Straight up mage guy

Seriously, most of the mages in this game are themed, want an ice mage? Anivia and Lissandra, raw power mage? Xerath is your guy, Fire mage? welcome to brand. It makes me kind of sad that there's no "Average" mage champion, and by average I mean un-themed, their skills are just the average mage spells, like a fire spell, an ice spell and a thunder spell.

There are so many things that can be done with just a straight up mage guy, hit your thunder spell on a target afflicted with your ice spells debuff to shatter the ice for some AOE damage, hit your ice spell on someone afflicted with your fire spells burn to remove the burn and stun them for a second (you know, cause going from extreme heat to extreme cold is probably gonna mess your body up a bit and ruin your motor skills).

Your ult could just be a spell combiner, use it then press the buttons for the skills you want to combine and boom, combined skill with even more possibly spell combo effects to add, like combining your ice and fire spells to make a frozen fire ball that detonates on hit, burning and slowing people hit.

The possibilities for a straight up mage guy (Yes, I do love saying this) champion are so good to not want, but then again, I grew up with final fantasy 1 and my favorite class was the black mage, so it's mostly just me wanting something old timey to enjoy :/ I feel old now.

I actually really like the idea, i'm imaging this champion based on 3 skill shots one for every different element (fire, ice, thunder) any one of them apply a debuff that last 2 sec, destroyng the debuff with another skill have a conseguence different for every combo, we have then 6 combo (one can be as u said the stun if u hit fire and then ice, another can be a little slow or some spell vamp or increase the dmg dealt to that champ for like 2 sec, but one of this 6 must be something like urgot's E, i mean after hitting for example ice and then thunder all ur skillshot automatically hit the debuffed champ if he is in range, this last for 2 sec). The R is like leblanc's R it have the element of the last skill u used, it have increased range, if it's of fire it will do pure dmg, if it is of ice it will apply like 80% slow and if it is thunder it will do aoe dmg, it's still a skillshot that can become target skill if u hit the cambo i said before. Q W and E all has 6 sec coldown R has 90 sec coldown This Champ passive should be that the max colddown reduction is 50% and the he receive a 20% more coldown reduction from everything gives coldown (if he buy a item that gives 10% coldown he will receive 12% and not only 10 so when he should have 40% he will have 50)

If reach 50% coldown u have your skill every 3 sec so u still wont' able to hit a fire debuffed champion with anoter fire spell couse the debuff only last 2 sec, u won't be able to do more than a rotation of ur skill after hitting for example the ice-thunder combo.

I think it would be a very funny champ with u can do a lot of plays and not even that op couse based on skillshot and doing combos.

This isn't a str8 up mage guy... it's a rip off of the popular Avatar idea.

when you say str8 up mage, one would immediately jump to something like classic arcane abilities like shiny blue stuff flying through the air sorta like Ryze

Ryze is sort of what you described, a "straight up mage". But there is space in the League for a multi-element mage like Invoker.

I really like this idea, but I feel that people may insult it for the same reason it was made: It is an archetypical mage. It could be pretty complex and awesome though. Riot tried to make Ryze the mage archetype but in my opinion he's a bit too unique.
