backstory

Xerox is a mage that specializes in combining mirror magic with hextech machines, utilizing his and his enemies' powers to great extents, he also sees balance in all things no mater how contradictory to each other some things are, and wishes to bring said balance to the world, his first step for this goal? unifying Materia and Kratorra into one nation


Abilities

P - Hextech Energy Converter

  • Xerox's Hextech Mirror Mage Battle Robes grant him two resource bars, mana and Mirror Matter, whenever Xerox takes damage, 70% (+20% AD) of that damage is converted to Mirror Matter, upon reaching 100% Mirror Matter his abilities use up Mirror Matter instead of Mana and heal him for 40% (+20% AP) of the Mirror Matter spent, Mana Capacity increasing Items increase Mirror Matter capacity instead

Q - Silver Light

  • Xerox Casts a blast of silver light in a 80 degree cone, dealing 55/70/85/105/120 physical damage (+65% AP) to all enemy units and applying a burn that deals 25 physical damage per tic, ticking every 0.5 seconds for 4 seconds

note - in Duality Mode the Dot scales off 20% AD

W - Mirror Image

  • Xerox chooses a target and magically copies their ability with the highest AP Ratio (not including Ults unless its Udyr), if the enemy does not have any AP Ratios then it copies the ability with the highest AD Ratio, also copies mana costs and cool down, if target is Azir or Orianna it does flat 80 Magic Damage damage with their highest AP ratio instead

note - in duality mode this ability is replaced with an ability that creates 2 damageless clones (like leblanc pre-rework passive)

E - Hextech Looking Glass

  • while out of combat Xerox holds up to two charges, when cast places a Magic mirror at the chosen location and grans vision (max 2 active mirrors) , mirror have 6 health, they take 2 damage (3 hits) from ranged champions and 3 from melee (2 hits), once in combat activating this ability shoots out a projectile in a line dealing 80 (+70% AP) Physical damage piercing through minions and stopping on the first champion hit slowing them, near by magic mirrors also shoot the projectile in the cursor's direction, the damage from multiple projectiles dont stack but the slow does

note - in duality mode the projectiles gain a bigger hit box

R - Duality

  • Passively - Xerox gains 3 AD per level

  • Xerox powers up his Hextech Mirror Mage Battle Robes granting himself 100/150/200 bonus HP, 60 Armor, 60 Magic resist, auto attacks deal a bonus 40% AD and 60% AP on hit, but loses 15% movement Speed and becomes Melee until death

I love the idea of a dual resource bar, that is really cool! Although I feel like his Mirror Matter filling up from taking damage could be problematic, he is a mage type class overall and while his ult does give him a nice form of damage reduction, mages should always try to avoid damage in team fights. While I do think the passive would work well during the lanning phase, later on in team fights you would not utilize the full effect of the passive. Overall a great concept though, maybe trying to find a different way to fill his Mirror Matter would be better.

His Silver Light ability I think thematically you hit the mark perfectly! I love the idea of doing physical damage while scaling off of AP, this idea fits very well for the champion concept. Overall great ability, one thing I would change would be the DoT to do magic damage instead of physical, would just fit the idea of doing light damage to someone, similar to how lux does magic damage with her light.

Yes! Finally! I have been waiting for a spell steal ability for years! I have always loved the character Rubic from Dota 2 as a spell stealer and I think this concept would be a great addition to League. I feel like the only problem with this ability is it will always take the highest ratio ability which I think might be a little strong, no matter what you'll always be taking the same ability from the same champion. Me, personally, I would add the random aspect to his Mirror Image, perhaps as you put points into the ability more the higher the chance to steal the highest ratio ability. Overall, love the idea!

Hextech Looking Glass is a cool ability, I like the idea of giving vision. I think I would drop the damage given by the mirrors and change it from a slow to a stun. Overall I like the ability but I feel like their could be more to it.

I like the Ult Duality, thematically fits well and works well with the passive. I feel like the bonus AD could be a little much, to fit better why not give him both a little AD and AP passively, Overall I like the thinking done here, finding a way to make the ult work with the passive is good, but as stated earlier I think more could be done with how Mirror Matter fills up.

Overall I love the concept here! Xerox could be a really cool addition to the game, a really cool hybrid style battlemage would, in my opinion, be fun to play! Keep up the good work, hope to see more in the future! Cheers [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Thanks for the feed back man, I'll look into the suggested changes :)

Hi there!

