[CHAMPION CONCEPT] Windows 98, the Forgotten Hero

I came up with this idea at work! (Reposted here since the mods deleted the first one, despite many other parody concepts being posted in the Concepts board...)

Windows 98 is a melee tank support who specializes in crowd control and zoning techniques and heavily synergizes with cooldown reduction. Windows 98 has incredible AOE teamfight potential, but is gated by high base cooldowns.

#Lore:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damageecho to your computer.echo.echo The problem seems to be caused by the following file: SPCMDCON.SYSecho.echo PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREAecho.echo If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,echo restart your computer. If this screen appears again, followecho these steps:echo.echo Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.echo If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturerecho for any Windows updates you might need.echo.echo If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardwareecho or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.echo If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restartecho your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and thenecho select Safe Mode.echo.echo Technical information:echo.echo *** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFD3094C2,0x00000001,0xFBFE7617,0x00000000)echo.echo.echo *** SPCMDCON.SYS - Address FBFE7617 base at FBFE5000, DateStamp 3d6dd67cpause


#Abilities

Q: Load Time

  • Range: Global
  • Mana: 70/70/70/70/70
  • CD: 25/25/25/25/25 seconds

For the next 4/4.5/5/5.5/6 seconds, Windows 98 summons dial-up, preventing all players (excluding himself) from seeing any movement on Summoner's Rift or the mini-map over a 0.5 second burst. This effect refreshes every 1 second until the end of duration. Load Time does not affect actual movement.

W: Safe Mode

  • Range: 400 radius centered around Windows 98 (800 diameter)
  • Mana: 40/55/70/85/100
  • CD: 30/26/22/18/14

For 4/4.25/4.5/4.75/5 seconds, Windows 98 reboots the game into Safe Mode in order to load only the bare essentials to the game, temporarily removing all items, status effects, and scalings from all champions within range (excluding himself), forcing nearby champions to use only base damages for any auto attacks and abilites. Champions that walk out of range regain all items and stats.

E: Crash

  • Range: 150
  • Mana: 80/85/90/95/100
  • CD: 15/14/13/12/11/10

Windows 98 empowers his next auto attack, dealing a bonus 80/110/140/170/200(+1.0 AP) magic damage in an area of affect with a radius of 150 and slowing all units hit by 40% for 2 seconds. If the target is a champion, the target champion's inventory items are randomly rearranged.

R: Upgrade

  • Range: 500
  • Mana: 100
  • CD: 120/100/80

Windows 98 "upgrades" into Windows ME, dashing in a line, refreshing the cooldowns of Windows 98's basic spells and causing the next cast of each of Windows 98's spells to have an additional bonus.

Q: Time duration increased by 2 seconds W: Safe Mode grants allies +25 AD and +35 AP on top of their base stats for the duration E: Crash rearranges items of any champions within the AOE radius

Thoughts? Ideas? Who else misses the old days of 98? I know I do!

this champions is just stupid... in a good way. i love it. probably riot wont even consider the possiblity of this champion but it should totally at least use some of the abilities. load time and safe mode would be awesome in a champion like nocturne

The ultimate actually nerfs his own Q. If it refreshes every second, that means during the five seconds the enemy can only see their minimap for 2.5 seconds. With the ultimate, the load duration refreshes every two seconds, meaning the enemy can see their minimap for 4 seconds. Unless you mean the time of the loading is increased to 2.5 seconds.

Also, upgrade is already Heimerdinger's ultimate's name, so you're gonna want another one. Maybe overclock.

Ah, I see. I was actually referring to the process of overclocking a computer's processer, allowing it to run faster than it normally can.

It's funny cuz I play BTD5 and don't know about that. Probably cuz I don't use the engineer (I'll stick to my farms and super monkeys)

I think it just increases the ability duration - instead of lasting 4/4.5/5/5.5/6 seconds, the ulted q lasts 6/6.5/7/7.5/8 seconds. Unless I'm reading it wrong?

gl0hs0zgf1 votes

Ah, I hadn't considered that. That's a good one.

Hopefully will get reworked as XP. Vista is too troll. And Windows 8 rerolls your Q and R to be taken at random from DotA2 characters.

Always wait for a rework or two (i.e. service packs). It'll finally be in a good spot by then.

Windows 98 was the first system I played command and conquer on. Man this brings back memories.

Passive Spam

Every 30 seconds, Windows 98 generates a stack of Spam up to a maximum of 6 stacks. While Windows 98 has at least one stack of Spam, enemies who deal damage to Windows 98 with abilities have a portion of their screen be covered by a pop up which can overlay the HUD for up to 10 seconds. If the enemy exits out of the pop up, the effect ends early. Enemies may be affected by Pop Up multiple times at once.
