What happens when you combine 19 awesome entries, a few equally awesome volunteers and 2 weeks of patient waiting? The CCOS results of course! (The other acceptable answer is jello, long story)

But before we go anywhere, be sure to toss out a thanks to the cool people that make this whole thing possible!

Bearly Leah and Auryiel!

#The winner of the December CCOS is......

#Taifun, King of Murai by Raptamei at 165/200 points (82.5%), Congratulations!!

And thanks to volunteer Akenero, you will also be receiving an artist's service for your winning concept!! Woot! (@Raptamei, please e-mail me at '[email protected] so I can get you two in touch)

#Runner ups

|Place|Concept|Author|Score| |- | 2 | Avalon, The Heart of Swords | ShatteredSkys | 162/200 (81%) | | 3 | Hauron, The Stag Lord | Fury and Emporer | 160/200 (80%) | | 4 | Deus Mortem, The Abomination | Regonas | 156/200 (78%) | | 5 | Shira, Valkyrie of the Eclipse | DarkFoxes | 155/200 (77.5%) |

#Looking up your score

Step 1) Open up the nexus score sheet HERE (Give a little time to load once you're in) Step 2) If wanted check out the 'Overview' Tab (the one you enter on) to see your score compared to the others. Step 3) Find your concept name in a tab below (you may need to hit the right arrow on the bottom right a few times. Step 4) Look around at the feedback and scores given on your concept

  • NOTE 1: Due to technical limitations I was not able to give the judges per-category feedback, so all of their overall feedback is the 'lore' section. But it will be ready and available for December!
  • NOTE 2: The 'Structured Feedback' column is automatically formatting based on your average category score and where that landed you in the rubric. The Rubric will be updated regularly with community input
  • NOTE 3: Just to reiterate, I was a judge, but I was not able to get to all the concepts this month, and for that I apologize. However I did leave the feedback I did get to in the sheet anyway.

Reminder: CCOS Updates!

With a new year comes new changes! If you have not been keeping an eye on the CCOS for the last two months you may not have noticed a few discussions on some upcoming changes. Or rather, previously upcoming because they are now in effect.

The changes themselves:

#Scoring Changes

|---Wt---|----------Category----------|---------------------------------Description-----------------------------------| |- | 20 | Lore| The overall feel and description of your champion as a personality. | | 25 | Flow/Fun | How a character's abilities/kit feel to play with as well as against. | | 20 | Design Implementation | How well your champion's kit fulfills its goal. (i.e. Assassins assassinating, tanks tanking, etc.)| | 20 | Novelty | The uniqueness and niche areas that your champion has made for itself in its background and kit. | | 15 | Cohesiveness | How well your champion ties into itself. Kit into character and vice versa. | | 10 | Good Neighbor Bonus | An extra possible 10 points for if you gave feedback to another entrant. |

#Five judge limit

I will no longer have the option to display more than five judges in a month. I am always happy to take volunteers but should more than 5 judges finish their scores in a month I will choose the best 5 judge results based on quality of the specific feedback only.

New outsourced archive (Coming Soon)

Anyone checking the CCOS Archive may have noticed it's sorely out of date currently. This is because I am in the midst of moving everything to a Google Sheet (like the judging sheets) for three reasons. First for more formatting options, second for a better and easier access than a very fat Boards post and thirdly for the eventual ability to hand ownership over to another person should I need to. (Hint: I am graduating VT this May and might not be able to keep this going afterwards)

Hello, I'm one of the judges for this month (the mean one). If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask.

Also, I wanna quickly point out that my comment about Taifun's lore is not actually mine. There seems to have a been a small error there :P

To both judges, thank you so much! I cannot tell you how great it is to get such awesome feedback on a champion concept. To be honest, Martin did WAY better than I thought he was going to do, but I've got a long way to go. Definitely going to keep creating champions and learn from this experience. I will likely go back and fix Martin up again in the future, but for now I've got a lot of other ideas waiting to be explored. Looking forward to the next time!

