New Champion Idea: Madame Cezelia Delphine - The High Voodoo Priestess

I've been playing league for a while now and the idea of coming up with a champion finally struck me about a month and a half ago. I've been working on and tweaking the idea for a new AP jungle champion since then and this is what I've come up with. I spent a lot of time tweaking the numbers for her abilities and I finally came to a happy conclusion for them. I didn't want her to be to over or under powered. She has obvious strengths and weaknesses but I feel her play style would be very fun as there are no real jungle champions that revolve around complete stalking and trapping their prey (Aside from Kindred) That said I don't believe any other jungle champion out there right now is focused completely on having the enemy wander into the jungle. Please let me know what you think. I do not have any concept art as of right now but I will be working on some soon. Again as I've said I have been working on her for about a month and a half now spending about two weeks figuring out her abilities and their damage numbers. I will still be tweaking her a little bit over the next few weeks but wanted to post everything that I had come up with as of now. Thanks for checking her out everyone.

The snake deals an initial 55/75/95/115/135 damage then deals additional 20 + (20% AD)(60%AP) damage over 4 seconds and reveals the enemy champion during that time. Serpent traps laid out in the open are visible to all champions while serpent traps laid in bushes become camouflaged but can be detected via wards/sweepers and disabled. Cezelia can shuffle through which snake she wants to place when her Q is initially activated, pressing Q again will place the trap. Each snake has unique bonus that applies only to that type of snake. Serpent Traps also act as wards and give limited visibility.

Enemy champions effected by the curse take 2% more damage as well as have all of their base stats dropped by 5% for the duration of the ritual. Serpents deal double the damage of how many points are currently put into Serpent Trap. Enemy champions who enter the area after the curse has been cast will not spawn a serpent but will be effected by the curse.

Overview

Cezelia is an AP jungle champion who excels at mid to late game counter jungling and selectively picking off enemy champions when ganking. With a widely diverse set of abilities each with it's own unique effect Cezelia brings a unique play style to the fields of justice.

Game Play

Early Game Jungling Phase

Cezelia stats the game with rather low stats more liken to a support. Cezelia should start the early jungle phase with her E helping her clear out camps and collect spirit essence and building up her max mana. Cezelias Q should be be her next ability utilized, placing serpent traps in well thought out areas to help avoid being counter jungled at the beginning of the game. Given Cezelias frail starting stats ganking under level 4 could prove fatal unless her teammates provide her excellent protection.

Once at level 5-6 Cezelia becomes more apt at controlling her ganks while still being cautious.

Counter jungling before lvl 4 if Cezelia is up against an opponent who is closer to her initial starting stats.

Mid Game Jungling Phase

Once Cezelia has reached level 6 and has use of her ult she will have a much easier time helping teammates take objectives and control areas of the map. Her usefulness will shine in the jungle where she can lure enemy champions into her serpent traps with her E as well as fearing others into them. Cezelia provides her team with the ability to break up team fights with her E as well as initiate them giving her hard crowd control when the time comes.

Late Game Jungling

By late game Cezelia should have collected enough spirit essence and gained enough mana to let her dominate both her jungle as well as the enemy teams jungle.

Strengths and Weaknesses

While Cezelia has a decent amount of hard crowd control that can cause havoc to the enemy team she is still very frail in that she is an AP jungle champion. While she exceeds at helping from the mid and back lines she is easily dominated when caught out allowing a player to shut her down very quickly.

Cezelias main strengths come from her ability to lay traps much like Teemos and either charming them into the trap, fearing them into the trap, or having an enemy chase her to a trap, dealing initial damage as well as damage over time as well as having a special added effect that will help take down enemies.

She also provides great back up when trying to chase down an enemy to make a kill with her Hex or allowing an escape when low on health.

Her Love Potion is her real shining gem with the hard crowd control it provides in team fights. Allowing for dispersal of the enemy team giving her team the chance to take out key targets. Cezelia can hide in a bush ready to throw a potion into the middle of a heated team fight and lead key enemy champions away drawing tanks such as Garren, Mundo, Nasus, Darius away from a team fight or causing tanks like Illaoi, Poppy, Sejuani, Leona, and Shyvanna to flee from team fights.

Cezelias main weaknesses come from her lack of mobility and escape other than her W or E depending on the sex of her attacker as well as her low health and low armor. She plays better from a safe distance than a jungle character who can go all in.

