Xon (ex-on) the Inimical Soul (Fighter/ Assassin)

Lore

I was a great warrior, a leader, I swore to protect my people even if it cost me my life. But that means nothing now, I am to blame for my people's deaths. I stood before a creature I thought I would never face, and it almost cost me my soul. My people are gone, my brothers, my sisters, all of them. Their screams are burned into my memory forever, their pleas, their blames. I will set things right, Thresh will pay for what he has done. I will find a way to free my people from his grasp. I will free myself from this nightmare.

“I live and that will be his downfall.” -Xon (Allies with Lucian)

Big improvement from the original Idea. The lore was in much greater detail on the other, but this one is short, sweet, and seemingly straight to the point. I like how his ult's name is related to Thresh. He would be insane on max cool downs seeing that his spells have no cost. I'd love to see him in game.

If he had a teleport he'd be almost a remake of Talon. Lol. Bump Talon

Name and General Design: Xon does not pronounce as "Zee-on" in any language or stretch of imagination. "Zee-on" only comes from Xion, Xeon, Zion, and Zeon. Currently, his name would be pronounce "Zon" Inimical Soul is an alright title, it gives off a feel that he was born hostile, so I hope that's what you're going for. Appearance is great.

Lore: Far too short and vague, the Thresh name-drop seems totally out of nowhere. Also, at the end you misspelled his name as "Eon"

Abilities: Passive seems a bit weak, but it's relatively okay. Q, W, and E are pretty basic and don't have anything wrong with them. R is kinda of confusing and seems rather weak.

All in all, the character seems interesting, but the abilities are boring. I'd suggest changing his ult to make him change into "Beast" form and give him 4 new abilities, like Elise or Gnar

I like it. I think it's interesting Xon's Q is so magic/ap centered when nothing else really facilitates a magic damage build. Since his nemesis is Thresh who is CC and kite heavy, what do you think of changing Xon's ulti from a gap closer nuke to a steroid similar to Olaf's where he is immune to mobility cc (slows, roots, knock-ups/knock-backs, etc.) Could maybe even make it so every aa and landed spell gives him a move speed buff while his ult is on so he can chase and stick. Thoughts?

As much as people hate it, you're going to need something slightly more complex for a kit.

His passive is a nerfed fizz passive, the rest of his kit looks incredibly hard to balance. All of his abilities seem incredibly strong on their own. Ranged silence, AOE grevious wounds, % armor reduction, huge self buffing ult, with an added AOE. Adding in that he's resourceless.

In turn, he doesn't have sustain, and he has a unique lore. There's potential, just needs some more work.

I definitely agree he sounds strong, but at the same time, he has no real big damage spells besides his ult, and his E doesn't have an active--or even apply on every hit. I get the feeling that most of his fighting power is going to come from items. Hydra for sustain, Frozen Mallet and Black Cleaver for durability and sticking power, things like that. His kit has some interesting strengths, but they leave a lot of holes too. Definitely would take some strategy to succeed on this champ.

So, where would Xon's strength be? It seems he wants to be in auto attack range as long as possible since he doesn't have much else to fall back on. But considering that, how would he be able to stand up to a riven, darius, olaf, renekton, or sion? All of whom are melee champions, but I feel like could probably win most head on fights with equal gold and xp.

Yeah, he could definitely jungle now. If he came in at an angle from behind someone pushing, he could really put down some pain before they escaped. If the laner helped then they might not escape at all. If i'm not mistaken, you can silence some neutral mobs, and that would significantly improve his clear if you can.

Added in art for spell icons, sorry for the horrible hand writing lol

Bump ^^

This is a pretty neat idea. The fact that he escaped Thresh makes his lore quite unique. I would for sure play him :)

Bump ^^

It makes me sad I can only up vote it once... lol

Bump :D

I'll give him one last try.

Really cool but the AD scaling on the ult is insane! 350% AD? build 400 AD and you've 1400 damage + the base damage. Other than that it's great.

Seeing as how Kindred got the wolf, a spirit wolf thing, I highly doubt mine will get any attention XD

But it's still here, Riot, and I'm full of more ideas for champions. I just wish your art style was easier to draw.
