RandomDude500·2/25/2016, 4:28:45 AM·2 votes·847 views

please dont be to hard on me this is my first champion concept!

Name - Mia (pronounced my-a) The shadow's prodigy - undecided? role - assassin/fighter scales off ad, uses energy character design - (feel free to draw and post in thread some fanart since i cant draw) all black hair, red eyes, wearing a black top with small shoulder plate and gauntlet protecting her arm which she wields a katana, black skirt with chain belt, and black (goth commando) boots. and of course her shadow which is always next to her, fighting with her.

**Rough draft! ** forgive me for any bad grammar and spelling
Lore - I'd like to introduce Mia, the girl who last her way. do to the war between Naxus and Demacia, Mia lost her parents at a very young age. thrown from foster home to foster home, Mia grow up as a child who was never accepted by anyone. She was all alone with no one but her shadow. then one day as she was walking out in the wild looking down at her shadow, she bummed into a fearsome, what seem to be a man. knocking her to the ground! as she looked up, the man said, "do you admire your shadow that much?" with a wimpier answered, "yes." He replied with, "do you want to meet your true shadow? Then follow me." and walked away. As he walked away, Mia got up and ran to follow. Ever since that day Mia has been training with this man. learning to harness the true power of her shadow...Many years have past, and through rigorous training, one day she unlocked this forbidden technique with her mind. As she looked behind her there she was standing, facing herself? her shadow was born. ever since that day the man that had trained her for these many years, has had an ever watching eye on her. Fearing that one day she may surpass him in strength. without a second thought striking her down, just as he did to his master many years ago........

all skilled have room from change or tweaks of coarse!

imagine another one of zed's pupils joining the fight!!

Passive - basic attacks against targets below 45% Health are struck twice (once by Mia, then again by her shadow.) second attack scaling with 30%-70% AD (depending on level.) This effect can only occur once every 10 seconds on the same target.

Q ability - Shadow's assault Mia's shadow dashes forward, Attacking targeted enemy champion or monster with 3 consecutive strikes then returning back to Mia ( dealing 50/85/100/125/150 (+80% bonus Attack Damage) physical damage to enemy.

W ability - Shadow's grasp Mia's shadow lengthens from her feet, attaching to target enemy's feet. Slowing enemy by 20%,30%,40%,50%,60% based on points in W. similar to a Leblanc or Karma tether, after 2 seconds with out breaking the shadows grasp roots the enemy for 1 second.

E ability - shadow's might Mia calls for her shadows aid, the shadow then engulfs Mia ( making Mia look as if she is the shadow herself) empowering her. increasing her next 3 basic attacks by 25%-40% ? also absorbing the next basic attack on Mia. lasting for 7? seconds.

R ability - Fear the shadows Mia harness the shadows power within her, after 1 second, exploding her shadow (deals no damage) cloaking her in a smoke screen like essences. (range undetermined). she gains 50%-90% movement speed in her shadow. enemies with in the blast radius are blind for 1-3 seconds (or blind till they leave the smoke screen)(which sounds better to you?)

**Name ** -- Mia, The Shadow's Prodigy Primary -- Assassin Secondary -- Fighter Resource -- Energy

**Passive **

Mia's basic attacks against targets below 45% Health strike twice. The second attack is dealt by her shadow, dealing 30%-70% AD Physical damage based on level. This effect can only occur once every 10 seconds on the same target.

This passive is too similar to Zed's. I'll leave all suggestions at the bottom.

Shadow's Assault

Mia's shadow dashes forward, Attacking the target enemy with 3 consecutive strikes then returning back to Mia dealing 50/85/100/125/150 (+80% bonus Attack Damage) Physical damage.

This ability sounds interesting, but making it targeted isn't too good. It's also pretty basic as is.

Shadow's Grasp

Mia extends her shadow to a target enemy, slowing them by 20/30/40/50/60% after 2 seconds the enemy is rooted for 1 second.

Again, too similar to existing abilities. It's an exact copy of 2 abilities without the interesting parts.

Shadow's Might

Mia engulfs herself with her shadow, empowering her next 3 basic attacks by 25/28.75/32.5/36.25/40% and absorbing the next basic attack on her. The effect lasts 7 seconds.

This is interesting, solid defensive effect but needs a little more tie in.

Fear the shadows

Mia harnesses the shadow's power within her. After a 1 second channel her shadow explodes, leaving behind a residual shadow. Mia gains 50/70/90% movement speed in her shadow and enemies within the blast radius are inflicted with nearsight for 1/2/3 seconds

I like this ability, though the duration is a little too long for it being an AoE.


Proposed Changes

Passive

Mia's shadow is manipulated by her abilities. The shadow gains her movement and attack speed and has a percentage of her total AD based on level. If Mia's shadow deals a certain amount of damage to an enemy champion in a short duration, Mia restores energy and gains a rapidly decaying burst of movement speed towards that champion.

Shadow's Assault

Mia sends her shadow lunging in the target direction, the shadow will follow and attack the nearest enemy champion up to 3 times, applying on-hit effects before blinking back to Mia's side.

Shadow's Grasp

Mia or her shadow's next attack slows it's target on hit. Her next 3 attacks increase the slow. The initial slow and increase on-hit is halved for attacks dealt by her shadow.

Shadow's Might

Mia engulfs herself with her shadow, empowering her basic attacks and reducing the damage she takes from incoming basic attacks. If Mia casts this ability while her passive is activated, she'll blink to her shadow's location before engulfing herself.

Fear the shadows

Mia harnesses the shadow's power within her. After a 1 second channel her shadow explodes, leaving behind a large residual shadow. Enemies within the blast radius are inflicted with nearsight for 1 second and Mia gains double the movement speed of her passive towards all affected enemy champions.

I feel this retains the core concept of your champion while also adding a clear and unique gameplay style. What do you think?

The overall concept feels a little repetitive because if you let her auto with her shadow (Q) you basically have an azir, you let her place shadows and teleport to them and you have another LB and Zed, if you make her dash around you have a Yasuo minus the tornado. Champions that have this sort of shadow/soilder/teleport/follower have gotten a bit repetitive in general. the fact that i can think of four very popular champions that have other entities that help them is a bit saddening. The lore behind her is good but the overall concept has been just used and abused by Riot already
