Ability: Shedding

Teslyn··40 votes·3,360 views

It is that time again... after a heavy night of drinking, i got to thinking.. Also i blame imgur for that creepy ass snake gif.. http://media.giphy.com/media/MeaIHfIcjVYM8/giphy.gif we all know things like QSS and GP oranges.. and zhonyas and other things along that lines.. but wouldnt it look so cool to have a champion that when hit up with Debuffs can leave that outer shell behind? ? O.. you got exhausted.. now its on that shell instead of you.. Here is something that could be really cool about it.. O.. you took blue buff and you want to give it to someone.. shed that thing off.. and who ever stands on it can get the buff / Debuff that you just removed off you.. ??? think of Rift herald buff how when you kill him it sits there.. right.. now if it sits for too long it goes away.. right? now think about a champion that can take any buff/debuff of them and put it in this thing that any team member can pick up.. Freaking Crazy .. right.. then you throw an AOE slow around it so you can use it as an escape if you are running.. and bam.. a functional utility ability.. also .. the person that sheds the abilities and actually pick them back up if they wanted them. you got Baron and your split pusher died??? no problem.. shed that buff off and give it to him. You got Red and want to deliver it to bot lane.. NP ... shed that puppy right off.. Your mid laner needs mana and you just stole the enemy blue buff.. no problem.. shed that puppy right off.. Malzahar ults you.. no problem.. shed that puppy off and he can be happy enough to keep ulting that shell till he decides to stop. SHEDDING .. not only creepy but functional.. i need your love community and we can have a potentially creepy ass champion here. https://m.popkey.co/f5ab91/466A1_s-200x150.gif?c=popkey-web&p=starbucks&i=frappuccino-brands&l=search&f=.gif also for the trolls in all of us. someone backing after a team fight or not paying attention and you hand deliver a Zed ult right to them.. say thank you to your new team mate. . Edit: i do believe in this ability but i dont draw. Threw a kit together for a canceled champion and i am hoping atleast this ability and 1 more could filter over to an actual champion. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/BRhvrfkX-champion-design-omen

Sounds pretty op, there would need to be something in place to balance it. Maybe it could be a passive that works similar to Azir's?

Make it easier by putting in on a weaker champion. I think it'd be fun as a jungler, but you'd need a good assassin jungler for it. Something squishy that takes a lot more skill than simply click and drop.

not to point out OP verses OP.. but every champion brings something to the table.. something that makes them stand out.. and dont look at it as .. OMG this is OP.. look at it as in, should i use this and when?
Balancing this is basically about putting odd limitations on it and messing with numbers..

I mean, anything can sound OP without context. A built-in second Smite that heals you and gives you pretty big buffs depending on what you smite, which means you will never lose Dragon/Baron and you'll never die to invades?

Animals are very vulnerable just after shedding, what if you gained a little Move Speed (since you're lighter) but you lost like half of your resistances before the skin/carapace has a chance to harden? Maybe you can't access a part of the kit (like unmounted Kled) until you got the shell again? Or you could do another thing Kled does and lower the total amount of HP you have while you're freshly shed?

By itself it isn't very OP... yes you can avoid enemy CC/Debuffs... but if you can't do anything else powerful or useful... then it doesn't really do much good... since why even bother wasting CC/debuffs on such a champion? Yeah it might be annoying and difficult to kill... but still that doesn't make the champion strong or good at actually winning the game

It would feel a LOT like Wukong's Decoy and would probably be better.

I really like this idea. Balance would be very tricky... If it's a passive, and you can just click on the buff/debuff to drop it, then it would need a CD (either flat or based on the remaining duration of the buff/debuff). If it is a skill, I think it would have to drop ALL buffs/debuffs (not able to if in a situation you cannot cast spells like stunned/silenced/suppressed etc). Would the drop buffs/debuffs act like a trap and/or a right-click (like thresh's lantern)? I see it as a fun utility, but i fear Jarvan/Bard ult situation where your team screams 'STOP HELPING!!!'

the balance would be in the effect of.. if you have a good buff you want to keep .. but someone is chasing you .. shedding off the skin would leave a small puddle that would slow down the enemy champion. you have to make a choice. keep buff and possibly die.. just drop the buff and the enemy can pick it up.. but you could get away.

also if you had Debuffs on you .. the enemy could pick them up and be stunned in them .. or slowed.. if they walk through the skin... not a passive.. you drop everything. and get a chance to run.

lol imagine if Zed ults you and you drop his mark just for him to accidentally pick it up :-p
