[Champion Concept] Rion, The Prodigal Aeromancer

Skyrian·2/10/2015, 8:56:35 PM·1 votes·364 views

Hey guys I have been working on designing a marksman who's theme revolves around wind, thus centering his mechanics around movement speed and attack speed. He is Janna's apprentice and I want his Kit to reflect that. I plan on doing creating a short comic and concept art for this design after I get a cohesive kit together, and that I why I have come here for some help. His E is the only problem I am having at the moment and I just cant decide what skill will add to his kit and be fun, without breaking him wide open.

Strengths: Mobility, Attack Speed, Kiting Weaknesses: Mana costs, Low attack range, Reliant on consistent skill shot accuracy.

summoner 6 Passive: Natural Thief Every auto-attack made against a champion will steal a flat percentage of their attack speed and movement speed, stacking up to 5 times. This will decay after 4 seconds.

item 3172 Q: Squall Static Cooldown: 1.5 sec, Recharge Rate:15/14/13/12/11 Rion stores a charge of Squall every few seconds and can store up to 2 charges.

Rion fires a Gust of air in a line that will deal physical damage to the first enemy it hits. Enemies struck will be effected by the "Wind Blown" debuff for 5 seconds. This debuff will triggered after being hit by one of Rion's skills. When triggered the enemy will be dealt magic damage and slowed for a brief duration.

summoner 11 W: Piercing Winds Cooldown: 10 sec Duration: 6 sec Passive: For every enemy Rion hit's beyond the first he gains increased attack speed for a short duration stacking up to 4 times.

Active: Rion's auto attacks and Squall will pierce the main target hitting secondary targets behind them for reduced damage.

Janna E: I want is E to have a damage component but besides that I am still thinking of what would fit thematically and cohesively into this kit. I believe a speed up or dash is necessary but I am leaning towards a movements speed steroid.

{{summoner:10}} R: RIde the Wind Cooldown: 100/80/60 sec Duration: 6/7.5/9 sec After a brief cast Rion will surge with power, knocking back all nearby enemy champions a short distance and gaining massively increased Movement speed, and doubling the effect of "Natural Thief" while Ride the Wind is active.

Before I try my hand at number balancing and range, I want to have the kit designed and finalized (for the most part). Feel free to comments on what you think and what you think needs tweaking. if you have any questions please ask.

Very interesting concept, it's hard to be very detailed since numbers aren't there yet, but here is a little feedback :)

  1. Overall cool theme and synergy of the spells you have now! Well done.

  2. I suggest that Natural Thief should just provide attack speed (enough movement speed to the kit so far that keeping it in all places means nerfing to the point where individual gains aren't tangible)

  3. Change piercing winds passive to be just movement speed to compensate for loss on Natural thief; this means both movement and attack speed are equally experiencing gains

  4. Change ultimate to be the new E. This will provide the steroid you're looking for while also providing a means of escape/minor cc through a knock-back

  5. Squall might need to have a cooldown for Windblown debuff so it can only happen so often.

  6. A new R to tie into the kit:

Tempest:

For 7 seconds, Rion channels the essence of air through his being as he casts abilities. For a brief moment after using an ability (0.5 seconds), Rion becomes an airy wisp causing projectiles to pass through him without damaging him. Additionally, Squall does not require nor consume charges to cast.

This could give him some unique mechanics, fits thematically, and allows him to maximize upon your want for him to be consistent with constant skill-shot use (Squall). Plus, if timed right, this means he has survivability because he could dodge auto's from enemy adc.

Just looking to see what you think :)
