Champion: Helmet Bro, the Void Knight.

*Overview: *

http://i.imgur.com/ZNvAgoG.png Helmet Bro is a melee AP bruiser who uses the Void's own dark powers against them, relying on crippling silences and slowly wearing down his opponents, while shrugging off their own retaliation. Helmet Bro is a dogged warrior, unflinching in his resolve and implacable in his advance. The creatures of the Void will come to fear the name of Helmet Bro.

Lore:

“February Nineteenth, Institute of War, Eastern Outskirts;

My brother Valan and I, were contracted to guard the Institute's Eastern front. There were rumors of something approaching from there.

Void.

It was something from the void, according to the Summoners. Something that while dangerous, should pose little threat to two talented knights like Valan and I. We had our gear ready in an hour, and were hidden in the forest's edge before nightfall.”

“February Twenty-First, Institute of War, Eastern Outskirts;

Whatever it was, it came up on Valan in the night. We're trained warriors, dammit, how did he miss it?

That doesn't matter now. He's dead. Ashes. The only thing left of him was his sword and helmet, both crackling with a strange, violet energy.

Void magic.

Before I could even finish grieving the damned thing fired upon me with a beam of light; same thing that killed Valan, most likely. I managed to dodge it, barely. My cloak and sword were destroyed up to the hilt. I managed to run for a few meters before it caught up with me.

Gods, it was massive. Taller than the trees. Tentacles writhing, three smaller eyes crowned over one colossal retina, a dark slit that flattened as it was charging the blast to end my life.

Only, the blast never came. Summoners from the Institute had arrived, and barely managed to subdue the creature before it had killed me. They took it away with them, and brought me to the infirmary.

I never even got to bury Valan.”

“February Twenty-Second, Institute of War, Infirmary;

I'm fine, dammit, but they won't let me go back to the forest to bury Valan. They won't even let me leave this room – they want me to stay for 'observation'.

They want me to stay so I won't kill them all.

I heard their plans, their whispers. They're letting that monster – that THING – live. The alien beast that killed my brother, took the only thing I cared about in this world from me, and they're letting it go. They're arranging a deal with it! It's going to stay at the Institute and compete in their accursed League, in exchange for knowledge! I'd heard that they dealt with monsters before, but this... This is sickening.

In a flash of dark light, something entered the infirmary, stunning the nurse sent to attend me. On instinct I rose to defend myself, but it was no threat.

It was salvation.

Kassadin, the League Champion, the Voidwalker, had come to me. He presented three things to me; Valan's sword and helmet, along with my own sword hilt, still crackling with that evil energy.

He spoke to me then. “If you want revenge, take it”. With that, he was gone.

I can never thank him enough.

Donning my equipment, I left the infirmary.

If they won't battle the darkness of the Void, then I will.

I'm not alone; Kassadin stands by my side, and Valan watches me from the afterlife.

Vel'Koz will pay. The Void will pay.

Valan Helmen is dead.

Marrak Helmen is dead.

The Helmet of my brother is all that remains.”

Abilities:

Passive – Void Blade: Helmet Bro's basic attacks deal 5(xLevel)+(0.25AP) bonus magic damage.

Q – Dodge Roll/Ashen Strike: Helmet Bro nimbly rolls a short distance away. For three seconds afterword, Helmet Bro's next attack becomes Ashen Strike, allowing Helmet Bro to leap to an enemy's location, dealing additional magic damage and silencing them.

Bonus Magic Damage: 30 / 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 (+0.40 AP) Cooldown: 8 seconds

Silence duration: 2 seconds.

For an accurate leap range, think Rengar's passive (600 units).

W – Cloak of Shadows: Helmet Bro raises his cloak, gaining a temporary spell shield that lasts two seconds. If Cloak of Shadows absorbs a spell, Helmet Bro releases the spell's energy, dealing the spell's damage type in an area around him. The spell does not copy the enemy spell's damage, only the damage type.

Damage: 75/95/115/135/155

Cooldown: 14 seconds.