Cezelia struggles against enemies who can silence her from casting abilities or using her ult. When caught out in team fights Cezelia is easily downed if her teammates fail to protect her, kiting heavy hitting enemies or tanks away from her.

Cezelia Is Strong Against

1. Volibear - Her Serpent Trap combined with her Love Potion allow her to kite Volibear away from teamfights while countering his passive giving allies the chance to take out squishier opponents before finishing off volibear himself.

2)Warwick - Again her Serpent Trap and Love Potion counter his lifesteal passive

3)Fiddlesticks - Makes his W ineffective in team fights and when counter jungled

4)Dr. Mundo - Cancels his passive and works against his ult

5)Udyr - Renders his turtle stance ineffective

6)Shyvana - Shyvana might be more tanky but she is also heavy melee allowing Celezia to poke from a distance

7)Sejuani - Cezelia can easily fear her away from team fights denying her from chasing down teammates

8)Malphite - Her abilites cancel out his passive.

Cezelia Is Weak Against

1)Lee Sin - High mobility and multiple escapes render most of Cezelias abilities ineffective, mostly that of her Love Potion

2)Wukong - High mobility and escape potential

3)Xin Zhao - Hard engage with added crowd control

4. Kindred - Kindreds ult renders Cezelias ult ineffective, Wolfs Frenzy can keep Cezelia at bay because wolf is not affected by her abilities.

5)Nidalee - With her long range poke from her spear she can keep enough distance away from Cezelia making her abilities useless

6)Galio - Enough said

7)Veigar - Enough said

8)Leblanc - Enough said

Lore

Cezelia has no memories of her parents or even who they were. Citizens of Noxus who were exiled under false accusations of conspiracies against the leaders. They traveled beyond the Great Barrier into what is now known as the Voodoo lands. Soon after settling in a remote part of the wasteland Cezelias parents ran into a strange man. The first person they had seen since their exile from Noxus. The man introduced himself as Appa Nobita, the manifestation of the lands Aola. He had watched as the family had crossed the lands before settling, He had watched them struggle to live faced with the difficulties of keeping their baby alive and their own starvation, He knew of the dark evil they held within their hearts and the resentment they had began to feel towards Cezelia for becoming a burden to their survival in such a hostile place. He promised to grant them eternal vitality but only in exchange for a vital energy source. He told them that if they would sacrifice Cezelia to him and allow him to completely drain her spirit essence he would grant them such power. Cezelias parents out of resentment and own self absorbed will to live agreed. Appa Nobita placed a curse on Cezelia and she became ill, corrupted by dark energies, slowly draining her of her spirit essence. Nobita told her parents he would be back in three days to collect the last of her spirit and disappeared. Cezelias parents tried to ignore her cries of pain and she grew weaker but on the night of the second day they could no longer bear to hear their child suffering any longer. Their resentment replaced by the undying love they felt for her when she was first born. They agreed that when Nobita returned they would make a plea for him to spare their daughter in exchange for their own lives as long as their spirits could remain at Cezelias side. The next day Nobita returned to claim the last of Cezelias spirit. Her parents pleaded with him to spare her but he told them it was to late. The only way to break the curse would be to perform an extreme act of love. Cezelias parents agreed to do whatever it took to allow their child to live. Nobita informed them that they would forfeit their own spirits. They agreed and hugged their child once last time before embracing each other, ready to perform the ultimate sacrifice. Nobita said three words and instantly Cezelias parents were dead. Their bodies transformed two small dolls which Nobita picked up and attached to his necklace of charms. Cezelia grew stronger day by day as Nobita watched over her keeping his end of the deal. As Cezelia grew older she began to question Nobita about her parents and what had happened to them. Nobita finally told her the truth. And showed her the dolls. Cezelia pleaded with him to give them to her but he refused. Cezelia now knowing the truth was left alone once again until one day Appa Nobita appeared to her. He said he would make her a deal for the dolls. He needed the spirit essence of a child. One whom had recently been born in another part of the land. Cezelia asked for the name of the child and where to find them. Nobita informed her that she was to look for the 'Order of Grey' and seek out the girl named 'Annie'. With that Cezelia set out to find this girl, desperate to obtain the only remaining object of her parents.
