(New Champion Concept) Xyl the Survivor

Description: Xyl is a black creature with a large eye in the center that is always shut and 4 eye stocks protruding from his back. Xyl has 4 legs. Xyl's figure overall is compact with legs scrunched together against a circular mass which makes up the rest of his body.

Lore: Long ago a meteor crash landed in a noxian peasant’s backyard. The noxian known as Nigel found baby Xyl inside the meteorite. Nigel witnessed the terrifying power possessed by Xyl but also couldn't figure out anything about how it worked or for that matter how Xyl works. Nigel at first had plans to take over the world but gave up when he realized how useless Xyl was in combat. So then Nigel wanted to get rid of Xyl but gave up on that too because Xyl didn't want to leave. The more time Nigel spent with Xyl the more Nigel couldn't stand him, and it seemed the more Nigel couldn't stand him the more Xyl wanted to stay. Nigel begged everyone he knew to put a bounty on Xyl, see Nigel didn't have the money for it. Nigel tried to tell them that Xyl was a threat to Noxus but when they saw Xyl they laughed as if it were a joke. Nigel then figured since Xyl insists on following him everywhere then he was going to go to the most dangerous corners of the earth to try to off both Xyl and himself. However no matter how unlikely survival seemed Xyl could never die and neither could Nigel. Witnessing one of the most unlikely escapes a pair of Zaun scientists asked if they could take Xyl off his hands. Nigel immediately agreed. However as soon as Nigel did this Xyl was nowhere to be found. Xyl was found again by Karl years later. Karl was in the middle of trying to prepare the area for a new terror legions base. Xyl and Karl grew to respect each other but only Xyl got friendly. One of the Zaun scientists from the pair described early found the terror legions base and was going to try to steal while the legions were at the refresh ritual. The scientist snuck into the base but found he was being watched by Xyl. The scientist grew intrigued and approached Xyl out of curiosity. Xyl then spat a dark sigil from his eye and disappeared forever. The scientist realized that the sigil made it so that he could no longer process information from any of the sciences he was researching. The scientist was at first distraught but then something new emerged inside of him. Information that could not be accurate for this world.

Role: Survivor- as Xyl your only role is to survive. You should always be separate from your team and actively looking to engage the entire enemy team with no backup. For any other champion that isn't fed this is pure lunacy. However you are not looking to fight them you are looking to waste the enemy team’s time as they try to kill you. It doesn't matter how hard a situation is to escape. All your abilities are escapes so you’re basically Houdini. If the enemy team doesn't take the bait it is important to keep bothering them until they do.

Q: Desperation Bolt- Xyl fires a skill shot that knocks enemies hit by it backward and then slows them for 1/2/3/4/5 seconds. Even if the blast doesn't hit anything Xyl still suffers recoil which can recoil Xyl through walls. The damage received by the enemy hit is equal to 5/10/15/20/25 +(5% of your crit chance) true damage.

W: Enigma Escape- Xyl creates a large dark spiral beneath himself and a smaller dark spiral in a target location. Xyl cleanses himself of all cc, puts all enemies that are in the large dark spiral into stasis and warps to target location. This process takes 2/1/.5/.25/.125 seconds to happen.

E: Close Call- Xyl becomes invisible, untargetable and unable to move for 3 seconds. However black lines dart to his left and right relative to the direction Xyl was facing when his E was activated. After three seconds are up dark spirals appear from where the dark lines disappeared at and fire a beam that connects the 2 spirals. Enemies hit by this beam are stunned for 2/2.2/2.4/2.6/2.8 seconds. The beam deals damage equal to 10/20/30/40/50 +(50%AP) magic damage. After 2.5 seconds the spirals form again and fire a second beam that slows enemies by 71/72/73/74/75% for 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 seconds. The second beam does damage equal to 10/20/30/40/50 +(50%AP)+(5% of your crit chance) mixed damage (50/50 split).

R: Cryptic Mojo- Toggle ability. Grey waves are pulsed from Xyl. These waves slow enemies hit by them the slow increases the closer they are to Xyl and lessens the farther away they get. The slow goes from 1% at the end to an 88/99/(slow reaches 99 at a farther distance)%.

Passive: The Survivor- If Xyl is the only champion alive on his team he transforms becoming untargetable and unable to move during the transformation. Xyl’s legs stretch away from his body and he sprouts 2 extra legs. While transforming lightning strikes him which travels to the eyestocks which strike the ground discharging the energy. Electric current arcs across the eye stocks in this form. After Xyl completes his transformation he gains +50% bonus movement speed for the next 5 seconds. Xyl also gains a new set of abilities.

The Survivor’s Q: Alternative Rays- Upon pressing Q Xyl fires 3 consecutive skill shots in rapid succession. Alternative rays DO NOT knock back enemies. If hit by only one of the skill shots target is slowed for 25% for allotted time (look for Q above) and receive 20/25/30/35/40 +(25% of your crit chance) true damage. If hit by 2 skill shots then the target is slowed for 50% and receives 5/10/15/20/25 +(20% of your crit chance) true damage in addition to the damage from the first shot. If hit by all three skill shots the target will be stunned for .5 seconds and slowed by 99% afterwards. The third shot deals damage equal to 10/20/30/40/50 +(50% of your crit chance) true damage. Each skill shot has a chance to crit increasing its damage and consecutive hit with each skill shot increases the crit chance of the following skill shot by and additional 10%.

The Survivor’s W: Final Witness- the same as Enigma escape except with better range. And can be reactivated to target any enemy in stasis and warp them right in front of Xyl. On second cast Xyl opens his main eye emitting a golden light and channels for 1 second.

The Survivors E: Spiral Beam- the same as Close Call. But the dark beam persists as a solid beam that rapidly stuns enemies hit by it each tick refreshing the stun. Each tick deals (6/7/8/9/10%AP) mixed damage (50/50 split). The solid beam can also stop skill shots and other ranged projectiles like Yasuo’s wind wall. However unlike Yasuo’s wind wall spiral beam reflects projectiles back in the direction they came from.

The Survivors R: Sole Survivor- Same as Cryptic Mojo, but gains 2 additional effects. The first is that whenever Xyl receives damage while this ability is active he gains +10% bonus movement speed. The second is if an enemy is in Sole Survivor’s range for more than 2 seconds than all invisibility and camo abilities are disabled until they are out of range for 2 seconds. If enemy entered range invisible or camo than their stealth is removed.

When picked states: “I am constantly on the verge of giving up… everything that I stand for”

Also says: “Weakness… Strength… the capability to turn strength into weakness is the best of both worlds” “I stand at the brink of weakness” “Life depends on more life to exist… all feats depend on their source… lost to my source… unable to reclaim dependence on it… that is my greatest sorrow” “When we become alien to the very cause and effect that governs the sources around you that is when we are truly lost”

When transforming says: “Life line synchronized” “A series of low pitch clicks” “I must never know this purpose or be forever lost”

When killed says: “just barely weak enough” “Some error just barely out of reach...” “So close”
