Johnny Bigplays, the Hexboard Daredevil
Johnny Bigplays is a well known name in Piltover. When hoverboard combat became a popular arena sport in town, he quickly rose to the top of the ranks, well known for his high flying tricks and gun slinging bravado. While his cocky attitude may put some would be fans off, he actually has a caring heart beneath his showy exterior and fights to keep the Piltover streets clean when not in the arena. He hates being knocked off his hoverboard and wears sunglasses to hide his manly (or not so manly) tears.
**Design: **
Think 90's neon colored street punk, open leather jacket, neon sunglasses, wild hair. His hover board would split into 2 weapons when dismounting. One half would be like a gauntlet / shield type thing on one arm that has the jet propulsion portion that he uses for his Q, and the other half would transform into something of a futuristic blaster / gun for his other hand that he would use for his auto attacks.
THE KIT!
Gotta Go Fast - Passive:
"Speed is my middle name! Well, actually, its Frederick. But Johnny Frederick Bigplays just doesn't have the same ring, now does it"
After not taking damage for five seconds and while moving, Johnny combines his weapons into a hoverboard and hops on, gaining movement speed gradually as he moves around the map. Clicking on an enemy causes Johnny to do a flying kick off the hoverboard, dismounting him and doing more damage the faster he was traveling.
Slows and disables will cause him to be dismounted from the board, in addition to taking 20% extra damage for 2 seconds. He also gains new abilities while riding.
"I... I was meant to fly! T_T "
**Q: Backfire: **
"I'm on FIRE"
Unmounted: Fires a blast from the jet portion of his hoverboard. Can be charged to fire a bigger blast that knocks back enemy units directly in front of Johnny.
Mounted: Fires a blast from the back of the hoverboard, damaging and slowing units behind him. When charged, the blast propels you to maximum hover speed instantly. Can move while charging.
**W: Dare Devil Maneuvers: **
*"Don't try this one at home, kids" *
Unmounted: Johnny strafes in target direction, firing 3 shots from the gun portion of his hoverboard at the nearest enemy unit. These apply on hit effects. Prioritizes enemy champions.
Mounted: Does a high flying flip on the hoverboard, becoming untargetable and ignoring terrain collision. Fires shots at enemy units nearby.
**E: Blitz Shield: **
"Can't touch this"
Creates a shield around Johnny for 3 seconds. While active, he is immune to slows. Cannot be used for 3 seconds when initially mounting the hoverboard.
**R: Johnny Rides Again: **
*"Johnny ALWAYS rides again!" *
Unmounted: Kicks off the nearest enemy's chest, knocking them back and sending Johnny flying back while mounting his hoverboard. Ignores the out of combat requirement of his passive.
(think Captain Falcon's up B in smash brothers, its the last move done in this video)

Mounted: Skids to a stop at target location, shooting out sparks that damage, blind and silence enemies in a cone. Dismounts Johnny from his hoverboard.
"Pardon my dust, kid"
**Playstyle: **
Extremely Squishy, he would rely on his mobility and shield to avoid taking damage, while playing a high speed "come in quick, get out fast" ganking playstyle. Best played in the jungle or mid to make use of his passive's mobility. Expert Johnny Bigplays players would make use of his W and E while mounted to avoid being knocked off of his hoverboard and suffering the defense penalty. Johnny players would also have to make a decision on how to use his ult. Do they save it to disengage while unmounted or do they use it for the flashy, big damage entrance to his ganks?
The hoverboard lacks much combat utility and auto attacking while mounted would cause him to dismount, so its more for mobility and getting around the map than actually fighting people.
