[Champion Concept] Maize- The corny ambassador

**Maize- The Corny Ambassador **

Story: Maize was supposed to be an ordinary piece of corn, the scientists at Piltover genetically modified all the food there but when It came to Maize they modified him way to much and changed him to become more of a helper seeing if they could control the creations that they make. When Maize grew he noticed what was happening, he grew his roots and his head was popping out. Late that night when the scientists went home, he sneaked out of this cage going into his dirt in his chamber and coming back up outside the facility. He moved to the outside of Piltover, finding a sweet home on the outskirts where he lived for years, contemplating him and what his next step should be, he saw people coming and going from all over he place and soon he left exploring and adventuring getting stronger and stronger. He of course one day made it to the league where now he is....

Gameplay Maize is supposed to be a AD fighter or assassin in the mid or top lane that gets many buffs in team fights or just while picking people off one by one. I want him to be easy, simple, and to be somewhat of a versatile champion that can be very helpful in many different ways.

Final Notes: This is my first champion concept and I would love any feedback you may give. This idea came into my head as I was just drawing and doodling and I made this little cute guy ( http://s12.postimg.org/vsvla8hkt/Maize.jpg ) I am making this the same day I got the Idea so I don't really have names for the abilities and lastly, I'm not creative so if you can help me any way I can that would be great!
