Viridian, the Soul of Nature (Champion Concept)

ShriekMauler·1/18/2016, 5:30:03 PM·1 votes·815 views

Viridian is the physical embodiment of nature on Runeterra. Docile and giving by "nature", he can also become a terrible force of destruction when the balance of the Wilds is at stake.

Viridian is a tanky Mage support that excels at aiding his allies in combat, swinging the tide of battle with a timely shield to an ally in need or a boost in attack/movement speed to a carry for the finishing blow.

"The power of the Wilds is at your command."

Passive: ** Nature's Blessing **: Every 10 seconds out of combat, Viridian heals himself and nearby allies for a % of their missing max health.

Q: * Flourish *: Viridian empowers target ally champion with nature's might, giving them increased movement speed and attack speed. Basic attacks deal 10/15/20/25/30 bonus magic damage on hit.

W: * Earthen Shield *: Viridian bestows a shield on target ally champion. The shield's strength scales off of Viridian's max health and after 5 seconds (or if broken) detonates dealing 10/20/30/40/50 + (30% AP) AoE magic damage to all nearby enemy units.

E: * Earthbound *: Viridian marks the ground around a target location, revealing it. After one second the marked area arms itself. If an enemy champion crosses into the zone, Earthbound triggers dealing 30/45/60/75/90 + (50%AP) magic damage to any units in the radius and rooting them for a short duration. If no enemies cross into Earthbound's zone for the next two seconds, the area disarms itself.

R: * Resurgence *: After a moderate channel (5 seconds), Viridian calls out to the spirit realm in a plea of resurgence to revive a fallen ally. Resurgence can be cast on any fallen ally champion to revive them from death as long as they have been dead for at least 10 seconds. Viridian also has access to this ability while dead. Revived champions respawn at Fountain and gain an increase in movement speed and a buff to their armor and magic resist for a duration. Resurgence has a long cooldown (300 seconds, 250 seconds, 200 seconds). If Viridian would level up Resurgence while it is on cooldown, the current cooldown is halved.

Reminds me of Viridian Forest.

Ult seems a bit OP, but other than that, I think it would be a great champ.

I kinda modeled the Ult after Revive (the removed summoner spell because barely anyone used it.) My thought on it was that if no one would take it as a summoner spell, what about if you have it a viable body and beat stick to use it more versatilely. Revive had its draw backs because you have flash, tp, ignite and other spells that are more relevant throughout the game while Revive was a one and done kinda spell. By giving Viridian the option to Revive (Resurgence) an ally, you give that player more say in the game. They can reanimate themselves or an ally carry should a team fight go badly, the enemy team scores an ace and they need someone to hold down the fort while the rest of the team re spawns. It gives the player a very inportant decision on who to revive and when (because the super long cooldowns.)

Aside from the ultimate, I wanted Viridian to fit into almost any role, as a fill-support kinda champ. His tanky shield from Earthen Shield would allow him to tank a lot of damage or give his shield to an ally, allowing them to either go all in or retreat from ganks if they don't feel safe. His Q Flourish, can give him good jungle clear for camps or can be gifted to an Adc to increase their damage output. Earthbound is also good at catching incoming gankers and escaping enemies. By marking the ground it creates a zone where the enemy most definitely does not want to tred lest they be snared and pickd off.

I tried to create an all around balanced kit, and I know Rito probably wouldn't look at this page, but I thought I'd give it a go and see what yall think :)
