[Champion concept, could use some art!] Ampere- The electromancer
ROLE - Ampere is a powerful magic caster that relies on strategic placement of his Transistors to make maximum use of his abilities. He can excel in a solo lane setting with his powerful magical abilities and his excellent ability power scale. Alternatively, his passive slow with his attacks and vision granted by casting his spells on his Transistors give him amazing support potential.
> LORE - From a young age Ampere had always had an obsessive personality. He latched onto any that caught his interest and put forth his best effort to master it. So it was no surprise that after being struck by lightning at a young age he took great interest in the study of electricity.
> His inventions and progressive discoveries in his teenage years caused many in his small rural hometown a great deal of distress. They soon banished him from their town out of fear. Roaming alone with nothing but his inventions and ideas he soon came upon the fantastic city of Piltover, where his intellect and discoveries were cherished and celebrated. He quickly mastered his craft and wanted to push his electrical prowess to the ultimate test, the League of Legends.
Appearance and personality - Ampere is a slender youthful looking young man with a crazed look in his eye. Highly energetic and cocky, he fears almost nothing and will take on almost any opponent on with full confidence. He sports a large battery terminal on his back and has wires that run to his gauntlets and metal boots. He wields a large lightning rod as a spear which he channels his spells and attack through.
> Abilities - Ampere's abilities are primarily ability power based which makes him an excellent mage or support. All of his spells and basic attacks must utilize his Transistors to gain maximum effect.
RESISTOR (Passive) Ampere's basic attacks apply a 5% slow on hit and his abilities apply a 10% slow when they damage an enemy. These slows accumulates to a maximum of 15% (+2.05% each level to a maximum of 50% at level 18) and decay at a rate of 10% per second.
ELECTRON BOLT (Q) Ampere fires a powerful electric arc in front of him in a straight line, dealing 80/120/160/200/240 (+50% AP) magic damage to all enemies struck. If a Transistor is struck it will conduct to the next nearest Transistor dealing 25% less damage. This will continue and prioritize Transistors until there are no more Transistors in range, at which it will target the nearest enemy (priority is champions). Any Transistor stuck will remain charged for 4 seconds.
Damage - 80/120/160/200/240 (+50% Ability power)
Charged Duration - 4 seconds
Mana Cost - 80/90/100/110/120
Cooldown - 10 seconds (at all levels)
Range - 650
TRANSISTOR (W) Ampere throws a Transistor rod at a target location dealing 80/100/120/140/160 (+30% AD) physical damage in a small area. Transistors have 150/200/250/300/350 (+15% Ampere's Max health) health. When a Transistor is struck by an ability they become Charged for a brief period of time. While any Transistor is Charged they grant vision in a small area around them. Additionally while charged Transistors cannot channel any attacks or abilities. Ampere can also channel basic attacks through his Transistors. If Ampere attacks a Transistor with a basic attack if will then attack the nearest enemy dealing 35% less damage. Every few seconds Ampere will store a Transistor. The maximum number of Transistors stored and on the field increase every level.
Damage - 40/60/80/100/120 (+20% AD) Maximum number of Transistors stored/ on field - 1/2/3/4/5 Cooldown - 19/18/17/16/15 ( 1 second cooldown on cast) Damage Radius - 100 Sight Radius while charged - 150 Range - 700 Mana cost - 35/40/45/50/55
Overvoltage (E) On Enemy Cast - Overvoltage deals 60/90/120/150/180 (+40% AP) magic damage to target enemy
On Transistor Cast - Overvoltage deals 80/120/160/200/240 (+45% AP) magic damage in a small radius around target Transistor over a period of 4 seconds. If any Transistor is in the radius while Overvoltage is active it will conduct to that Transistor and deal 35% less damage over a period of 4 seconds. Any Transistors struck with Overvoltage will be charged for 8 seconds.
Overvoltage will charge and Transistor stuck for 8 seconds.
Damage - on enemy 60/90/120/150 (+40% AD) on transistor 80/120/160/200/240 (+45% AP) over 4 seconds
Cooldown - 14 seconds (at all levels) Charge time - 8 seconds Damage radius while active on a Transistor - 150 Range - 650 Mana cost - 80/90/100/110/120
Super Conductor (R) Ampere unleashes a powerful torrent of electrical current from himself for 5 seconds. While Super Conductor is active Ampere fires a continuous line of electrical current to all nearby Transistors dealing 35/70/105 (+30% AP) magic damage every .5 seconds. Additionally any Transistors in range will also emit a powerful electrical field in a small radius around them dealing 20/35/50 (+15% AP) magic damage every second. Any Transistor effected by Ampere's Super Conductor will be charged for the duration it's effected and 4 seconds after.
