'Ah Mar the beastmaster

The two primary motivations for this champion are that league has most of archetypes covered. One that is sorely missing, especially since the malzahaar changes, are the beastmaster. Also, there are no true support void champions (we all know velkoz is a midlaner). And so this is a void support.

Personality: unlike most void that are hunters that just want to kill or consume and destroy 'Ah Mar is a leader of the strong and foolish. In lore they take advantage of others strengths with her cunning to accomplish said destruction. She is manipulative, witty, and alpha. This champion is not beta like janna, supporting draven to win lane. They use draven to destroy the enemy botlane. Which is again, a type of champion we have yet to see. The closest thing to a support that is in charge would be braum who frankly is just a bodyguard. And pyke who is essentially not in charge of the lane, or in a position of subordination, hes just an assassin.

Appearance: doesnt matter. Whoever can find a way to make cthulu look like a cute league void girl DM me. If not, INSERT baron nashors nephew or my mom. Its irrelevent

Passive-enemy auto attacked by a beast loses 10-50 armor and MR for 2 seconds. The same champion cannot be effected for 15 seconds by this passive. Q- passive1 Enemies within 300-800 units of summoned void beast lose 20% movement speed AA speed and tenacity Passive2 Allies within 300-800 units of summoned void beast gain 10% AD or AP adaptive. Active Toggles between passives, only one active at a time. CD 5 seconds

W- summon void beast one (think Skag from borderlands type of void dog beast). A mobile creature that is controllable and specializes in positioning. has a melee AA. Leveling this ability increases summons duration, base stats, matures beast from adolescent to mature form

E- summon void beast two. Must be within 300 units of summoner and is uncontrollable. flys above using long range auto attacks. (Void pterodactyl boi) Leveling this ability increases summon duration/base stats, beast goes from adolescent to mature when leveling.

R- void beastmaster converts all nearby non ultimate minions including malzahaar minions, lane minions, jungle camps into void melee or ranged minions depending on what it was prior.

  • Literally made it up as I went. This champion would use mana and have lots of cooldowns I dont want to think about that or base stats tho. I imagine in order to balance this they would be on the squishier side, lack mobility, and potentially no hard cc, just slows.

'Ah mar is Arabic for Red. I chose arabic be cause void names remind me of arabic. And red is a nod to the pokemon master.

Flashback Zed Leblanc Ahri Ekko Fizz Katarina Akali Kassadin ... Yeeaahhh I'ma stay support with my poor little immobile squishy Vel'Koz. People also flame you for not roaming when you lane against a Talon or TwistedFate, even though they should know you can't keep up with them and will lose farm. Right now mid lane is a nightmare for Vel.

Even if this DID get balanced, it wont be added in, THE SOLE REASON being riot doesnt like these kinds of champions or mechanics because riot hates fun. They hate DoT champions, summoners, and drain tanks and are actively (for most) trying to get rid of them. Sole exceptions being swain, yorick, cassio, and brand. I mean look what they did to malz minions, i know they weren't supposed to do most of his dmg, but they gutted them and left them to rot, and took away anything that could make an ad malz build or anything fun. Honestly its a waste of a spell slot imo.

Hello! Chubby here with some insight on your character! First and foremost I want to thank you for noticing that we have yet to see an official Void champion fill the support role. My hats off to you. With that being said, there are a few issues we must tackle before we can consider 'Ah Mar as a viable champion for Riot's champion roster. We should probably start with the champion appearance- which should be monster-like in all sense of what the Void is suppose to portray. There are no void champions that are humanaoid, except for Kaisa but she was human to begin with, so I find it hard to digest that this champion would look remotely human without some explanation. That can easily be changed with good lore and background. Perhaps the champion is actually a parasite that took over the body of a charming woman? (Might I say that this would open up ** A LOT** of options for skills since this champion could easily take over a new body to match the skin concept). But let's move onto the actual kit!

