Concept: Hama & Rolka, Beast and The Beastlier! (Support+Adc In one!)
Hey there! I used to make quite a few champion concepts back in season 3-4 (with one of my idea's actually becoming reaility in Kallista ult XP) But now i have decided to try my luck again. Why? To be honest, Jhin. I was really excited after seeing the trailer for him, but when his kit was actually revealed, i was very disapointed. He had no abilities we have seen the like of before in this game. In fact, adc's in general seems to get the short end of the creativity and unique stick, so i wanted to create something new. Then i though, why not tie the adc into her support for some Mounted action? So here we go! Btw i will not be putting up too many numbers in this one, because i am horrible at keeping those balanced.
The Basic idea:
Hama & Rolka are in fact two seperate champions, both controlled by a seperate player. They cannot be played without the other, for their kits reguire the other to work. But by working together, they can create a very good combo by using Hama's ability to jump onto Rolka's back, shielding her from harm and allowing her shoot at enemies while Rolka tanks the hits. Then, when needed, hama can jump off, giving her more Mobility and damage, but exposing herself to damage, something she takes very little. -Hama is ranged, While Rolka is melee. -Hama's health is low even for an adc, but he can compensate for this by mounting on Rolka and have him take the damage. Rolka has very low base movement speed, but with Rolka he gets poke, range and damage, while Jumping off of him can be used to catch fleeing low health enemies. -If one picks the other champion without anyone else picking the partner, it counts as not picking a champion. i am not entirely sure how this could be avoided in draft pick, but i am very open for ideas! I know there is a simple solution, i just have not figured it out yet! premade only duo prehaps? -If Hama is banned, so is Rolka, and Vice versa. -If Rolka is affect by things like Kallista ult, Tahm eating or such while Hama is mounted, both go. -If Rolka is hit by Aoe CC like Malphite ult, Maha also gets hit. Slows however ain't much of an issue to her while mounted.
Asthetic: Hama resembles a slender teenage girl with a native american feel to her. She has black hair with feathers put into it, and wears and wears a loose leather and cloth outfit, with many charms and bones attatched, celebrating her prey she has taken down. She wields harpoons in combat, throwing them while on foot or shooting them from Rolka's ballista while Riding.
Rolka is a huge, bulky creature with a slunched over appereance. He cab stand on two feet, but his arms and hands are so massive he moves them as well to walk like a gorrilla. He's mouth is almost entirely jaw, which bears a set of two huge tusks. He's skin is similiar to a troll, with some rough spots that resemble rocks on his backside, top of his head and shoulders. he has a ballista on his back for Hama to use, and traps attatched to his lower back.
The Abilities themselves:
Passive: Hama: Beast bond: If Hama hits a target with basic attack that Rolka has damaged in 4 seconds, she deals 10% extra damage. the damage goes up by further 5% every time the combo is repeated. Rolka: Master's bond: If Rolka hits a target with basic attack that Hama has damaged in 4 seconds, he heals himself for 1% health. This goes up a futher percent every time the combo is repeated.
By focusing on the same target, both become stronger. With Hama increasing damage while Rolka becomes more durable.
Q: Hama: Dust disk: Skill shot. Hama throws a clay disk forward, which explodes against the first target hit, dealing damage and giving them a minor slow. If used while mounted, it can pass over minions but travels a lesser distance. Rolka: Shaking stamp: Rolka leaps forward and slams his fists into the ground, around the distance of renekton's slice, and deals damage to all units around him on impact. If he hits any enemy target, he can repeat the jump again for no cost for 5 seconds.
Dust Disk acts as a poke tool and a minor cc. Can be used as a trading tool while on Rolka, but if alone trades probaply won't go well for Hama Due to her low health. Shaking Stamp acts as a gap closer for the two without being overboard.
