Ves'Pra the Voidmother

Please enjoy my latest champion concept - Ves'Pra, the Voidmother!

I was working on the concept of a female Voidborn for a while and was prompted to finish it by the release of RekSai Rek'sai (who is super-fun, incidentally). I think a burly land-shark gorilla-centipede monster-lady is way cooler and more original than a bug-spawning insect monster-lady - I shall resolve to do better in future. But I still like her, so here she is.

I'm bad with stats and numbers and such so if anyone has suggestions for tweaking, abilities using AP or a different value, or such-n-such, please chime in.

Ves'Pra - The Voidmother "Come closer children... mother's hungry." http://goldenyak.com/images/colorwork/vespra.png ---Lore--- As the dimensional barriers seperating the world from the realms beyond are worn away, more and more entities dwelling within the darkness beyond are being drawn to the material universe of light and life. Erupting from the vilest depths of the Void, Ves'Pra the Voidmother has come to Runeterra.



---Stats--- Primary - Fighter (ranged attack) Secondary - Assassin Attack - 4 Defense - 4 Ability - 8 Difficulty - 6


---Abilities---

-Mother of Monsters- Innate (2 parts)

---Void Flyer Ves'Pra takes 1% reduced damage for every 1% of bonus movement speed she gains.

---Broodmother Bonus Movement Speed per Voidfly - 2% / 3% / 4%

Ves'Pra's auto-attacks and Void Swarm ability stack Voidbrood on her targets. At 4 stacks, Voidbrood deals a burst of magic damage and spawns a Voidfly, which hovers close to Ves'Pra and improves her movement speed. Voidflies also fuel some of her other abilities.

Ves'Pra can have up to 4 Voidflies at a time - additional Voidflies will not spawn. A Voidfly last for 12 seconds before Ves'Pra devours it, regaining 4% of her total health. Enemies that have spawned a Voidfly receive Host Exhaustion which prevents them from being afflicted with Voidbrood for 6 seconds.


-Venom Infusion (Q) - Cost: 55 mana / Range: Melee / Cooldown: 15/13/12/11/10 Initial Damage - 35 / 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 Periodic Damage - 15% -> 20% -> 25% of Initial Damage

Ves'Pra injects venom into a target, dealing initial damage plus periodic damage every 4 seconds for 12 seconds. Each burst of periodic damage deals 5% greater damage than the previous burst. While afflicted with Venom Infusion, enemies receive 2 stacks of Voidbrood from Ves'Pra's auto-attacks instead of one.

-Predatory Flight (W) - Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana / Cooldown: 20/18/16/14/12 Proximity Damage - 10/12/14/16/18% of current movement speed every second for 3 seconds Voidfly Damage Bonus - +8% damage per Voidfly

Passive Movement speed increases by 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10% while in combat.

Active Gains 20% movement speed and the ability to pass through units for 3 seconds. This speed boost takes priority over the passive effect. Nearby enemy units take damage every 1 second. The damage is increased by Voidflies.


**-Void Swarm (E) **- Cost: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 mana / Range: Melee / Cooldown: 15

Ves'Pra spawns and immediately launches a Voidfly that bursts when it strikes an enemy, dealing them damage. Hovering Voidflies that Ves'Pra has gained through Mother of Monsters will also fly forwards in a cone and burst in the same way. The more Voidflies Ves'Pra has spawned, the larger an area will be targeted. Afflicts targets with a stack of Voidbrood. Enemies that suffer multiple strikes receive multiple stacks.


-Sting Borer (R) - Cost: 80 /100 / 120 mana / Range: Melee / Cooldown: 120/100/80 Damage - 35 / 45 / 55 every 0.5 seconds for 3 seconds. Voidfly Duration Bonus - 1 second per Voidfly

Ves'Pra barrel-rolls forwards stinger first at high speed, boring into the enemy and dealing periodic damage every 0.5 seconds to her closest target. Ves'Pra can fully control the direction of her flight but cannot halt while the ability is active. If Ves'Pra strikes an enemy, or a barrier that halts movement, she will stop moving but will continue using Sting Borer.

Voidflies are automatically consumed during flight to increase the duration. This ability can be ended prematurely by re-casting it, which will spare any surviving Voidflies.