Auryiel pulled darkfoxes on me :D (that is new saying meaning that a person evaluated someone worse than it should be and given lower scores than other people). Well, it doesn't matter, it is not like i spend time here anymore.

#Lore I get lower score, because my champion is isolated from "pretty much everything from the game" and it is too long. K. Well, lets see: my champion is connected to Volibear Viktor Sejuani and even Lissandra (if you know her lore). How he is disconnected? yes, there are a lot of things about him that isn't part of current lore, but that is how champion concepts work. Also, i get lower points for writing better/longer lore and trying to make champion with interesting backstory? That's just darkfoxes right here. Which new champion have long interesting lore right now? You punished for making long lore? C'mon.

#Kit Another darkfoxes moment right here. You say that his passive is "overtuned", but somehow you forgot that there is even stronger passive in the game with similar healing. Trundle have stronger healing, he doesn't even need to kill enemies personally, he even heals from champion deaths, he heals from jungle monsters and his heal is ranged. He doesn't have to pick anything. How weaker passive is "overtuned" Explain. You can't, can you? Worried that Q is "almost no one can actually interact with said mechanic"? Newsflash: Alistar Bard Janna Kayle Kindred Nami Nidalee Sona Soraka Taric summoner 7 item 3222 you are dead wrong. W. Lets ignore, that you are against only chance to have sustain against ranged champion. I can even begin to explain, why it needs to have have larger radius. This "judge" don't get, that if this ability would have smaller radius, then multiple phantoms would be constantly attacking same enemy, blocking paths and doing other horrible things. "that means phantoms are very easy to walk around" yes, that is what counter-play means. You mean champion should have abilities with no counter-play? Why are you allowed to judge? E. Range is and should be low. It is hard CC and it can be mirrored by R. Why it should have bigger range? Ant there is obviously "good" and "bad" choices: 2 sec silence or 2.5 sec taunt. On silence, you still can move. On taunt, you can't do anything and even walk towards an enemy. R. This pet/summon is supposed to be tank taking damage as living shield and engage tool. It have high magic resist so that he wouldn't be instantly bursted from range. Also, most or mage champs have no magic resist scalings, so why it is bizzare that pet don't have magic resist scaling? And, just wow, you wonder why flesh eating zombie mutant monster can summon zombie pet? He tears parts of his body, infects flesh of dead dragon and raise him as an undead servant. Does that comes out from nowhere? Entire lore was one key thing: he eats the dead and takes on powers from the strongest dead bodies. That's why dragon gets stronger with epic monsters kills (no, seriously, why this person was allowed to judge?). Why i need to explain my champion, when all explanations were already in his lore: HE ABSORBS THE DEAD. Overall. Judge isn't sure what zombie monster suppose to be or do... Then why are you judging, if you don't understand? Judge's problems:

  1. No cohesion in kit. Pfff :D Q interacts with itself and with R; W interacts with passive, Q and R; E interacts with R; R interacts with Q, W, E and your team via epic monster kills. There is literally no other champion with more coherent kit in the game.
  2. He have too mush sustain. Pff yet again. Aatrox Chogath DrMundo Fiddlesticks Garen Hecarim Illaoi Irelia Maokai Morgana Nidalee Nasus Swain Taric Trundle Tryndamere Vladimir Warwick XinZhao Yorick have better sustain and some of them even deals damage while sustaining.
  3. His damage is low and easily avoided, he is melee with no mobility. He is hybrid tank. Should he have high mobility and high damage? Wtf? This judge don't get the difference between tank/bruiser and assassin. Why. in the god's name, should mid-range bruiser/tank should have high mobility and high damage? And why abilities with counter-play options are bad, according to you? P.S. he does have pretty high DPS when fighting together with his dragon. He just lacks BURST damage

Long story short, Auryiel said what he disliked and explained why he have lower score. However, those explanations are not justified. This person don't know what he is talking about and pushes people (well at least me) for good things. He dislikes abilities with counter-play options, he dislikes long and complex lore, and he thinks that some abilities are "overtuned" when there are even stronger abilities in the game. He even comments on abilities (Q) when he knows nearly nothing on the actual game and existing champion's.

