Are there any champions with a stagger effect to damage?

Similar to death's dance in taking some of the damage initially and the rest over time?

Going to use Gragas as my example.

Gragas uses W which causes him to stagger 50% of all damage he takes over 5 seconds. If somebody hits him with an ability that deals 500 damage, Gragas takes 250 damage initially and 250 damage over 5 seconds(50 damage every second).

I play WoW and there is a tank spec called brewmaster that has a similar mechanic in staggering damage they take over time. I was thinking a similar mechanic for a tank steroid would be kinda cool.

Or maybe it could be used for a melee adc in where they activate this as their ultimate and instead of staggering damage, they go into a sort of negative health while unable to die but every damage they do "heals" the negative health on a 1:1 ratio. So if the champion has over 5000 negative health but they do 500 damage every auto, they remove 500 negative health with each auto. If they get rid of the negative health by the time the ult ends they heal up or something.

OK so... That sounds amazing.

It is a unique champion design and ALTHOUGH we already have some balance champions....

I main ADC and would absolutely love a balance version of Tryndamere's Undying Rage although it may be a LITTLE unbalanced and I know this wasn't the main point of your post

I think you missed the 'melee' part of the 'melee adc' he described.

Tahm Kench is the only thing remotely close to that currently.

PS: If you note, this is a 'Zombie' like effect, and there aren't really any ADCs with anything similar to this effect. Buffing Death's Dance put this into the hands of every AD champ, so I think this is something they want you to have to actively pick up, not just have by virtue of what champ you pick, since AD Carries are basically always the priority target.

Maybe a melee adc would like this =)?

Doesn't Graga's W just give him Damage Reduction?

and an aoe %of max hp magic damage which surprisingly isn't much

Ya I knew that, I just meant for his Dmg reduction% part lol. It doesn't cause him to take 50% of the damage now then the other half over time.

eh it's only 18% at max rank but no bleed effect

Yes it does, I was just using his W as an example of it being a stagger instead of damage reduction.

Something about being drunk and slowly realizing the damage being done to you
