[Concept] Sengoku, of the Warring States

Sengoku is a very wise man, a very proud man, and above all a very strong man. Sengoku had a very unfortunate childhood. He was born in the United Isles of Fujiri (an undeveloped location in the leftmost areas of the Conqueror's Sea) During the "Tokugawa Eradication" He was born from the body of his mother who was beheaded about 15 minutes beforehand.

His mother was protecting a Sacred Artifact Scroll as had been her mission from the emperor (Sengoku's Father) Mitsuhiko Tokugawa, Himself... Because she was murdered at random while in a Village that was under Tokugawa influence, she still maintained the scroll, a scroll that held the secret to Immortality and revival of the dead (a souvenir from the Shadow isles to the East).

Sengoku barely lived for 2 days without moving, crying in the night. Soon a random foot soldier from the opposing faction appeared. He followed the cries of the child and arrived to see a barely living child half inside his mother. He also noticed the Scroll. he took the scroll, from the woman's corpse and prepared to put the child out of his misery, when suddenly, both the child and the scroll were wisped away. Unbeknownst to the soldier, it was a Magical Being known as Bard who took the child and nursed him back to health. He then cared for the child for 5 years.

Bard wiped the Child's memories of him, and left him on the outskirts of a Village near the Borders of Touto, where he became a thief and pickpocket for years to come. Though in the peasant class of people, he was able to read, and occasionally he would Steal books on the ideas of Dhiloism (a way of living by freeing yourself of mind and body). As if fate had called, he soon found himself stealing an extremely valuable katana, that he eventually decided to practice with. The wielding of the Blade as well as the teachings left him to become a very Powerful sword-fighter. Eventually he was caught by Tokugawa's army. Instead of fighting, a voice in his head told him to go with the flow of the situation. As part of his punishment he was sent to be a vanguard soldier on the battlefield, with the expectation to die almost instantly.

Instead of dying, during his first battle he Single-handedly killed over 300 men in melee combat. his strength toppled many men and beasts alike, and his incredible speed allowed him to dart forward and destroy a lot of the Archer's in the back, greatly weakening their formation. This was known as the battle of Quan, and Sengoku was pardoned as a prisoner and honored - all of this at the age of 17. He never wanted a commanding position in the army, he simply wanted to fight, so he stayed in the army gaining an incredible reputation. In the span of his 10 years in service he only received one serious injury, but in return he slaughtered over 5000 men, until the war ended.

after 10 more years of doing nothing but nonstop training, he decided to travel the world of Runeterra, in search of greater foes to Topple. It's said that after he kills a man, he will say 10 Sutras, to honor the fallen men. Not even he, knows where his incredible power comes from.

"I live in war, I thrive in war, I am nurtured by war. I respect the art of war. if i can die by doing something I love, that is my greatest honor, and those that fall before me deserve the same recognition."

He's an AD Melee fighter/Assassin Champion, naturally bases on the Samurai. He thrives in battle and thus find his strengths are fighting very powerful opponents. In Short he is a Duelist. He is AD so he can quickly take objectives however a blunt of his Kit requires him to be in Incredibly close range, building Him glass canon is good, but it's recommended that he also have a bit of health stats on him. It's also recommended he get a Sheen in some form. He is resourceless.

He finds a Natural friendship in Bard he is Rivals with both Riven and Yasuo and apparently, he thinks Akali is cute.

Other Friends. Garen Drinking Buddies Annie If he had a daughter one day, he would want her to be like Annie. Strong, yet innocent Vi First Person to beat him in an Arm wrestling Match, he respects that. Blitzcrank Told him that Him and Akali may be soul Mates

Enemies: Yasuo Rival, a very Strong Swordsman MasterYi Rival, a very strong swordsman Riven he wants her to be a rival, but she wont fight him Fiora Thinks her fencing is "barbaric bastardization of the Sword" Cassiopeia Said she looked Hideous Once, in a bit of random honesty at a pub... She has not forgiven him Katarina Insulting her Sister, and hanging out with Garen - her enemy


Passive:

** Fueled By War:** Every time Sengoku Kills an Enemy or assists in killing an enemy 2 seconds before they died, his health returns to full

Q:

Mastery Of the Blade: 10/9/8/7/5 Second Cooldown Passive: Sengoku gains natural lifesteal. when attacking a Neutral monster under 100 health, he will destroy the monster. Active: Sengoku deals +3 damage per strike on weaker enemies +5 if the enemy deals more damage than him; +2 True damage if the enemy is has more HP and armor than him, for 4 seconds.

