Harek is an AP tank top laner with good poke and wave clear, and great utility and CC for his team. He however needs to build up his Light and Ultimate passive in order to work effectively in late game teamfights.

Lore

Origin: Demacia Enemies: Garen, Jarvan IV, Lux, Warwick, Galio Friends: None

Born to a poor family in the slums of Demacia, Harek was orphaned very early on in his life. Nobody was interested in raising a child born to the slums, and thus he was left to fend for himself from the very beginning. Although Harek knew he was betrayed by the people he lived with and shared the same culture with, he was not ready to disown his land. He thought the slums and his life we better than the life of any Noxian or Piltoverian, and especially better than Bilgewater.

One day, Harek was out in the forests, searching for firewood to live through the cold night. On his way back home, he was spotted by Warwick. Harek, being a fragile young boy all alone, seemed like the easiest prey for Warwick's claws.

But he underestimated Harek. And Harek himself did too.

Warwick pounced next to Harek, who quickly dropped the firewood and ran. He ran, not knowing where he was heading. The opposite direction of home, though, that he knew.

The chase went on for a few minutes, but Harek ended up getting cornered. Warwick has won, Harek could no longer escape.

But Harek wasnt ready to die, just yet.

Harek found his true power. He dashed through the particles of light around him and Warwick, and striking him with as much force as he could use, with the little experience he had. It was enough to get Warwick away.

The light however, was seen by the eyes of Garen. He knew magic well, and he knew that the light he saw, was not natural. He investigated the light he saw for the next 19 years.

Harek, now an adult, still doing the same things he did 19 years ago, was out collecting firewood. He practiced his light controlling power secretly in the morning, when nobody was around in the forests. He had come close to perfecting the gift he was given. His interest in the gift had gotten the better of him, however. Instead of a basic axe. He used the sharpness of the light to cut down his trees. One day, he was careless, not bothering to look around the forest before using his powers, and he was caught by a man.

The man was called Garen.

Harek, being a person from the slums, was shown no mercy. Harek knew the story of Lux, and her powers, and how she had been spared because she was from the royal family, but he was quickly exiled by Jarvan IV.

Harek's powers were taken away by Galio, and he was immediately exiled.

Walking out of the gates of Demacia, filled with rage and the feeling of betrayal, Harek tried to reignite the light that had been taken away from him. day after day, he tried, until one day...

A spark.

"I used to call Demacia my home. It took away everything i had. Now, its time for it to feel the same feelings i went through. Every. Single. Day"

Appearance

Harek is a skinny man, wearing a torn up robe covering all of his body except his face, hands and feet. he wears brown leather sandals and has a long wooden cane in his hand right hand that he uses during the walk animation and casting of his abililties. Harek's skin is tan, and he is rather skinny, with a wrinkly face and a huge grey beard. Harek's basic skin picture is similar to Zilean's except he stands straight, facing the player, with darkness all around him, except a little bit of light glowing from Harek himself. His face can be seen clearly through the darkness, his face filled with anger and betrayal. His head is covered with a long black silk thing (Think an islamic hijab?)

Kit

Q- Rekindling Flames Light required: 0 Cooldown: 11/10/9/8/7 Range: 850 (X radius 300) Line shillshot, similar to Lucian W or Velkoz Q. Cost: 70 Mana initial, 40 Mana for dash.

Harek fires an orb at target direction, dealing 80/120/160/200/240 (+80% Light) to all minions and the first champion hit. Upon reaching max range or hitting the first champion. The orb transforms into an X before fading away (think lucians W), dealing 40/60/80/100/120 (40% Light), knocking away all nearby enemies and marking them with Vengeance. Harek can then reactivate Rekindling Flames once, while on cooldown, to dash behind a marked enemy. This consumes and activates the mark, rooting them for 0.75 seconds and causes them to take 8/9/10/11/12% bonus damage from each allied champions first damaging spell or attack, within 4 seconds. This ability goes on CD after 4 seconds or a mark is consumed. If Harek dashes to an enemy afflicted by Spark, he can dash to another enemy (Max 3 total enemies). He cannot dash to the same enemy twice. The Bringer of Justice deals double damage from the activated Vengeance.

