Lars, the Ace Archer

Description: Before reading, I need you guys to take a look at this video to see what this concept is based on. Forgotten Archery techniques, all practiced by Lars Andersen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEG-ly9tQGk

Stats: Attack - 90% Health - 35% Magic - 20% Difficulty - 80%

Attributes: Primary - Marksman Secondary - Fighter

Abilities: Passive - Resourceful Each time Lars shoots an arrow with either his basic attacks or abilities, he can pick these arrows back up by walking over them before they disappear in 2 seconds. Collecting these arrows will increase Lars's movement speed, and attack speed for 2 seconds and will lower the cool down of his abilities. (It's like how collects his slime as he uses his abilities). If these arrows were stuck an enemy, he can simply move next to the enemy to pull the arrow back out, dealing 30% true damage. (Ouch).

First Ability - Triple Shooter Lars pulls out three arrows at once. On the next basic attack, Lars will shoot his three arrows rapidly at his target. It does not deal additional damage. It only let's Lars use faster basic attack. Each arrow deals damage with critical chances independently.

Second Ability - Distant Shot Lars stands in place to shoot a quick distant shot which can deal tons of physical damage if it lands perfectly on the enemy. This is a very hard skill shot ability. The target must be directly at the center. The longer the distance, the more damage it deals.

Third Ability - Deflecting Shot While active, the next projectile shot by an enemy champion will be deflected by Lars's arrow when it reaches half way between Lars and the shoot. The arrow shot by Lars will continue to fly and deal damage to the first enemy that gets hit.

Ultimate - Combat Archery For 8 seconds, Lars gains additional movement speed and can move over small terrain. Moving over high terrain will make Lars jump even further. Moving against a large terrain will cause Lars to wall kick depending on the angle of where he moves towards the wall. While this is active, none of Lars's attacks will hinder his movement so he can continue shooting arrows while he's moving.

Special Passive - Return to sender. An enemy Lars or other enemy archers such as and that land their arrows on Lars can also be used for Lars's passive. (If were to use Hail of Arrows, Lars has a bunch of arrows to collect.)

Synergy:

• Works Well With: Lars can follow Bard as he wanders through the jungle, providing him some cover as he collects his chimes. He could even fire his arrows while taking a Magical Journey to the other side. As you get close, you need to get as much protection as possible. That's why Kayle's Intervention proves very useful, especially when firing your arrows behind enemy lines. Lars tends to be quick in combat. The more faster he is, the better he performs. Zilean can help him out by hasting him with Time Warp. Lars could shoot his arrows faster while in effect.

• Struggles Against: You can shoot fast but you gotta have a good shot with both eyes. Unfortunately Teemo can blind them both with his blinding darts. You'll have to depend on Distant Shot which has a little chance of landing depending on your aim. Quinn can also blind you with her bird, Valor with Blinding Assault. Scumbag birds can be a real pain. You would want to shoot them down instead. Speed is important so it's imperative that you avoid being slowed. Unfortunately, Nasus could really slow you down with Wither. You won't be able to free run over terrain, not while your body ages.

Tips:

• Playing as Lars > Collect as much arrows as possible. They can also be used to increase movement speed to help evade attacks. > Combat Archery is especially important for chasing and running. You can continue to kite your chaser as you run from them so you can soon turn the tide of battle. > You can stack as much arrows on a single target as possible. Once you are done, grab the arrows and you'll deal tons of damage. Make sure the cursor clicks ahead of them instead of at them.

• Playing against Lars > Lars is very fragile. If he is slowed, there's your chance to strike him down in only a few seconds. > Do not touch Lars if you have been struck by his arrows. Keep your distance until the arrow is safely removed. > Lars cannot pick up his arrows from his target if it is using melee attacks. Melee fighters are more likely to have a better advantage when attacking Lars.

Lore: Ever since guns were invented, ancient archery has been long forgotten. Those who would practice the use of a bow and arrow do not realize that they are using it wrong. Including the Queen, m whom was not aware of her misuse of her frost bow.

Lars, a young archer who has practiced the modern use of bows and arrows has always been overwhelmed by the gun wielders. They would always take out more targets than Lars could ever take out. He could even shoot one arrow.

No matter the case, Lars still tried to do better as an archer. But he did things the smart way.

He did some research on some of the archers of ancient time. He notices that pictures of them showed how they use a bow and arrow different. Modern archers would shoot arrows from their left side of the bow. Ancient archers would shoot arrows from their right side of the bow. Lars practiced this technique and discovered how effective it was compared to modern archery. Later, he discovered how ancient archers would hold their arrows from the bow hand as they shoot which evolved into holding the arrows from the draw hand, compared to modern archers who shoot arrows straight from their quiver. He began practicing. It was hard to master but Lars was able to overcome the difficulties behind these techniques and later mastered the ways of ancient archery.

He eventually became a very lethal archer and started working as a mercenary for escorts or assassinations. Because of his practice, he seemed very untouchable. No gunner was able to land a bullet on him.

This caught the attention of beginners and wanted to learn more about Lars's techniques. It took Lars years to perfect them and he is willing to teach them to future students. Soon, he even lets them study his actions in the Fields of Justice.

"Bows and Arrows aren't as effective as Guns and Bullets but that does not mean Archery is dead. It's just long forgotten or done incorrectly for too long." - Lars

Quotes:

• Attacking "Quick and Efficient." "The head or the knee?" "Into both eyes." "To fast for ya?" "This is how you do it." "I'll need them back."

• Movement "Is this the right way?" "Make it quick." "I've spent years practicing." "Want to shoot an apple or a flying arrow?" "Guns are overrated. I'm a bowman myself." "Speed is important. Hitting targets are essential."

• Taunt "This is how real archers do it. Quick and Lethal."

• Joke "The last time I learned modern archer from an adventurer, he ended up being a guard for the rest of his life. . . You'll learn why once you ask him."

• Dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFLkuxDhzxk

• Taunt "You're doing it wrong. Hold the arrow like this."

• Taunt "Go ahead and shoot. I can split those bullets in half if I have to."

• Taunt "Crossbows? You know that's cheating, right?"

Okay, I'm done here. I could use some reviews on this concept about now. What do you guys think? Can Riot pull this off? What do you think makes this concept work? I'll be happy to read from you down below. Oh and whatever you see on that video far above, use caution when practicing. This is real elite archery we're talking about here.
