I think it would be very cool to have a thief who uses a dog as his helper, as the dog will follow the champion but is not targetable.

His story will be him being a lone crime robber who has it out for Jarvan IV and his nice lifestyle.

He will be a fighter, only. He will use mana.

His kit:

[P] Bonus strike - the dog deals bonus damage every 4th attack. It deals 70% of the current attack damage. [Q] Double hit - the next attack deals two fast attacks. The second attack deals from half the damage to a full double strike. [W] Dogde - passively after every few seconds, this feature is active. You dodge the next basic attack. Can activate to dodge 1 ability (lasts for 3 seconds) then goes on a longer cool down. Passive is in-active while on cool down. [E] Sick 'em - you send out your dog in a straight line as a skill shot to snare an enemy for 2 seconds. The enemy is dealt damage if hit. [R] Slit Throat - If in close range, you critically slit the enemy to deal major damage, slow them for 2 seconds, and make them bleed for the next 3 seconds dealing a small damage based on your AD.

He'd even have a hunter skin as his first skin.

And a death skin.

Decent idea cough The kit isn't very well-fleshed out and kinda boring, but the idea is fine nonetheless. The "Dog Companion" idea is an idea that a lot of people have wanted to explore, and I think if handled properly could make an interesting champion.

It's really tough to make somebody "A fighter, only." because a fighter is a blend of an assassin and a tank. You can easily build a fighter into either of those.

Try to blend the dog more into all of his abilities. Maybe where his W has an active with him in his dog, while you keep the passive so it actives with the actual passive.

idk he looks too noxusy or maybe freljord cool concept but it doesn't fit very well with the theme of demacia

The lore wouldn't realy mix well, saying how Demacia is prosperity through hard work, unlike Noxus. That and the charictor's clothes look more like something from Woad skins or the Frejlord with major Noxian influences.

Isn't Demacia a strict militant state? I don't a "high profile thief" would exist within their city. Also, "cushy lives" don't really exist in Demacia - even the prince is a hardened war veteran (/dead, since the popular theory is that he's LeBlanc in disguise).

I think the tough guy with a warm spot for his faithful pooch would be more suitable to a Noxian or Freljordian character, personally. He'd work as a Demacian if he was a lawful character, but non-lawful characters don't suit the setting.

If I'm honest, I think the League of Legends is unlikely to have a dog companion with a positive relationship with its master. It's more likely the pet will be a fantasy creature, or something more appropriate for a fantasy setting, such as a merman and a dolphin (or a yeti, bore or teddy bear, etc). For a fairly generic dog, a more cut-throat, slave-driver, beastmaster might be more appropriate. One where, in his death animation, his dogs turn on him.

And what if the next Noxus champion is a protector.

Nice concept.
