(Champion Concept) Loki the Astral Virus
Loki the Astral Virus
"The inhabitants of Runeterra believe themselves to be above chaos... with faction after faction fighting for their own personal "beliefs" and "philosophies..." However, feelings such as those will lead one onto a single path, the path of death and despair. However one of you, with a bird's eye view, is capable of foreseeing seeing the horrific truth to come. I come from the mists of harmony's darkness. I breed from the blood you bleed. I am what you fear when you step unto foreign earth. I am... Loki. And welcome to my wonderland."

Abilities
Passive: Internal Harvest
Description:
A small part of Loki's infectious agent enters the enemy. Anytime Loki basic attacks an enemy, he gains health regeneration equal to 5% of the damage dealt for 1.5 seconds. This is reduced to 2.5% for enemy minions. This is increased to 10% anytime Loki lands an ability.
Anytime Loki upgrades his ultimate, the percentage of health regeneration gained is increased by 4% for a possible maximum amount of:
17% Health Regeneration From (Basic Attacks)
22% Health Regeneration From (Abilities)
However Health Regeneration From Minions is Locked at a Possible Maximum of 6% Health Regeneration.
Loki does not gain health regeneration from items.
Q: Spiky Coat Extension
Descrption: A part of Loki's envelope expands and automatically pierces the nearest enemies within a range of 300, dealing true damage over a period of three to said enemies and slowing them by 20%. The first enemy hit by this ability has grevious wounds applied to them for three seconds.
Passive: Viral Transfer
Descrption: Whenever an enemy is hit by Loki's Spikey Coat Extension ability, they gain the Infected debuff.
W: Infectious Glare
Descrption: Loki sends streams of pheromones directly towards the enemy's mind, causing the affected champion to become Paranoid. Can only be used on enemies that are Infected.
Paranoid: The infected enemy champion or champions see a split image of Loki heading directly towards them for 1.5 seconds. The split image can replicate Loki's abilities, but they don't deal any damage to said any champions hit by it and cause no effects.
Loki gains 15 movement speed for every champion affected by Paranoid for a possible total of 75 bonus movement speed.
E: Viral Envelope
Description: Loki covers himself in an envelope of miniature, infectious and hardened viruses that Infect any enemies that deal damage to him with melee basic attacks.
Adaptive Envelope: Loki's Viral Envelope is capable of quickly adapting to any damage being dealt to him. Consistent damage onto Loki deals 1% less damage with each attack. This stacks up to a possible maximum of twelve stacks for a possible total of 12% damage reduction from all sources. Leveling up this ability does not change the amount of damage reduction gained, it only increases the amount of stacks allowed by 3.
This leads to a possible total of 27% damage reduction.
R: Astral Hive Mind
Descrption: Loki is rooted in place. Loki is able to take control of a single enemy's movement for 0.5 seconds. The amount of time is increased based on the number of champions that have been Infected by him by 0.5 seconds for a total possible amount of 2.5 seconds. During this time, Loki is unable to use any of his own abilities and cannot move until the duration of said ability has concluded.
However, in this state, Loki gains 15% health regeneration based on the physical damage of the controlled, enemy champion. The controlled champion can still deal damage and use their abilities, they just can't control their movement.
Lore: WIP
Creator's Thoughts: Hello, I'm Dusk Zero otherwise known as Trevon! I also came up with a few other concepts a while back such as Maxus. I came up with this champion concept as I watched Dead Space videos on Youtube and played their games. I sat down and began to write on how I would a champion similar to this would be placed in the league universe. I hope you enjoyed it and I'd enjoy any feedback you could give me! Thank you for taking the time to read through all of this if you did!
P.S.: I am still working on the damage values and possible costs. So right now as it may, this champion is incomplete. [sg-lux]

I noticed that Loki had almost no movement speed capabilities such as a dash or reliable escape, so I decided to change that. I added a movement speed bonus based on the amount of people affected by Loki's Paranoid ability.

If Loki Paranoids a enemy champion, he'll gain 15 movement speed. He can then chain that on multiple enemies to gain a possible amount of 75 movement speed which can make him extremely fast and disorienting due to his split image.
