Champion Idea: Zlat, the Black Ooze

Base concept: A combination of Vlad and Zac. The idea crossed my mind a couple days ago, and I ended up combining it with another idea I had for a stealth buffing support. I see it as a potential mana-less support who focuses on beefing or breaking the stats of his fellow champions. He will cast with his health, but in a very odd way. His abilities are based on the names of work-out supplements.

Appearance: It is a yordle sized glob of viscous looking black goo. In direct sunlight it has an alternating red and green sheen. It does have a front-facing side that sports a "face" expressed in cavities to represent eyes and a mouth. When receiving a move command it sometimes looks up at the summoner and smile in place of an audio cue.

Lore: In a heated struggle between Zaun and Piltover, both Vladimir and Zac entered the Fields of Justice. The battle raged for hours. Before long, the champions were bombarded with the magical energies of the Summoners and the Nexus. Zac, overpowered after engaging tried to pull himself back together. Due to clever thinking, he went almost entirely unnoticed. Vladimir, however, immediately fell back and unleashed his plague magic on Zac's globules. To ensure that Zac stayed down, Vladimir pooled and attempted to drain the life from them. The combined might of legendary artifacts, powerful blood magic, hexchem engineering, and the latent enrgies of the nexus; resulted in a being of living blood and slime. As the blood coagulated it rendered the oozling black.

Aware of his origins and his fathers, this new being chose the name Zlat and shied away from humans until he could find some role in the world. He lived primarily in the sewers under the academy of war, studying human society and experimenting on small critters. He attempted Vladimir's magic and found his influence weak. He tried to fight as Zac does and found his body too limited to risk. Without a true model to live up to, Zlat began to become desperate. In a fight with a particularly large rat, Zlat was bitten and a portion of his ooze was swallowed. He found that, although it hurt, he could absorb the rat's blood and even control it from within. Zlat's missing portion finally made it out and fused with his whole. With his new understanding, Zlat began hunting bigger and bigger pray until he finally felt skilled enough and large enough to apply to the league as a neutral fighter. Maybe on the Fields of Justice, fighting against and alongside his fathers, he could find a place to call home.

Abilities

Passive - Beef Up: Zlat can over-heal an additional 50% of his otherwise max HP. When Zlat uses an ability on an enemy or a friendly champion he becomes untargettable and moves with the possessed target. Allied targets gain Zlat's health for the purposes of health-based spells. When this allied champion takes half of Zlat's health or when Zlat cancels the spell he leaves the ally with full health and absorbs any damage taken himself. When Zlat possesses an enemy enemy that enemy games a shield equal to a quarter of Zlat's health. This shield can only be depleted through friendly fire. Once the shield is depleted or when Zlat cancels the spell he leave the enemy and takes whatever damage was done to this shield. In addition he steals 10% of that enemy's health to heal. Once Zlat has been ejected he cannot possess another subject for 20s or until fully healed, whichever comes first.

Q - Flextrose: Increase/Decrease AD

W - Hot Foot: increases/decreases MS

E - Staminaid: Increases HP/Mana regen, Burns %hp/MP

R - Power Core: Allied targets deal 10% of Zlat's max health on autos, Zlat Silences enemy targets.

No to sound mean but this just sounds like a bad champ. He has no real uses and his story just does work well. Good effort though.
