New Champion Concept! Kayden, the Brightest Darkness

VSeraph··8 votes·1,216 views

I've been working on a champ concept for some time and I thought Its time to see what others think. A man driven insane by tremendous loses and an arm and eye given to him by his sister that she imbued with heavenly magic to save his life from death and madness before she lost hers to....

Xayden, the Brightest Darkness

My goal was to create two unique play styles depending on which you pick at 6. think of it like kah zix hitting 6 and he can evolve a skill. same thing her but you pick once and transform for 5 seconds before fully evolving. This is a champion I think would flourish in LoL. And thanks I want to create a fun to play awesome looking champion that people could love like.

I think I've found his Base stats for now.

Base Stats: HP- 450 +85 per lvl Mana- 250 +50 per lvl AD- 50 +2.6 per lvl Atk speed- 0.600 +0.075 per lvl Armor- 20 +3 per lvl MR- 30 +1.25 per lvl

  • R:Bright Shadow: upon leveling, select either Embrace the dark or embrace the heavens and gain modified Q, W, and E abilities. After picking one, it takes 5 seconds to transform. Embrace the dark: Dark Reach- (passive) gains AD based on 15%,20%,25% of bonus health and 20 base Armor and magic resist And mana is replaced by energy. (Activate) sends a shadow claw forward dealing 150, 175, 200 phys. damage (+50% AD items) and teleport to first champion hit. Embrace the heavens: Pure Wrath Stance- (passive) gain bonus AP based on 20%,30%,40%% of bonus mana and 20 base movement speed. (Activate) auto attacks are now 400 range and gains bonus movement speed.

  • Passive: White Strike- every 5th atk your next auto atk will he a punch with his angelic arm dealing an additional 25/ 35/50/75/100 magic damage. Embrace the dark: add additional 10/20/40/50/75 (scales with level) phys damage. Embrace the heavens: heals for 50% of damage dealt.

  • Q:Pulse Quake-Scare Quake/Knights Quake smashes ground with his angelic arm sending out energy around you dealing 50/65/80/95/110 phys. damage (+AP from items). Embrace the Dark: fears champions for 1.5 seconds. Embrace the heavens: stuns champions for 1.5 seconds.

  • W:Pulse Wave-Darkened Wave/Light Drive Wave: send a short wave of energy forward dealing 60/80/100/120/150 phys. Damage (40% AD items). Embrace the dark: add 75% slow effect for 1 second. Embrace the heavens: gains, then increase the range too 400 on your next auto atk.

  • E:Shade Step: teleport leaving a shadow image that roams freely for 5 seconds. If the image atks a target they take 10/15/20/20/25 (25% AP items) magic damage and it dispels. Embrace the dark: changes to a quick dash forward dealing 60/70/80/90/100 phys. Damage (40% AD items) and empowers your next basic atk dealing (50% AD item). Embrace the heavens: Can shade step twice and grants 100% decaying speed on first cast.

No images yet but when you pick the dark, your sword turns black with a red accent down the middle and his arms keeps some light yellow but gains a black line in the center forearm. And the light one gets blonde hair and gains a light gold aura shield on his angelic arm which is where his ranged atks come from.

So....what do you think? ^_^ I'll have base stats and images soon.

Absolutely love the idea. Choosing which play style you want; Darkness or Heavens with a unique set of abilities for each. Basically 2 champions in 1. That's such an awesome idea.

Kinda of reminds me of Elise or Nidalee but after level 6 you choose between Light or Darkness and it's permanent after you evolve.

Riot PLEASE make this happen.

I like the idea but i do want to ask some follow up ?s if you dont mind

  1. what are the ratios of his Q, W,E i would love to know to get a ruff estiment of his power (sorry bad spelling)

and you can upgrade the passive thats pretty cool and from my knownledge no other champ can upgrade their passives. he has some clear weaknesses and strenghts that can really help him . you want to go split push then go embrace the darkness if you want to go ap team fight then go embrace the heavens and you can customize his abilities so your not stuck to just one where you have to upgrade them all the same nope you basicly created a mix of abilities in one the only other one i can think where you can do that is victor and kha and they only have one.

the only thing i can see going wrong here is balancing him as his kit is so diverse in what it can do post 6 its going to be hard to itemize against him from my prospective hes going to be either weak on release and then he gets over buffed and become a unstopabling killing machine, to strong on release and get nerfed into the center of the earth or one embrace is going to be the better choice and just stick with the stronger path and never touch the other path it would be like Twisted Fate red card back in season 1.

from what i can tell hes not going to be tanky atleast the hp tanky so he can still be bursted down if you catch him plus his pre 6 is weak so lane bullies i would see is

