What if Demacia's next champion was a bandit?

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.

I think you're right that his companion should be allowed more, but I also think that his companion shouldn't be like Valor in the way that Valor can do things by himself. The bringing a dog into LoL has been asked by many and when I was thinking of a bandit, the best picture was the one with a pet so I added it into the passive and E.

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

He shouldn't, he's against the lifestyle and this is just a found image from google.

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.

And what if the next Noxus champion is a protector.

Nice concept.

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.

Sometimes, when thinking of a character, you think of something that doesn't fit with the story to allow it to grow. Demacia cannot be a perfect city with no crime, as other cities also deal with evil. Demacia cannot be like that, or it would be a toltarian democracy, under the king. Either way, people like the one I made up will show up. The story of the thief's past isn't set. Heck, we don't even have a name for him. As for the dog, that's your opinion. Nunu gets the yeti because that was his story, him and his yeti bro are a team. Annie shows her power by (at first bringing her bear to life) taming a wild (fire?) bear. Quinn finds Valor at a young age and they become a powerful duo. Fizz tamed a shark that was wrecking havoc in Bildgewater. Sejuani's boar is just a better version of a horse. Each person has a pet that kind-of relates to who they are and where they're from. Possibly, the thief was a poor orphan who cared for a hurt pup, he trained the pup as he grew up to do certain attacks one thought impossible and BAM! a back story for the dog.
