Hello everyone and here is my champion Leif, The Amalgamate

Appearance: (The photo I made and put here isn't working correctly so if someone could help me figure out how to get pictures on here easy that'd be great) For now I'll just describe him best as I can. Go to google and search "Bravely default Dark knight" His design is inspired by that and looks more attuned to leagues style. It's more vibrant and more fun overall to look at is all I mean.

LORE: In Demacia Leif was a young boy. He made friends with a merchant whom by the likes he had seen every day in town. His merchant friend was very protective of his things. The merchant always brought with him powerful magic Items for sale. Leif always made sure not to touch his merchant friends' Items for they could be cursed.

One day a shadowy rat-like figure popped out when Leif was admiring the merchant's wares and took a shiny amulet.

The merchant's cart flipped over and Leif was bombarded by many wares of different kinds. Leif was changed that day. Each of the Items tried to bond to Leif from many curses, some of which were impossible to break. His body melted. The merchant had only one Item left to carry Leif's liquid remains inside of. A suit of armor which changed depending on the wearer. Soul armor it's called.

Leif's liquids melded with the metal. becoming one.

Out of the armor popped a handle with a blade floating towards the front of Leif The merchant spoke "Leif, Leif. Are you Okay?" Leif... only responded with one word "Gone" Leif's thoughts came to him The merchant planned this. He did it Leif's rage grew and grew

The merchant scrambled as the dark figure approached him. The fear building inside him slowed the merchant down as Leif came closer. After the merchant was dealt with Leif pondered "he was my only friend. He betrayed me. He's a traitor... but why?"

Leif saw a bulky brown haired general run by towards a fight that broke out.

Leif began to run after the general and began his life as an amalgamation of magic in the Demacian army struggling to find his place

-End of lore- (I may add some more to the lore but for now that's it)

Role intended: Bruiser/Tank Stats: Health: 700 (+ 90 per level) (level 18=1420)

Health regen: 6.4 (+0.8 per level) (level 18 =20.8)

Mana: 300 (+21 per level) (level 18 =678)

Mana regen: 1 (+0.4 per level) (level 18= 8.2)

Attack range: Melee (175)

Attack damage: 100 (+10 per level) (level 18 = 180)

Attack speed: 0.6 ( + 3.2 per level) (level 18 =58.2)

Armor: 10 (+ 7 per level) (level 18 =136 )

Magic resist: 30 (+ 1.5 per level) (level 18= 57)

Move speed: 345

Abilities

Passive: Pass the dread For every time Leif spends at least 9/5/2seconds in combat he gains 2% (+ 1% for every 100 Attack damage) bonus in Attack damage and movement speed for 9/12/15 seconds. This bonus stacks each time he spends more time in combat( 10 Max stacks). After not being in combat for 3 seconds Leif will lose all stacks and bonuses from this passive. This passive goes on cooldown after having 3 or more stacks for 10 seconds

(This passive rewards Leif for drawing out fights and rewards him well for the longer the fight lasts however since his kit doesn't have sustain it's a risky move to draw out the fights for longer at early levels) (The visual effects from this move are the Leif has a mark under his mana bar similar to Annie's bar for pyromania. For each stack the bar will fill up)

Q: Mana cost:

Daunt them: Leif throws down his dagger at his location which creates a circle of fear that is 250/300/350/400/450 units wide and lasts for 3 seconds. Enemies caught inside are slowed for 10% movement speed. If an enemy spends 2 seconds in the circle they are feared for 0.5/0.75/1/1.25/1.5 seconds. Enemies that have been feared recently cannot be feared again for 2 seconds

Cooldown: 9.5/8/7.5/6/5.5 seconds (starts when duration of circle is over) (200% effectiveness against minions and monsters)

(My thoughts on this ability is to make it an easy way to proc E and W passive to help him in 1v1's slightly but help in teamfights a lot more so)

W: Sorrow spread: Passive: Every time Leif casts an ability he gains 5% Attack speed for 10 seconds. This stacks each instance of a spell cast. Leif loses all stacks if the timer runs out.

Active: Leif gives a close enemy (enemy has to be in range of auto attack) some of his pain is transferred over and they lose 50/60/70/80/90 movement speed while Leif gains 50/60/70/80/90 movement speed for 2 seconds. Leif deals 10 (+100% of Attack speed) extra damage to the enemy he stole movement speed from.

Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11 seconds

E: Fear mongering: Passive: If an enemy is feared near Leif he will slash in their direction dealing 60/65/70/75/80(+ 5% of attack damage) damage and hitting them 50/60/70/80/90 units in the opposite direction Leif slashed as well as slowing them 5% for 0.2 seconds after the slash. Leif cannot slash the same target for 1 second after slashing. If E is on cooldown then the passive part is unable to activate.

Active: Leif dashes 100/200/300/400/500 units in a target direction and leaves behind an area the size of where he dashed which speeds up allies movement speed by 10%(can't go through walls)

Cooldown: 19/18/17/16/15 seconds

R: Revenge is mine Leif gathers up all his rage in a 1 second channel before his passive gains 5/6/7/8/9/10 stacks and the passive gains a temporary new max of 18/19/20 stacks for 15 seconds. Leif's passive also only takes 1 second in combat to add a stack.

Cooldown: 40/35/30 seconds(duration starts when ability duration ends) ** Itemization:** Starter Items: item 1055 item 2003

Core: item 3004 item 3071 item 3078 item 3006

Offense: item 3748 item 3074 item 3812

Defense: item 3065 item 3137 item 3026

Quotes in game:

When moving around every once in a while "maybe I should move on..."

"I am a monster... but he believes in me"

When seeing a friendly Garen "You let me in, when nobody else would"

"I trust you, let's finish them off"

When seeing an enemy Garen "A little training session then? I will not let up!"

"I never expected you... to betray me too!"

When seeing an enemy Darius

"Executor of Noxius, I will take your life today!"

"I won't let you win! Your going to feel my blade swiftly"

When seeing an enemy Evelynn "I know of you. Your a pain in my side!"

"Stealth is for the weak, Fighting is for the strong"

When seeing a friendly Evelynn "I could use your methods for murder, soon"

"It might be against the rules, but I want to hire you"

Default Taunts "Your a fool for standing in the way of revenge"

"It's not my fault you are in the way"

Taunt 2 "Take my weapon... HA you've been fooled"

"Your not even though"

Dance Leif spins and tosses his Dagger in the air and uses it to do the point disco dance move (you all know what I mean :P)

Laugh

He laughs... what'd ya expect?

My thoughts: Overall Leif is unique in how he's set up and how he would play in the game would make him a blast and amazing.

Lore seems a bit lame and escalates way too drastically to be believable, and if I understood correctly places Twitch the Zaunite sewer rat in Demacia for some reason. And yes, we technically do have an autonomous suit of armor in Mordekaiser.

As for his kit:

Passive: I confess making your power snowball the longer you stay "in combat" is unique and theoretically plausible, I can't help but wonder how useful it would actually be considering it would be effectively useless against champs with good disengage or enough burst to quickly dispatch this champ. Then again it would just punish them further for missing their combos or not playing safe, so perhaps it could still work with a bit of tweaking.

Q seems to cover way too much area for a slow, and 10 seconds is an awful lot of time in League terms- most Champion ultimates barely even last 7 seconds without some conditional extension to their effect, and topping that off with only a 5.5 second cooldown rate is just overkill. Besides, something that takes that long just to trigger its secondary effect is going to be nearly useless because if playing Soraka has taught me anything it's that enemies won't stick around in timed AOE's if they can help it, and with a full 10 seconds they almost certainly can.

W seems a little weird; passively he gets a speed buff every time he casts, but actively he slows to a crawl while tanking damage, giving his enemy a chance to escape and make his passive drop off.

E is pretty broke overall; passively gaining bonus automatic true-damage melee strikes against feared opponents sounds like a bit much, but basically giving them a free disengage sounds counter-intuitive to someone who's supposed to be a sustain fighter. Active is hardly much better, especially if I understand correctly that he cannot change his movement or attack while dramatically trudging to the chosen location, and casters will be able to wreck him during this time as non-melee attacks won't trigger his on-hit fear effect.

R seems to serve no purpose beyond giving him the ability to kill-steal, which is a terrible thing to add to a teamwork-heavy game like League.

Overall, the lore is kind of uninspiring, and makes him sound like he should be Morde, since he is a piece of living armor now.

His kit is lacking any kind of solid theme or real synergy. (The number and such that you gave are straight broken, but eh, its just numbers :P)

Keep working on it, develop the character and his lore a bit and try to build a kit around who the character is and what they do or stand for.
