[Champion Concept] Muz the Anomaly

Lore The World at War A dreamer as a child, Grant would look up to the dark skies at night and observe the stars twinkling and sparkling. He was fascinated by such existence that as he grew, he would seek the highest building or area just to watch them until he falls asleep or when the sun rises and covers the stars once more.

Accompanied by his friends who were homeless and abandoned like him, living in a world were war could erupt at any second everywhere. They had to learn how to fend for themselves or face the consequences of dying or even worst, becoming one of "them". From a group of ten or more kids like himself, they dwindled down to four. Like most men, most of their humanity has been removed, specifically - their emotions towards the living. Grant was no exception even as such age, each day a life before their very eyes would disappear as those monsters would devour them with no hesitation.

Moving from one place to another, scavenging tools and weapons from the fallen remains of their race, Grant and his friends would develop their own weapons to defend themselves from the unsuspected. Everyday was a race to survive as the monsters would appear out of nowhere, as if sensing life like snake finding a cornered prey.

Growing into a fierce fighter, Grant become a soldier for the living, bidding to no one - even emperors and kings would do anything they can just so they can earn their protection but their group only fended for themselves as they have did when they were kids. Becoming a skilled gunner, Grant and his friends would win against a small-scale war against the monsters that would dare appear before them, excelling in mowing down his enemies with a hail of bullets.

Their group become renowned and has received praises from many fighters and politicians alike yet they could not show their appreciation as their emotions has long died with their childhood - but not Grant, the small child that lived inside him still continued and as such, he would go out of hiding at night and watch the stars do their dance, a tranquil and peaceful feeling. Hoping what it would feel like to be one of the stars.

One night, Grant would do his usual activity, finding an abandoned building - each step left no traces of his presence nor a sound that would be heard, only the wind masking his breathing. He sat on the edge of the building, head raised up high, a faint smile on his face. The silver diamonds standing out the pitch darkness. Each time, inside he felt relief and everything that has happened in the past was nothing but a bad dream. Until reality struck him in a form of boney-white tooth piercing him in the shoulder, violent green ooze leaking from it. Its one of them and it caught him off-guard.

He could only pray it would end quick as such was the rule of the world. He had left his rifle at base and had no form of communication with his allies. He gazed at the beast's eyes, brilliant purple with a cat's eye staring back at him, intent of not letting him move an inch as the monster's tooth plunge deeper by the second. He closed his eyes, wishing for it to end but he felt it stop. As he opened his eyes, he could see the life leaving from the monster's eyes as what remains of its supposed body has been incinerated.

"I see you adore my creations for quite a while, I felt it is only right to let a fan live in this sort of situation." A large booming voice echoed throughout the night.

Grant could only watch as the night skies twisted to form that of a draconic, body covered in stars instead of scales that he loved as child. A large lion-like face staring back at him.

"Since you're my only fan in this world, do you wish to learn more?" The entity asked.

Grant nodded his head.

The Other World As the night turn to day, I watched as the stars slowly vanish as the sun's light hides them from its brilliant light. The wound on my shoulder served as a reminder that everyone can die at any moment as well as an opportunity to discover new things. Inside me, I can feel a new power rising, immense and powerful yet a child's toy compared to him. A mere human like me can never dream to achieve such greatness but even so, this has brought me new hope to our upcoming battles.

Each fight, I held my rifle by my side as my allied prepared for the incoming onslaught. As someone who isn't capable of performing magic, this might had been my greatest disadvantage but not today nor tomorrow. I aimed my iron sights as a violet portal manifested out of thin air. As the green crystal-like eyes appeared in the darkness, I pulled the trigger as it jumped out of the portal with blazing speed. It read my movements, it could see where my bullet was heading but he did not see what was coming next. The air in front of me started to twist and turn, followed by the actual landscape behind it as it opened another portal, albeit a smaller one. The monster tried to escape my sight by moving above me but little did it know that another portal appeared before it. I could only feel the goo or what seems to be the blood of the monster splashing behind me as my bullet found its mark on its head.

My friends did not wonder as to how I have gained such magic or control as they have been deprived by emotions long time ago. As the fight ended, I waved my hand to close the portal when I caught of a glimpse of a person with white hair. It was like a blink before the faint image disappeared alongside the portal.

Fight after fight, each time I opened a wormhole for a road for my bullets, I keep seeing this boy. Until the moment noticed me, a brief period of time where our eyes met each other but as fast as the portal vanished, the boy disappeared. He didn't felt like in pain like everyone in our world, I would like to meet this person if fate gives a chance... and it did.

In the heat of the battle, I made a fatal mistake that drove an alien horn through my stomach. I could feel my life fading away but then I noticed something in the air, a disturbance. As I laid in the ground, my allies didn't noticed me through the sheer number of foes, I opened a portal and I saw a hand stretched outward coming from it. With my remaining strength, I reached out to it and grabbed the hand before I was pulled in a blink of an eye.

