Champion Concept: Cigar, The Graves Bane

Cigar is a tanky melee ranged dps support assassin with mage-like tanking capabilities. With his unique "catch the potatoe" playstyle, Cigar will appeal to aggressively passive support mains as well as passively aggressive everyone else mains while frustrating at least someone who doesn't main Teemo, Yasuo, and Soraka on separate accounts they play at the same time on different computers because 'lel mechanics.' And also to people who don't enjoy playing the game, but enjoys people enjoying the game even less.

Cigar's abilities are as follows:

Passive: Cancer Upon entering the game, all-chat is automatically enabled for all players regardless of personal chat options and chat restrictions. At the end of every message typed by any player, "but Graves can't have a cigar" is added. If a player feeds out of frustration, Cigar gains 5/10/15% bonus everything based on level. If an enemy player afk's, Cigar gains 15% global damage. If an ally player afk's, Cigar takes 15% reduced damage for the rest of the game. Yes, these bonuses stack and cannot be lost.

Q: Coffin Nail Cigar passes himself to target ally or enemy champion and becomes untargetable. The target loses 1% HP per second and cannot regain health for the duration of the ability, but receives a multiplicative stacking -20% death timer buff. This is so they can die faster.

W: Chain Smoking Cigar leaps from either friend to foe or foe to friend, depending on the last champion Cigar has used "Coffin Nail" on. The target loses 10% MS permanently due to the spread of contagious diseases, but has a 40% chance of gaining the "OTP" debuff against the previous target. This chance is doubled for slash pairings. OTP champions cannot damage each other, but can defect to their lover's team at the cost of LP in an act of pure love and sacrifice.

E: Three-Hit Dash Mechanic Since it's mandatory for new champions to have a three hit mechanic and/or a dash or five, we decided to give Cigar both. Cigar can dash an upward of three times, applying his current "Cancer" buff to the first enemy or ally champion contact is made with. If three champions are hit in succession, Cigar deals 10/20/40/60/420 true damage to each champion because smoking is bad.

R: Competitive Vaping Yes, apparently that is a thing. Sadly. Upon activation of his ultimate, every champion in the game realizes their lifestyles are unhealthy and take a brief fifteen minute break for a competitive vaping competition using the pot (er, the betting pool) as a gift to charities fighting against smoking. Also, every player's client (except Cigar's) is closed and their computers are immediately assaulted by fifteen hundred memes featuring Graves, Yorick, and barely SFW fanart featuring the two. They may rejoin the game upon closing every window. Cigar's AS and MS is reduced to .001 and 1 respectively, and is free to push mid as he pleases. Let the race begin.

Recommended rolls: sweet, preferably. Hawaiian is also good.

tl;dr: I had too much time on my hands.
