[ Champion Concept ] Daphne the Lost Flower

PokladnicaZla··16 votes·2,324 views

My take on a the new champion,imma keep the appearance and lore short. Daphne is an enchanter and what really makes stand out is that her R allows her to switch her stance between ˝Un-planted˝ and ˝Planted˝ . She has the a really high map presence and can assist allies from afar,brings high AoE sustain during teamfights.Her kit allows her to either go full enchanter or mix tankiness in thanks to her Passive. Her weakness is however,she lacks hard-CC, any clutch heal or shield to keep her ADC and allies alive. She's also a difficult champion to execute or use properly.

**APPEARANCE ** https://img00.deviantart.net/f137/i/2014/167/6/0/champion_design___clover_the_scent_of_life_by_hirooyuuki-d7mppzn.jpg (from LoL contest RITO did,it's not mine). Colour scheme is changeable. A humanoid feminem creature. She would have no legs,but a flower which is opened towards the ground. She wouldn't walk,but fly/flutter the petals.

SHORT BIO Rumors spread across Valoran as fast Daphne spreads the joy of spring. Nobody knows where she came from or what's she is,but one thing is certain, she leaves a path of flowers behind her,much to some dismay. *Gender: Female *Race: Flower fairy *Origin: The Glade *Affliction: None *Occupation: Traveler

Passive: Flourish All % of Healing and Shielding power Daphne owns ( runes,items) also increases her bonus health.

I fear for abuse of this for massive max hp. It's a great idea, but I would suggest a benefit of less than 100%. Also, Riot has been systematically removing all stat Boosting passives from the game, so this passive doesn't fit with that trend.

It might be a bit broken,but may I elaborate why I think it could be balanced?

  1. It only interacts with bonus HP ( Items,Runes). The only sources of HP are ˝Overgrowth˝, ˝Celestial Body˝ and going down the Resolve tree+ something.Taking ˝Overgrowth˝ makes you lose out on ˝Revitalize˝ ,which is an additional 5% for your passive and your healing as well ,but turns into 15% H&Sp on targets below 40% for your heals. ˝Revitalize˝ would be also an amazing keystone on her and I feel like it would be a fair trade off if choose either on of them and

  2. It's supposed to make up for lack of any actual Hard CC or strong aid to your ADC or even herself. She has no snare,no stun,no airborn effect. To note,she can't move when she casts R and can't Un-plant for 3 seconds and loses on all of her bonus resistance. She's basically a sitting duck,which can't really fend anyone of of her. The best thing she can do is ground and that's pretty much.

  3. She would have one the lowest base HP's in the game( it could still be lowered) with 500 (shared with Janna at 10th lowest spot).Her lvl18 HP would be 1898,85 with is still at the lower end of the stick.

  4. She's mana hungry,as she is at the lower end of base mana pool at lvl 1 compared to other Enchanters. Ending at high spot with 1206.1 mana. Her rooted skills cost high amounts of mana and spamming W will make go oom really quickly.

  5. Support budget. Supports usually scale lowest on their team(even if they're doing well). Support items are much cheaper,compared to some HP items.
    Ardent costs 2300, Mikaels 2100, Redemption 2100,meanwhile HP items that are likeliest to be bought her are item 3065 2800 , item 3083 2850 . 500/550 gold is a big difference to a support. item 3190 would be an amazing buy,because of it's bonus HP scaling. Now,you might think it's not really a good item on her,but with certain builds or situations it would be a rush on her. If for example take overgrowth on her( stacking HP) and since you look means to defend your ADC it could be a sweet item on her.

How I imagined the build path and runes. item 2302 - item 3117 - item 3107 as a core build. Now, +200 HP from Oasis , +200HP form Redemtion + 130 HP (if take Resolve+Sorcery tho I think they changed the bonus on the PBE to HP+AP,but lets stick to live). That's a bonus of 530 HP , 10% H&Sp from Redem and 5% from Revitalize that would be 79.6 additional HP.

This would need further testing,but I don't think she would be OP with it. The % could very well be lowered,but on the other hand buying item 3504 and item 3222 doesn't give you any HP,but increases the current bonus HP,which wouldn't be that low.

if you item 3222 + item 3190 +item 3083

The your Bonus HP would be 1330 ,with H&Sp value of 35% .making it additional 465.5 bonus (pretty sweet right? ).

Before you jump to further conclusion, the bonus stats from R+S were lowered to 65 ,while item 3114 H&Sp was lowered from 8 -- > 5 % , item 3504 & item 3107 from 10 - 8 % and item 3222 from 20 -- 15 % on the PBE. The passive is meant as a way for her to survive while rooted and bi a bit tankier while also being able to still buy Enchanter items. I know this is a mess of a reply.Im sorry for that,but I hope you see my point. There're still champion with stat convergence in the game and some of them are pretty new. Janna had just recently gained additional damage from MS , Jhin 's whole thing is convergence. There're bad way of making it,but I hope this is not one of them.

I hate to sound negative, but you make it sound like she gets completely shafted on several fronts, just to compensate for a single detail that might benefit her.

my original concern wasn't actually a big one.

Tbh I made the kit first and passive later. I knew from the beginning that I want to make a support more focused on utility ( healing,unique abilities),rather than hard lock down or damage. The combination of soft CC,pure utility and the draw-back of rooting yourself in place made it obvious she needed something to made it able for her to survive longer in fights. The idea of adding HP to a squishy champ seemed like a good idea. You don't sound negative in the slightest.Don't worry about it,I posted for feedback and any constructive form of it is welcomed.

I might revised the idea of Daphne.I'm a fan of her passive,Q and W so it's likely they might stay (in some alteration). Any suggestions?

I like the idea, but I feel that the the kit is missing some essential CC or peel ability as a support which is the role she would most likely fill. I'm thinking the E could be replaced as it's more likely to hurt teammates than help them, and on enemy cast it only seems so useful. Maybe a root of sort as a plant champion. I also feel that the design could very much use a revamp as she has too much extra sticking out. Most league champions have rather confined looks. They all look smooth and refined, clothes and armor are all closely packed to the skin and don't really sick out, or they're wearing nothing at all such as brand and WW. Therefore, there should be less petals and curls sticking out. Even if this were all to be changed, I doubt it would be accepted as there is already Zyra a plant support, and they just released Ivern, another plant champion.

Thanks for the reply. The concept isn't mine,if I remember correctly RITO hired a few art students at some University to design some champions and Clover is one of them.

Clover is more meant as a utility support or even semi tank. Considering most supports are packed with CC I thought it would be refreshing to have a support with a different vibe. She's also intended to bring huge healing possibility to the team. The flowers a really short CD. Her ultimate also allows her to assist much faster than most other support. I could add ˝True vision˝ to her rooted E,so she could scout Drak&Baron/Herald.

Umm,Morgana's dress?Leblanc's cape? Anivia's and Kayle's wings? Besides,she herself could have a smaller body,while the flower would be bigger (think of Urgot's legs size).

There's enough room between Zyra and a support oriented support. We have so many champions that revolve around birds, celesitals,champions with swords, RITO is pretty creative with their concepts,so I doubt we wont get another nature/plant oriented champion.

Idk how you came to that conclusion,but OK.

lol it's true. I saw someone else leaked that the new champ has an aoe flower thing they put on the ground. that plus if you go in game and play there are flowers that appear randomly on the ground.it happened at mid lane and the flower looked just like the one Riot revealed. Riot takes peoples concepts all the time and I wouldn't be surprised if they take this one.
