CHAMPION CONCEPT: Blake, the Gunslinger

Blake is a Yordle gunslinger that never left the cowboy era. With his twin revolvers he links his abilities inbetween attacks to deal maximum damage.

PASSIVE: Pain and Suffering - Blakes basic attacks are empowered based on the last ability he used. Blakes abilities cooldowns are reduced by .5 seconds whenever an enemy minion dies near him (doubled for siege and super minions.) the effect is quadrupled for enemy champions.

Q: A.P.R. (Armor Piercing Round) - Blake fires a single shot in a straight line dealing high physical damage (AD scaling) to the first target hit and half to every target after. Enemies hit have armor reduced by 15% for 1.5 seconds. Blake gains 5 flat armor pen (25 at ability max) if A.P.R. was his last ability used.

W: Frag Rounds - Blake fires a frag round at a single target dealing Medium magic damage (AP scaling) to the target and a small area around the target. If Frag Rounds was the last ability used, Blakes basic attacks deal additional magic damage (AP scaling) to his target and a small area around his target.

E: Hollow Point - Blake fires a single shot in a straight line dealing physical damage (AD scaling) to the first target hit and slowing the damaged target by 15% (scales with ability level by 5%) for 1.5 seconds. If Hollow Point was the last ability used, Blakes basic attacks slow his target by 5% (increases to 10% at max ability level) for 1 second.

R: Gun Show: Passive: Blake readies a bullet for each ability he uses up to a maximum of 6 (He uses a six shooter lets get realistic here.) He loses one stack every 10 seconds he hasn't used an ability. Activate: Blake unleashes the bullets he has readied on target enemy champion dealing physical damage (70% rank 1, 85% rank 2, 100% rank 3 of attack damage) to target champion after a 2 second channel. Any interruption will refund half the cooldown cost.

Edit: new ult and passive. Added armor shred to A.P.R. (fit the theme of it.)

I like the concept. It's not overly complicated, which is good, and the abilities (especially the passive) seem like they would be interesting to learn to play around. The one ability I don't really love in the ultimate. It seems sort of generic, and I feel like this champion needs something besides just flat damage output to make it stand out. Perhaps his ultimate could reduce the cooldowns on all of his abilities for a few seconds (still giving that "whirlwind of lead" effect) as well as allow the bonuses provided by casting his abilities stack for the duration? (So casting Frag Rounds after Hollow Point would give you both of the bonuses for the ultimate's duration rather than just the last one cast.) This could even apply to casting the same ability twice, allowing Blake to rack up a pretty nasty slow or some awesome AoE damage, depending on the circumstance.

That's just my opinion, though. Good luck with the concept!

the ultimate is just meant to be a high damage aoe ability. think katarina but mobile and a little more safe. the whole whirlwind of lead is just a description to kind assay he is "spinning" during the duration XD it is pretty generic. I thought about having some sort of cd in his kit, but that would over load his passive considering its a free crit twice per fight if you play it right.

Is he meant to be an ADC or a fighter? I get a Top lane vibe from being that you don't want ADC's gunslinging in the middle.

Meant to be an adc that feels kinda like Lucian while still having his own identity. Lucian goes ability auto ability where as Blake would go ability ability wait wait auto ability ability auto ability auto. its all about "slinging" them bullets.

his passive and q is very similar to lucian, i would suggest tweaks, on it, rather than just a piercing shot, if he's a gunslinger, wouldn't something seen as multiple shots be better rather than lucian who is more based on quick shots?

his q isn't targeted so its just a skill shot. Hes supposed to have that feel about him because he gains powers from being a caster over just someone who relies soly on auto attacks, while still having his own identity. Hes more about controlling which ability you used last to get the most of what youre trying to accomplish (dueling, wave clear, chase.) and with Lucian being the only real caster adc currently yeah he does kinda have that feel. I didn't want him to have just that his abilities give him the bonuses because I felt he wouldn't have enough in his kit for being so immobile. This is actually the third version of him I came up with one being more auto reliant and one being more zoning then this one which is more about controlling your abilities and using them wisely.

Edit: in the first idea I had for him I had an idea for his q that did multiple shots that became faster the more attack speed he had. similar to yasuos q. I see what you mean though about the passive. Ill see if I can come up with something different!
