Lore: Eitor was a proud young boy born into a small nomadic tribe in Freljord. He often told himself that he would always stand in defense of his tribe and family. He would often venture out with his own makeshift weapons to find beasts to fight. His parents chastised him for these foolish exploits, as the tribe had never been attacked, and he would only ever get himself in trouble. One day however, Eitor’s tribe was set upon by raiders of the Winter’s Claw. Eitor rushed out to help, but his father turned him back, telling him to run and make sure he survived. Taking his father’s prize poleaxe, Eitor ran for all he was worth away from the sounds of slaughter.
Unfortunately in his rush he did not look where he was going, and before too long he noticed that he had run over Freljord’s borders and into the unforgiving lands of the Marshes of Kaladoun.
The Marshes were a harsh and unforgiving place, home to many dangerous and venomous animals. Eitor wandered the unforgiving swamps, unsure of how he should go about getting home. Remembering his own adventures, he set up a small camp, and set to hunting whatever he could find. However, he got too careless in his travels, and found himself bitten by the deadliest creature of the marshes, the Spearhead Viper. Though he managed to kill the viper, he quickly deteriorated in health and only just managed to make it back to his camp before passing out. The venom quickly flowed through his veins, causing him to throw up, sweat profusely, and hallucinate. In his addled visions, he saw his parents beckoning him to join them. But looking to them and his tribe. He remembered his promise to always protect them. And now he had broken that promise. Instead of giving into despair, this instead filled him with a sense of determination to make up for this failure. Pushing through his symptoms as best he could, He noticed how many different plants had grown around the area where he found the viper. Collecting as much as he could, he mixed together a makeshift concoction that he hoped could pass for an antidote. Although he threw up a lot of his attempts, he eventually managed to make a potion that stabilised him and, after making more, he managed to become mostly healthy. Recovering as best as he could, he found that the poison running through his veins had given immunity to any other venoms that the creature’s in the marshes possessed, making him the ultimate hunter of the dangerous inhabitants. However, the Spearhead venom in his system was not going to go away, forcing him to constantly drink his antidote in order to stay alive.
After many years of hunting and training himself, Eitor returned to Freljord. Travelling through the harsh winter storms, he came across a small family on the run from a group of Winter’s Claw bandits. Throwing himself in front of the bandits, the blade of his poleaxe cut the arm of the bandit leader. The leader laughed at what he thought was a minor wound, before he suddenly cried out in pain and collapsed, convulsing violently. Eitor had coated his blade with the various venoms of the creatures he had killed in his travels, meaning those who opposed him could be dead from just one scratch of his poleaxe. The other bandits quickly fled when they saw this, leaving the family be. The thanks of family filled Eitor with a new sense of duty; he would go out and protect those who were unable to protect themselves.
For months, Eitor patrolled the Freljord, protecting all those he could. Intercepting raiding parties on their way to ambush settlements, driving off monster who would attack tribes. He showed no bias to those of different tribes. If they needed help he would give it. However, for all the good Eitor did, he could not be everywhere at once. May innocent people were still being hurt in this war between tribes, and he was no closer to preventing that. Thinking it over one day, he knew that the only way to end this strife was if the three leaders of the tribe would unite. However, there was only one place where such a thing could be acheived. With that, Eitor set his sights on taking his fight to where he could make the most difference: The League of Legends.
#“I have heard of this warrior with the head of a snake, whose strike is twice as deadly. If he wasn't killing all my men I'd ask him to join me” - Sejuani
Relationships:
Friends – Though from Freljord, Eitor has not allied himself with any of the three warring Factions, swearing to protect innocent villages and tribes regardless of their allegiance. However he is good friends with Braum.
Rivals – Due to his tribe’s murder at the hands of its raiders, Eitor harbours a strong resentment for the Winter’s Claw. Although he spares the peaceful village tribes who are allied with them, he will go out of his way to destroy any bandit groups associated with them, and has a deep hatred for their leader, the ruthless Sejuani. He has also stared a friendly rivalry with fellow champions Singed and Twitch, over whose poisons are more powerful.

Strategy:
Eitor is designed to stand strong and bother champions, causing them to lose damage quickly, forcing them to retreat before his poisons take them down. This allows him to hold position on a turret/capture point, or push forward offensively depending on how he’s built.
Eitor’s passive is his main source of damage, and is great at quickly whittling down defensive units, as well as allowing him to take on strong monsters effectively. The damage boost means he can take on even the strongest of neutrals on his own if needs be. It can also be used to farm effectively, as you can activate it, and leave the poison to kill the minion while you stack up on the next minion.
