Darth Vader, The Imperial Conqueror {CWC Champion Concept}
Darth Vader, The Imperial Conqueror
This is my entry for the Civil War Contest and for my crossover character I decided the one character that I'd be most excited to ever see make an appearance in League is Darth Vader. Darth Vader has made appearances in other universes and each time he was always one of the greatest aspects of said crossover. This is partially why Darth Vader is among the best villains of all fiction ever created, and why he'd only make great entry to League's champion pool if done the character justice.
_With my concept, I wanted to fully express what Vader's appearance should mean to mostly everyone in the game (both the champion and the player). One should feel absolutely distraught over the fact they are facing Darth Vader himself and the slightest sign of weakness will lead to their demise. I really tried to craft what Vader's theme should be and how it should be displayed in game: a ruthless Sith Lord with mastery over the Force, in order to make him among the most unique champions in the game. I hope you enjoy reading my concept and any and all constructive criticism is welcomed and appreciated. _

Lore
"In time, you will know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail all the same. You cannot hope to possibly stop me, and even though you will fight valiantly you will fall like everyone before you. Dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives." - Darth Vader, The Imperial Conqueror
Darth Vader is an immensely powerful Sith Lord and apprentice to Emperor Palpatine, acting as the Galactic Empire's inexorable weapon. Sent by the Emperor himself on a highly secretive and dire mission to obtain the World Runes, objects of immense magical power, with the intent to completely eradicate all who dare to continue to resist The Empire's sovereignty, Darth Vader will not hesitate to fulfill his master's wishes on any and all who stand in his way. Wielding upmost control over the Force - a metaphysical energy field that encompasses the universe, and mastery of Djem So lightsaber combat, Darth Vader is among the most indomitable and cunning warlords to ever appear on Runeterra.
Design Philosophy
Darth Vader appearing in a battle should mean one thing for his adversaries, terror. Those that dare oppose him should be horrified of the fate that is coming to them, and Darth Vader should show efficiency and mastery whilst massacring his opponents. The idea to Darth Vader was to craft a relatively immobile duelist that can inflict devastating damage when in range of his opponents and also having the tools to keep them within range. Darth Vader doesn't run to his opponents, they run from him because they know once he eventually catches them their demise is all but guaranteed.
In order to bring Darth Vader to life i focused on aspects that would make him adept at dueling his opponents while also maintaining the tools to fend off their retaliation. When playing Darth Vader one should feel like they're invading a universe completely foreign from their own, unleashing swift death on any and all in the path.

Additionally, Darth Vader's first two basic attacks will also restore 15 Force and deal bonus physical damage. This effect can only trigger once every few seconds, but basic attacks against enemy champions and large/epic monsters reduce the cool down by 1 second. _

Playing As Darth Vader
As Darth Vader, you're a Force wielding cyborg that obliterates any who dare challenge you. Use Saber Savagery to begin the onslaught, utilizing Djem So in between casts to take advantage of your increased attack speed and to easily fend off attacks from your opponents. If faraway foes attempt to rally against you, Force Reprisal will fend off the worst of their assault as you slowly make your way to their location. After effortlessly blocking your opponents assault, use Telekinetic Hurl to draw them more into the blood bath.
Once you find the perfect victim to unleash your fury upon, cut their life strings with Ferocity Of The Force, causing nearby enemies to flee in fear at the sight of the massacre. Continue to unleash havoc upon those transfixed in horror with another Saber Savagery sequence.
