[Champion Concept] Caithe, the Petmaster
Hey folks, this is my first champion concept, so be kind pls :3 Apart from that im not a native english speaker (sry if there are mistakes). My idea behind this Champ was to create a 2in1 Champ that would actually work in League and also feel like 2 Champs (not at all like Quinn or Kindred). So I created Caithe and her pet Gordon.
Caithe, the Petmaster
Passive - Petmaster Caithe controls a pet called Gordon. Gordon is devoted and cant stay farther than 1000 units away from Caithe (this range is permanently visible for Caithe) (if necessary Gordon is able to jump over walls to stay in range but he receives increased damage outside of the 1k radius). Gordon's Stats: Movement Speed: 100/103,33/106,67/110% of Caithes Movement Speed (at Level 1/6/11/16) Armor/MR: 65/70/75/80% of Caithes Armor/MR (at Level 1/6/11/16) Health: 70/75/80/85% of Caithes Health (at Level 1/6/11/16) Attack Speed: 0,75/0,9/1,05/1,2 (+5/10/15/20% of Caithes Attack Speed) (at Level 1/6/11/16) Range: 150 (Caithe has a range of 450) If Gordon becomes unable to fight (0 health) he will become untargetable and stay close to Caithe. When Caithe is out of combat Gordon regenerates 3/4/5/6% (at Level 1/6/11/16) of his maximum health per second to join the battle again once hes at full health. Apart from that Gordon has a rage bar that fills with basic attacks (half amount from Caithes basic attacks) [should work more like Gnar's bar than Shyvana's].
Q - Move! Command Gordon to move to the targeted location and attack an enemy (if available) [this skill works like Tibbers or Shaco's clone]. The first attack on an enemy marks him. Caithe deals increased damage to a targeted enemy (only one enemy can be targeted at the same time. Gordons AD is equal to 25/30/35/40/45% of Caithe's AD and AP. This ability can still be used when Caithe gets CCed (this ability has to be skilled at level 1).
Range 1000 - no cooldown - no costs
W - Attack! Gordon gains a 45/50/55/60/65% speed buff that decays over 3 seconds. If Gordon hits an enemy within the next 5 seconds the enemy will be slowed for 2/2,25/2,5/2,75/3 seconds by 40%. Additionally: if Caithe hits a slowed enemy within the next 8 seconds she will deal 50/70/90/110/130 (+50% Bonus AD) (+3/3,5/4/4,5/5% of enemy's maximum health) physical damage.
Manacosts 50/55/60/65/70 - Cooldown 22/20,5/19/17,5/16
E - Caltrops Caithe jumps in a high arch (350 range) to the targeted position and scatters caltrops on her way [works like Corki W] that deal 20/40/60/80/100 (+20% Bonus AD)(+30% AP) physical damage per second over 5 seconds. The caltrops slow enemies by 20%. If Gordon is close to Caithe (200 units) he will strengthen her jump. Caithe then leaps with 600 range to the targeted position and deals 50/75/100/125/150 (+20% AD) physical damage in a radius of 250. In this case the caltrops are scattered in this radius instead of on her way.
Manacosts 70/75/80/85/90 - Cooldown 16/15/14/13/12
R - Vault!/Comfort Animal Vault!: Can only be activated when Gordon has a full rage bar. Gordon vaults with a range of 350 to a targeted location dealing 100/200/300 (+40% AD)(+60% AP) physical damage. For the next 5 seconds Caithe and Gordon gain 10/15/20% movement speed and 30/35/40% attack speed. Comfort Animal: If Gordon is unable to fight, caithe can use Comfort Animal to care for Gordon increasing his passive healing by 300%. Moving or hard CC will interupt the ability. Using Comfort animal will refresh 40% of the cooldown.
Manacosts 100 - Cooldown 100/90/80
I highly appreciate any kind of feedback. Things like stats and scalings are hard to balance on paper. But feel free to write anything u want to talk about. If you have any questions ask me pls, I will edit the post with a Q&A.
I edited this post to update the champ a little bit
Some additional thoughts:
I think of Caithe as a Toplaner (Black Cleaver might be a core item). She could work in the jungle aswell and let Gordon tank a bit (though you have to be careful with the aggro switch due to camp resets). I changed the Q spell as suggested from a Jarvan like passive DoT to simple increased Damage (to not have 2 Damage modifiers on Q AND W).
She does not have a revolutionary kit because she doesnt need it (not every new champ needs some new mad mechanic).
Regarding her W: WIthin the next 8 seconds she can deal the bonus damage ONCE. But it works with any slow. This works because she can slow enemies by 20% with her E and then use her W for extra damage even though Gordon is unfit for fighting. Otherwise she would have less than nothing without Gordon.