Damage - electrical line 30/75/105 (+30% AP) every .5 seconds electrical pulse 20/35/50 (+15% AP) every second
Super Conductor Radius - 500 Electrical Pulse Radius - 100 Cooldown - 140/120/100 Charge Duration - the amount of time the Transistor is affected by Super Conductor and 4 seconds afterwards Mana Cost - 100/200/300
> Base Stats Ampere's base stats are on par with most magic casters. I based them around a mix of the stats of Brand and Malzahar.
> Movement Speed - 340 Basic Attack Range - 550 Attack Damage - 55 (2.5 per level) Attack Speed - 0.625 (1.35% per level) Health - 505 (+75 per level) HP regen - 5.5 (+0.55 per level) Mana - 325 (+50 per level) Mana Regen - 7 (+0.5 per level) Armor - 25 (+2.5 per level) Magic Resist - 30 (+0 per level)
Skin Ideas Unfortunately I am no artist (although if anyone is interested in submitting so art I would be greatly appreciative!) but I do have several ideas for some skin concepts for the champion.
High Voltage Ampere - This could be some sort of Rock and roll themed skin where he wields a microphone or guitar rather then a lightning rod and perhaps has a large speaker on his back rather then a battery.
Amperenstein - This would be an excellent Halloween skin for him. He could be based around the Frankenstein monster (a more comical version of course) where he has large bolts coming out of his neck and his lightning becomes green or gives off a green aura.
> Emotes Given Ampere's energetic and confident personality i have come up with some emotes he could use during the game.
- Taunt - (Ampere generates a large amount of electricity around his body from his battery terminal) "You're about to make a shocking discovery!"
- Joke - (Ampere sets his battery terminal on the ground and begins connecting wires to it) "alright so positive to positive, negative to ground... (Then it would comically shock him and reveal flashes of his skeleton)
- Dance - I was thinking of having him do the electric slide Other Dialog
- Time to bolt!
- I'll be there lightning fast!
- I'm back and fully charged! (possibly on spawn or teleport)
- Light em up! (when ampere charges a Transistor)
Suggested Items So given Ampere's ability to either be a powerful AP mage or a great support I have created a small list of some recommended items that he could effectively use in either role
AP MAGE
the magic penetration would do incredibly well for all of his spells
His passive would make the burn effect on this very potent, that plus the additional HP and magic penetration make this item perfect for him
Using this item during his ultimate would prove to be quite powerful. The high ability power would boost his abilities quite a bit plus if you end up amidst a team fight and enter stasis while ulting you can effectively damage and slow their team while taking no damage yourself.
The additional magic penetration on this would further increase the effectiveness of his Q at long ranges where it is weakest
The high ability power makes his abilities pack more of a punch and the magic resist reduction would have a great impact on his ult.
The massive ability power boost is always welcome
The ability power on this is always a plus but the bonus health is really where the strength of this item lies. Ampere will need a higher health to make his Transistors last longer and to allow his to fully channel his ultimate.
SUPPORT
Ampere lacks high mobility so he will need the boost granted by these boots to make sure he can effectively maneuver in lane and quickly return to lane
This item isn't needed immediately because of his vision granted by the Transistors. However to make for a safer laning and grant longer vision you will need wards. the bonus HP is always great and Transistor health increases with your own HP as well.
The bonus gold from abilities and auto attacks is perfect for him. Especially since he can poke safely and chain his spells to hit multiple opponents it makes for easy money.
This one is a bit tricky. The bonus HP is very nice of course but the active is really its strength. activating it just before charging into a team fight then ulting would allow your team to be incredibly mobile compared to the enemy team. and when the slow radius goes off it would combine with your passive slow to really put enemies in a difficult spot
Using this item during his ultimate would prove to be quite powerful. The high ability power would boost his abilities quite a bit plus if you end up amidst a team fight and enter stasis while ulting you can effectively damage and slow their team while taking no damage yourself.
Usisng this while ulting in a team fight could be incredibly powerful. Enemies would be slowed from your passive and your allies would now have a shield to help flee or engage them. That plus the HP and CDR is great to have.
> Summoner Spells
Some summoner spells i suggest are below
For increased battlefield mobility and the possibly of a well timed flash-ult
Teleporting to a Transistor makes it easy to maneuver around the battlefield
Using this just after an ult or during and ult makes it great to continue fighting or hastens your retreat.
Thanks for reading my latest champion submission to League of Legends! Please feel free to comment and put any ideas or suggestions you have down and I will look at it and respond when possible. I would love it if anyone could provide any form of art for him! I'm really looking to bring him to life! Also If you like the concept feel free to bump it and hopefully my champion will be the next fan made champion to make it into the League of Legends!
