Baldwin - The Baron of No One (Rough Draft)

I imagine him as a old knight. A summary of his lore is that he was cursed/blessed with long life but not eternal youth as a boy. He enjoyed life as a knight and a Kings guard. He was able to perfect his swordsmanship and protected many Kings. He outlived them all except the last, whom he failed to protect. Shamed and exiled, he now seeks to regain his pride and desires an honorable death on the Summoners Rift.

The Old Guard - When Baldwin is close to death, he becomes invulnerable for a short period. For the duration he cannot die or heal, and once it ends he takes all ignored damage as true damage.

For One/Parry: (Offensive) Baldwin winds up his sword and on his next attack he will strike an enemy dealing bonus damage based on the time he wound up. He will strike through all dodges, blocks, and blinds. (Defensive) Baldwin selects a taregt enemy, and he will block their next basic attack. Balwin will then lunge to them and run them through dealing physical damage.

Offensive Stance/Defensive Stance: Baldwin changes stances which alters his stats and other basic abilities. Each ability in his different stances have their own cooldown. (Offensive) Baldwin gains stacks of Courage will in combat when he takes physical damage from enemy champions. Every 7/6/5/4/3 stacks he will deal bonus physical damage on a basic ability or attack. (Defensive) Baldwin gains bonus armor but loses all bonus attack speed. While on defense, he takes reduced physical damage from basic attacks from enemies he is facing.

Disarm/Battle Prowess: (Offensive) Balwin cleaves an enemies weapon in two, dealing physical damage and rending their next few basic attacks useless. (Defensive) Baldwin consumes all crowd control effects at the cost of health per second. The cost last as long as the cumulative duration of all the effects that were cleansed.

Iron Curtain: (Passive) Each time an enemy dies near Baldwin, he gains a temporary stack of bonus AD. He will lose all stacks if out of combat for too long. (Active) Baldwin and a target enemy engage in a duel which ends when either one dies or when the duration ends. During this time no one else may heal or damage them, and both lose the passive and active parts if their items. Whoever wins the duel will gain double the stacks of Iron Curtain for a short duration.

Read baron, thought this is a chembaron champion concept.

Now I am heartbroken and disappointed.

This is a really awesome idea! I'm not certain about the ult (as you could just target the enemy supp for easy kills), but I really love the idea of stance changes!
