New Stealth Assassin Concept, Ferro, The Forest's Protector

Insquidious·7/1/2015, 4:06:27 PM·11 votes·3,093 views

So, I was thinking this champion would be played likeKhazix , or Rengar as he would dive in for a kill and then get out, with movement speed buffs and stealth. Anyways, I have a crude concept that could be improved by fellow summoners or even perhaps a Rioter -- but I don't think it is that good. Here it is:

                                                                               Ferro , The Forest's Protector

      Passive :Forest Stalking : Every third spell grants a 1.5 second stealth and a 20% movement speed buff that decays over 3 seconds. This
                       will proc after the spell completes. 
    
      Q Ability:Execute : Ferro teleports behind  target enemy, dealing (x%AD)+x+(5%+(AD scaling percentage) of missing health). Killing an enemy         
                                Champion with this ability Procs Forest Stalking. Enemy Champions able to be killed by this ability will be marked.
                                  CD: 8/7/6/5/4 Mana 30(range of ![Fizz](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Fizz.png)'s Q but travels much faster, quite 
                                   like an![Ekko](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Ekko.png)  E.)

      W Ability: Ent Energy : Charges blades with Forest energy and next autoattack deals x +(x%AD)+(x+%AP) physical damage
                                   and stuns the target for 1 second( resets autoattack timer)(applies on-hit effects).CD 10/9/8/7/6 Mana: 40/45/50/55/60

      E Ability : Shadow Sprint : Passive: Gains 5/7/10%(at levels 6/11/16) movement speed when moving away from enemy 
                      champions, this bonus is doubled in stealth. Active: Triggers Forest Stalking and increases the duration to 2 seonds. ( this ability does 
                      not stack Forest Stalking) Enters stealth after up to 2 seconds if taking damage.  
                     CD: 16/15/14/13/12 Mana:60  

      R Ability :Ancient Wrath:In a cloud of smoke, Ferro disappears for .75 seconds( untargetable)
                  and then reappears at target location fearing enemies for 1 second all around him.
                    CD: 100/85/70 Mana: 100

                             For lore, it could go a little something like this:
                    Ferro, long ago, in the early years before war, stood proud in the forest, with no disruptions and peace all around. But then, one
                   day, (army) camped in his forest. They cut down ancient trees for shelter and firewood, while Ferro stood and watched, from afar. 
                    What could one man do against an army? So for years, he trained to fight, even long after the army had left, for if one day 
                    someone would happen to trod in the forest, he would be ready to confront them and protect his home. 
                             Eventually, a small (faction) army took shelter on the very edge of his mighty forest. The next morning, the army woke up to 
                   find a message had been written at the entrance to every tent. "Leave" it said. The General ordered them to stay, although some 
                  of the men were uneasy. The higher commanding officers were a little unsure also, but their General wasn't afraid of anything. 
                             The next dawn many soldiers were woken by shouts. The General had a slash through his neck, cleanly executed so he would 
                   make no sound whatsoever when killed next to him was a small leaf from the inner parts of the forest.
                             The men packed and left that very morning, shaken. 
                             Satisfied with his work, Ferro set traps along the edge of the forest to alert himself of other intruders and settled down 
                  in wait until one day, when he was asked to join the League of Legends...

i like the stun on the W, and it should reset his AA, that would rock for any ad champ. Maybe change his ult to what his E is currently because of his invulnerability/untargetability and reset capability. Still call the ult Ancient something or Forrest Blessing for badassery.

For his new E i'd say make it so that it gives him some more utility.

I love the champ concept, so i think new E should be something fitting like:

E: Shadow Sprint CD: 18/16/14/12/10 Mana Cost: 60 at all ranks

Passive: Ferro Passively gains movement speed (3%/5%/7%/10%) when fleeing from enemies. This effect is doubled if Ferro is in the jungle.

Active: When activated, Ferro immediately enters Forrest Stalking. Does not count towards the three spells needed to proc Forest Stalking.

(Ferro's E passive does not apply while this skill is on cooldown)

Just to clarify, the point of not letting the active amount towards Ferro's passive allows him to have two stacks, cast his E holding onto his stacks and entering stealth so that he may use an offensive spell to re-enter stealth. this allows the player to juggle the passive similar to Pantheon's Block, ultimately entering stealth twice in rapid succession.

