[Champion Concept] Adyn, The Tainted Flame

Sir ArmaMalum·Jun 30, 2014·1 votes·388 views

######Well guys, you’ll be seeing much more of me in Fan Creations for a little bit, as my next [Guide] will be on creating and formatting a Champion Concept. Naturally, I can’t do that in good conscious without putting my own work out as well as experimenting on numerous fronts. This one a select few may remember, I brought him out many months ago. Tell me what you think! No, seriously, rip this thing apart. This is my 3rd edit/post to this guy.

Brief Summary This champion is a mage with a bit of de-buff on the side, flinging fire every which way. I wanted to make a dragon-related nemesis for Shyvana and got the idea of bringing back the dragon she killed in her lore with J4. Very combo reliant he features nothing but skillshots and ranged AoE, as well as a minion ultimate. Long cooldowns and a lot of power locked into his ult, but used right his ult can not only scare the crap out of the enemy team, but can seriously profit from damn good multitasking. Manaless by the way. Unique Mechanics: Penetrating Base MR shred effect, DoT consumption for a silence, minion ult duration dependent on spell synergy, rage based mage.

#Adyn – The Tainted Flame
Roles- Mage, Ranged

#####Lore
“We fight each other with every breath, our only respite is when we have a common enemy”
-Adyn

Adyn was a name that was whispered in Zuan, with a healthy mix of fear and respect. He was regarded as one Zuan’s best necromancers, and also one of the most eccentric. Many times his beats of bone and dark magic have been seen rampaging around his grounds, miles away from the nearest inhabited building. But what the citizens of Zuan truly feared wasn’t Adyn’s power, it was his knowledge. While his consult had made the Urgot and Sion projects possible, his own creations were not meant for battle. They were meant for the telling of secrets. Which is why Adyn couldn’t resist the opportunity Zuan presented him, the decaying body of a dragon that had fought with the Prince of Damacia and his chief guard Shyvana.

The dragon, Kestrul, hated humanity more than any drake before him. The destruction the Rune Wars wrought completely destroyed the Obsidian Brood, save for him. He spent decades burning every human he could find, razing entire villages to the ground. Revenge eventually kindled into cold hatred, and as the last of his kind he vowed to deny any redeeming value of any human. Or even half-human. The fact that he was killed by men and his quarry, the half dragon Shyvana, only served to reignite his hatred. No one knew this better than Adyn, as he received the full-brunt of that malice the second he made contact with Kestrul’s spirit. Adyn was a powerful mage in his own right, however, and the resulting battle of wills would have been seen from miles away, if it was within the realm of the living. But this bought was fought purely in the gray between life and death, and Kestrul threatened to bring Adyn down. In desperation, Adyn linked his soul with Kestrul’s. Forcing Kestrul to also kill himself if he should kill Adyn. Now, Adyn is trapped with the one dead spirit that will tell him nothing and Kestrul is trapped with the thing he hates the most. Only the Institute of War holds something for the both of them. The possibility of freedom and the another target of Kestrul’s fury, the abomination who tore his heart out, Shyvana.

#####Description
Stereotypical not-old mage in black robes. The robes are covered ornately with dragon bones, with the head of said dragon making an effective shoulder piece. The Dragon skull has an eerie light coming out of the sockets. It looks like it isn't set in place, like it could move if it so happened to want to. Any conjured flame he has is the normal bright scarlet, but has constant traces of black streaks to echo the necromancy involved in its existence. Possible scarred face from explosion.

Passive
Anger’s flame – The next auto attack used when above 20 Rage adds (Rage spent) + (0.2 AP) magic damage.

Burstier version of Orianna passive that is managed similar to Renekton’s.

Q-Crippling Wake http://i.imgur.com/KIg8cdz.jpg?1
Damage: 80/120/160/200/240 + (0.5 AP) Range: 900 Width: Thin Fires two thin lines of fire from either side of Adyn, using the targeted location as a convergence point. Enemies hit by both lines take 50% damage from the second line but are also slowed by (20/25/30/35/40)%.

An effective clone of Aatrox's E with reduced range, unreliable slow, but higher damage. Intended to be a semi-effective poke with a bit of utility if used right.

Cooldown: 8 sec

W-Molten Impact http://i.imgur.com/yhojtco.jpg?1
Damage: 50/70/90/110/130 + (0.2 AP) Cast Range: 600 AOE radius: 500 Adyn summons a column a flame that expands in bursts. Enemies hit will get a mark (Combustion) that deals (25/45/65/85/105) + (0.3 AP) damage over 4 sec. Any additional ~~spell~~ magic damage dealt by Adyn that hits a marked target will consume the mark, taking off the DoT but silencing the target for (1.25?) seconds.

