Warlow, The Magic Cannon - Champion Concept

Lore

Warlow grew up in the outskirts of Zaun and was always fascinated by the travelers coming from the capital that seemed to always have a new gadget or gizmo that they tried to sell to the normal plains folk that he lived and worked beside. After saving up enough money to travel to the capital Warlow met the man that would change his world for the better in his eyes, Vicktor, a man that all said was the go to guy for anything Techmaturgical in nature even if his views were a little extreme. To Warlow though he found this mans words to be like a bible to him to the point where Warlow seen Vicktor as almost like a god incarnate. After Vicktor’s transformation into the machine herald it was no surprise to see Warlow follow suit in his own way, getting surgery to remove and replace his arms with Hextec robotics and infuse it with magical rounds of pure arcane energy. Warlow has now left Zaun and has followed his self proclaimed god to the League of Legends to see with his own eye’s the might of his power.

Playstyle and Counter Play

Warlow is heavy damage champion who excels at picking off low HP units and going in for short burst engages as the longer he is in a fight the less he can do with spells costing stacks of Hextec Charges instead of your normal mana reserves you see on most other champions. The system of having to use charges also make his dueling unique as he will have to auto attack minions in order to start fights. This in a way makes him a little telegraphed because if he’s farming a lot and ignoring you he is most likely saving up charges for either an all in with his basic spells or a long range ultimate kill. Although even if you know this its still not that easy to just back off as he is good at locking people down with his Q – Mind Over Matter allowing for easy engages on champions caught in the zone and can charge his Hextec Charges quickly with his W – Fast Hands while you are stuck in the zone allowing for some good trades in his favour if played right. Down fall to him is his lack of escapes with only his Q giving any kind of cc he is easy to gank not to mention if you catch him at the proper time when he is low on charges then he’s easy pickings. Main Combo would be Q-W-E and if he gets enough autos in during this time maybe even an R to finish them off.