Area of effect: About 425 units. (For comparison, Darius' Decimate has a 425 unit range)

E – Void Blast: Passive: Helmet Bro stores charges for each spell used by a nearby enemy champion in his helmet. His helmet can hold six charges, and charges deteriorate one at a time every three seconds.

Active: Helmet Bro releases a blast of Void energy in a thin line from his helmet, dealing magic damage and slowing the first enemy champion in the line. The spell does 10% bonus damage for each charge stored in the helmet before using Void Blast.

Magic Damage - zero charges: 70/115/160/205/250 (+0.50 AP)

Magic Damage - six charges: 112/184/256/328/400 (+.50 AP)

Cooldown: 16/14/12/10/8 seconds.

Spell range: About 600 units.

R (Ultimate) – The Purge: Helmet Bro draws his brother's sword, and stabs it into the ground. The blade releases its stored Void energy for six seconds, dealing magic damage and perpetuating a Silencing field around a small area. Enemies cannot cast spells while in the area, and Helmet Bro gains bonus magic resistance while standing in the Silencing field.

After the six seconds the Silencing field collapses in on itself, dealing magic damage to them.

Magic Damage - Explosion: 200/325/450 (+.45 AP)

Magic Damage - Implosion: 225/375/500 (+.45 AP)

Bonus Magic Resist: 45/60/75

Area of effect: About 500 units.

Quotes: http://i.imgur.com/2QzHpPp.jpg

In champion select:

"They made a mistake letting me live."

Movement:

"They think they can reign free in our land. They're wrong."

"I've got promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep."

"They're more corrupt than you realize."

"They've made a deal with the devil. I'll show them why that was a mistake."

"Valan, I will make sure you haven't died in vain."

"I've seen true terror. Nothing else will ever come close."

"For a better world."

"Bring evil unto evil."

Attacking:

"For Valan!"

"Retribution!"

"Death to the Void!"

"Your magic is useless here!"

"Death to the mage!"

"Suffer not the Void-born to live!"

Joke:

Helmet Bro takes off his helmet, balancing it on the tip of his sword.

"One part head gear, two parts stylish."

"I guess you could call using the Void to kill the Void hypocritical, but... Shut up."

Taunt:

Helmet Bro points his sword forward as it glows and crackles with purple energy.

"You. Will. Die."

"FOR VALAN. FOR RUNETERRA. YOU. SHALL. NOT. PASS."

In Closing:

I got bored, decided Helmet Bro is the best champion ever, and needed a kit.

Before, I thought that Helmet Bro's status as a champion should have been nothing but a joke.

I no longer think that.

Riot plz.

Yes.

Would be cool if kassadin was his brother and he's fighting because the void took him. Irony being that Kassadin escaped but he's been so tainted by the void that his brother can't recognise him. Could be an epic and sad story as lore.

Let's give the reasons why this Champion needs to be in League.

  1. Originality. As many champion concepts completely ignore the League of Legends and the Institute of War entirely, Marrak Helman (Ok, fine, Helmet Bro...) brings back to life the original concept that started with the League of Legends. A simple quest for vengeance against a ruthless monster Velkoz , who had killed his brother. In the end, as I listened to the lore along with the awesome voiceover, I felt drawn back to the original lore that started in Season One. The League was supposed to be a simple trial of arms that resolved most conflicts in Valoran, yet, in today's lore, the wars between the Main Cities still continue on, with no reference to the League entirely. I think one of the main points Helmet Bro drives in is the resurrection of the old lore. Champions need some ties to the past, and this lore fits it perfectly.

  2. The abilities. They're very thematic for this sort of champion, but, in my opinion, I kinda felt they lacked originality. Such as, for example, Cloak Of Shadows, it's basically a combination of Sivir's Sivir Spell Shield and the New Sion's Sion Soul Furnace. The Q is like Rengar's Rengar leap, and the E is similar to Kassadin's Kassadin Void Pulse. The ultimate was a very thematic spell for Marrak, but, as I play through the PBE, I keep going back to a Damaging PBE Soraka Soraka E. However, despite with these similarities, I found these spells easy to relate to, and very useful in fights.