Think of it like Nautalis E, with more range, more AOE but also more wave increments (about 5?) to give additional dodge time. Intended for low damage but HIGH AOE to give the option to slightly increase burst from other spells with Combustion, including his aa passive. The trade for the silence is you no longer get the DoT, but played well and the silence can be used near the end of the DoT to optimize damage. This being his longest effective ranged spell, I didn’t want to put too much initial damage on it, as he is manaless. But all of his other spells have travel time, so timed right you can still get great trading out before any enemy burst. But it’ll be tough.

Cooldown-17/16/15/14/13 sec

E-Arcane Breath http://i.imgur.com/DVuCWwP.jpg?1
Damage: 60/110/160/210/260 + (0.8 AP) Range: 925
Adyn throws an arcane infused dragon’s breath in a line, Damaging the first target it contacts. Removes 10/13/15/17/20 Magic Resistance on hit for 3 secs, the MR shred pierces for the full range.

Skillshot. Use normally for decent damage, use the MR shred to set-up a teamfight nicely. Keep in mind if the shred effect hits Kestrul that also gives him energy. Also might (very intentionally) be copying old Shyvana E.

Cooldown: 10/9/8/7/6 sec

R-Animate Kestrul
Damage (Impact): 200/250/300+(0.8AP) Damage (Trail): 40+(0.3AP)/sec Range: 1000
After channeling for 1 sec, Adyn summons up the remains of Kestrul that he wears. Kestrul flies in (Think Shyvana ult), pushing everyone in his path back. Kestrul remains on the field for however long he has energy or until killed. Kestrul leaves a burning trail in his wake, dealing magic damage. Also, his auto attacks reduce the cooldown of Adyn’s spells by 1 sec. Any of Adyn’s spells that hit Kestrul give Kestrul 20 Energy.

---------Kestrul Notes---------
Kestrul starts with (200/225/250) Energy when summoned, draining at 8/sec. His health and resistances are the same as Adyn’s +(50?) armor/MR. His attack speed is based off of Adyn's AP (A mechanic that I hope transitions well into S4 changes). Base AS is .625, bonus AS is (0.30 AP)%.

Kestrul's AD is (80/90/100)and his base MS is 340. 1/2 of Adyn's bonus MS is applies to Kestrul.

A ‘tether’ will visually connect Kestrul and Adyn at all times, meaning if you use this over a wall the enemy team will still know exactly where Adyn is. Same ult minion rules as Tibbers, if Kestrul is killed he goes away, if Adyn is killed Kestrul also goes away.

Cooldown: 150/130/110 sec

Joke options
Note: Two VAs means a whole other realm of really bad or really good jokes.

Kestrul: (Sarcastic) Oh look, the summoner is asking us for a joke, isn’t that cute?
Adyn: Well you don’t have to be so Smaug about it.
-Audible smack from Kestrul-
Adyn: Ow!
-Kestrul starts lightly beating on Adyn-
Kestrul: Stop hitting yourself -smack- stop hitting yourself -smack-
–Looks around suspiciously-
Kestrul: I swear….this is the last time….
-Kestrul and Adyn give each other a high five-

Taunt Options

Adyn: One of the few things we can agree on!
-Lights fire in hand-
Both: Too easy.
Adyn: Come back soon…
-Lights fire in hand-
Kestrul: the flames are always hungry.

P.S. After many, MANY attempts to draw I have reaffirmed my complete lack of drawing skill. So, sadly, no art beyond the crappy skill art :(

That also leads into my next bit about the passive, the intention was to have some form of daamge during the huge 5-6 second downtime window in his early game, and then transitioning into a cool combo-maker later game (as the threshold would be broken in <4 secs from 0). But that still kinda relies on the cooldowns being almsot absurdly long, which what I'm taking from your reaction is they're not.

As for the Q, I'll be honest I've always floundered at trying to make it fit, so changing it up would be perfectly fine with me. My thinking was to have some form of travel time on the spell, so you could net some nice timing with the W and Passive. And some small amount of cc possibly. Maybe something like a left-right sweep maybe? I'm open to more ideas! (Although I'd like to keep the mark on W because then you can get the mark on multiple people)

Double thanks for reading and feedback!