Here is my honest feedback:

Passive: It actually seems pretty dang interesting. I like that he has to use his powers in order to spark his passive. However, I think a few tweaks could make this even better. I think having a general number of spells that he can cast once reaching 100% would be better (depending on level). The healing seems a little too big considering that he has some AoE powers. I think it is nice to have it, but maybe lower it a tad?

Q: I was going to say that was weak... but then I read the full thing. I think it pretty good as it currently is. Not too overbearing, yet not too weak either.

W: I like the concept, yet I think it would be a little weird/op. I know that Lux's R is her highest AP ratio... so I think instead of copying the spell per say, you could instead allow the W to be shield the deflects projectiles back at their caster.

E: I like the concept. The only thing is that slows cannot stack (I learned this yesterday). The largest slow is the one that is applied. Other ones are forgotten.

R: I think the passive is not really needed because you already get AD per level up. You could experiment with this like every point of AD is converted to some AP, or vice versa. I think switching to melee like this is kind of weird. You don't really have gap closers or anything in the kit to allow your concept to catch the enemies.

There you go.

hi there, when i commented on your post i meant the concept i posted before this one XD (Mira the culinary Queen) but thanks a ton on the feed back anyway

about her W, i specifically made it so unless your udyr it can not copy ults so no balance worries there

as for the R yeah you dont have a gap closer but the tank stats you get are meant for you to use it once you get focused or as you follow ally engage, not for you to engage yourself

Not the mage of documents?

Sorry I couldn't resist. (For reference Xerox is a business that handles documents, perhaps the name originates from copying or reflections since it makes sense for your character as well).

Anyway, on to feedback. Does mirror matter give him damage reduction? Or does he simply gain 70% of the damage taken as mirror matter? One way is severely overpowered, the other is potentially reasonable.

Q does 320 base damage + 65% AP? that's way too much damage, tone it down there.

W steals an ability from another champion, this creates a need for very in-depth knowledge of other champions in the game. I suspect it may be too much of a burden of knowledge on the player playing Xerox.

E seems cool, but if they're supposed to be mirrors then it might be cooler to allow him to reflect his other abilities off of them, perhaps giving those abilities more range or a new direction.

This is interesting, but how does it fit with the rest of the kit? Looking for synergy here, or a big thematic moment. This ultimate doesn't really speak to his theme, it just turns him into a stat-stick with some tradeoffs.

the passive mirror matter is kinda like the Awe passive of the catalyst line, you get resources from taking damage, if im understanding you correctly id say the second one

as for the ult it makes you a bit more durable in teamfights and lets you fully utilize both AD and AP you build throughout your whole kit

Ah okay then, yeah that seems reasonable. The rate of healing he gets back from it might need a bit of tuning to make sure it's not too strong but that's cool.

I respect that, however if he's supposed to get in the middle of fights and take hits then he should build that way, he can't have carry level damage and be beefy as hell without paying significantly for that. Theoretically at least.

Also this didn't address the damage concerns with the rest of the kit. Silver light alone deals way too much damage for a character that you seem to want to build carry items on. Rumble has to build AP bruiser to be able to survive in fights with a similar damage level on his Q, Xerox by comparison can build full carry and just use his ult to bulk up for fights.

Not trying to bash, just explaining my concerns, balance wise.

Drakath20021 votes

Yeah I see what worries you, but these bulky stats are flat stats that scale up with the ult rank, meaning you just get a tad bit more durable and rely on your passive sustain, if locked down your pretty burstable like a Viktor, Malzahar or Karthus, it's only at very late game do you become decently bulky

Also I will tone down the passive heal and Q damage thanks for pointing that out

HalcyonDweller1 votes

if you don't want to tone down the Q damage too much you could modify it to ensure that the burn has to be refreshed, make it last 1 second but be refreshable as long as the ability is active and hitting the enemy. Like a Burst in an area and then have it spitting a lingering light or fire out.

The big thing is that 25 damage every .5 seconds adds up really quickly. You could play with the damage or you could play with the initial burst or with the tick rate, there are a lot of ways to tweak it depending on what you want to preserve.

Hey thanks a ton on the feedback

I hope I'm not asking for too much and if I am my apologies, but maybe you could check another concept I've made that's lower down too? (Mira the Culinary Queen) your feedback on Xerox was really really useful

HalcyonDweller1 votes

Glad I could help, I hope I didn't come across as too harsh. It's a really cool idea and me having different thoughts about how it should work shouldn't lessen your idea's greatness.

Sure thing, I'll come back to it after work to review, I marked this comment unread so I can come find it again. I'll come back with feedback either tonight or tomorrow.
