Max, the Lost Apprentice

Lore

When asked about his past, Max answered he'd only talk to his therapist about those kinds of things. When asked about his studies, he gave an annoyed groan. When asked about how he got into the League, he smiled and said "I know a guy".

Update

17-08-2014 I took PolarBearPrice's advice and tweaked the ultimate and E Added "Passive: Max gains extra range" to Max's W Changed Passive Out There: "Max gains 4 extra range per level" to "Max gains mana whenever he spots an enemy in brush"

Very interesting,

A few things:

1. When Max uses Frustration, is the missing mana portion based off of his mana before he uses the ability, or after? I really like the idea of doing damage based off of how much mana you lack, as opposed to the maximum amount you have.

2. Does Check it Out, Dude have any use regarding walls next to him, or is it limited to brush? Also, I assume it's a buff that he applies to himself and not a channeled spell?

3. Not sure if this is just me, but I think the whole targeted silence thing won't work. Riot has been showing a pattern or removing those (i.e. Kassadin Leblanc Talon ). I assume champions like Malzahar and Fiddlesticks got to keep theirs(for now possibly) because there's room for error, such as Call of the Void can be dodged entirely or Dark Wind could hit nothing but minions if you're really unlucky. You may have to find another use for Crazy Idea. Also, even if it was allowed, a 3 second silence is incredibly powerful even without it doing no damage. Then to be able to be silenced again for 5? Imagine being unable to cast spells for a full 8 seconds. A lot can happen in that time. I do like that you added that he silences himself for 3 so that it wouldn't have too much power.

4. I really like the concept for this, but something has to be changed about it. The mana cost is on point, but the cooldown definitely is not. A 22 second cooldown for any ultimate that isn't a mode or stance change or a toggle ability is a bit much. Also the death defying duration might need to be something more like 3/5/7; with a 6 second duration at rank 1 he already beats out Tryndamere 's ult by 1 second. You should probably lower the percent of damage dealt back as well, as 60% at rank 1 might be a little terrifying once he hits 6. 40/50/60% damage dealt back could work a little better.

5. Regarding Out There, is Max a ranged or melee champion? What is his starting attack range? Am I correct in assuming this is Tristana 's passive but on a much lesser scale? That's 72 extra range at lvl 18, correct?

and finally 6. I wanna know more about this guy. Got anything else planned for his lore? :P Where is he from? And is he acquainted with any other champs from the League?

I think this champion has a lot of potential. Please let me know if you have anything in store for him.