W: Hama: Rending shot: Basic attack reset. Hama's next basic attack deals aditional damage over time, which increases the closer she is to her target. If she uses Rending shot on a target affected by Hama's crushing bite in the last 4 seconds, the target is further stunned again for the half of the duration, and the dot damage time is also doubled. Rolka: Crushing bite: Basic attack reset: Rolka takes a heavy bite with his tusked maw out of the target, dealing extra damage and stunning the target for a second.
This combo can reguire a specific timing, but properly excecuted, the results are damn effective.
E: Hama: Hop on!/Hop off! Hop on!: Hama leaps on to the back of Rolka and mounts her harpoon into the ballista on Rolka's back. While mounted, Hama cannot be targeted by attacks or abilities, nor takes damage from aoe effects (but is affected by the cc of them). Hama cannot move, and goes where Rolka goes. Hama deals 30/25/20/15/10% less damage while mounted with her basic attacks on enemy champions. Can only be used while within 250 of Rolka. If Rolka dies while Hama is on her back, Hama is dropped next to his corpse. If mounted, Hop on! Transforms into Hop off! Hop off!: Hama does a short leap off from Rolka's back, getting her mobility back. She stops dead in her tracks if she collides with a champion or an obstacle. After the leap she increases her movement speed by 10/15/20/25/30% for 3 seconds or until she basic attacks or takes damage. Rolka: Savage trap/Stone shield Savage trap: Rolka places a crude trap on a target location. Enemy who steps on it is snared for a short duration and is revealed for a longer duration. Rolka may have only 3 traps active at a time. If Hama is mounted on him, The ability gets replaced by stone shield. Stone shield: Rolka gathers up stone's to shield him and his partner, and gets a shield for a short duration. When the shield breaks, the surounding enemies are slowed.
This is the main mechanic with these two guys. While mounting reduces Hama's damage output slightly, it allows her to avoid damage and makes Rolka take it instead, while dismounting gives her a burst of mobility which Rolka lacks, and is necesary for Rolka to put up traps.
R: > Hama: Harpoon cable: Hama pierces a nearby target with her harpoon attatched to a rope, dealing damage and chaining them to Rolka. The target is unable to move away from Rolka for 4 seconds. trying to run, leap, dash or flash outside the affected range is negated and target is snared. If Rolka moves away from the champion, he is dragged along but Rolka's movement speed is reduced by 70% while doing so. After 4 seconds the chain breaks and the champion can move away again. This can Only be used while mounted.
I was trying really hard to be clear on the wording of this ult, but for clarity's sake, imagine Morgana's ult, only it hits only one target and they cannot break the tether or move out of it's range. oh and there is no stun.
Rolka: ???
This is kinda embaressing, but all the ideas i came up for Rolka's ult felt either very underwhelming or rehused ults from other champions. I would very much like to see what kind of ideas you would have for a champion duo like this. What would work in a kit like this?
and Javelin hunter 
aren't that new but let's see what you got.
E ?
W: I kinda dislike the range scaling as it only is impactfull when you ride Rolka.
The fact that you can chain the stun is nice, but even Kalista has only 2 seconds on her passive proc so maybe make the timeframe shorter.
E: Her bread and butter... which makes it strange that it is an ability you need to unlock first. I know it's for balance sake, but why does mounting and using a ballista reduce your damage ? It just feels wrong :I
R: Only usable when mounted :( And suddenly her passive becomes much more powerfull.
Nonetheless it is an interesting ability which I think we could see in the game eventually.
Depending on the type of ability this could also be used as a semi Skarner ult which feels a bit wrong (Rolka pulling Nautilus along...) so maybe only keep the no mobility spells while binded aspect which already is very powerfull against a lot of champions.
E +
?
Sounds weird to see a champion jump while another champion rides him...
BTW "and slams his fists into the ground" how exactly is Hama riding him ?
W:
+ Stun What kind of bite does he have that he stuns :P
(Don't say it I know it's his bad breath)
E:
W ? Don't know where the slow comes from, but the shield is pretty basic.
R:.... Don't have anything either.
