Stephenizgod·8/26/2014, 3:09:42 AM·1 votes·704 views

So this is just me reposting her, last time i posted this it got quite a bit of downvotes, which discouraged me so i deleted her, but now it doesn't really matter :D I have changed a few things about her to fit my current standards of "balanced" and a few others things as well. Anyways if you like the concept and would like to check out some of my other concepts, you can find them all here.

#Introduction & Appearance

Dorandra (Pronounced Doe-Rond -Rah) is a female fighter, who uses odd crescent blades that curve over her fists and the same on the bottom of her feet, which she made herself. Her primary role is fighter, her secondary is assassin. Her lanes would most likely be Top or Mid. Dorandra is a straight brawler meant to unleash powerful combos to rip her enemies to shreds. She is very agile in her abilities capable of moving around her opponents very quickly.

Dorandra wears an odd helmet that covers her eyes and nose, bends back over her head in a crescent shape. On her neck is a metal necklace that wraps around a few times and connects to her chest piece which only covers her breasts leaving her stomach exposed. She wears armored shorts that stop a few inches above her knees, on her shins she has metal guards as well as on her forearms. She is barefooted and on her feet is an odd curved blade that extends an inch infront of her toes then curves under her feet and 3 inches past her heels, she uses them as shoes and weapons. In her hands she carries dual curved blades which curve similar to her feet blades except much larger.

Primary Role: Fighter

#Lore

Dorandra was an orphan in the slums of Noxus, considered weak and worthless all her life, nothing came easy. She fought to survive everyday to survive in a place that hated those who were weak. The more she fought the more she learned, the more she learned the better she fought. Most of her foes never saw what hit them until it was too late, and so earned the nickname Blink of Death due to her ability to slay foes in the blink of an eye. Soon it was widely known not to enter Dorandra's territory carelessly, unless you wanted a quick death.

It was because of these rumors she was scouted by none-other than Darius the Hand of Noxus. He and his brother Draven decided to pick up some new talent and had heard of the rumors of the Blink of Death. After some inquiring they learned exactly which sections belonged to Dorandra and without hesitation walked in. The moment they stepped in, she was on them going for the instant kill, but unlike her previous prey these two were well trained. Her ambush easily thwarted she decided it was safer to back off and play it a little safer. Draven, wanting to hog all the attention, asked his brother to stand back and let him take care of it. Darius didn't feel like arguing with his egotistical younger brother and agreed to leave it to Draven.

Draven wasted no time attacking, he immediately released a spinning axe at Dorandra's head. Her infamous speed showing itself, she easily dodged only to find herself facing another flying axe. Their battle went on like this for several hours, Draven throwing axes and Dorandra dodging then counterattacking. Dravens' overconfident and joyous smile soon turned into a very concentrated frown, he was still enjoying himself but he knew one mistake would cost him the fight. Even though she was skilled it became painfully obvious she was no match for Draven and soon the fight was over with his axe at her throat.

Darius, seeing the resemblance in her childhood and his own, decided that she passed and was worthy of the Noxian army. After hearing this Draven spoke up and asked for him to be the one who trained Dorandra, for he also saw the parallels in their childhood. Darius again not wanting to argue with Draven, agreed. After a few weeks of training Dorandra decided to model her fighting style after Draven's spinning axes, whom she had come to idolized much to his delight. She designed four blades to go over her feet and hands, wanting to keep her original brawling style of using all four limbs. Thus the Blink of Death's infamy was spread throughout Noxus and Demacia.

#Abilities

#Passive - Spinning Blades

After three basic attacks Dorandra's next basic attack will cause her to spin on one foot extending the rest outwards hitting everything around her for 150% of her AD.

#Q - Spinning Blades - 60/65/70/75/80 mana - 10/9/8/7/6 seconds

Dorandra jumps into the air and spins vertically towards target location hitting everything on the way.

Deals 50/80/110/140/160 (+70% of her AD) as physcial damage to anything hit on the way.

#W - Blink Slash - 55/60/65/70/75 mana - 12/11/10/9/8 seconds

Dorandra uses her quickness to dash to enemy target and punches them with both her fists. If they are an enemy champion she will dash behind them. If Thrill of Blood is activated before dashing Blink Slash will knock them forward.

deals 70/110/150/190/230 (+80% of her AD) as physical damage.

#E - Thrill of Blood - 65 mana - 10 seconds

Dorandra charges her blades giving her next basic attack bonus damage and marking them with Bloodied, also increases her movement speed by 10% which decays over 3 seconds. Any basic attacks against Bloodied target will reduce her cooldowns by 2 seconds.

increases the next basic attack by 55/70/95/120/145 (50% of her AD) physical damage.

#R - Flurry of Death - 90/100/110 mana - 140/130/120 seconds

Dorandra releases her inner brawler increasing her attack damage and attacking each enemy with all four of her weapons at the same speed of her normal basic attacks, becoming a flurry of blades.

gains a bonus 20/30/40% of her AD and will attack each target four times, each consecutive hit deals 30/20/10% reduced damage.

#Explanations

Not sure how complicated she seems or whatnot but lets just go through all her abilities here.

Her passive is like Tiamat and does increased damage. It will activate after her third basic attack on her fourth basic attack.

Her Q needs a bit of explaining just to make clear what it looks like. She jumps into the air and front flips really quickly multiple times with her feet and hands extended outwards cutting everything she passes through. She will land where ever you target and hits everything on the way as long as they are in her path, so if a champion is running from you and you spin at them they will take damage the whole time they run from you depending on their movement speed.

The W is a dash attack, if they are an enemy champion she will dash behind them. Activating E before dashing at enemy champion will cause them to be knocked forward a short distance. Then you can follow up with Q :D

Her E is simply a basic attack reset that also reduces cooldowns to reward you for continuing to be aggressive which is what her concept relies on. It also has synergy with her W with the knock back.

Her R is similar to Rivens i guess but without the Wind Slash. Basically all her basic attacks become four attacks, only the first hit will activate on-hit effects though.

I'll be direct and say this Champion needs some work.

I'm commenting on this because I actually do like what I'm assuming you're going for. The appearance of this sounds really cool; a sleek assassin that hones her own body like a weapon. I can see some one like this rushing around the battlefield like Kha'Zix or Master Yi, picking off single targets quickly. However, a Champion designer not only needs to make their concept interesting to play as, but possible to play against. As your concept stands, you have a Champion with two gap-closers, a movement speed steroid, and two ways of basically instantly amplifying her damage. Combine this with items like Phantom Dancer or Trinity Force, things that only amplify her mobility in combat, and that's already a commonly frustrating thing for many people to play against. If you were playing against this guy, how would you feel about someone that has so many ways of getting to you and killing you before you can even press a button?

Let's look at some existing Champions that are similar to this concept. Nidalee is hard to catch as it is, but even then she only has one gap-closer, it's just on a short cooldown. Same with Yasuo, though his limitations are he can only use it on enemies and not on the same enemies twice. Fizz and Hecarim for example have two gap-closers, the most really any Champion should have. Fizz though requires one to have an enemy within range. Hecarim has a movement speed steroid, which can be responded to with a movement-impairing effect, and another that's on his ultimate. Look at any Champion that can be considered "mobile" and they all have some sort of limitation. Most only have one mobility enhancement with some sort of limitation on how they can use it, whether it's because it's their ultimate, have long cooldowns, can be negated, require a specific type of condition to use it in, etc.