---Background--- Like many of the Voidborn terrors who have made their way into the world, Ves'Pra is possessed of a terrible driving hunger - in her case, she desires to spawn an endless swarm of monstrous offspring, slaughtering every living thing she encounters to feed her ravenous brood. Ves'Pra's then satiates her own appetite by devouring her young once they are grown, which serves to fuel her growth and power - a horrific cycle of creation, destruction, and evolution.

Ves'Pra's purpose in coming to Runeterra is to find the one child of hers who managed to escape her hunger - the Voidborn Kha'ZixKhazix . While Kha'Zix inherited his mother's ability to grow stronger by devouring prey, Kha'Zix developed the unique ability to transform himself by devouring the essence of any living being, while Ves'Pra can only evolve by consuming her own Voidborn children. Ves'Pra senses that Kha'Zix has grown and evolved to an unprecedented degree - if she can consume him, she will obtain all of his powers and abilities, becoming a monster the likes of which Runeterra has never seen.


---Interactions--- Ves'Pra - "You have grown well, my child. Come closer. Let me... *embrace *you." Khazix Kha'Zix - "I am beyond you, Ves'Pra! Now, I will devour you!"

Ves'Pra - "You are one who should take better care of their spawn." Kassadin Kassadin - "Words will not deter me, abomination."



---Skin Ideas---

-Battlecast Ves'Pra - Ves'Pra, battlecast-style, with loads of little robo-babbies. -Regal Ves'Pra - A fuzzy honey-bee looking Ves'Pra.

I think her passive is rather op,I mean you also have to think of certain items. A Zephyr gives 10% bonus ms,which would negate 10% of all the damage she takes. Trinity gives another 8%,so stacking these kinds of items would cause her to become extremely tanky while gaining decent attack stats too.(yomuus ghost blade can give another 20% even if it is just for a few seconds)

So I'd say she should only get the benefits from her own ms-boosts

Love the artwork and it is a really good idea! However (if what I think is true) then they way void champs names work is based on the three letters after the ' so like Rek'Sai is queen of Xer'Sai so the being the mother of Kha would need a name tweak (which was already mentioned by ToragonsDR) I mean its very possible that the 'Zix breed of voidthings came from a 'Pra but I dont think it would be Ves'Pra know what I'm saying? o-o

I believe your Mako champion got turned into RekSai, congratulations :)

Pretty cool idea. However, I think it might be cool if she were KogMaw 's mother instead of Khazix 's. She could be the fully evolved "queen" of her hive. Her voidflies could start as small larva infecting the enemy hit, then they burst out as flies (chestburster pls).

Kog'Maw could be one of the larva that happened to evolve more

I really, really, like this concept, and I can see you've worked hard on it. I have a few comments, tho, regarding clarity, and a suggestion -

First off, with her passive, how long does the debuff "Voidbrood" last? And what happens if she attacks an enemy with 3 stacks when she already has the max number of voidflies? Will the bonus damage still proc, or will the stacks remain at 3?

Also, concerning her ult, it seems like the early damage values are a bit high. With four voidflies, her ult, to a single target over seven seconds, would deal 490 damage. For comparison, Malzahar's ult, at rank 1 and with no AP, would deal 250 damage. Perhaps each fly should only increase Sting Borer's duration by .5 seconds. Also, during Sting Borer, is the enemy CC'd in any way, or can it move freely (basically dragging Ves around)?

I really hope I'm not being too nitpicky here - I think this is a great concept and would make a fantastic champion with the right tweaks. :)

This is really impressive and well done

The kit is a little weird but I LOVE the passive and I think that that passive with the void flies needs to exist in some for in game because it is a very unique mechanic and would reward playing well.

I need some skin ideas for Ves'Pra, if anyone has some, lemme know. If I hear a really good one, maybe I'll draw it!

AChanceOfReign1/4/2015, 7:47:20 AM1 votes

I thought that Rek'Sai is the Queen of the Sai/Void since the Sais come from the void. I think don't quote me on that.

Shakeyy1/5/2015, 10:13:27 AM1 votes

Great concept but idk about the passive, a lot of movespeed items give crit/attack speed etc, so with that scaling you could just stack ms and be an unkillable 1shotting machine

; . ; So much work. So much dedication.

I love it.

ToragonsDR1/4/2015, 8:27:49 AM1 votes

Really cool idea, but I just have 2 questions, 1, it seems like the whole Voidfly thing is kind of…not used, couldn't more of her abilities involve them in a way that isn't passive. 2 Shouldn't her name be Ves'Zix if she's Kha'Zix's mother?
