[CCCCC] Bowser, the King of Koopas
Let's see if I've still got it.
Lore: His Gnarliness, the King of Koopas, has long been a thorn in the side of the Mushroom Kingdom. Roughly 80% of the Mushroom Kingdom's problems - and kidnappings - can be traced back to Bowser trying to kidnap Princess Peach and generally succeeding before that damnable plumber ruins everything again. With an army of diverse minions (thereby meeting the Diversity in the Workplace Act of '12) and a cadre of Magikoopas, on top of airships, Bowser is most certainly a threat to be reckoned with.
Well, until someone ELSE tries to kidnap Peach, whereupon Bowser is willing to shelve everything to team up with the Mario brothers to get her back, because how DARE they encroach upon his turf! Bowser is also inexplicably good at go-karting, golf, tennis, full-contact soccer, and Olympic sports, and takes every opportunity to rub it in the face of those Mario brothers. His favorite pastime is crashing parties by taking people's money when they land on his spaces.

Damage Calculations on the Q:
Assuming level 5 with a total of 200 AD (an arbitrary number that is not wholly unreasonable): First tick: 152 damage Second tick: 167 damage Third tick: 183 damage Fourth tick: 202 damage Fifth tick: 222 damage Total over 5 ticks: 926 damage
Question: Why are you letting Bowser hit you for 2.5 seconds?
Bowser is meant to be played as a juggernaut that draws attention from allies onto him by posing a consistent threat. Tough Guy demands Bowser be attacked first to keep him out of the fight, while Flame Breath punishes ignoring him by piling on damage quickly. In terms of team utility, Flying Slam and Minion Hurl allow Bowser to score picks that turn into out-of-position enemy targets. Flying Slam is especially good at isolating enemies if Bowser is next to a wall. His high attack power and dangerous CC is offset by Bowser's total lack of anything resembling mobility on his basics - without a Frozen Mallet, Bowser cannot force anyone to stay engaged in a fight with him after his E has been expended, allowing most champions to leave the battlefield safely should Bowser lack allied support. This also makes Bowser highly vulnerable to knockback, as it takes too long for Bowser to return to the front compared to other melee champions.
There's also some fun in using Minion Hurl with allied/enemy pets, such as hurling Heimer turrets into bad spots, killing Annie with Tibbers, beating a Voidling with another Voidling, throwing an allied Heimer ult turret into someone's dumb face, chucking your Zz'rot voidspawn into turrets...If nothing else, I think it's the most fun thing on the kit given how effectively it sums up Bowser as dangerous yet comical.
Quotes, because they're for some reason in vogue?:
On Pick: "Bwa ha ha! I'll crush 'em!"
On Ban: "Bwa ha ha! I'll cr-hey! Hey! Wait!"
On First Movement: "Perfect! A new castle!" "Let's see those plumbers get through this!" "Bwa ha ha! Your king is here!"
On Movement: "Bwa ha ha!" "It's no Mushroom Kingdom, but this place'll do!" "Huh? Hey, where's my army?" "Those Mario brothers better not be here..." "You're looking pretty throwable..." "I should take Princess Peach here for our honeymoon! Bwa ha ha!"
On Attack: "Graawgh!" "I'll crush you!" "Hey! Stop moving so I can step on you!" "You're looking pretty flammable!" "Bwa ha ha! An easy fight!" "Where's the rest of you?!"
On Kill: "Bwa ha ha!" "Nobody messes with the King of Koopas!" "They don't call me His Gnarliness for nothing!"
On Death: Bowser is knocked into the air and on his back, flailing wildly but unable to self-right. He continues flailing while "dead". "Bwuh?! What happened?!" "Hey! Wait!" "I just...let you win, yeah!"
On Approaching a "Dead" Bowser As An Enemy: "Could you, uh, help me out over here?" "Hey! Get over here so I can bite you!" "You're lucky I'm letting you get away this time!"
Taunt: Bowser chomps the air in front of him a few times, then roars. "You really think you can take ME?"
Joke: A flagpole appears out of the ground. Bowser attempts to jump on the top to get a 1-up, but falls a bit short and causes the flagpole to collapse.
I'll probably update this as I go along. Your comments and thoughts and criticisms are welcome.