  3. Champion overall. Helmet Bro is one of those few sideline characters that everyone rarely takes notice, but, as you get closer to him and learn more about the champion itself, you'll find a plethora of surprises in store. Not only it relates towards some champion's ideas of vengeance, but, Marrak is a character that can easily be related to. Also, most Void champions didn't feel compelling when they were first presented. I rarely see Vel'Koz anymore on Ranked Matches Velkoz. With Marrak, he brings together a useful kit, combined with an effective lore, that players will want to use a lot of the time.

TL:DR: Marrak Helman, or Helmet Bro, brings together originality and a useful playset to create a champion worthy of The Void. Easily a 10/10. RIOT, you'd better be taking notes. This is how you make CHAMPIONS.

I like everything except one part: the silence on his Q is exactly what Riot is removing from champions.

Instant targeted CC, especially with his W and ulti to avoid damage, would result in a mage being unable to counter anything he did at all.

The silence can't exist on his Q, other than that, I think its actually an awesome idea. But as awesome as "Helmet Bro" is, I think he would need a proper name.

The Bunnÿ10/10/2014, 1:32:08 AM4 votes

did some quick math on his passive, and realized its probably the most broken thing i have ever heard of without sacrificing much

build: nashor's tooth 123.89+15 for the damage on autos=====138.89 deathcap
lich bane
zhonya's deathfire grasp Unique: Deals 15% of target champion's maximum health in magic damage and applies the debuff, Doom. Doom amplifies all magic d damage that champion takes by 20% for 4 seconds. hextech gunblade you now have a total of 734.5 abillity power lets add in runes

9 flat ad 9 armor or hp 9 ap flat 1.19 10.71 3 ap flat 5 15 total is now 760.21

masteries 21/9/0 another 22 ap at level 18 782.21 increase ap by 5% 821.32 TOTAL AP
that is probably 95% right.

NOW TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE ON PASSIVE Helmet Bro's basic attacks deal 5(xLevel)+(0.25AP) bonus magic damage. ========295.33 18 (821.32*.25) thats not including any item uniqueness just ap, runes and masteries granting ap

now for the real hard part lets give him azir base stats for simplicity going by level 18

ad=97.4 //\ attack speed=0.6 (+25.5%)=?+nashoors 50% ??????

lich bane= 75% base AD (+ 50% AP) bonus magic damage. 73.05+410.66=483.71 damage on basic attack after using a ability. include the ad of 97.4=581.11 + passive damage=876.44 + nashoors 138.89 all that damage now = 1015.33 BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE

we forgot DEATHFIRE GRASP unique passive debuff applying doom BUT that comes in later because we forgot about MASTERIES

+3% increased damage +5%ap(41.06) on basic attack+ attacks below 50%hp on enemeis deal extra 5% DEAR GOD THERE IS SO MUCH this is more work than i did in first year of college #sadlife

#i give up point is doom at 1046.39 does bonus of 209.278

1255.65 damage including basic attack, lich bane, deathfire, arcane blade mastery, nashoor's tooth. NOT INCLUDING +3%increased damage and below 50%hp enemies

on ONE AUTO ATTACK. take off doom and you now have

more than 1046.39 damage every single auto attack.

needs to be changed

So I'm not sure if I like that random passive he has, but god damn it would I love this guy if he were real.

What is bro may never die.

EDIT - If this is truly the one and only Helmet Bro, then obviously he would need some kind of revive in his kit, because he's clearly invincible.

Omg his splash is SO BAD. He looks like Vel'koz is killing him and he can't do anything about it. Make it so he's winning some battle. But I guess, a good idea? Also a bad name

Doesn't his q sort of act like ekkos e? He dashes and has a teleporting auto-attack.

Love the idea so much it hurts. But 'Helmet Bro'? Velkoz 's rival should have a much cooler name, cuz I doubt Rito will allow a name like Helmet bro. And he must be Velkoz 's rival. No questions. Will fund this if Rito hadn't summoner 1 ed my wallet out. Get it? No ok.
