Cowboy / Gunslinger Champion idea
Hello evreyone, This is the first time i post something on the LoL forums, But i had this New Champion idea floating around my head for a while. So why not post it here? Share it with you, find out what other people think about it and who knows what happens :) I hope is something new and fresh and maybe inspiring for Riot to play with.
I never posted or ''created'' a champion before. So what you can expect is: A ''rough'' / ''unpolished'' idea of the champion. How he might look, but mostly important his Skill set. So you can expect just some ideas and not something worked out nicely and perfectly from A to Z.
Dont expect: Level Scaling and Skill scaling, because i have really no clue about that, haha!
Let's get going:
The Cowboy / Western Gunslinger.
(Hell, call him Cowboyman or Roy the cowboy. i dont care)
The looks : I had this Old western cowboy look in mind. With the typicall Cowboy hat, Some Leather boots with those spores, a poncho ( or a long coat or something like that), give him somewhat long(er) hair, a Bandana wrapped around his face & lets dont forget 2 belt holsters for his guns (1 one each side)
For his weapon(s): Its a cowboy themed champion, what do you expect? We're going to give him 2 Colt revolver's! (nothing more cowboy then that!..?) Resting in his belt buckles when out of combat. Shooting with one for his Auto Attack and the other for his skills.
Time to get serious, the Skillset:
Passive: Cowboy's dont need mana, they need ammo! So what i came up with for his passive is: Ammo! / Bullets!
How it works? Lets give him 4, 5 or 6 '' Ammo / bullet points''. Each time he uses a skill that uses a '' ammo / bullet'' as a resource, he loses a ''ammo / bullet'' point. Howmuch points he loses depents on the skill and how that skill word, but we'll go deeper in there on that skill itself. And how does he get his '' points'' back? Either slowly over time he regenerates a point back, or trough using his w (see his W for that)
His Q : This is getting interesting.. For his Q , tapping it once he shoots his other gun ( the gun he uses for his skills) at the current selected target, at the cost for one ''point'' Now if you Double tap his Q, he will shoot All of his ammo at the current selected target, This will cost all of his ''Points''.
1. tap Q once > he will shoot his ''skill'' gun once > and you loose 1 ''Ammo / bullets point'' **2.**Tap Q twice or rapidly > He will shoot all of his ''ammo / Bullets (points)'' with his ''skill'' gun. Instead of just once > But its will cost you all of your ''Points''
His W: Still here? Good! His W is a Roll. You use his W and he rolls towards where your cursor is. Nothing special here, but the other part of his roll is! So you use his W, He rolls And when he is done with his roll he gets up and quickly reloads his weapon, getting back all of his used ''Ammo / Bullets points''.
Lets say he has a Max. of 6 passive points. And you have used 3 of them. You use his W and you get 3 points back, So you're full at 6 points again. No futher explaning to do here i quess! off to his E!
His E: Now here comes the ''new and fresh'' part. because i dont believe there is something like this in-game yet. Its a ''Ricochet-shot.'' Read carefully and i hope you will understand what i mean with this skill.
When you use his E, Lets make it work like rumble's ultimate & viktor's lazor. So you use E and get this big field where you can place you skill down and make it point to a certain direction, right? I hope you get the idea of what i mean.
So when you use his E, He tosse out a coin towards where you placed it.
Pfft, this isnt new you say? Hear me out! So we've used his E and he has tossed his coin into the air. I also told you, like rumble's ulti and Viktor's lazor you can choose a direction right? Now depending on what direction you have pointed it, there is where the bullets will go.
Bullets?! but dint you say he tosses a coin?! Yes i did! let me explain! You use his E > you've picked a location and direction ( thats how the skill will work, like rumble.. blabla) > he tosses his coin towards the location. Now listen carefully You are going to use your Q on the coin. And when you do that, the bullets will ''bounce / ricochet'' off the coin and they will go towards the direction you have set the his E / the coin.
So you can use this combo to poke, use it to shoot across corners etc. use your mind and be creative. And maybe a silly easter egg for his E. Its at the cost of 1Gold.
and at last, his ultimate: I really dont have a good idea for his ultimate. The only thing i came up with for is this: when you use his R his bullets, so his ''Ammo / bullets points'' from his passive get (maybe)more range & damage, but the most important that they will be able to''Pierce'' trough what ever target for a certain amount of time. So you can shoot your Q trough evreyone and evreything and it wont be blocked out by creeps, other enemy champions etc. It hits the target, pierces trough and keeps going into that line till its max range it would go.
The End Like i said, this was just a ''Rough'' outlay of a champion idea i had. Just of how things and his skills and evreything would work.
I had fun making this and coming up with the idea for our Cowboy. Im curious of what you think of it and if you want to work it out even finer, or make atwork, be my guest! :) Sure i could say if you use his Q this way, it does less damage or whatever. But i dint want to do that. I just had this idea in my head of him and his skillset and wanted that to share with all of you.
Who knows where our cowboy will end up!
