Jellycake Demon·11/30/2015, 9:51:00 AM·9 votes·1,947 views

Hi everyone Jellycake Demon here with another Champion Concept. This one Concept is from a very old concept that I came up with at least 2yrs ago, I never really posted it because the Kit was everywhere & didn't really feel the way I wanted Bha-Ba to be. So every now & then I went back to Bha-Ba & I literally changed his kit 3 times but they never really fit what I wanted him to be...But at last I think I finally came up with a good Ability Kit for Bha-Ba. Please leave a Comment down bellow to show what you think of Bha-Ba & be free to write down any questions or you see a few things that might need a tweak.

As far as Bha-Ba's LORE is concerned: Bha-Ba is a traveler that wonders Runeterra that help people who have trouble sleeping. Now most people thought that it was something anyone can do, but Bha-Ba helps people who are plagued by horrific nightmares, thous cursed to never be able to sleep or wake up. By enter the Realm of Dreams & curing the source of the persons curse or nightmares Bha-Ba was eventually known all across Valoran, if a situation is so dire people actually attempt of searching for Bha-Ba to ask for his help. In a few of his healing treatments Bha-Ba has come across Nocturne who was the root of the nightmares plaguing his patient.

Came to the thread because assumed "Bha-Ha" had something to do with goats, was not let down. +1, more goats plz.

I really like this :D I'v wanted to make a Satyr champion for a very long time but couldn't think of any logical theme other then goats with a panflute....this is amazing :D I really wish i could upvote this thing a million times!! I do have a few things about his kit however.

His passive, although very very very very awesome and cute and thematically coherent...is way too powerful. I saw that some other people had already said this but a cleanse every short amount of time is way too powerful. There is a reason the few cleansing abilities in game are either a summoning spell or an activated ability which only helps for the user. And on top of that you add a heal!!! Its like you don't want your allies to die :O No but seriously, please keep it in somehow, on every ability cast or something, but keep it in. It's perfect, just a bit over powered right now.

for the rest of his kit, i say well done. It's all so good for the theme. Some things could have been thought through some more though. For one, he only has utility abilities, which is fine maybe for a support, but he wouldn't be able to play anywhere else. Furthermore, i say the passive of his E is a tad bit underpowered....i mean, from Talisman of Ascension alone you already get a 100% increase in health regeneration..also, there is absolutely no reason to level up this ability other then toning down the cooldown...maybe add some scaling numbers?...what is 3% going to do :/ His Q seems fine just like his W, although i don't really see the ties with his theme for the clone thing.

all in all a great idea for a champion :D Love the theme and the idea behind it!! Look over his kit, smooth over some kinks and i would pay good money to see this in game ^^ (not really cus im kinda broke ish but you get the point...)

{quoted} Passive: the Stroke of Twelve. Every 12 seconds the bell tied to Bha-Ba’s belt will ring covering a 170-radius, when the bell rings it will Cleanse any Crowed Control & De-buff’s from both Bha-Ba & any ally Champions within the bells radius. After being Cleansed Bha-Ba & any affected allies will be Healed by 3%(+0.5% per Lv.) of their Missing HP.

This is a really clever ability. Plays really well with the champs theme. The only suggestion I could make is a variation, where instead of a bonus heal the cleanse only triggers off of an ability cast rather than periodically every 12 seconds.

Q-Ability: Well Rested/Sleep Deprived. Range: 500. Cool Down: 19/17/15/13/11. Cost: 50/60/70/80/90. Damage Reduction: 7/9/11/13/15%. Magic Damage: 65/85/105/125/145(+40% bonus AP). Activate: after Bha-Ba has chosen a 195-radius location within this Abilities Casting Range then upon its activation Bha-Ba will toss out a second bell at the center of the targeted area, when this bell lands it will emit a strange sound that will affect both ally & enemy Champions that are within its radius. Ally Champions affected by this bell will gain a 15% Attack & Movement Speed boost & a percentage of Damage Reduction for 2.5 seconds, enemy Champions affected by the bell will be dealt Magic Damage & will have a 15% Attack & Movement Speed Slow for 2.5 seconds.

To clarify, there are 2 parts to this? The first involve Bha-Ha clicking a spot, then clicking the spot again? Or it's like a Bard ult? Still an interesting ability.

W-Ability: Dream Walker. Range: 400. Cool Down: 18/17/16/15/14. Cost: 100. Magic Damage: 25/45/65/85/105(+30% bonus AP). Activate: after Bha-Ba has chosen either himself or an ally Champion within this Abilities Casting Range then upon its activation Bha-Ba will pull out the chosen Champions dream as a Clone, this Clone will have 10% of its chosen Champions Max HP as well has the original Champions current Attack & Movement Speed. When the chosen Champion uses an Auto-Attack the Clone will Auto-Attack the same target but it will deal Magic Damage instead, any damage the original Champion would take from enemy Champions Auto-Attacks & Abilities the Clone will take the damage instead. The Clone will remain active until its own HP hits 0, until its duration has ended this Ability will not go on Cool Down.

