CHAMPION CONCEPT - Graqua, The Whirlpools Toad
Graqua is a tanky upfront AP/Mage who can disrupt fights, peel for his allies, and chase enemies in quick succession. **** His kit relies on generating water, which he can then use to cast and amplify his other abilities. Graqua can jungle, with consistent damage for clearing camps (See W) and a reliable knock back/gap closer (See E) Alternatively, Graqua can head top lane, and become a lane bully with a reliable gank escape, and decent roaming (See passive)
TLDR abilities (for you lazy pricks)
- Passive- Grants movement speed and invisibility in water Q- Summons a pool of water in a line skill shot, deals damage (based of ap and mana), and slows. This pool stays until this ability is re-casted a number of times, and casting this ability on the same area will do more damage. W- Summons a tentacle to briefly erupt from any body of water (river, or self generated). This deals damage based of ap and mana, and slows. E- Jumps to a target area, knocking back enemies relative to where you landed, if you landed in water. R- 1st cast- resets cooldown of all other abilities. 2nd cast- briefly makes nearby lakes explode, stunning enemies and dealing a lot of damage based of AP and mana.*

Passive - Aquaborn Graqua gains 50% bonus movement speed while in water (either the river, or generated by himself) Additionally, if he stands still for 2.5 seconds while in water, he will dive under the water, and turn invisible until he takes damage, or jumps out of the water to attack or enter land.
Allows for roaming, quicker jungling, and potential outplays.
Q – Spit Pulse Missile width- 400; Missile length- 1400; 50/70/90/110/130 mana; 14/13/12/11/10 seconds;
*Graqua spits out a large pool of water from his mouth in a long and wide line skill shot. This pool will stay for the next (1/1/2/2/3) spell casts of this ability, and slow enemies inside it by 50%. Enemies hit by this pool while its being summoned will take (120/150/180/210/240) + (70% AP) + (6% Max Mana) as magic damage. If this pool overlaps a previously cast one, it will deal 50% more damage.
This is your bread and butter ability. It's the only reason you will ever be useful.
W – Squid Ward Missile radius- 200; Cast range- 1200; 3 seconds; 50/45/40/35/30 mana;
*Graqua selects a target area within a body of water. After 0.2 seconds, a tentacle will erupt from the targeted area, dealing (50/80/110/140/170) + (25% AP) + (3.5% Max Mana) as magic damage, and slowing enemies by 70% for 1 second. If this kills a unit, the mana will be refunded, and the cooldown will refresh. *
This ability is where your primary source of damage comes from. It allows you to jungle reasonably well, and makes you a complete bully to any melee champion in the laning phase.
E – Cannon Ball! Cast range- 850; Landing radius - 300; 19/17/15/12/9 seconds; 80/100/120/140/160 mana;
*Graqua jumps to a target area. If he lands in water, he will knock enemies back 300 units if they are within his landing radius. This knock back will do (120/160/200/240/280) + (4% Max Mana) + (40% AP) as magic damage. This ability will refresh upon a kill or assist. *
This ability allows you to gank, escape ganks, keep consistent damage (by not letting enemies leave W range), and peel for teammates. It's also the reason you build tank.
R – Limnic Eruption 100/150/200 mana; 200/170/140 seconds;
1st cast- Graqua resets the cooldown on all of his basic abilities. 2nd cast (within 10 seconds of 1st cast)- Graqua slams into the ground. After 1.5 seconds, all bodies of water within 1200/2000/2800 units will erupt in an explosion that deals (300/500/600) + (100% AP) + (3% Max Mana) and stun enemies for 2 seconds.
The first cast ensures enemies don't have an easy escape. You can either use your second Q for massive burst damage with the amplification, or hope to fit more W casts in before the enemy leaves Q range. The second cast gives some much needed map presence as the game goes on. Its also great for a long CC chain.
