[Champion Concept] Rofeon, the Tainted Mage
Hello everyone! This is one of my champion concepts that I have made over the last few years. I originally made this concept a year or two back but then decided to revisit his kit. His previous abilities were pretty stale and didn't seem unique enough. I've included a brief story of him as lore and a link to the older post of his original kit below the abilities, in case you are interested. If you have any feedback, I would be glad to read it in the comments!
ABILITIES
(Passive) Black Energy
Resource - Rofeon’s mana bar is replaced with Black Energy (100 max). Whenever Rofeon hits an enemy with an ability, he gains some Black Energy. At 100 Black Energy, his next basic ability does 20 + (5 x level +10% AP) bonus magic damage, drains all energy, and heals himself for 20(+2 per 100 AP)% of his missing health. For every point of Black Energy, Rofeon’s basic abilities have their cooldowns reduced by .5% (stacks multiplicatively with normal CDR), but cost 1% more health. Black Energy decays when Rofeon is out of combat.
Ability - Every 12 seconds, Rofeon’s next basic attack deals 30 + (8 x level +10% AP) bonus magic damage in a 175-unit radius. This ability generates 10 Black Energy.
(Q) Siphon
Rofeon absorbs the life force of an enemy dealing his AD + 10/35/60/85/110(+25% AP) as magic damage for his next basic attack. He heals himself for 20% of the damage dealt. This ability resets his basic attack timer, but cannot be used when Expel is in effect. CD: 11/10/9/8/7 seconds Cost: 12/20/28/36/44 health Generates 5 Black Energy
Insanity Form: Demon’s Grip
Rofeon roots himself in place while squeezing the targeted enemy with immense force. The enemy is stunned for 1 second and take 30/65/100/135/170(+60% AD) physical damage at the end of the stun. Black Energy seeps out during the squeeze, dealing 50% damage and slowing for 1 second to all enemies within a 175-unit radius. CD: 6 seconds Cost: 10 Black Energy
(W) Oblivion Sphere
Rofeon charges up a ball of black energy over 1.5 seconds that deals 40/65/90/115/140(+35% AP) to 80/130/180/230/280(+70% AP) magic damage and slows by up to (based on charge time) 30/35/40/45/50% for 2 seconds to all enemies hit. The damage and AOE of this ability increase the longer it is charged, while the projectile speed decreases. Rofeon can move at 80% movement speed while channeling this ability. After 3 seconds, he is forced to let go of the black energy, releasing it at the cursor’s location. CD: 14 seconds Cost: 12% of current health Generates 15 Black Energy
Insanity Form: Enrage
Rofeon becomes enraged, gaining 30/35/40/45/50 movement speed, ignoring unit collision, and gaining 30/35/40/45/50% tenacity for 6 seconds. This effect is lost if Insanity Form wears off. CD: 20 seconds Cost: 4 Black Energy per second
(E) Expel
Rofeon’s hands and mouth become covered in dark mist, giving him 425 addition range on his next three basic attacks. The first two attacks expel the clouds from his hands, dealing 15/25/35/45/55(+15% AP) bonus on-hit magic damage. However, on third attack, he unleashes a petrifying roar, dealing 60/95/130/165/200(+50% AP) magic damage in a cone and silencing enemy champions for 1 second. CD: 17/15/13/11/9 seconds Cost: 20/33/46/59/72 health Generates 10 Black Energy after roar
Insanity Form: Reckless Charge Rofeon charges forward in a line, knocking all enemies aside and dealing 70/110/150/190/230(+50% bonus AD) physical damage to those hit. After this ability hits a champion, the remaining enemies take 50/45/40/35/30% less damage. After the charge, Rofeon’s next three basic attacks have 150% bonus attack speed. CD: 12 seconds Cost: 15 Black Energy
(R) Into Insanity
Rofeon allows the darkness to consume him, going insane and changing form into his demon self. While in Insanity Form, he loses 1 Black Energy per second, but gains 50% of his ability power as bonus attack damage, 10/12.5/15% increased movement speed, 50 attack range, and a new set of basic abilities. Instead of costing health and generating Black Energy, each ability instead costs Black Energy. Upon exiting Insanity Form, he becomes afflicted with Grievous Wounds for 5 seconds. This ability can only be used at 100 Black Energy. CD: 140/120/100 seconds
LORE
Before the Rune War in Urtistan, there was a group of mages that protected the land. The group, called The Bearers, consisted of three mages, each wielding their own unique staff. Being an honored mage at the time, Rofeon wielded Animulas, the staff of courage. As a member and leader of the Bearers, he swore an oath to defend Urtistan with his life, thus, granting him the heart to fulfill his duty with all his strength and power.
When war erupted, the trio was sent into battle against the phalanx of dark summoner-knights that were sieging the great Clock Tower city. The Bearers fought valiantly, using their great magical powers to destroy their enemies under Rofeons command. Although they had immense strength, they were vastly outnumbered. Fighting down to the last breath, Rofeon’s companions were defeated in the midst of battle. His courage started to diminish after this instant and he surrendered, disavowing his oath and causing Animulas to vanish from his very hands. Unarmed, he was taken to the summoner-knights' prison and held captive.
During the time that he was held captive, Rofeon began to contemplate what happened the night his comrades fell. He started to hate himself for his lack of courage. As his imprisonment lengthened, his hatred and is want for his previous courage grew. In the middle of the night, Rofeon was awakened by the presence of a dark being next to him. The being offered to provide a way for Rofeon to regain his former courage. Because the hatred for himself, he accepted this offer without hesitation. The dark being gave him immortality and the power to absorb and use black energy around him, but he would have to use this power to wreak havoc instead of preventing it. Using his new powers, Rofeon broke out of the prison, crushing anyone in his path. He then began his search for Animulas and his lost courage.
After years of causing chaos in the search for Animulas, the people of Runeterra started to fear the infamous sorcerer. The League decided to take action. They offered to accept Rofeon in order to try to contain him and also allow him to find courage on the Field of Justice.
