(Champion Concept) Heion, the Guardian of the Dark Scrolls

Please take time to read and not downvote immediately, this is a very unique champion with a very unique Kit. You wouldn't want to waste an opportunity to have this marvelous design.

NOTE: Right after the Yorick Update hype (maybe after a year or half a year post-Yorick Hype) and the Ivern release, this champion [Heion] could level the fields of justice. Riot has been trying to look for new mechanics on champions and this champion's kit is simple but complex especially with the new Resource Regen design [ember collection].

LORE

In the darkest areas of Runeterra, in the skies and above it, a dark, evil mist appeared from the smokes of rampaging volcanoes. The blue shades of the clouds turned gray and ashes poured heavily upon the surrounding lands. A face emerged from the dark clouds as lightning struck a supposed abandoned castle while the terrifying roar of thunder scared the beasts of the land. Distant merchants heard the threatening sound and began to eye on the remains where the lightning struck. They stood still. Fear has entered their hearts and minds. Soon, the ashes rose from the ground and a resemblance of a beast began to form. A monster from the depths of the earth has been raised. In the skies, ancient runic letters were written. A dark spell was cast upon the skies making the days dark and the nights darker. The merchants looked the other way and fled in terror. Following the events, a giant surfaced from the abandoned castle and shouted, "MORTALS! Where, in this unfaithful land, are the dark scrolls of death? Bring me the scrolls before I unleash suffering unto this world." The giant, together with the monstrous creature, faded into the darkness of the night. When morning came, in a village outside the walls of Demacia, a tall, muscular man exited a tent and talked to a slave boy. "Can you help me, young man? I'm looking for a thief," the stranger asked.The master of the slave boy saw the man and said, "Hey! Stay away from my slave. He's mine. And, unless you are willing to pay me for him you are to stay away from him!" "Do you not know who I am?" The stranger asked again. "You are nothing to me! With those garments you wear, you're probably someone else's slave too," the master said as he smirked. The stranger saw the ember on the dead campfire and he summoned the beast and it burned the tent of the master and every tent beside it. The beast soon returned to the earth. "Wh-who... who are you?" The angered master asked as he started to slowly step away from the man. "Your ancestors know me and feared me yet you fools do not. I have seen the birth of Runeterra, the rise and fall of Shurima, the wars fought by Demacia, Noxus, and Ionia, the betrayals in the Freljord, and thousands of other events. I! I am Heion, the Guardian from the Antarus." "Impossible! You're just like the others. You're just another sorcerer," the skeptical master said. "I may look like a sorcerer or a soldier, but... h'gh!" Heion pulls an obsidian dagger and throws it at the master. The master caught the obsidian dagger and said, "you can't kill me with this, fool!" "You can anticipate the speed of a dagger and catch it," Heion said. He disappears in a second and reappears in front of the master while dark misty clouds followed him and blinded the master and everyone and everything was under the dark mist. When the darkness disappeared, the master laid on the ground with a slit throat while his men fled from the encounter. Heion continued his statement, "but you cannot anticipate the speed of death."

An additional 2 seconds of reduce vision is given to enemies who walk away from the dark mist's growing range before its duration even ends.

Feel free to comment anything regarding this New Concept! If there are any questions and needed clarifications, feel free too comment below. I'll try to reply as soon as possible. summoner 4

EDIT I: Changed Base Ember Capacity to 45 and ADDED +15 Ash Capacity via Ult Levels. EDIT II: Changed Q's Recharge Time from 6/6/5/5/4 to 5 at all levels. EDIT III: Changed the Passive - Death's Reward from utilizing Ashes (another concern is that it sounds something very similar to Ashe, the champion, which has no relation to Heion whatsoever) to utilizing Ember, which fits great with the Lightning and Lava from the LORE.

BUMP!

I get that he's some sort of ancient dark god, but never did establish what those oh-so-creatively named "dark scrolls of death" were for or why he would want them. Lore just struck me as excessively edgy overall, though I suppose if he were one of the Darkin with a different MO than Aatrox I could see some of it still work.

Passive: So... basically he has an alternative mana resource that require he either kill things or just stick around when things die in order for it to regenerate, with a maximum capacity only increasing with level thresholds and not items, similar to Energy or Rage. Thematically fitting I guess but I'm not certain what kind of gameplay impact it's going to make.

Q: Basic mixed-damage ranged poke with a charge system like Vel'Koz's W and stuns/immobilizes if both shots successfully hit the same target. All right I suppose, though dealing half physical and half magic damage would make building defensively against him a pain in the butt.

W: Overly-long and possibly gramatically incorrect name for... a passive movement speed boost? That's basically the same as Miss Fortune's except without the stacks and out-of-combat restrictions and only a minimal increase to total movement speed when activated? ...for some reason this seems particularly anticlimactic.

E: Passive is basically a recolored Thunderlord's Decree with a hint of Vi's Denting Blows, active is like an inverted version of Lux's E where it deals damage in a radius and THEN slows. Also it's throwing a cremated dog at them instead of a charging ball of light magic.

Ult: While I do feel urged to complain that obsidian, being volcanic glass, cannot be "refined" outside of ill-informed Minecraft mods, effect-wise this is starting to sound interesting. Skillshot/teleport like one of Lee Sin's abilities that also creates an AOE that's like Nocturne's ult on the inside and a localized cloud of brush-like vision obstruction on the outside. Would certainly make teamfights interesting as melee champs would have to risk face-checking the cloud to continue the fight while ranged champs would just have to blindly throw AOE abilities into the mess and hope they're dealing damage. It's like Alkali's cloak, but for everyone!

But yeah, beyond that ult, nothing else about this champ really grabs me for some reason. The lore feels like it's trying too hard to fit some Naruto/Bleach/Shonen standard of "cool", and his basic abilities (names in particular) don't seem to do much better in that field. Gameplay-wise I still see how he could be a nice burst-y assassin, W passively granting him the mobility to slow a target with his E's and then kite them with his Q's, and once they're locked down move in with his Ult and gank them while making it difficult for the rest of the team to save them. Actually, come to think of it, he might actually have a bit too much riding on that ult- not only does it let him lock down a target for a relatively easy kill, but it also gives him free cover to prevent assists and/or escape with little consequence. Then again he also has to land a skillshot to make it work and missing it puts it on cooldown for a couple minutes or so, so at the very least there is some counterplay to it.

Anyway, on the whole I don't know what to say about this champ. It doesn't strike me as particularly overpowered or underpowered, just... edgy. And I know it's not like there aren't already champs that are like that in League (Zed and Yasuo immediately come to mind), but somehow this one still just sticks out like a sore thumb for some reason. There is no heart to this champ, there is only edge.

I'm planning to rework the Lore and some Stats for Heion. Hope to see more creative criticisms. summoner 4
