I designed Link as a Champion. Here's how it turned out.

(Hyperlink to my original Google Docs draft page)

Link: The Champion

Passive 1: Hearts

• Kills, Assists, and Epic Monster Takedowns grant Link Pieces of Heart. 4 Pieces = 1 Container. Link can only gain a total of 36 Pieces of Heart.

• Link will gain one Heart Container at the takedown of: the first Tier 2 Tower, the first Tier 1 Tower, the first Inhibitor Tower, the first Inhibitor, and the first Nexus Tower, as well as achieving the first Baron Buff, the first Fifth Dragon Buff, and a kill participation of 3, for a total of 8 Heart Containers maximum. Each Heart Container gives Link 50 bonus HP.

Passive 2: Hylian Shield

• Link takes 10% reduced damage from basic attacks that hit him from the front.

Basic Abilities

Q: Trinity Strike - 80/75/70/65/60 Mana - Cooldown: 6 seconds - Range: 300

• When Link uses a basic attack, Trinity Strike may be activated to deal 100% AD physical damage to all enemies in front of him, applying on hit-effects. If it hits an enemy or neutral monster, the Link’s next basic attack will deal 30/60/90/120/150 + (50% total AD) bonus physical damage to all enemies in a line towards/behind the target, applying on-hit effects.

W: Equipment (Hero’s Bow, Gale Boomerang, Hookshot) - 70 Mana - Cooldown: 6 seconds

• Link uses one of his utility items. Items are selected via drop-down menu (ALT + W to switch)

Hero’s Bow: Range: 800/850/900/950/1000 - Speed: 1500

• Link fires an arrow in a line, dealing 60/100/140/180/220 + (80% bonus AD) physical damage to the first target hit

Hookshot: - Range: 500/600/700/800/900 - Speed: 1000

• Link pauses briefly to fire off his Hookshot in a line, with varying effects upon impact.

• If it hits a wall, Link will be pulled to it.

• If it hits an enemy non-super minion or small monster, it will be pulled to Link. Link can then throw the minion to deal 100% of its current health in physical damage to the first enemy struck as well as to the minion.

• If it hits an enemy champion or large monster, it will be stunned for 1.0/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8 seconds and dealt 50/75/100/125/150 physical damage.

Gale Boomerang: Range: 700 - Speed: 1200 (Think Diana’s Q)

• Link tosses his Gale Boomerang in a small U shape, dealing 80/110/140/170/200 + (80% AP) magic damage, slowing enemy champions by 20/30/40/50/60% for 2 seconds, and knocking up enemy minions and neutral monsters for 1 second.

E: Agility Maneuver - 80/75/70/65/60 Mana - Cooldown: 12 seconds

• Link tactically maneuvers around the battlefield.

• If the cursor is over an enemy champion, Link will jump to that champion, dealing 70/105/140/175/210 + (70% bonus AD) physical damage.

• If no enemy champions are selected, Link will roll forward, side-jump, or backflip a short distance, and the cooldown will be reduced by 50%.

• Can be used to hop over short walls.

R: Bestowed Power - 100 Mana - Cooldown: 50/40/30

• The 6 Sages bestow their blessing upon Link, granting him an empowered ability of his choice.

Empowered Abilities

Q: Spin Attack - Radius: 300 (+200 per .5 seconds charged)

• Link charges his Spin Attack every .75 seconds, dealing 60/120/180 + (60% AD) magic damage per spin. Radius increases while charging. Link’s movement speed is slowed by 40/30/20% while charging. If Link is interrupted or does not release the spins after 3 seconds, the ability will refund half the cooldown and mana cost.

W: Light Arrow - Range: 1400/1600/1800 - Speed: 1700

• Link fires the Light Arrow that deals 175/250/325 + (125% bonus AD) true damage and applies a stun for 1.25/1.50/1.75 seconds to all enemy champions it passes through. Epic monsters take 200/600/1000 true damage instead.

E: Ending Blow

• Link jumps to an enemy champion and mortally impales it, dealing 16/24/32% + (.4% bonus AD) of its missing HP as physical damage to end its breath before it springs back into action.

• Killing the target refreshes the cooldown of Agility Maneuver.

So this is what I think Link would be like if he were designed as a champion. What do you guys think?

Sorry if it's difficult to read, there isn't a lot to work with on a forum post.

I realize the numbers may not be balanced. Just did this for fun :D