So things such as turrets, dragon and baron do mitigate damage? This is a good balance. Out of curiosity what is the magic damage you've listed in the stats? Is that how much the Clone deals per basic attack? You also said the Clone have movement speed, implying that it, well, moves. Who controls this Clone? Bha-Ha or the ally Champ? Finally, what is the duration of this effect?

E-Ability: Bed Rest. Range: 450. Cool Down: 20/18/16/14/12. Cost: 60/70/80/90/100. Passive: when Bha-Ba has been out of combat for 7.5 seconds he will actually drift into a sleeping state where he is able to move at full speed since he is floating on a large pillow, while Bha-Ba is Asleep his HP & Mana Regeneration are increased by 3%. Until Bha-Ba makes some form of offensive action or he takes damage from an enemy Champion he will remain in this sleeping state. Activate: after Bha-Ba has chosen a single enemy Champion with this Abilities Casting Range he will place a sleep spell on the target, after the initial activation Bha-Ba will put the chosen target to Sleep for 1.75 seconds. Sleep Effect: While an Champion is affected by Sleep they cannot Move or use any Abilities instead the Player takes control of a Clone of the affected Champion. This Clone cannot be damaged, has full Movement Speed but cannot use the original Champions Abilities or Items but the Player is still able to use Summoner Spells & Auto-Attacks but the Clones Auto-Attacks will deal 15% of the original Champions current Ability Power as Magic Damage.

For the passive, when you say he moves at 'full speed', what do you mean? Why would he not be moving at full speed if he's been out of combat for 7.5 seconds? In all honesty, his passive feels a bit weak thematic-wise. How about something: If Bha-Ha stands still and does nothing for X seconds, he takes a nap, gaining a significant increase to health and mana regen. Getting stuck by an enemy while napping ceases the bonus and gives you bonus movement speed for X seconds.

The active on this actually confuses me a little. Could you give an example of this ability in action please.

R-Ability: Into the Dream/Unleash the Nightmare. Range: 450. Cool Down: 220/200/180. Cost: 130. Heal: 120/180/240(+40% bonus AP). Magic Damage: 100/170/240(+40% bonus AP). Activate: after Bha-Ba has chosen either himself or an enemy Champion within this Abilities Casting Range then upon its activation Bha-Ba will open a portal to the targets own dreams: Self-Cast: is Bha-Ba uses this Ability on himself he will reveal his own dreams that gushes out of the portal covering a 210-radius around him, these dreams will Heal both Bha-Ba & any allied Champions that are within this radius. After Healing allied this Ability will double an allied Champions current Armor & Magic Resist for 2 seconds. Enemy Champion: if Bha-Ba uses this Ability on an enemy Champion he will rip out the Champions own nightmares out of the portal covering a 190-radius around the initial target, this nightmare will deal Magic Damage to the initial target & any additional enemy Champions within the radius. After this Ability has damaged the initial target & any additional enemies then all damaged targets will then be applied with a 0.75 second Fear.

This is ok as far as Ults go. I'm not really a fan of 'If ally, does X. If enemy, does Y', so I am a little biased. I feel like if Nocturn is his enemy, and Nocturn is a literal nightmare incarnate, it seems weird that his ult would have a nightmare aspect to it. Bha-Ha seems like he would be more pleasant than that. I was thinking something like the opposite of a Nocturn ult: Instead of being dark and not being able to see anyone, everything is fine but all allies appear as Bha-Ha for X seconds to the enemy. This can be devastating, as not being able to keep track of where what damage is coming from and where certain champs are can change a team fight. No one targets the support over the ADC, but what if the whole team looks like the support?

All in all I like this champ a lot. The idea is definitely there for a good champ, and this was a good first concept. Nice work dude.

Very interesting kit idea. I have a few suggestions, if you don't mind.

  1. The Q seems a tad overpowered given the strengths of the rest of the kit, so I would say make this skill simply a speed buff/slow for AS and MS and forget about the free damage reduction and damage.
  2. The passive on his E also seems a tad great so maybe have that scale up to that value with level like 1/1.5/2/2.5/3% Anyway, great concept. Keep up the good work.

I love it, he has some real burst potential as well. Great passive, not too strong

I would work on really honing in the thematic cohesiveness of the kit. Redescribing it and reworking parts of it in order to make it feel consistent. For instance, does he heal or CC? If both, why? If not, why? Once you know the why, I would focus in on that and tune the kit to fit into that theme.

Found this through the comment on Gid's page. First off, really cool kit. All very unique and seems pretty sound. Scaling and damage looks a little low but the utility more than makes up for that. My only concern is that his base stats are really low, or at least his health. At level 18 he's got not even a thousand health. You'll want about double that seeing as that most champs rest within 250 of 2,000. Also his AD is piddly. He can get by without AA'ing but I would bump up the health quite a bit.

Still, great job on on everything else and the visual description seems so perfect and easily imaginable.

So his ult is like a mass Zhonya's Hourglass that buffs him? Interesting take on a healing ult. Only catch I can think of is using it in a teamfight might leave him very vulnerable as he eventually is the only enemy left on the map that can be targeted.

Anyway, cool concept, and nice to see some sort of antithesis to Nocturne or otherwise more of this dream realm.