Before we begin I would like to address 'Ah Mar's lack of true support potential. I don't mean to bash on the creation, this is not my intention, I would simply like to point out that she doesn't have a clear defining aspect that points her into the support role. Her debuff/buff on her Q is the only redeeming quality if she were to go bot lane as a support. Otherwise, I would think she belongs in the top lane or jungle- just given the nature of her current kit. None the less, let's dive right in!

  • Passive: A classic armor/MR reduction ability. Not too bad but a little under powered if you ask me. Perhaps we could add a stacking mechanic that will allow for the ability to stack over time. This, in turn, would allow more counter play and would make it hard for your opponents to ignore your pets. Making sure that they can contribute to the fight will also give them clarity and will help in portaying 'Ah Mar's command over the lane. We could also beef it up to a total of 40 stat reduction over the course of 5 stacks, with each stack reducing stats by 8.

  • Q: I address this ability a while ago, but I have some suggestions to spice up the interaction of this ability. For starters, the potential perma-slow on this ability is BROKEN lol. If you manage to get your pet to stick on to an enemy champion they will be debuffed until they get the pet off them, which I'm sure is what 'Ah Mar would like since that would mean they focus the pet instead of her and she can whittle them down while they try to run away. The second portion of this ability is also kinda underwhelming. I know a lot of people have commented that this champion would be broken... but with this design she honestly needs buffs lol. 10% increase stats is 1/5 of what Yummi contributes with her W... and Yummi's W is already regarded as a borderline useless ability. What I propose is simple: remove the second portion of the ability (buffing) and make this an active ability! It would work similar to how Voli's roar works. Everyone around your pet would be debuffed for X amount of seconds. This way, you remove the perma-slow potential that I KNOW for a fact players would try to abuse, and you allow more counter play. Just a suggestion.

  • W & E: I'll talk about both of these abilities at the same time since they are basically the same. Essentially, you summon a pet lol. I love the concept and I don't think much needs to change in regards to the imagery of a "beast master" but I would like to suggest a mechanical change. Make these two abilities the same ability. Let me explain! There is no reason to have these two abilities be separate when they share the same goal in mind and function in a similar fashion (which is to summon a pet). You can make this a toggled ability (think Twisted Fate's Pick a Card) that allows you to choose which pet you would like to summon. This would clean up 'Ah Mar's kit a bit AND, this is the big one ALLOW HER TO HAVE A NEW ABILITY!! :D :D :D :D :D

So you know how I mentioned that this champion had little support capabilities? Well if you take the above suggestion it totally frees up a new spell slot!! One that could be used to highlight more support capabilities! Maybe an AoE shield that originates from her pet, or perhaps a heal that she can use that requires her to sacrifice her pet! This would allow for her ruthless leader persona to shine through in-game play by showing that she is willing to do what ever it takes to win, even if it means sacrificing her pets. Something to think about, but by no means should it overshadow your character concept. Just a suggestion!

  • R: I have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, there aren't a lot of non-ultimate pets that would actually benefit from this long enough to make a difference (Zyra, Malz, Heim, Yorick, Gangplank?) but on the flip-side I can't help but think that it is WAY TOO niche for Riot to ever consider. I'm against complete ability overhauls (creating a brand new ability) since I feel like that insults the creator. While, thematicly, it fit's 'Ah Mar's persona very well, it does little for the actual game state :/ I might suggest a complete overhaul on this ability, but if you wish to make it work you're going to have a nightmare trying to balance it. You'll have to make it useful to 'Ah Mar when she doesn't have the above mentioned allies on her team, and at the same time make sure that it's in line if those champions were to be on your team.

Overall great concept! I feel like you need to polish her identity a little bit more. As I mentioned, she doesn't quite feel like a support champion YET! With enough work I'm sure your vision could become reality! I would love to talk more about your champion design if you'd lend me your time! We could work together to fully flesh out this design if you'd like :D
