Strider - The Unparalleled

Strider - The Unparalleled Primary: Slayer

Background Information

Before you read my concept I wanna say thank you for taking the time to look over what I have created. You will see massive similarities to speedster of pop fiction and that is because speedsters (particularly The Flash) are my favorite types of heroes and I've always wanted a "fast" champion in League. So enjoy. This concept took me a pretty long time to create so I'd appreciate any and all feedback.

**Lore **

_While most would care about their financial well being, the livelihood of their family and friends, and overall the life around them nothing matters more to the self-proclaimed speed demon Strider than speed. Wherever there is an opportunity to demonstrate his unnatural gift of unparalleled quickness, he shows no hesitation in fully showing it off to any and all who stare in awe. With nothing more than the power of speed at his side, Strider races to do good throughout all of Runeterra. _

_Born into a poor farm family on the outskirts of Demacia, Strider found nothing more joyful than running around with his friendly farm animals. While most kids where out playing sports or attending a educational institute, Strider was more at home running from sunrise to sunset. One night, while Strider was in the midst of a dash, he saw a sparkling light fall from the sky above him. His curiosity got the better of him and he approached to what appeared to be a gold shining ore, unlike anything he had ever seen before. He approached the crater and examined the ore and he could only be astonished until the ore began to crack and dazzling yellow lights showered his entire body in mystical energies. That very night, Strider found himself asleep in an abandoned field very close to a town he had never before seen in his life. He walked to the town, eager to find out where he was, and that's when he asked a local trader where he was and the trader informed him that he was in Piltover, somwhere he had never been before. _

While there he wondered how he got from a crater in Demacia to Piltover, but his confusion quickly ended as he saw a group of armed men harassing a shop keeper. While he had never before been into such a confrontation before, he immediately sought to help the poor man in need. He approached the men harassing him and demanded them to quick assaulting the shop keeper and that's when he realized the blessing he had been bestowed with. One of the men quickly pulled their sword and attempted to attack Strider, but in the blink of an eye he appeared behind the man and with a quick jab knocked him into unconsciousness. Terrified at what they had witnessed, the other men retreated leaving Strider and the now safe shop keeper both in awe at what Strider had done. The shop keeper thanked Strider for what he had done and that's when he departed to find out what exactly he found that fateful night.

_Using his new god given speed he quickly hasted to the one place that would know of what happened to him, The Demacian Institution of Magic. There he met a scholar that specialized in "unusual and bizarre magical abilities". He demonstrated his unbelievable speed to the scholar by quickly running back to Ionia in the blink of an eye and grabbing a Lotus, a special type of Lotus found only in specific regions of Ionia. Both flabbergasted and frightened at Strider's speed, he told him that he was simply "Fast". Strider was unsatisfied with his response and demanded to know what happened to him, but in the meantime he used his abilities to engage in his most beloved activity, running. All around Runeterra legends quickly spread around about a "flash", one who no one could defeat in a dash and one who made marathons look like "a walk to the restroom". This caught the attention of one particularly curious individual, Ezreal. _

_The two came into contact for the first time when Strider was contacted by the first person he ever saved, the shop keeper. There, the shop keeper told him that another person as gifted as he was had challenged him to a race and to meet him at the outskirts of Demacia, a place he is very familiar with. Ezreal greeted him by saying nothing more than "Let's see how fast you really are, first one to Mount Targon wins". Afterwards the two speedsters raced, one armed with the speed of light and the other armed with arcane teleportation. Both had arrived atop Mount Targon at the nano-second, with Strider managing to do nearly outrun instantaneous teleportation. Ezreal was impressed with Strider, a rare feat for someone who had seen some of the greatest mysteries Runeterra had to offer. He thanked him for the race and said it was some of the best fun he had in a very long time and bid him farewell. However, Strider was not satisfied and asked the prodigal explorer on what he thinks or who he thinks gave him this ability, and Ezreal merely stated "Who knows? But the most important thing is what you use it for" and then he shifted away. _

_At that very moment Strider realized this gift wasn't a tool for his leisure, but a tool for him to do good in Runeterra. And so Strider dashes around Runeterra, eager to not only demonstrate his power to his enemies but to also help any and all who need him. _

Abilities (Brief Description)

Passive - Spirit Of Speed

• For every few units Strider travels he gains a stack of "Spirit Of Speed", increasing the damage on his next basic attack against an enemy champion or epic/large monster. Upon reaching maximum stacks the basic attack will also grant him decaying movement speed for a few seconds while also granting immunity to slows.

Q - Swooshing Strike

• Strider traverses so fast in a line he strikes all targets before they can even react to what is happening, dealing physical damage and reducing their armor. Holding this ability down causes Strider to appear at the end of the strike and casting it while Circling Dash is active causes Strider to end the ability and swiftly strike in the center of the circle he previously was in, dealing physical damage.

W - Blurring Assault

• Strider passively gains bonus movement speed and on activation he gains massive attack speed while also causing his basic attacks to generate Spirit Of Speed stacks.

E - Untouchable Velocities

• Strider begins to vibrate his body to the point where attacks phase through him, dodging all basic attacks and abilities for a short duration. At the end of the duration his next basic attack gains bonus range and deals magic damage equal to how many attacks he phased.

**R - Godspeed **

• Strider gathers up energy for an epic dash, channeling for a few seconds with the dash increasing in damage and length over the duration. Once activated again he travels at a speed surpassing light, dealing physical damage to all enemies and stunning them for a short duration.

**Tips For Playing Strider **

• Strider excels at catching his opponents off guard before they can react, utilize this greatly.
• Strider's ultimate gives him amazing map presence but it can also be used to fend off opponents that are after your allies even if you don't plan on using your ultimate on them. *You can utilize his ultimate to "scare" your opponents without actually casting it, as the sound it generates begins once he channels but the channel can be stopped placing it on cooldown.

**Tips For Playing Against Strider **

• His sheer speed alone makes him a massive pressure maker on the map, regardless of where he is.
• Striders ultimate gives him amazing map mobility, be weary of this.
• He's most dangerous when he has maximum stacks of Velocity, be careful and watch those stacks.
