Hello all! It's been a couple months (probably more than that) at least, but I felt another urge to provide some cool character creation in this community. For this post, I have created a traditional vampire style character which I think would be a cool implement for Riot to go. And before anyone says anything, no Vladimir does NOT count as a vampire (he's just basically a blood fanatic even though his lore suggests a vampire). -.-

As you already know, her name is Josefina, The Countess, and I created this character to act more like an assassin (so mid-lane and maybe top-lane). Below will be her stats and kit, then you can find her backstory shortly after. With that, I hope you enjoy this creation, and be sure to leave lots of feedback for me! It's always appreciated.


Health: 597-2076 Health Regen.: 5.5-14 Mana: 334-1405 Mana Regen.: 6-19.5 Range (Melee): 125 Attack Damage: 61-112 Attack Speed: 0.667 (+10-35.7%) Armor: 37-96.5 Magic Resist.: 32.1-53.4 Move. Speed: 335


Passive: Thirst and Consumption Josefina's lust for blood is insatiable and will even drive her to greater strength the more she can consume it.

  • Josefina deals extra physical damage on all attacks and damaging abilities equal to the total percent number of her life-steal. For example, if Josefina has 35% life-steal at any point during an attack or damaging ability, she would deal an extra 35 physical damage.

Q: Countess' Kiss Josefina empowers herself for a brief period, overcome with the thirst for blood. Mana Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 Mana Cooldown: 11/19.5/8/6.5/5 seconds Cast Duration: 5 seconds at all ranks

  • Josefina's next basic attack gains 10/14/18/22/26% life-steal and deals 105/109/113/117/121% Attack Damage instead of 100% as she bites into the target, drinking their blood. This attack can critical hit and applies on-hit effects.

W: Shroud of Bats Josefina shrouds herself in a swarm of bats temporarily, which also attacks enemies near them. Mana Cost: 60/64/68/72/76 Mana Cooldown: 20/18/16/14/12 seconds Radius: 100 units

  • In an explosion of bats, Josefina becomes stealthed for 3.5/3.75/4/4.25/4.5 seconds and creates a circle of swarming bats. Additionally, enemies within the radius of the circle take 20/25/30/35/40 (+10% Attack Damage) each second they are in it. This effect ends after you leave stealth.

E: Hypnotizing Gaze Josefina hypnotizes her enemies facing her temporarily, turning her eyes crimson red to do so. Mana Cost: 80/85/90/95/100 Mana Cooldown: 22/20/18/16/14 seconds Radius: 350 units Angle: 80*

  • Josefina flashes her eyes red in a cone, charming any enemy champion facing her for 0.5/.65/0.8/0.95/1.1 seconds and reducing their armor by 3/4/5/6/7% for the charm duration.

R: Dread's Embrace Josefina enters a frenzied state of mind, her dress expanding to look more intimidating (like a demonic cape with claws). Mana Cost: 100/110/120 Mana Cooldown: 120/112/104 seconds Lunge Range: 400 units

  • Upon casting, Josefina enters a frenzy for 5/6.5/8 seconds. During this time, she gains an extra 20/30/40% life-steal and also gains a boost of 40 movement speed.
  • Additionally, upon recasting during this duration after 1 second has passed, lunges in a line, dealing 100/150/200 (+120% Attack Damage) to the first enemy champion struck. Also, if that target was charmed or damaged by Shroud of Bats within the last 10 seconds, Josefina and the target are teleported back to the spot of this ability's initial cast. This ability ends immediately upon finishing the re-cast.

Playing as Josefina: Josefina is a very in and out assassin champion (as a typical assassin really should be, such as Zed's playstyle). A lot of her kit revolves around getting in range of your target, landing the charm/stealth and bursting your damage with your q and maybe another auto afterward before getting out of there. With this kit however, Shroud of Bats will be the factor in your abilities which determine whether you exit a fight or instigate one. After level 6 however, it should become much easier to conduct ploys into the enemy team and steal a teammate away from them if you can get the charm or damage from Shroud of Bats in before hand.


Location: Zaun


Backstory: Born to a ruthless chem-baron, Josefina knew nothing of love as her mother was killed at an early age, leaving her only family to be her father, which wasn't saying much. Her mother had died to over consumption of The Grey, an accident caused by her father's workers. Josefina experienced the same as her mother at that moment, but survived miraculously. Her father overlooked her cheating of death, and disposed of the workers who had caused this. After that, Josefina always felt different inside, as if something was changing... or developing. Her relationship with her father only grew worse over the years after her mother's death. Josefina soon grew to hate her father and act in a rebellious nature towards him. Until one day, when she stumbled upon a large factory of her father's which seemed to be mixing blood with The Grey into a strange mixture within large vats. Her father found her immediately, and ordered her to leave, but a large argument soon broke out, regarding Josefina's onslaught of questions such as, "What evil things are you doing?" and, "Where did you get all this blood?" One large backhand by her father sent Josefina flying, off the platform and into one of the vats of strange mixture. Almost upon the touch, Josefina felt her body change as she sank into the acidic liquid. She felt something wake up inside of her as suddenly, this liquid became a delicacy to her. She rose from the liquid, drinking it all the while to the scent of fresh blood all around her. She slaughtered the factory room in an instant, leaving her father for last, who she saw wore an expression she'd never seen from him before. Fear. Her eyes rolled back in pleasure as she drank from his blood, all the while reveling in his screams of agony. Afterwards, she detonated the vats, melting everything there as the liquid poured across the room, causing it all to look like an accident, as she took over her father's business as a chem-baroness; occasionally taking a trip to the outskirts of Zaun to satisfy her thirst.


There is my custom LoL champion everyone. I hope you all enjoyed looking at this creation/story, and if you had concerns, again, be sure to let me know in the comments! Thanks again! [sg-miss-fortune]

Edit Box:

  1. Josefina's Enemies: Evelynn and Warwick (this means she's encountered these characters negatively somewhere in her life after she became the baroness)
  2. Josefina's Quotes: Upon Selection - I knew you couldn't resist. Upon Ban - scoffs How rude! First Move In Game - I can already taste their blood. Ssssooo delicious. First Move with Enemy Evelynn/Warwick - sighs Always getting in my way of dinner... Regular Move - I'm getting hungrier... and hungrier... Attack - S-So delicious. I... can't resist! Kill - What an appetizer. Pick up Honeyfruit/Drink Potion - Blah! Blah! This... is good for you!? Pentakill - MOORREEE!! I NEED MOOORREEEE!!!!!

Interesting idea, if this where to be a real champ id play for the first few weeks see how she would work

Does W's swam of bats follow her or remain in place. Additionally wouldn't the dmg from the bats cause her to leave stealth?

pretty cool champ

Super cool idea, I'd love to play this champion. Really simple, yet efficient. The storyline seems unfinished, almost as if I'm not being told something! ;)

Her ultimate seems a little clunky, if she hadn't attacked or anything within the last ten seconds she's stuck at her position. Despite being labeled as a top or mid-lane champion, I truly believe she'd be most efficient in the jungle due to her life steal and benefits there from. All of her abilities synergize well in my opinion, but her ultimate is very situational as she cannot engage with it rather she's forced to be engaged with first. Her Q does deal quite a bit of damage, with her bonus damage, on-hit effects, and crit.. I do question the five second cast duration, that is a very long time for a single attack.

All in all, this would be a very fun champion to play, great idea.
