welp, here we go again!! another attempt at making a champion + practicing my drawing skills! this time it's not a yordle (hey, growth xD) though it's still on the furry side. The idea came to me a while ago when I read about a penguin champion and the idea of animals that weren't ferocious being in LoL started to go through my head, naturally I took inspiration in current champions like Warwick and Rengar, mostly the latter since his whole being is thought around the fact that he's half lion. So I took one of the cutest animals I know and decided to work with ta-da! Bunnies... I mean... Rabbits!!!!
As for the concept per se I focused on the fact that rabbits have really strong legs in order to leap around and that's when I realized that LoL had a lack of champions focused on kicks (though I later discovered a surmount of kicking/jumping skills that are currently implemented on the game) and that led me to the character whose kicks are legendary amongst gamers! Chun-li! from there on I started looking at female characters from fighting games like Ling xiaoyu and Sonya Blade as well and soon enough I had a kit in mind that I think would work nicely.
As for her lore she'd be from Ionia though nobody would be able to explain why or when she was born in there, the streets of Ionia suddenly had a little rabbit girl going around begging for food, her ears were cute at first but once she started running away from every shelter they started mistrusting her, to the point of calling her a demon or as she was best know, the daughter of corruption, until that one day she made it through as the winner of an Ionian tournament held by Irelia, though no one celebrated her victory, the high commander of Ionia made sure everyone knew her by a new name, the flaming kick of Ionia. From that day onwards Spica's goals changed, she stopped trying to prove herself that she could be strong and started trying to convince other people just like Irelia that she was good and trustworthy, she swore to protect the city that misjudged her for one day they'll realize who she really is.
Now onto the kit itself!
P: Hop Kick Spica doesn't run, she hops instead and every X units she smashes the ground dealing Y+total AD physical damage in a small area around herself.
Q: Spinning Kick Spica turns upside down and spins with her legs extended kicking around dealing %total AD and dashing a small distance towards the cursor while spinning. Her attack speed value determines how many times she spins thus how many times she'll deal damage. If her AS is less than 1 she'll deal damage only if she actually kicks the enemy with one of her legs.
W: Counter Kick Spica stands still for a brief time, if she receives damage from a skill while in this stance she'll spellshield it and gain a jump for 3 seconds. The jump applies a 30% slow in an area around her when she lands and if hop is available she'll deal its damage.
E: Multiple Kick Spica remains in place and kicks multiple times in a 60º cone with increased attack range dealing %total AD physical damage every 0,25 seconds. Her attack speed value increases the ratio at which she deals damage up to 0,1 seconds (2.5 AS). This skill will remain active for as long as the button is held, consuming mana each 0,25 seconds.
R: Corkscrew Kick Spica charges straight forward in a corkscrew motion dealing X+Bonus AD physical damage to each enemy she hits plus gaining armor penetration based on how many enemies were damaged. The range on this skill can be increased by holding down the button but its casting time will always remain the same.
WELL WELL WELL!! this is the end to a crazy amount of time I invested thinking about this character and its caveats, maybe it's because I made it but I really, REALLY like her kit, she's balanced around moving and stopping strategically through her skills and I'd love it for riot to take a look at it... sigh, anyway I'll be posting this on the champion concepts forum and see if it gets some traction :P thanks for reading or just watching the pretty, strong, bunny... RABBIT lady! she hates to be called bunny <.<