His e seems like its not a great idea because its just activating passive. I think it will be better if his e's passive is slowing champion in the bush near him for 1sec and active could be creating bushes where he wants but have limit of numbet he can put

change his W to like something ranged or like a slow or something the auto stacking isnt good for bursty champs

Nyá7/1/2015, 4:32:09 PM1 votes

I think it's pretty cool but I do agree he would probably be played more like a bruiser due to needing to auto attack frequently, also His passive will probably make alot of people very angry, I suggest adding a cooldown to it, maybe 10 / 8 / 6 so that it gets better and dosnt fall off on the game, however with his CD's it might not actually be a problem, also maybe reduce the duration of the speed, still have it decay but increase it to maybe 50%, I feel like that would give him a more assassin feel.

I think his utlimate and W would need a little work to make him more of an bursty assassin.

I think he is very solid in concept but i have a few issues. First off his E seems very powerful by making him invulnerable. Untargetable is really great to have but giving him the ability to be mobile and invincible is very intense. I also think adding some form of passive to this after you remove the invulnerability would be great, something like bonus armor pen or magic pen.

Also perhaps you could add a bit more to his ult like granting bonus attack damage based on percentage. This would really help it scale into late game and give his ult a really powerful burst effect if used right. Also the bonus movement speed on his ult feels a bit wasted since it gives you his passive which already grants bonus movement speed. Maybe you could add a dash effect to this or a leap so he has increased mobility. Or just give his a passive stat boost.

If you wouldn't mid taking a look at my champion too I would appreciate it. Comments and bumps are always appreciated :)

Shaco has an ability which is the exact same as his E, except its his Q.

May want to fix that.

Love the concept and the abilities need a little tweak, but a good concept is a good concept.

Could you check out mine please?

I love the idea of forest assassin, good job on the concept, but I would make the passive something more like Passive - Forest stalking everytime ferro leaves a bush he is granted 1.5 secs of invisibility and 20 movement speed.

This allows ferro to be more mobile and gives him a lot more ganking and escape effectiveness

If you could check out my champion concept it would be much appreciated :) http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/EM6JXUnE-kyne-the-beast-trapper

The concept behind invisibility on every third spell cast is pretty genius, especially when you consider his basic assassination combo (e > w > q) will trigger his invisibility. Gating invisibility with two basic spells with decent cooldowns is also a good idea. I'd like to know what your thinking behind his ultimate was. His basic kit (PQWE) is very well thought out and would be pretty fun to play (though I can't wrap my head around the W a bit. Why the channel? Why the AP scaling?). What he needs most is a cool ultimate to tie it all together, but I can't see the thematic or gameplay purpose behind this. Also, on the subject of the W. Does it reset the autoattack timer immediately after he stuns? Is the channel a stationary or moving channel (like Vi Q)? Why does this scale with AP and do magic damage when the rest of his kit revolves around auto attacks and burst physical damage? Since his ult doesn't do any damage, that means the AD scaling on his Q would be insane in order to make him a decent assassin. Overall, my advice is to give the W an AD scaling and allow the ult to do physical damage, helping him with his burst, or replacing the ult altogether. The concept of rushing in, WQing a guy to death and rushing out is cool, but it currently lacks the damage and efficiency to make Ferro a decent assassin. Still, this is a really cool concept, and I'd love to see your finished product when it's done. Reviewer, away!summoner 4

Seems interesting, but giving 2,5 seconds of hard cc on a champion that has stealth isn't necessarily the best idea.

Also, he might have little counterplay pre-9 lvl, and could pretty much be destroyed by sweeper's upgrade.

Concept is really cool. Solid ideas for a champion, I'm wondering where he'd fit though. He'd actually fit perfectly in the Rift, if we actually knew where in Valoran the Rift was. Very enchanted forest-y.

So for the abilities, they're simple and sweet. Seems very skirmishy and hit and run. Hit with a spell, couple of AAs, use stealth to back up a bit, Hit with W, some AAs, W stealth to back up a bit, so on. Pink Wards will be a hard counter, though.

Passive is nice. Stealth+stun could be nice but considering what it costed to eve, I doubt we will see that ever again.

However, most of his active abilities lack uniqueness (an auto-reset, an execute, a MS boost, a modified Ekko ult...) and don't have much to do with forest anyways. He needs something that separates him from other stealth assassins (Shaco, Kha) a bit more.

Not ambitious enough. Deserves more craziness imo.

Mayor Stubbs7/1/2015, 4:11:59 PM1 votes

Seems cool although the kit doesn't seem to fit the original description of a "get in and burst then get out" type of champ. He seems more bruiser since a big part of his kit is about auto attack stacking.
