So I had this idea pop into my head while watching the LCS since it currently features a lot of Jhin, and I was thinking "Hm.... what if we made a more poke related AD mid laner? Like if Jhin and Xerath were fused into one, what would that look like?" So, I decided to brainstorm my ideas here in an attempt to make a concept that I'd like feedback on. (The image isn't art that I've made- I just put it there for a bit of flavor and color).

On this, I have drafted a champion idea for lore and kit - Damio, the Soulless Sharpshooter.

LORE:

Damio was generally an isolated bounty hunter, wandering Runeterra for most of his life searching for work in order to survive. With his trusty rifle, Endeavor, the mercenary found himself at an intersection of two countryside roads walking past a cloaked stranger.

"So you're the one I've been hearing about..." the mysterious man said.

Damio stayed silent - he doesn't talk to others unless it's 100% necessary.

"I've got a job for you, but it'll be a bit tricky to find him now. A serial killer, focused on the 'beauty' behind death or something. A real nutcase if you ask me. I can make it worth your while... considering you need to pay some dues."

The dues are to a crime boss that allowed him to live and leave the organization on one condition - earn him money to satiate his greed for the rest of his breathing days. Since his only way of acquiring money was assassination, he was stuck essentially working for him anyway without support from his old comrades - having no place to belong and no one to depend on, causing him to become merciless.

"Where was he last seen?" Damio asks, realizing he has no other option but to accept his offer.

The strange man grows a smirk over his face and begins to chuckle... "Where else would he be?"

BASE STATS: AD: 70 AP: 0 AR: 30 MR: 25 MS: 320 HEALTH: 550 MANA: 350 HEALTH REGEN: 3.5 per 5 MANA REGEN: 3 per 5 CASING (Reload Resource) REGEN: .5 per 5 ABILITIES:

Passive- Tactical Sight Damio has no auto attack. Instead, right clicking an enemy puts them in his sights after a brief channel, granting vision on them for a longer range than usual (+500 units, scales with level up to +2500 at level 18). He can only mark one target at a time, loses the mark after they leave his immediate vision range for 5 seconds, and they must be within his immediate vision in order to mark them (1000 units). Additionally, he begins the game with a point in his Q - Bolt Action that can be leveled another five times for a total of 6.

Q - Bolt Action Damio fires a shot in a thin line, hitting the first enemy or structure struck for 10/30/50/70/90/110 +(100% AD) physical damage. If the target is marked by Tactical Sight, alternatively you can highlight them to shoot them directly for the price of reducing the damage dealt by 20%. If the target is a turret that is not targeting a unit other than you it deals 90% less damage. This applies on-hit effects. Range: 1000/1100/1200/1300/1400/1500 Cost: 30 Mana, 1 Casing Cooldown: 4 Seconds (all ranks)

W - Extra Magazine

Passive - Reduces Casing Regen time by 0.25/0.5/0.75/1/1.25 seconds.

Active: Damio swaps clips for his rifle, immediately restoring his Casing capacity to full. After reloading, Bolt Action's cooldown is reduced by 50% for 5 seconds. He can store up to two extra clips at one time. (Think Vel'Koz's W.)

COST: 60 Mana Cooldown: 45 / 40 / 35 / 30 / 25 seconds

E - Explosive Rounds

Damio fires an explosive bullet from his sidearm at a point on the ground marked by a red dot, dealing 80/100/120/140/160 + (40% AD) magic damage. Enemies in the outer ring of the explosive are slowed by 40% for 1 second, while those in the center of the blast are knocked up instead. If there was a marked target in the explosion, the ability deals 50% extra damage and the knockup duration is increased to 2 seconds. COST: 80 Mana , 1 Casing RANGE: 800 Units FIRING DELAY: 0.5 seconds

R - Endeavor's Surprise

Damio readies his rifle for a powerful trickshot for 5 seconds, while marking all champions within a set range of him with Tactical Sight. He then fires a devastating bullet that travels between all marked targets starting with the one with the lowest health, dealing 100/200/300 + (80% AD) plus 6% / 8%/ 10%/ of the target's missing health as physical damage, reduced by 20% for each target hit beyond the first.

COST: 100 Mana Cooldown: 90 Seconds VISION RANGE: 2000 RANGE BETWEEN TARGETS: 1500

Playstyle:

I designed Damio to be a long range AD caster type champion for the mid lane that felt more unique than most other champs while not sacrificing on effectiveness. Some pros would be his significant range and damage on his Q and R, and some weaknesses including a lack of mobility, most of his damage being a skillshot and single target, and the low mana pool for his abilities (on top of not having an auto attack, so you have to rely on your abilities for any damage whatsoever). I thought this would be kind of cool as a concept, but I doubt Riot will actually execute something like this.

Anyway, leave your thoughts below if you'd like. I just like creating characters a lot of the time (even though the backstory on this one is particularly short and....well, bland.)