W:

Rush in: 11/9/8/7/6 Second Cooldown Holds 2 charges. Sengoku Quickly Dashes in the direction of the cursor, his next basic attack up to 3 seconds after activation will do +30% damage

**E: **

Super Speed Parry: 12/11/10/9/7 Passive: every 4th basic attack against Sengoku deals half damage. This Passive only works when not on cooldown Active: for 2 seconds Sengoku will rapidly deflect every Basic attack. Against ranged champions he will instead deal 10% of the damage he reflected Back to the marksman

R:

Reaper's Slash: 100/75/40 Second Cooldown Will instantly dash and then slash clean through an enemy. this creates a cutting effect and Sengoku will appear on the opposite side of the enemy champion an equal distance from where he started. Enemies hit by this ability will bleed out for 3 seconds.

Is his last name, by any chance, Judai?

Sengoku (which is a moniker) is of the peasant class. He is Mitsuhiko Tokugawa's illegitimate son, he has no last name. His real name- which he doesn't actually know - is Eiichiro. Had he been claimed it would just be Eiichiro Tokugawa.

Nice to see you got the reference of his Name- which i think is spelled "Jidai"

My Romanji is off when I'm trying to do things from memory. But It's good you got my reference XD

so first thing about this champion is that he has 0 counter play with way to much power. he should have a different passive but if you don't want to change it you should really make it so that it give a percent of his missing health back and not flat out all of it (that's like a zilean ult without the death animation).

Q: he shouldn't have the passive at all and the active is to complicated and should be more simplistic (like irelia e with the slow or stun)

W: instead of the % increased damage on the next attack he should maybe get a stun for 1 second and have a timer before you can use it on an enemy again.

E: i think the passive could be more of a steroid like maybe reduced damage while the ability is up and making the active instead immediately reflect the attack for 0.5 seconds also have a greater reward for timing it right instead of being invincible for an assassin

R: the seems like a good one but maybe he half the distance witch would allow him to go for a dash stun (as i said for the change) then for the perfect combo have his Q do something else.

that's just my input on what you have and has potential to be more.

thanks for the comment dude. :) yeah ill be looking around at his Kit.

He also exists partially to expand Lore.

I will address a few things.

so first thing about this champion is that he has 0 counter play with way to much power.

he's an assassin duelist with a graves-style dash. CC is his Biggest Counter.

he shouldn't have the passive at all

In retrospect the lifesteal may not be needed, but thematically speaking "Mastery of the Blade" would mean that he's good at attacking weaknesses, so the execute passive should be fine, by all means.

active is to complicated and should be more simplistic

the active has 3 different variants- one of which will appear the second you fight an opponent.

instead of the % increased damage on the next attack he should maybe get a stun for 1 second

that seems kind of weak, and it doesnt fit the champion thematically. he thrives in fighting, I doubt he would want to stun an opponent. also, I REALLY dont like the idea of an assassin with hard CC.

making the active instead immediately reflect the attack for 0.5 seconds also have a greater reward for timing it right instead of being invincible for an assassin

Initially I wanted that, but .5 seconds is too unrealistic. also that's Sivir E with a -1.5 second margin for error in comparison. I then thought of a Yasuo Style wind-wall, but that didnt sit well with me either, so i took inspiration from SAO. How many times have you seen a Samurai in the Movies deflect or cut bullets and parry with their swords in badass ways. It was the best thematic compromise i could come up with, while it's also incredibly flashy.

R: the seems like a good one but maybe he half the distance witch would allow him to go for a dash stun (as i said for the change) then for the perfect combo have his Q do something else.

again not too keen on the idea of giving an assassin a stun. I think the biggest counter play in and of itself is being able to react when an assassin is on you.

Ever see a Swordsman do something like this? http://24.media.tumblr.com/ccc27253ded23d756f8594dddcd3c25a/tumblr_mezku9TRcS1qc7dbso1_500.gif

i really enjoy his lore, i love it when 2 champions are connected in weird ways

So you want his passive to be a much stronger version of Eve's old passive from her ult that was already a issue. Seriously? Also you can't say CC is his biggest counter and consider that makes his kit balanced it doesn't. However Riot won't make this champion if you revamp so, yeah.