There, I sat with a boy in a city called Zaun. The smell of oil and machinery was new and better than the smell of corpse and blood. The boy healed me, used his weird contraption which warped my body and made my wound disappeared like it never happened. I asked him about this world - Runeterra he says. He asked where I came from but my mind suddenly became hazy, my memories was in chaos. I could only remember pieces of information about my world. He tried to calm me down, saying that the time might have affected me in a different way. I tried to relax but the fact I could remember their faces scares me.

The boy patted me in the back which broke my thought, he introduced himself as Ekko. He asked for my name, even that part of my memory hasn't been in shatters, I looked down at my rifle. The boy spoke, Muz, that will be my name he said. Coming from a foreign world or space, secrets must be kept or people will be flocking around me he said. I nodded. He welcomed me to his place, asking me to feel at home - indeed it felt like home, away from the fights and bloodshed.

But deep down, I know they will come for me - and I'm hoping it will be my friends.

Abilities

Passive - Spacial Rifle - [Basic Attack Modifier]

---

Muz's Basic Attacks are fired in a skill shot and can be issued by issuing an attack command on the targeted ground or on an enemy unit to fire in the general direction. Each Basic Attack generates 10 Heat upon initiating and an additional 3 Heat per second he maintains a single Basic Attack. Once it reaches 100 Heat, Muz's Spacial Rifle becomes Overheated, rendering him unable to attack for 3 seconds as he discharges the heat from his Spacial Rifle.

Additionally, Muz's Basic Attacks has unique properties:

• Once issued to perform a Basic Attack, Muz will continuously fire in the target direction until he is issued another command.
• Basic Attacks passes through enemy units and stops upon reaching maximum range or upon hitting an enemy champion or large monster.
• Basic Attacks damage decreases by 15% (minimum to 30%) for each enemy unit struck after the first.

---

Notes:

• Attack Animation cancellation will not generate Heat.
• Heat does not decay overtime and will only reset once if Muz dies, the Spacial Rifle becomes Overheated or if Heat Discharge is used.
• Muz will reveal himself and an enemy champions if struck via Muz's Skill Shot Basic Attack while under the Fog of War.

Q - Bullet Distortion - [Auto-Attack Modifier-Slow] Cooldown: 8 seconds

---

Muz loads a special bullet into his Spacial Rifle causing his next basic attack for the next 6 seconds to deal additional 10 / 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 + (110% of Attack Damage) physical damage and slows the last enemy unit struck by 2.5% / 3% / 3.5% / 4% / 4.5% per enemy it passes for 2 seconds.

Additionally, the basic attack from Bullet Distortion generates 20 Heat immediately upon fire but does not suffer from damage falloff. Bullet Distortion may be activated prior or while maintaining a Basic Attack without interrupting it.

Notes:

• Bullet Distortion may still be used while Muz's Spacial Rifle is Overheated but may not perform an Auto-Attack.
• Bullet Distortion can still be used if the Spacial Rifle's Heat is 99 or below. The additional Heat gained from Bullet Distortion cannot go above 100.

Muz generates a small wormhole that leads to a different location for 10 seconds. If Muz's Basic Attack passes through the wormhole, the attack range resets and is continued at the exit wormhole at maximum range.

Additionally, Basic Attacks that passes through the wormhole has increased 50% projectile speed and the damage falloff also resets.

---

Notes:

• Only Nuz's Basic Attack can pass through the wormhole of which will be fired at the general direction where the exit wormhole is facing.
• One can adjust the range (invisible tunnel of some-sort) while using Wormhole by means of sliding the cursor back to achieve the ideal distance of the entrance and the exit wormholes prior to casting Wormhole. (Akin to to Viktor's Death Ray and Rumble's The Equalizer but you can drag it around to fix the distance between the two wormholes).
• Visually, one can imagine an orb(Entrance) that is created nearby Nuz and a small portal(Exit) that is created in a much farther range. Shooting the Orb will cause the attack to be absorbed and re-directed out of the portal.

---

E - Heat Discharge - [Radial-Damage] Heat Cost: 60 / 55 / 50 / 45 / 40 | Cast Range: 600 | Trigger Range: 60 | Detonation Radius: 200 | Cooldown: 2 seconds

---

Muz channels for 0.75 seconds as he manifests the heat from his Spacial Rifle into a landmine before throwing it on the targeted ground. The magazine lasts for 30 seconds and explodes if an enemy unit walks over it, thrown directly on an enemy unit or upon end of duration. The magazine deals 60 / 55 / 50 / 45 / 40 + (30% / 35% / 40% / 45% / 50% of Attack Damage) physical damage to nearby enemy units.

---

Notes:

• Landmines are visible to enemy champions (unless planted within a brush).
• Heat Discharge cannot be used if the Heat Cost required has not been achieved.
