#Lore

He was sent to Noxus as a final hope to keep to peace through spiritual traditional means, under Karma’s direction. He traveled to Noxus and seen the horrors of their culture. Yet, he understood why this way of life was not chaos, but a different look on natural order; there is order to power and there is order through peace.

He now holds both ideologies as equals, but struggles to act in accordance to one way of thinking, feeling, and being. This inability for a singular self direction tormented his mind, and outlook of the world. He now travels alone, still struggling.

He seeks both Swain and Karma to have a final consult with both of them at once. He will not rest, and cannot rest, until the he learns of the best path. Be it through means of talk or war, he will use any path to get himself to that final decision.

#Abilities

##PASSIVE: Restless Missionary Self Targeted Mark | Cooldown Reduction Modifier

Whenever crowd control is applied to Quintus, he gains a stack of Relentless Missionary. All stack are lost after 4.0 seconds with the countdown starting after the all crowd control is removed.

After the mark is applied, all of his ability cooldowns are reduced by 1.0 second for every stack of Restless Missionary he has. The Defend the Frail / Smite the Weak cooldown will not be effected. Quintus can store up to a maximum of 10 stacks.

Quintus chooses a path of his curren stance, and begins to charge then emanate with divine enegery with Defend the Frail stance active or malicious energy with Smite the Weak stance active. Allied champions are protected by Divine Emanation and enemy champions are weakened by Malicious Emanation.

  • Emanation can be canceled early by casting the spell again.

##Defend the Frail Stance

Divine Emanation: After a charge for .75 seconds, Quintus will radiate Divine energy for 2 / 3 / 4, freeing allies of all debuffs on cast near him, and grant increase all regenerative effects by 100% / 200% / 300% to allies while near Quintus in a small area.

#Design Notes

##Champion Design Inspirations

KarmaLeonaTaric

##Intentions

Audio and Visual

  • The broken, weary missionary look is ideally matched by the champion image above. Additionally, the rugged look adds to the non-stop journey he is on, not stopping for repairs and care. He must relieve himself of this torment for being in the middle of two paths.

  • He provides visual diversity in the state of appearance. Nearly every champion is clean and pristine. His worn and broken appearance will be a difference.

  • His voice will give the impression that of exhortation from his steadfast mission, yet inability to be impactful from the wear and tear.

Lore / Kit Cohesion

  • Quintus is a struggling missionary in terms of his beliefs. Although he is relentless in his path to see which is better, (passive) yet he understands both and could swap back and forth for a temporary path to abide by (Defend the Frail / Smite the Weak).

  • Even forcefully choosing a side will show the respective power of that path (Divine / Malicious Emanation).

  • As a Paladin, charging in battle and getting rough is familiar to Quintus (Clash with Evil), although he is a missionary. This also serves as a major initiation tool.

  • He still uses his spiritual connection to aid allies, (Safe Passage) while visually and thematically guiding allies on his current path. Enemies are guiding using a harsher, Noxian style path (Treacherous Passage) that only gets harsher the weaker you are. This also serves a major healing and escape tool for weak allies.

#Patch Notes

##Version 1.1 - 05/28/2015

Abilities

  • Q: Clash with Evil

If they are carried into a wall, Quintus will shield bash them and deal an additional 15 / 25 / 35 / 50 / 60 (+15% AD) (+25% AD) in physical damage and are stunned for 1.0 seconds. and apply on hit effects.

Maximum Damage with Wall Bash: 50 / 70 / 110 / 160 / 200 (+35% AD) (+45% AD) in physical damage.

The stun on wall carry would be nearly impossible to recover from or play against when laning with Vayne for opponents. Changing it to a additional strike removes the instant lane pairing in champ select, while upping the scaling damage to provides incentive to still knock them into a wall.

I like this idea, though I don't think his W would stand as it remains. Riot would say that it lacks interaction. I would want it to apply something after he hits a target but that's already in his passive. Reducing enemy stats flat in an aura around him is generally not fair, even if he lacks a poke against other supports.

I would at least make it something he has to pop to reduce the stats, aside from the MR Shred. (With the upcoming changes to abyssal scepter, he is going to be really strong with base % MR shred on top of that, but he will have to get close.)

Thirdly, I think that he would be exceptionally strong as a support with Vayne - almost overpowered causing a whopping 2.5 second stun if both slam the target into a wall, giving the target struck a difficult time to react. That said I do really like the wall slam, I think the charge should be combined with his E, so that when he dashes a path forms behind him.

Though I like how his E works currently as well, forming almost a flower bed of healing with a Rumble ult cast line, or creating a long walk for enemies that are about to be finished off. (Almost like Braums ult but only on Low HP Targets. Hello super strong Ekko and anybody with BotRK.)

I like this champion. He has a lot to chew on, and if anything you've peaked my interest with him and I would actually like to see this implemented in the game in some way. Keep on going!

You're awesome, make so many kool and well designed concepts! Hope you keep up the work, and enjoy it! Wish I can reach this level at some point!

Eat upvotes, you conceptual artist, you.

Let me preface by saying I love the character's theme. Simple, but elegant; and the picture brings the whole thing together. I appreciate a good theme. :P

The critique:

Smite the Weak has the potential to be far too easy for Quintus to use and far too easy for the enemy to overlook. Switching from defense to offense on the fly is cool; but being able to toggle every 5 seconds? Potentially overbearing.

Maybe you could treat it like Taric's armour shatter? Quintus could switch from defense to offense, maintain a "Smite the Weak!" aura for, say, 6-8 seconds, then revert to a neutral state. After another 6 or so seconds, he would regain the "Defend the Frail" aura. The conceptual excuse would be those moments of ideological indecisiveness you mention in his lore. Y'know, a moment of:

"Is this the right path?"

This is a very, VERY good concept. While i will admit his looks are a bit to similar to leona, its a very cool concept, and i like the fact he can be both defensive and agressive, and you will need to time your Defend the frail and Smite the weak perfectly in teamfights etc and its a very skill requiring champ that is a interesting hybrid, that if released, would bea massive LCS champion due to his insane utility. One question tho, is the Q inspired from poppys charge which does the same thing?
