Champion Concept - Funesta Terra
"Some people just want to watch the world burn, others want to light the fire." It's been a while since I uploaded a concept- I decided to stretch my brain a bit and make a concept- it's good exercise for the mind. It's up for grabs if anyone wants it, be it Riot or someone who just likes the idea and wants to use it for something else.
The concept is that of a mage that gains power and risk from staying in the same place and using magic. Perhaps she poisons the world around her- perhaps she drains the energy from the world to fuel her powers- perhaps she is simply so powerful that the area around her is destroyed as she fights. All of these are possibilities- although I like the idea (the concept is named around this idea) of her tainting the earth around her as she battles.
Innate: Tainted Earth Every time Funesta casts a spell she 'Taints' the ground where she is standing; so long as she stands on the Tainted Earth she will be granted buffs to her abilities. Subsequent spells will increase the area the Taint covers so long as she is still on the Tainted Earth when she casts the spell. The Tainted Earth will disappear after a few seconds of not casting spells on it; causing the ability to go on a short cooldown. Casting a spell while not on the Tainted Earth will not cause the patch to expand. The maximum area of Tainted Earth will increase per level, I envision it at max level being larger than an Amumu ultimate.
Q: Magic Circle Funesta briefly channels before firing a beam of magic in a linear skillshot from her location. Tainted Bonus - The beam leaves behind an AoE that slows all enemies for a few seconds.
W: Inner Power Funesta surges with energy, knocking back all foes near her. Tainted Bonus - Enemies will be stunned if they begin and end their knockback on Tainted Earth.
E: Rising Fury Funesta gestures and the targeted unit is struck with a blast of energy. Tainted Bonus - 50% of the damage is spread in an AoE around the targeted enemy.
R: Unleashed Wrath Releases a blast of energy in the maximum area of Tainted Earth Funesta's level allows. The wave will damage enemies- and if they remain on the Tainted Earth for too long afterwords they'll be knocked into the air. Tainted Bonus - Enemies will take damage for every half second they stand on Tainted Earth so long as Funesta is on it as well.
A simple concept; just felt like working the old noggin a bit. Lorewise she would probably be a neutral party- certainly human and not a Void or a Yordle champion. By 'Neutral" I mean I doubt she would be Demacian, Noxian, Piltover or Zaun-based. She would likely be an enemy to Ionia though, she stands for corruption and destruction of nature- the opposite of the values people like Karma hold dear.