Embrace the darkness Darius ,Illaoi ,Renekton , Riven , MonkeyKing,Camille , Olaf , Irelia pre 6 these are going to be who hes most vunrable to as they are lane bullies and do fuck tons of dmg early

embrace the light Syndra , Annie , Ahri , Fizz , Zed , Lux , Orianna pre 6 these are who hes going to have the most trouble against as they have range and can bust him down since he doesnt get the bonus mr and armor like he does in embrace the darkness

and if you deside to jungle LeeSin , Nidalee , Graves , Shaco , Evelynn , Elise , Hecarim as they are snowbally steal your jungle type champs and all have better sustain than you

if i where to go for items he has a very diverse build path depending on ratios and stuff so if anything i would say he would be the most diverse champ in the game in terms of build options

but from the way i see it if his ratios are good then he will be a nightmare in bronze, silver, gold, Dirt, Cardboard, and toaster elos while in Plat, diamond, master, challanger and LCS he would not be as popular ot atleast one be as oppressive as he is in lower elos as depending on where your going people would start to assume how your going to go like top lane your obviouly going darkness so armor and hp, mid your going light mr. jungle would be the only place people wont know until the perfect build comes and everyone starts to know what your doing and just ruin it.

all in all balance would be his biggest problem

sorry for the long message [slayer-jinx-wink]

Balance is key with him you're right. And thank you so much for your the long comment. I loved your insight! I updated the concept up top :)

LichKing2342 votes

Hmm alright ok thats alittle better but i still dont know his ratios on his Q and W but you did give like who strong they will be at certian lvls witch is good so i got a pretty good idea of how strong he will be if released

currently he might be alittle under-powered but that might be because from his skills the meta most likely wouldnt favor him atleast wouldnt favor one embrace but thats the thing with him since his kit is so diverse in what it can do technically he can fit maybe not as a S rank champ but an A rank he would shine like if all his top counters where banned he would work or atleast some

now anthor problem is he has no form of mobility expect for his like bonus move speed but what i mean is no gap closer, dashs or blinks witch basicly makes him a Juggernaut if your going darkness or atleast mostly darkness. for light its more ap with some assassion potional but since he has no mobility he would have to be a long range caster and Lux , Syndra , Ziggs, Xerath already beat him pretty much all that

so from what i can tell right now he would be slightly underpowered do to all his counters being viable both hard and soft but he does bring alot to the table with his diverse kit so a experienced player would be able to use the diversty of his kit and do pretty good

He has great mobility. His ult in dark mode has a decent reach and teleports you to target champion. Might give light more movement speed in ult. And shade step bro! His E is so much mobility i think

LichKing2342 votes

thats his ult i wave to wait till atleast 5 mins (maybe 7 mins ) before i have some form of gap closer and his E i thought he just sends out a shadow not himself if thats the case then yeah he has some gap closer but if its just him sending out a shadow then its not its just a decently ranged ability

VSeraph1 votes

The E is the bread and butter. Lol teleport a short distance leave a image that roams til it hits a target. But prioitizing champion. Theyd have his base movement speed

LichKing2341 votes

oh ok i miss understood the ability then yeah he can work as a ap assassion just go in like Surpised motherfucker but his ratios is the only thing i dont know about him atleast on the Q and W but again from just his abilities and from whats their i would still say hes an A rank champ can work and is pretty good but not one of the best as his pre 6 is going to be his biggest trouble and do to the nature of his kit hes going to want to snowball and stay ahead so anyone who is able to dumbster him pre 6 is just going to beat him out right since he doesnt really have him empowered abilities witch alot of his power is focused on

also it would be nice to know his stats and by stats i mean base HP base MP Base AS Base AD HP and MP regain (if he uses mana at all) and hp and mp growth per lvl

if you can add that it would be nice [slayer-jinx-wink]

VSeraph1 votes

Ill definitelybring the base stats in an hour or so. But I cant believe I forgot to mention, dark mode would be energy based! Maybe lol

LichKing2341 votes

ah ok thats good :D

VSeraph1 votes

So hes now energy based in Dark mode and base stats I thought up are...><

Base Stats: HP- 450 +85 per lvl Mana- 250 +50 per lvl AD- 50 +2.6 per lvl Atk speed- 0.600 +0.075 per lvl Armor- 20 +3 per lvl MR- 30 +1.25 per lvl

VSeraph1 votes

Question. Should he have scaling atk speed?

LichKing2341 votes

yeah attack speed scale per lvl to

VSeraph1 votes

Is that more realistic?

LichKing2341 votes

yeah all champs attack speed scale with lvl

Jhin is the only champ whos attack speed never scales with items just putting that out there

VSeraph1 votes

Awesome. well I hope they take notice ><

LichKing2341 votes

yeah but i feel like he would be a nightmare to balance without heavy changes to his kit's diversity

VSeraph1 votes

Maybe but in my head its pretty balanced and still strong but not too strong.

LichKing2341 votes

yeah on paper everything takes exacution jhin wasnt considered op do to his not being able to get bonus AA speed having no AA speed streriods then they ahd to nerf him repeatedly, Ivern wasnt considered top teir now he is and has been nerfed.

everything can sound good on paper but when its put in plus with items and runes and mastieries can make or break or booty pound a champ.

VSeraph1 votes

Also, embrace the heavens give 20 base movement speed from passive on ult
