Kaadizi, the Madman (Character Concept)
Kaadizi, the Madman Kaadizi is the manifestation of madness. He lingers in the dark woodlands of Noxus, preying upon lost travelers, driving them mad. His endless chasing, endless torture, endless savagery, drives anyone to madness. He prefers to chase his target throughout the woods, making endless racket as he runs... then, once he reaches his victim, he mauls them to death. Only one man has escaped this sad ending... and he shares his recounts...
"I heard a rustling in the darkness... so I ran like any normal person would! I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran, and I ran... he would not stop... the dark hand of fatigue soon overtook me. I could hear the birds as they cawed my name... "FOOL! FOOL! FOOL!". I heard the crickets chirp dreary words of madness, "Doom... Doom... Death... Death... Soon...". The shadows of the forest moved in discord... they all seemed to be laughing at my misfortune! I stopped and I yelled, "Stop it! Stop laughing! Stop chasing me! WHAT ARE YOU?!". All was quiet at that moment... the birds ceased their endless cries, the crickets quit their chirping, the shadows disappeared without a trace... it was then, that I realized that I was not alone. The slow chill of fear took hold of my entire body... and a bloodied hand breached over my head. A voice that pierced the silence spewed forth from behind me, "What am I, you ask?". It sounded as if the pursuer had nails pounded through his throat... the rhythm of his words were like broken bridges, not complete... and his tone sunk low, like a sinking ship. I did not reply, I couldn't! I was frozen with terror! He spoke again, "I am...", the bloody hand met my skull and the massive fingers gripped it to no end. He picked me up, and with a flex of his power, he turned my body to face him. I will never forget that mask... that red mask... his eyes glowed red within the eye sockets of the once living creature. His breath formed in a cloud of steam in the cold air as he breathed in and out. "I am MAD!" and with a fell swoop, he threw me to the ground and beat me. I managed to escape with a broken leg and my life... I don't know how... but I did..."
Passive: Madness Kaadizi becomes crazed the longer he sustains battle: during combat Kaadizi gains 5/7.5/10 Madness for every basic attack and ability cast and caps out at 100 madness. For every 10 "Madness" Khaadizi's abilities' cooldowns are reduced by 5% up to a maximum of 50%.
*Kaadizi cannot utilize cooldown reductions from other sources; no items, runes, masteries, etc.
Q: Maul Cooldown: 4 seconds Cost: None "Your legs quake in fear..."
Kaadizi's next basic attack is empowered and deals 125%/135%/145%/155%/165% of your total attack damage and an additional 5%/7%/9%/11%/12% slow.
W: Warcry Cooldown: 20/18.5/17/15.5/14 Cost: None "The sight of battle is but a welcoming sight."
Kaadizi enters a frenzy for 4 seconds, gaining 45%/50%/55%/60%/65% bonus attack speed and 9%/12%/15%/18%/21% life steal. Additionally, Kaadizi gains Madness 25% faster during this period.
E: Reckless Approach Cooldown: 8 seconds Cost: None "You are but a leaf to him."
Passively, Kaadizi gains bonus movement speed when running toward enemy champions. Kaadizi pushes enemies out of the way while dashing towards a target location.
R: Gore Cooldown: 100 seconds Cost: None "When he attacks, the blood of his victim spills upon others."
Kaadizi marks a target champion, 15%/25%/35% of the damage that Kaadizi deals that that champion is dealt to all nearby enemy champion (including the marked champion). Kaadizi will take 30%/40%/50% less damage from all other sources other than his target.
Overview: Kaadizi is an incarnation of Madness! He attacks like a madman, caring not of what damage he sustains, only of the damage he inflicts. He is designed to keep fighting while continually dealing more and more damage. He can only deal more damage over time!
His Q, "Maul", gives Kaadizi a way to keep his target near him, while also acting as his main source of damage, besides his auto attacks. When Kaadizi has full Madness, the ability's cooldown is reduced to 2 seconds, which is unbelievable (and probably really op)! This allows for consistent damage as well as 2x the Madness gained when coupled with an auto attack (1x for the auto and 1x for the ability cast),
His W, "Warcry, is a Kaadizi's steroid and tool to quickly gain full Madness so that he can repeatedly activate his Q. This is very similar to Olaf's "Reckless Swings" but is toned down and has been given another use due to the continuous casting nature of Kaadizi. So, all in all, Kaadizi will gain bonus attack speed to increase his total damage output, he will also gain bonus life-steal to sustain him throughout the battle, as well as increased Madness generation so that Kaadizi can reach full Madness faster!
His E, "Reckless Approach", allows Kaadizi to focus in on one target and to close a small distance if his target gets away. Keep in mind that this is a VERY short ranged dash, probably less than Lucian's "Dash". I've allowed it to be this short so that Kaadizi will have an excuse to rapid cast this during full Madness. To help balance out the damage abuse that this ability potentially has, I've removed the damage from it. It will be purely a utility tool, not a damage tool.
His R, "Gore", is Kaadizi's way of making it known that he is a "Madman". This ability makes him useful in a teamfight, if he can remain in battle and deal consistent damage. As he rips away at his target with his Q, that damage will translate to all those nearby the enemy target! This makes Kaadizi a prime target for the enemy team, so the reduced damage from other sources will help keep Kaadizi in the fight while still giving him the opportunity to dish out damage. This also gives Kaadizi increased single target damage, so that it's not useless in a 1v1.