W- Light's Sting Cooldown: 16/15.5/15/14.5/14 Range: 1100 Line skillshot, similar to Viktors E or Rumbles R Cost: 80/90/100/110/120 mana Light required: 50

Passive: Gains 10/20/30/40/50 armor, increased by 10% for each 50 armor he has (not counting armor gained from this passive) and 10/20/30/40/50 magic resist, increased by 10% for each 30 magic resist he has (not counting magic resist gained from this passive)

Harek takes off his head cover, tossing it in a line. After 1 second it lands in targeted area, rooting all enemies hit for 1 second and dealing 110% Light + 8% (12% for enemies afflicted by Spark) max health magic damage to all champions and minions hit. Reactivating this ability causes the cover to dash back to Harek's head. causing all enemies hit by the cover on its way back to get knocked up for 1 second. This ability rewards good positioning. The passive portion of this ability is lost as long as the cover is not on Harek's head head. The head cover automatically returns to Harek after 5 seconds.This ability goes on CD after the head cover returns to Harek. The knockup is increased by 1 second for enemies afflicted by Spark. If the Brother of Justice is hit by the returning cover, their next hard CC ability's duration is increased by 0.5 seconds.

E- Discharge Toggled ability Cooldown: 6/6/6/6/6 Range: 800 initial spark, 400/450/500/550/600 spark over time. AoE around Harek, similar to Amumu W Cost: 40 mana + 22/24/26/28/30 mana per second. Light required: 25

A strong surge of light comes out of Melasurej, afflicting all nearby enemies with Spark. He slows himself by 50%, and releasing a cloud of strong light, dealing 10/20/30/40/50 magic damage per seocnd to nearby enemies, as well as slowing them by 25% for 0.5 seconds. Whenever the Brother of Justice is in his light field, their movement speed is increased by 30% and their cooldown reduction is increased by 20% (Does not break the cap). He applies Spark to nearby enemies every 3 seconds.

R- Power of the Light Base Cooldown : 45/30/15, Reduced by 10% for each 50 Light he gets (Max 40%) Range: 350 +1 for each 1 Cult he has (Max 500/650/800) Cost: 50 Mana Light required: 80

Passive: Harek gains 25 mana whenever he hard CC's an ememy (Max 1500), he can only gain mana from each enemy champion once every 30 seconds.

Harek remembers his past, filling him with rage, causing him to dash to an enemy champion, stunning them for 1/1.25/1.5 and knocking them towards his Brother of Justice and shielding himself for 10/15/20% of his maximum health and his Brother of Justice for half of that for 2 seconds. Harek can use Power of the Light on a Brother of Justice to dash them to him, sheilding only them for 25% of Hareks maximum health for 1 second. If Harek dashes to an enemy afflicted by Vengeance, he deals 75/125/175 magic damage to them and refunds 75% of the cooldown as well as shielding himself ONLY and knocking them towards to the Brother of Justice and stunning them, but consuming the mark and causing him to no longer be able to recast Rekindling Flames.

Passive - Lost Light

Brother of Justice: Harek starts with an item called "Faded Cane".

Faded Cane: Passive: Shares Harek's light with chosen ally, bonding with them and making them the Brother of Justice (1250 Range) (5 second cooldown, reduced by CDR) The CD and usage of abilities can differentiate a good Harek from a bad Harek.

Can be upgraded to the Glowing Cane for 3000 gold. Can be sold and bought for 0 gold.

Glowing Cane: Shares the same passive with the Faded Cane Active: Afflicts an enemy with Spark (20 second cooldown) Grants him all Brother of Justice buffs (excluding R) +40 HP per level +10 Armour per level +8 MR per level

Returning the Gift: Affecting an enemy with hard CC grants Harek 3 Light. Harek gains 1 Light per 10 seconds (ONLY HAREK) Light grants Harek 1 Armour and Magic resist per 15 Light Light is also shared with the Brother of Justice (each ally has their own separate Light) Allies gain 1 AD or AP (Adaptive) per 10 Light Harek needs a certain amount of light to gain access to most of his abilities

COSMETIC: after 10 light, Harek gains a shiny light aura under his feet (grows stronger each 50 light), this aura has no purpose.

Finally a well designed tank of nah? [zombie-brand-mindblown]

This is a cool idea, I like the concept of a twisted old man, along with his unique mechanics. However in terms of thematic I'm a little worried his powers would be a bit to reminiscent of Lux's. I'm not suggesting a complete overhaul in that sense, but perhaps some rethinking. In terms of his kit, as I said before I really do like it, I just personally would like to see a bit more built onto the buying the cane mechanic. All in all, great work! God bless! NdelokRojo
