Theoretical Kit - Arm Bro (from Ekko trailer)
With so many people in support of seeing that massive arm on the rift, and at the same time so many people complaining that he would be too much like Vi. I just want to give a shot at making a champion that would be cool to play in my opinion. Also, I suck with ability names so I'm not giving any.
Passive: Instances of damage from champions and monsters grant a short duration stacking movement speed buff. Once at max stacks the buff duration is extended and his abilities are enhanced, during which time new damage instances will not extend the buff. Must cool down before the passive can be activated again.
Q: Arm Bro smashes the ground with his fist, damaging near by enemies and granting max passive stacks. This buff will occur even during the passive cool down time.
Enhanced: Enemies hit are briefly stunned, but the passive is not refreshed.
W: Arm Bro charges a fixed distance using his arm as a battering ram to shield himself. Damages enemies as he passes through them granting a small bonus to his shield for each champion hit. Can't use to leap walls.
Enhanced: The speed of the charge is greatly increased, distance remains the same.
E: Arm Bro punches the opponent with such force that they are knocked back and slowed.
Enhanced: Arm Bro swipes his arm in front of him, knocking everyone in a 180 degree arc back, with his primary target taking execution damage.
R: Arm Bro grabs an enemy with his fist and crushes them for one second before throwing them in the direction specified by pressing R again. If no direction is given they are thrown straight up instead. (Can be interrupted)
I feel a kit like this has both counterplay options in lane while also giving him protection. The enemy can poke and manage his stacks so he is never able to get the stun on his Q off, while at the same time has to worry about an all in where he might Q the ground to get a good positioning advantage with W into a knock back towards the turret.
Teamfights he can either peel by absorbing skillshots for his carry and then using his empowered Q/E, or he can attempt to initiate with Q ground >W > E/R.
Tbh I want this champ now :(
