Background/Lore: Sketch is a stick figure, brought to life from a piece of paper. He picked up a pencil to defend himself, after his creator Vassakin was executed by Vayne for dabbling in black magic. He left his city, becoming a freelance artist. He tried to forget, tried to move on from it all and lead a normal life as an artist, but he could not overcome his anger and hatred for Vayne for killing his creator. Therefore, after training with Master Yi in the art of fighting with a sword, he entered the League, pencil and sharpener in hand, finally ready to confront his nemesis.


Passive: "Dulling Blade"

  • Every 3rd auto attack decreases Sketch's attack damage by 1.

Q: "Freehand"

  • Sketch jumps into the air, draws a squiggle of any shape or design, for a maximum distance of (300/350/400/450/500), dealing 100 + (30/35/40/45/50% AD), and lands where the squiggle ends. Sketch also loses (6/7/8/9/10) points towards Dulling Blade upon using this ability.

(To clarify what this is, First think about Fizz' Playful/Trickster, and how he can jump from one point to another, and then instead of being invulnerable, he jumps to the end of an AD version of Viktor's laser, that instead of being forced to be a straight line, can be drawn in whatever wild pattern or design that you please, such as a circle, an S, a W, a U, or any other odd shape. The point is, you draw it. and wherever the drawing ends, thats where Sketch lands.)

Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds Mana Cost: 60/70/80/90/100 mana


W: "Pencil Smash"

  • Sketch jumps up, draws a quick circle in the targeted area that lasts for 6 seconds or until Sketch leaves the circle, then slams into the center, dealing AOE damage worth (60/70/80/90/100) + (30/35/40/45/50%) bonus AD, and slowing all targets for (20/30/40/50/60%) while they are in the circle. If an enemy is hit by Pencil Smash, Sketch's attack speed and mobility is boosted by (20/25/30/35/40%) for 4 seconds or while in the circle, whichever is longer. Sketch loses 6 points to Dulling Blade upon using this ability.

(To clarify what this is, Imagine Aatrox's jump. Now, envision the AOE effect to be a little bit larger, but take longer to create. Sketch jumps up into the air towards a target location, quickly draws a large circle while in the air, to signify the Pencil Smash area, then slams down into the center of the circle he drew. The circle stays there, similar to Shen's AOE circle thing, until 6 seconds are passed, or Sketch leaves the circle.)

Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds Mana Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana Range: 650 Effective Radius: 350


E: "Sharpen"

  • Active: Sketch stands still in one place as he sharpens Pencil for 2 seconds, restoring all AD removed by Dulling Blade. For every point of AD that is restored, Sketch loses 1 point from his current attack range, due to Pencil being shortened by Sharpener. Backing restores Pencil's length. If he moves, attacks, takes damage, or uses an ability during the 2 second sharpening period, it cancels all the sharpening done, and Sharpen must be recast.

  • Passive: The shorter Sketch's Pencil is, the easier it is to move. Sketch gains 1.5% attack speed for every (3/3/2/2/1) missing points in range.

Cooldown: 60/55/50/45/40 seconds Mana Cost: 20 mana


R: "Artist"

  • Sketch uses Pencil to draw one of four things: A Shield, A Sword, A Rifle, or a Rocket Launcher, based on the direction Sketch draws his ult. (Similar to pinging)

    • R Down: "Artist: Shield"

      • Sketch Draws himself a shield that surrounds him for (5/6/7) seconds, reducing the damage taken by (60/70/80%), then re-casts R onto a target ally, surrounding them for (3/3.5/4) seconds, reducing their damage taken by (50/60/70%).
    • R Left: "Artist: Sword"

      • Sketch Draws himself a sword and wields it for (5/6/7) seconds, doubling his attack speed, and every second attack deal bonus (30/40/50) AD. Dulling Blade is only applied every other auto attack during Artist: Sword.
    • R Up: "Artist: Rifle"

      • Sketch Draws himself a rifle and wields it for (5/6/7) seconds or until canceled, granting him (550/600/650) range on his attacks.
    • R Right: "Artist: Critical Strike"

      • Sketch Draws himself a rocket launcher, placing it where he is standing and being rooted, and is able to fire (3/4/5) rockets at infinite range, dealing 60% of Sketch's AD and 40% of Sketch's AP and guaranteeing to Crit.

Cooldown: 140/130/120 Mana Cost: 100/125/150


Quotes:

  • Selection in Champ Select:

"Art... As a weapon for revenge... it's beautiful, isn't it?"

  • When Moving

"Draw them out!" "My art form will not be stopped." "No barrier can keep me from what I want." "Nothing can stop this art." "I... am art itself." "From the simplest sheet of paper can come the greatest of heroes." "I was born from a scrap of paper... but now..." "Why do people run from me? I am ART!" "I am art. I... am beautiful." "I am art... that creates more art." "I am art.. that hunts." "I fight... for Vassakin."

  • When Attacking

"Whack!" "Art fights back!" "Wham!" "Boom!" "Hurts... doesn't it?" "Damage... TONS of Damage..." "Feel my pain!" "Experience my Anger!"

  • Recalling

Sketch draws a large slingshot, aimed at the base, loads Pencil into it, pulls it back, hops on, and FIRES!

"Time to head back and reforge my Pencil."

  • Taunt

Sketch draws a stick figure, points at it for a second, then cuts it's head off with Pencil.

"You there. See this guy? ...this is you in 5 seconds." "Let's take a picture together... just kidding. What a tragic accident." "Look! I drew a portrait of you! ...oops! I totally didn't mean to do that." "This is what I imagine a fight with you is like... swoosh! so easy."

Enemy Vayne

"Oh Vanye... you made a big mistake in not ERASING me..." "Vayne... if only you could see how ridiculously SIMILAR this looks to your death." "Oh look. Look! It's you! ...uh oh.. did you lose your head Vayne? You poor thing..."

"I have been in your story... Seriously. Look at the graphic on page 74." "I don't actually have a pencil sharpener with me... It just appears out of thin air whenever I want."

  • Dance

Sketch draws a boombox and a lady, plays a ballroom song, then gracefully ballroom dances with the lady

Looks dope

Pretty dope but the stick needs character

Shárpie1 votes

What do you mean by character? Unique aspects about his personality that make him relatable?

LeifTheExplorer2 votes

Yes please. Also I like the idea of a passive that actually can harm you. He seems like a very high skill cap champion which would require a lot of practice but could make sweet plays. However, I think that the R "Shield" will never be picked. It should be buffed a bit.

I only have a small idea of what Q and W do, would you be able to reiterate on the skill? It was kind of confusing.

BTW, please include cooldowns! It will help in deciding whether or not his skills are balanced.

Does he use mana? If so, please include mana costs.

His E should have a minimum range. Say... 125? Then, dulling blade should be disabled. Because the champion model will eventually become your attack range and you won't actually be able to autoattack.

Overall nice idea!

BTW could you check out my champion concept? I've been working hard on it, and would enjoy your critique! It's always appreciated. Nonmur, the Water Thaumaturge

I agree. His Artist: Shield looked quite weak. I went in and fixed that. (Perhaps the new best top laner for the Kog'Maw comp? KogMaw )

I finally took the time to write in all the mana costs, now that I'm home. I finished the champ concept while I was on a field trip, so that was all written via smartphone, and was no fun whatsoever.

I also clarified his abilities a bit more.

I personally do not see the reason as to why the passive is a negative effect

But I love everything else.

Although the ultimate is a bit doofy

What about the ultimate is doofy? I like the idea that he is a creative artist. Heck, he is art itself. I thought it would be cool that he can create a different 'stance' for his ultimate, based on what the scenario demands.