In conclusion, i am not mad or anything. I am just annoyed that i got punished for good things and that judge pulled darkfoxes on me. It is disappointing to see my and everyone's else concepts judged by incompetent people. No further explanations is needed, because it is clear why i get score like that.

I am... Kinda disappointed with my result :/. Well...looks like the bar I set want quite high enough :P

Onto the next one!

Wow.... So close yet so far..... Well guess i can't really complain, this was my first ever concept so getting second place on my first go at the CCOS is pretty nice. I'm not really happy with my overall score guess I've still got a ways to go:P, anyway definelty had a ton of fun participating in this CCOS I'm looking forward to the next one ^_^

Also I'm curious how I got a 9 for sharing? i reviewed at least 4 kits, Reis(Twice), Martin, Sera, Vennesia, and heck I reviewed the original Turiya concept( This was before the CCOS so it doesn't count.)

Um, what's the problem with a global auto attack...?

Statikin1/18/2016, 6:03:37 AM1 votes

Hmmm I really thought I would get higher than that. Anyways, a small observation, Auryiel, more critical or what? I'm Not accusing them of anything or attacking them, it just seems that overall they scored lower for everyone compared to Bearly Leah.

Dis The Chris1/18/2016, 9:48:53 AM1 votes

I'm not sure if I want to be a judge next contest or contestant... We'll check soon.

Vorazun1/18/2016, 10:14:27 AM1 votes

Btw, whatever happened to TheTarians and The Jhin? I thought they were judging too?

Chaotic Reks1/18/2016, 2:18:44 PM1 votes

That Zac VU almost looks realistic 20/10

shadowsaotome1/18/2016, 4:36:00 PM1 votes

I've been on a wild run over the past four hours on a new concept thanks to this contest, lol. Can't wait to wrap this champion up, hope I get him done in time for the next ccos. 25th, right?

RiotRiot Bearly Leah1/18/2016, 6:44:17 PM1 votes

Hey guys! I'm the other (nice? lol) judge. I'm slightly late, but if anyone has questions, feel free to ask away! :)

Great job to everyone, you guys always amaze me with your creativity and effort in these concepts. Glad to be a judge again!

What is CCOS? o.O

Aqua47481/19/2016, 2:36:25 AM1 votes

Auryiels comments were so harsh don't think I can do another CCOS entry

Excuse me while I go cry in a corner.....

Um anyway I think I got 6th, but I'm not entirely sure. I did get a perfect(?) score on originality, so I do think that's good

Other then that I think I have a good idea for my third paladin, and this time were going do the most complex shi(z) you have ever seen.

But I always get marked down for boring abilities maybe I should do something like Shen where he has some boring abilities and some not.. wait.....

Until next time

YAAAAY results :D I didn't get in the top five, but i wan't really that proud of my concept to begin with...i have a much better one for this month already :D (when will the next entry round start?) All in all i love this contest and i love everyone that makes it happen!!! keep up the good work!!!

Your Starchild1/21/2016, 3:56:45 PM1 votes

How do I apply for this contest to be considered 'in'.

I think I read somewhere that i just post on a thread that will be posted soon. (25th I think?) But I just want to be sure and get a direct answer.

DesolationKaizer1/17/2016, 6:03:16 PM1 votes

Fairly happy with my results, considering I didn't really do the reviewing aspect of other people's concepts. (Busy) Really happy considering that this was my first real concept, as well as my first CCOS

The HeraId1/17/2016, 6:18:57 PM1 votes

I am just fine with my results, I don't even care I didn't make it, this thing made me go far beyond what i typically do for these competitions. Congrats to the Victors!

Edit: In hindsight I am overall quite disappointed with my concept compared to my results. I feel my lore is poor(every time I read it, I hate it more :P), the only ability I like of his kit is his W. I will just go back to my blood thirsty maniac champions. They are more fun to make. xD
