[1st] Foreword

"Ario, the forgotten Librarian" is my 2nd champion concept. The starting idea was 'a champion that can be up to any situation without getting too strong'. This evolved into the final concept, which I like to define as following: 'a champion that starts out as a jack of all trades and turns by specialization into a master of a certain type'. This can be hardly achieved with only 4 skills and even the 7 of most shapeshifting champions seemed too less. So he has 10 skills in 1 form and requires in exchange a player, that can evaluate the situation and make the right decisions.

When Ario deals a killing blow to a target he gains a certain number of "Whispering Knowledge"-stacks.

R - Wonderland, the Vellum-bound World

Ario releases the seal of the book "Wonderland" and forces an enemy champion alongside himself into the world of the book. During this time units that aren't afflicted by this skill can't attack or influence (slow, stun, root, etc.) Ario or the afflicted enemy champion and they can't attack or influence units that aren't afflicted and ignore unit collision with them (but not with each other). Ario gains sight of the afflicted enemy champion for the entire duration of the skill. The effect of the skill gets canceled prematurely, if the afflicted enemy champion gains a distance of 1500 to Ario or one of the 2 units receives a killing blow.

[4th] Comments

• I imagine Ario to be played as a Tank, Fighter or Assassin. Which role he takes is highly determined by the items he buys.
• I consider his Difficulty as 10, as the player needs to plan in the 1 second delay of his E and determine the value of his mana expenses and cooldown of his W to play him effectively.
• The names of his Q-, W- and E-skills come from different languages. The names of his W are Irish, while his Q is romanized Armenian and his E is romanized Traditional Chinese.
