Thoughts on Satan

Chuck Charles··2 votes·501 views

TLDR = Move Shrooms to W (less dmg), W active to E, and make a new ulti. able to move for 2-3 seconds from passive before breaking stealth.

So we all know how annoying Satan can be in League of Legends and for the longest time he's been nothing more than a gimmicky melee top counterpick who doesn't offer much to this team if he doesn't get really far ahead. His kit is very simplistic and while he is annoying, I feel more of the fact that his kit offers him little to no outplay potential is pretty boring.

Now, these are my personal thoughts. A lot of people enjoy flirting with the dark side and play Satan. They have fun with him, and I can respect that. I have let Satan into my life from time to time so I won't criticize if you feel differently than I do.

What I feel Satan could use though is a minor rework that allows him some more outplay potential than his current kit. Here is what I think can be done:

Move his shrooms from Ultimate, to W. Make the recharge time significantly shorter, the duration they last slightly longer, but the damage significantly reduced. I feel shrooms are more of a slow and annoyance utility for Satan than relying on them to singlehandedly melt people. Sure, its funny when a squishy walks over a shroom for 25-40% of their life, but lets be real. other than the occasional "LOL" moment the shrooms don't really do what they could. I still think this is a core part of Satan being Satan so they should never ever be removed, but by moving them to his W you open him up to have a REAL ultimate. As I said, I think him having more shrooms would make him even more annoying, but in a good way as it offers him a lot of utility. And since they wouldn't be doing as much damage, it would be justified in my opinion.

Make the Q a longer range, linear, colliding skill shot that can only hit champions. This way our good ole pal Satan can still hit champions through minion waves, but has to actually land it to be rewarded. the range could be extended to compensate for the fact that its a skill shot as well giving Satan more space to work with.

Move his W active, to his E. E already does nothing other than empower his auto attacks, so giving him the move quick still as an active is fine. he would lose the W passive permanently as free mobi boots are not something I feel is a core identity of Satan.

new passive: when standing still for 2 seconds goes into stealth, 1 second in bush. When in bush, can no longer perma stealth, but instead no matter where he is stealth has 2/2.5/3 seconds of movement after stealth before breaking stealth. Obviously as with any stealth, he can end this early if he takes action. I feel this would give Satan some cool outplay potential. And instead of giving him a massive attack speed buff, I would prefer if it gave him a next attack on hit effect like an empowered auto similar to lich bane/runeglaive.

that said, I have been thinking long and hard about what his new ultimate would be and I can't think of anything in particular. So my question to you here on G&B is what do you feel makes Satan who he is? What is his identity? What kind of ultimate would you give him? Are my ideas "ass" and "garbage"? Maybe! feel free to downvote away and explain why in the comments. I won't hate. Just had this on my mind for awhile now and feel like a conversation with other league peeps ^.^

needs tl;dr, I didn't read, but teemo already had a rework on his passive and ulti but teemo is already have decent, just build him as a TANK!!!! Build liandries and frozen heart for the mana - cdr - armor. A straight tank teemo can take down adcs and shred tanks.

As a teemo main myself this sounds like a good plan, but there are a few things lacking in the kit of the underlord. His w should be more burst but less duration (how often is this really gonna save you when champs like Elise Riven Yasuo Khazix and friends exist. The w could be "Engulf" Teemo eats one of his shrooms (yes the count would go down) and he gains a 55 percent movement increase for 3 seconds.

As for his ultimate R "Greed (or cancer)" Teemo devours all of his shrooms emmiting toxicity in a range around him, he gains bonus magic resist and armor and his attack speed is increased by 35 percent.
