DoT that's removed if you attack quickly enough, and the kill-stacking on his ultimate won't make much of a difference and is rather feast-or-famine.