His Q is a useful farming tool, as it will hit multiple targets, and if a champion is hit it can also boost the Attack Speed, leading to a ‘Poke and Farm’ situation. You can hit a champion, and then use the speed boost to pick off remaining minions.
Antidote is useful, but gives players a tough choice. The Passive is a nice little bonus, given Eitor's low speed. However, the choice of when to activate it is a big question. If you're pushing forward and need to activate it, you'll be giving up the power of your passive in order to save yourself. Activate too early and you might miss a chance to get a kill. Activate too late and you'll be giving up power and still get killed, though if you hadn't activated it, your Passive could still kill the person who killed you.
Scorpion Sting is a great way to poke champions who hide behind the minions. Since it only hits in a line, Good angling on Eitor’s part means he can hit the enemy with only a 5% drop in damage, instead of 20%, as well as putting on at least one stack of Poisoned Blade for a small damage causer.
Eitor’s ultimate is used to hold against all odds. The boost in Armor and Magic resist, means he should be able to hold off one or even two champs on a point so backup can arrive to help out. The taunt can also give wounded allies the chance to get out of enemy range to heal. It can also be used when in conjunction with Antidote to effectively initiate a fight with lower health. However, the cut in Movement Speed means you have to pick the right moment to activate or you can be left short against faster opponents.
Item Sets:
If you want to lane with Eitor, start out with Doran’s shield, giving yourself an early health regen boost before you are able to unlock Antidote. Afterwards, you should concentrate on maximising his Defense, health and Speed in order to get to a point and hold effectively. For this you should get Boots of Swiftness in order to move effectively, and build either a Randuin’s Omen if you’re facing a physical opponent or Banshee’s Veil/Mikael’s Crucible if you’re against a magic user, with an extra Giant’s Belt for more Health. Once you hit level 11, start buffing attack so you can do more damage in Team Fights. You could build an Atma’s Impaler in order to deal more damage from your extra health that your defensive items give you, or a BF Sword into Infinity Edge for pure damage.
His Passive and W also make Eitor an effective Jungler. Here you want to buff speed and attack first, by building up a Zeal and Phage into a Trinity Force to buf attack speed, and this time going for Mercury Treads so you can gank without being left behind from slows and possible snares, before tanking out later with the same items as before.

When Using Scorpion Sting: Feel the sting! Didn't think I could hit you, huh?
When Using Sentinel's Stance: They won't get past me! You guys are going nowhere!
Taunt (Planting his poleaxe and pointing forwards): You mess with venom, you’re gonna make yourself sick. After the Marshes, this'll be easy.
Joke (Spinning his Poleaxe in his hands, finishing with a flip): If this is all you've got, then I might as well go hunt snakes. Come on, Attack me! See what happens!
Recall (Taking a knee and pointing his pole axe upwards): I'll be back, and deadlier than before! The deadliest venoms take their time.
Special: (Against Sejuani) People like you make me sicker than I already am! (Against Twitch) How about we swap recipes after the match (Against Singed) Sniffing the air Your Poison Trail smells a bit off mate. I've got something that'll give it a real kick if you're interested.
Skin Ideas:
Vandal Eitor - His armor and snakeskin hood are replaced with a hoodie with a snake head design on it, and a pair of ripped jeans and sneakers. His poleaxe would be more streamlined with a chrome finish. The poison effects on his abilities would change to from its usual deep purple to a bright neon green.
Dreadknight Eitor - He hood becomes black leather, and his leather armour is replaced with streamlined and tough steel plate. His poleaxe blade is larger and crueller in design, and you can see Eitor's eye's glowing green under the hood. His poison effect changes from purple to black.
Rugged Eitor - I just think a Rugged Skin collection for the male champs would give some nice fanservice to the women of the League to compensate for all the female fanservice we have. Eitor wears his hair loose with no hood and doesn't wear the top half of his armour, showing off his his scarred body.
Bonus Round: Knock Knock
(Eitor knocks on Braum's door, and he opens it)
Braum: Ah, Eitor my friend, how are you today?
Eitor: I'm good Braum, just checking in.
Braum: Is good to see you my friend. How goes your fight to protect Freljord?
Eitor: Oh, you know, the usual. Walking across the freezing tundra every day, fighting off countless raiders and bandits, all while having the deadliest venom known to man coursing through my veins. Just a regular walk in the park.
Braum: Ah, your tongue is still is still as sharp as your blade I see.
Eitor: In my line of work it needs to be. Any word on how things goes between the Three?
Braum: Ah, things are no better. And I think you should keep yourself out of it, with your history.
Eitor: Relax, I'll deal with that when I need to . Anyways I need to get going. See you on the Fields.
Braum: Indeed friend, we shall fight many good fights together!
So yeah, that's my guy, let me know what you think
