[Champion concept] Iaraan, the smoldering smith (update)

A grumpy old man looking to show that kickin' it old-school is way better than this new-age Piltie nonsense. Like the racist uncle at thanksgiving. He's into the old fashion crafts like hammering a sword to perfection rather than cooking up some weird scissor leg laser rubbish. In his eyes there's no need for magic and science to be together, magic has been reliable since the dawn of time whereas science has new screw-ups every day. He's designed to be a tanky jungler who excels at diving as well as being adaptable in different situations.

Passive: Master piece Iaraan gains inspiration and materials from each champion, turret, or epic monster he assists in the killing of. Champion assists and kills give 1 point, and assisting in the kill of an epic monster or turret gives 2. These points can be exchanged to craft an item or upgrade an item. Can only be crafted once and cannot change upgrade paths. Items:

Q: Use your back Mana cost: 60/70/80/90/100 CD: 10 Iaraan empowers his next basic attack to do a might down swing that deals 50/60/70/80/90 +(60% AD) physical damage in an area and flattening the primary target (shrinking their model size) for 1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds. Flattened targets are 50% more susceptible to slows below 70%. (So it'd turn a 20% slow into a 30% slow, a 50% slow into a 75% slow etc.)

W: Rusted nails Mana cost: 60 CD: 12/11/10/9/8 Scatters nails in an area that deal 60 + (55% AD) physical damage to enemies hit and slows them by 20%, enemies that walk in the nails take 10/15/20/25/30 + (30% AD) physical damage for each half second they spend inside it. Lasts for 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 seconds.

E: Counter armor Mana cost: 80 CD: 12 Iaraan adapts his armor for incoming assaults and shields himself for 80 + (5/7/9/11/13% max HP) for 4 seconds, when he is struck by a basic attack within 200 range his armor will knock the attacker back 200 units over 0.5 seconds. Cannot occur on the same enemy twice in one duration.

R: Welding souls Mana cost: 150 CD: 90/75/60 Iaraan leaps towards an enemy champion within 600 range and slams on them with his hammer dealing 150/200/250 +(100% bonus AD) damage and binding them to a nearby enemy champion for 2.5 seconds, during this time they cannot move farther than 375 units away from each other. If there are no other enemies nearby the target is tethered to where they were hit and cannot move more than 500 units for 1.5 second.

I was thinking about something better.” “Magic has existed for eons and never failed, science is practically a baby sprawling to get on its feet.” “Magic and metal, the only mistake is operator error.” “Let’s get crafty.” “Progress? Towards what, death?”

Attacking: “Squash!” “Such pathetic armor.” “I’d craft you a better suit if you had the money.” “Maybe I don’t need a war hammer.” “Feh, kids, so quick to die.” “Take care of your armor!” “Really? A bag of potatoes has better defense value than you.” “Ya got a warranty on that?” “Awh, they think their armor is decent!” “I could forge a door more threatening than you!” “Speak up welp!” “Am I getting rusty? Nah.” “Need to be careful to not throw my back out.”

Taunting a Piltover champion “Blah blah blah progress! Whatever.” “Why do you need to put a gun on everything?” “All your science numbers and whatnot is gonna melt your brain!” “When are you gonna learn that you just can’t beat old school?” “Heh, greeny thinks they can outdo my craftsmanship?”

Taunting Aurelion sol “You don’t use a hammer and you’ve got no anvil, what kinda smith are you?”
