So this is my first design of many champions that I have thought of. Its the summer holidays for me so now I have plenty of free time to come up with designs for new champions. The Majority of you guys here on the forums have fantastic designs and concepts that I love to look at and you've inspired me to show some of my own. However, unlike you guys with your super art skills, I prefer to doodle my concepts as I don't have the tech and programs for good artwork. Without further ado, here is my first design on this forum.

Arψbo, The Visitor

Preface (and Basic Lore): For this champion, I wanted to create a character not of Valoran origin. It sucks cause we already have Bard who is close to that. However, this champion doesn't even come from Earth (or whatever planet Valoran is on). Thus this champion has the simple Alien thematic and tropes. Alien from another world blah blah crashing on Valoran blah blah experimented on by Piltie scientists, escapes and whatnot.

Naming: Arψbo is pronounced "Are-Sigh-Bow" which sounds like the word Arecibo which is the name of the Arecibo Message which was broadcasted into space with information about earth such as DNA elements and our number system. the greek letter ψ 'Psi' helps with pronunciation as well as to provide an oddity in the name to make it different from human names. The name is what is translated by piltover scientists through looking at the alien's writing and language

Role: I decided to make him an ADC as he uses his alien gun (picture) called the Tektite Blaster. However, he is an ADC that can take care of himself most of the time (to balance this I will explain below) without support. This is because his kit revolves around keeping enemies out of play to lock-down or avoid annoyances.

Quotes: (he can speak simple english basically with static interference with a piltover translator. Just think of the translation like Google translate with its word-by-word translation)

Champion Select: "Log Mission Begin Analysis"

Joke: Make ALL the Alien references

  1. He looks at a floating panel data screen then tampers with his center piece button where the translator is and causes a short fuse and then says "The Repair (while looking at the screen), Failed it has (full animation)"
  • Yoda reference
  1. Same animation but says "Insufficient facts, (short fuse) danger caused" - A Spock reference to the quote "Insufficient facts always invite danger" - Star Trek, season 1, episode 24 (“Space Seed,” 1968)

Taunt:

  1. Load his gun with tektite ammo and raises the gun up saying "Prepare for Complete Analysis"
  2. same animation saying "I Shoot First" - reference to the Han Solo and Greedo controversy

Movement:

  1. "Not angry, just hurt." - Marvin the Martian "I'm not angry, just terribly hurt". as if he's speaking to the piltover scientists

(Still requires more ideas)

Special Quotes:

  1. Meeting Enemy Soraka/Bard: "From Out There?"
  2. Meeting Enemy Heimerdinger/Ziggs: "Leave me be!"
  3. Buying Statikk Shiv: "Conduction Equipment Utilized"
  4. Recall: "Initiate Log: Repeat Analysis"

(More Quotes await your input guys)

Details: Attack Power:------■■■■■■■■□□ Defense Power:--■■■■■□□□□□ Ability Power:------■■■□□□□□□□ Difficulty:--------------■■■■■■□□□□

Uses HP and Mana

Attributes: Primary: Marksman; Secondary: Support

Ikr, ADC and can support due to his kit

Stats: I'm not a supreme numbers man so I avoid applying numbers to damage, ranges and stats. You can decide them if you guys want to.

Abilities:

**Passive Ability ** Extraterrestrial Analytic Equipment: All of the tech that Arecibo managed to take back from the scientists adapt and analyse to the new surroundings of Valoran and collect data to become stronger after a period of time. Thus Skills and Auto attacks are Amplified with added effects or more damage when not used after a period of time. activates for skills only when off cool down.

Active abilities

Q - Cerebral Scatter

  • Apply an effect to one auto-attack where the target shot (Champion) will attack their nearest teammate (like around for 2 secs)
  • With Passive - the Amplified version makes the Enemy effected apply a slow to the teammate he/she/it attacks

W - Oort Field

  • Throws a disc/mine/frisbee thingy that lands and remains there until stepped on. (2 max on field, no charges)
  • Steeping on it creates a circular wall for about one second trapping the enemy in it (like Jarvans Ult)
  • Amplified version causes a knockup effect inside field for about 1 second

E - Kuiper Augmentation Belt

  • Levitates Arecibo's character model
  • Also gives increased attack and attack speed
  • Amplified version allows him to travel over floor Area of effects like Morgana's W
  • To balance this, after active is done, tech malfunctions causing him to hit the ground and be rooted for brief moment of time
  • And his Defence and Magic resist falls for the after effect

R - Fourth Kind Encounter

  • After a delay creates a beam of light AoE (like an alien ship tractor beam)
  • enemies in it are suppressed and removed from map for a brief moment of time (like Elise Rappel)
  • they are returned (in another light beam) in the same location they were abducted
  • Amplified version give the AoE a ring around in that acts as a vacuum sucking up enemies into the beam of light
  • The light beam doesn't last long so it can be wasted in an instant

Good against and Counters

  • I don't know yet

SO guys, what do you think? I will post more ideas I came up with at later dates

My older brother used to draw comics and cartoons. The VERY moment I saw that rough sketch featuring boxes and messy notes made by the owner, I knew this was gonna have that weird kind of reserved love put into it that plot-writing sketchers are notorious for.

I like this concept. The q and ult, in particular, really allow 'psi to dish out some serious control and disorientation effects without seeming all that anti-fun.

Meanwhile, the E introduces its own special "I can dodge stuff below a certain axis!" code, which gives psi his unique charm.

I like it. I also like repeating myself.

If you have any other images, I'm currently looking into redrawing your first image with color and shading. I'm not promising the best work in the world but I do like your champion and its concept, so I'll do what I can.
