Ludwig, The Holy Blade (Bloodborne x League of Legends event champion idea)

Despite this may never happen but seeing Ludwig in bloodborne really makes me think he can actually preform as a champion in league, like a very cool one for that matter. We have a lot of edgy boiz, arrogant boiz, and take back what is right boiz, but this guy is all about trying to help everything right even through his suffering. So time to go over this horse... centaur... nightmare... whatever the heck he is.

Role: Bruiser Damage: AD and AP (under a certain circumstance) Lane: Jungle

Passive - My Guiding Moonlight All of Ludwigs abilities can be enhanced by the Moonlight Greatsword by holding down the key for the ability, enhancing it's damage but furthering its cast time (like charging up Sion's q) When it's fully charged, Ludwig will apply an extra effect to the ability with bonus ap damage, scaling with his damage imput and for how long the key was held. Ludwig cannot move while charging an attack.

Q - The Light's Edge Ludwig swings his sword in front of him, slowing and damaging enemies in a wide cone. If Ludwig charges the attack completely, the swing will send a lightwave in the target direction, dealing 60% of the damage of the cone's damage imput. The sword range (not the lightwave) from the fully charged attack also deals 15% of the opponents maximum health as bonus damage. https://66.media.tumblr.com/e3ec85ab770a442656441895a179b5be/tumblr_oz2ei95UXZ1vzel59o3_r1_540.gif

W - Divine Dominion Ludwig thrusts his blade into the ground, making a shockwave in a circle around him that knocks up enemies that stand within it. If Ludwig charges the attack completely, the attack's range increases while dealing more damage, also gaining 30% bonus attack speed. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bloodborne/images/c/c7/Holy_Moonlight_Sword_Ground_Thrust.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170907024941

E - Ride of the Hunters Ludwig slowly dashes forward while swinging his blade, trampling opponents he runs into and making a semicircle range slash at the end. When the attack is fully charged, Ludwig dashes in the target direction quickly while knocking opponents in the direction of his travel, doing greatly increased damage. The fully charged version can go through walls. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/DifficultInfiniteGuppy-size_restricted.gif

R - The Thread of Light Ludwig has a required charge up for the ability. If the key is let go during the channeling, the ability goes on cooldown, how long depending on how long the key was held. Once the channel is complete, Ludwig slams his sword down, creating a massive cone of holy light, dealing devastating damage to opponents within the range. The range of the attack is incredibly large, however, opponents are noted of the hitbox range on the ground as he charges up, after he raises his sword up (an animation in the middle of channelling). https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bloodborne/images/8/86/Ludwig_the_Holyblade.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170907024809

Interactions because it might add a bit more personality to Ludwig Aatrox Once a holy blade fell into hellbent destruction... as of I suffered so. Amumu I still yet not know why you will not rest in peace... Bard Tell me, what was the fleeting thing that guided you to your travels? Cassiopeia One so corrupted by a beast, to become one, is a dreadful fate indeed. Chogath You remind me well of beasts I hunted, monstrous, and vigorous fiends. Diana So, you have also seen the moonlight... Fiddlesticks Well then, aren't you strange... Hecarim You suffered the same fate as I? Also with a steed... That's perplexing... Jhin May I perhaps use one of your chosen weapons? It gives me nostalgia indeed... Kayn I remember the one with the scythe, one of the first... Khazix Your highly intelligent for a fiend, a remarkable hunt. Leona The sun sadly has never shone on me, quite figuratively and literally. Leona Someone, somewhere in this world, is praising. Nocturne This nightmare is ready to be slain! Nunu You tamed a beast? I have never heard of this ever in my life... RekSai And I thought I was hideous enough through becoming a horror you see now... I was outmatched. Vayne You will make an excellent hunter, will you join me and my hunters? Yorick Still clinging to a glimmering light? I done so as well...

I like the idea of his AD/AP ratios being similar to strength and arcane respectively. Give his R and W AP ratios and his Q and E, AD.

It's a pretty cool concept! One thing I notice, how would you combo with him? If you want the full damage you'll never be able to combo right? Basically, he seems fairly easy and not hard to master. Maybe add some combos to it, or effects to abilities when another ability is used :)

The numbers could use tuning, most notably on the Q which does 15% max health as bonus damage which is fine as long as it scales with either champion level or the ability points put in so like (3/6/9/12/15%), and I feel that this concept would make for a very nice shadow isles champion. To some extent, the design of the passive really reminds me of Yrel from heroes of the storm, but if I had to guess is suppose to represent how most attacks in bloodborne are telegraphed?

The champion itself looks like it's the type that can really punish mistakes, but everything can be avoided. Would love to see more numbers, and maybe a crossover lore xd.

I'm a simple person. I see Ludwig and Bloodborne, I upvote.

It is true that he'd make a legit champion although he'd probably be the freakiest one yet. Too many eyes on the inside. Can his laugh be the crazy horse laugh from after you beat him?
