Sycophanta - the false sorcerer [NEW CHAMPION CONCEPT]

really original idea with the illusion theme (I think it's different enough from leblanc) but if I could make one suggestion is that the point and click stun shouldn't be 3 seconds, it's actually a really long time for a basic ability stun in league*[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]*

Cool idea! The lore is cool but a little more would make it SUPER cool. I like the art as well (even though it comes from WoW )xD

That passive would make scoring kills difficult but it will mess with the enemy's head rather well- you never really see how much damage he's dealing to you until you notice just how long your health has kept ticking down.

As a note, because he has no scaling damage, I would build him with heavy crit and high AD so that I can just let my autos melt enemies over time. They would never see it coming. Even if they did, I can probably kill a number of them before (or after) I die.

I would probably play him mid or as an AD support (Black Cleaver + Runaan's + Eye of the Equinox + IE + Frozen Mallet + Berzerker's Greaves would probably be the build.) None of his support abilities rely on itemization either, so there really isn't a need to refrain from building damage. (Something I already do on Thresh occasionally.)

It's actually a really interesting idea, but his passive doesn't really fit with his kit, and since his kit doesn't have any scaling, and really doesn't need any, he's completely free to build whatever items he wants. Which is a mess for balancing. (I'd also consider increasing his ult's cooldown.)

Oh, and congratulations on your writing, it's gripping.

I know upvotes don't really matter, but I did it. Just in case it's the ONE that counts enough to get Riot to even begin thinking on this level. I'd main the hell out of this guy.

I think the second part of E should restore a smaller amount of health if at all. 45% at max rank seems a bit too strong considering that you already made a clone of an enemy and possibly tricked them.

Maybe make the second part of E have a passive heal like: For every 0.5 damage dealt with death drain you gain 1 health.

Also I think the passive should only effect those within his range because the way it's described it seems like it deals damage infinitely for doing one attack but does the damage as damage over time until the enemy champion dies.

Did you mean it like: All damage dealt by Sycophanta is dealt as DoT? Over all he seems pretty cool in vision control and how he deals damage (If I got the concept right. still not quite sure)

Also for his E to be effective wouldn't he have to make the enemy invisible to the enemy team while the clone was active in order to avoid the ability being redundant?

I don't want to come off as mean, sorry if I do. Have a nice day!

I think this kit is a little broken up, not sure it makes sense, cohesively. It seems deception is the intended theme, but none of his abilities - as they are written now - interact with each other in an interesting way. Additionally, Im confused if this champ is intended as a mid laner or a support.

Great work I can tell you put a lot of value into it. You shouldn't end a male's name with "a" though, because that is meant for females.

In my opinion I think E - Illusion is a little to much for a non ultimate, being that it is strong as well as it having a long cooldown. I think E and R should be switched, nerfing the R range from the whole map to a certain spot, increasing by level. Also, I think the Fog from Q should disappear after 30 seconds or a minute (length live increasing per skill level) but overall a nice champ with great art. Edit: Also, all of the champion skills have different names, and Drain and Deceive are taken, js.

Imagine using W when enemy players are on Skype. Player 1 could say I'm at blue pings here and then say thats not me to the fake clone. It kinda ruins the meaning of it and especially when there is no more solo Q, its common for people to queue together and have some sort of chatting app.

Also, by no timer o the passive , do you mean it has infinite duration?

If so how does the passive interact with recalling? does it stack? fix damage or % health damage? Problems with enemies losing all out of combat and gaining in combats bonuses? He has very poor damage and too much utility so all his damage balancing will be solely based on his passive but scaling the passive too strong will lead to crazy lane dominance just from one trade that allows him to aa all his lane opponents. After ganking, the jungler will have to recall because he will take large amounts of damage from the passive overtime

pretty cool idea

not quite grasping illusion ability yet, does it make you explode on death and then regain life, as a sort of self buff which lasts 20 seconds? or does it act differently?

Alot of power in his kit yet little damage, however

you can build to enhance his basic attacks and make the death drain a really really powerfull dot just wondering if it aplies rylais and liandries and i suppose if you build crit and you deal lets say 1000 damage this will be dealth as a dot then?

Some spelling mistakes and confusion but seems fun. I'm wondering about his ult having 5 levels and if you plan for death drain to proc spellthiefs multiple times like other poisons.

I think the Idea is super cool and i really like the 'Vision-controller' Thing c; Keep up the good work! [slayer-jinx-catface]

PASSSIVE DOES DAMAGE THAT CANNOT BE STOPPED????? AND HAS NO TIMER??????? WHAT THE HEEELLLL ARE YOU THINKING?

-autos once- -walks away- *le one minute later "First blood"

But seriously did you not think about this? you have it stopping all healing effects because it can't be stopped. So Garen's passive is gone, Warmog's is gone, deaths dance is gone, and everyone is just sitting under tower until they are so low he can use is ult so that Jinx can get an easy ult shot. Did you not think about this at all when you made it this is absurd!

Oh, the art is really cool by the way. Love it.

I love the idea of a vision manipulating mage that screws with the opponents minds. It needs some improvement in my opinion, but its a really good start.
