(Champion Idea) Marko the Grand Sheild

Aegis Angel·12/9/2013, 3:27:37 AM·1 votes·1,090 views

Imagine a big hulking knight. Silver armor covering his entire body but instead of a great sword he holds two tower shields. His basic attack is him punching people with his shields. His name and some of his powers are derived from the Juggernaut of Marvel Comics

Type: Tank (duh) Resource: No clue

Passive: Protection

Takes 75% damage when attacked from the front and 125% damage when attacked from behind (Attacks that hit splash damage depend on where the epicenter of the attack was)

First Ability: Side step

Jumps in direction but stays facing his original direction

Second Ability: Of Glory

Charges forward with his shields in place and knocks all opponents he hits back.

Third Ability: Dont you know?

Throws a shield at an enemy and catches it on return

Ultimate: Who I am!

Ignores all stuns and damage for some time and may use Of Glory as often as he hits an enemy for that time. Of Glory during this time has increased knock back (think tristania Buster shot knock back. Not something you can hit the enemy with rapidity with this should fix most gripes about his ult that were here before)

I like the initial concept, but needs a lot of re-work befoe becoming Viable, - (BTW i did this in a DnD campain with a Dwarf)

I love the idea of a champ with two shields. This needs to be a thing in LoL.

His ult though is extremely strong. He can basically push their entire team into a friendly turret, or out of the dragon/Baron pit, or into Amumu/Galio/other big AoE ult, etc. And he gets to be invincible while doing it. Of Glory is fine by itself, but the ult makes it too much.

The rest of the kit seems to work well though. He's basically punished for not facing his enemies, which means he needs to be in battle constantly. Maybe you should toy with a skill that makes him face in a determined direction for some period of time, so that he can strafe left and right to block projectiles for his allies while taking half damage? Half damage might be a bit too much, by the way.

If you're looking to make a lore for him, this champ seems right at home with Pantheon on Mount Targon.

I agree that the ult is a bit much but he sounds wicked!

I definitely like the idea of a two shielded monster protecting the team and causing massive damage, but the ult as a few others have said is pretty OP. Perhaps maybe Of Glory could be on a reduced cooldown during his ult? So he can still in a sense spam it but not have the kinda of force he would if he could use it all the time. Also the removing of all stuns, debuffs etc is pretty much exactly like olafs Ragnarok(except the no damage portion) so maybe change it to say Marko strengthens his resolve increasing both his armor and magic resist and reducing the durations of stuns and debuffs, but decreasing his movement speed greatly. This way he can become an super tank and protect his team from the enemy with his tankiness and Of Glory charge possibly using this to tank turrets and other objectives. He could be kinda like the phalanx that the Romans used during their battles. Again this is just an idea, but I like the champion!

The amount of time he is unstoppable with his ult would be short. And yes I know half is quite large however it is very difficult to keep your champion facing the front at all times. In fighting him flanking him would be essential. Another option that I just thought of for his first is Side Step: A Skill Shot where he moves in that direction without changing the direction he is facing.

Also to fix the passive he takes half damage from the front and double damage from behind. Then he truly can never retreat.
