Thresh might be pretty badass with that sickle and chain of his, but I feel League is in need of a real whip user. Beyond that, I'd love to see a Champion whose background revolves around slavery. Specifically, this Champion would be the slaver.

I'm presently in the brainstorming phase for this Champion, so I'm asking for some ideas. But I'm not empty-handed when it comes to this; I've got a name, rough background, and general design direction for this Champion. (Note that these are all subject to change.)

#Kanto, the Overseer

General Design

Kanto is a short-ranged marksman (350-400 attack range) that classifies more as a fighter or semi-support. He isn't the greatest damage-dealer, but what he excels at is being in a "command role", calling the shots and giving his team advantages that will lead them to victory. He is at his strongest in 5v5 team fights, but weak when isolated and alone or in 1v1 duels.

In terms of aesthetics, Kanto is a Darkin like Aatrox, but is much more of a hulking brute than the Darkin Blade. His main weapon is a nasty whip that he uses to lash slaves into submission. As would befit a demonic slavemaster, he'd be wearing armor designed for fear factor, making him all the more imposing. Nothing is sacred to him when it comes to breaking his victims: rape, sacrilege, genocide, torture, you name it. Decency is pretty much a foreign concept to him. He is also contemptuous of the weak, often just killing them rather than trying to enslave them. He is only interested in enslaving strong-willed or powerful individuals.

#Abilities

(in development)

P - Lord and Master

Kanto gains bonus armor and magic resistance for every nearby allied Champion.

Additionally, Kanto deals 10% bonus damage against enemy Champions who have a lower health percentage than him.

Q - Tyrannical Lash

Kanto's next basic attack deals bonus damage and amplifies damage dealt to the victim by allied Champions for X seconds. Resets attack timer, applies on-hit effects.

W - (need ideas)

E - (need ideas)

R - (need ideas)

Background

One of the last of the Darkin, Kanto is a brutal and cunning slavemaster who has made great leaders and kings kneel in submission before him. But he does not pick simply anyone to be his slaves; he only seeks powerful enemies to break, turning them into thralls who would not dare disobey or disappoint him.

Anybody want to pitch in?

A slavemaster "support" who whips his ADC to FIGHT HARDER sounds pretty fun. Like a reverse Kalista who forms a master bond with his adc? Anyone?

I think you have a nice concept here. Many people just try to make a whip-champion,whose defining trait would be a whip,but I'd say a simple whip user isn't enough(since once they'd add someone else with a whip,the simple whip user would become redundant),so I really like it that you'd also give him something else to work with(the whole slave master thing).

Overall I have to say that when you mentioned how he can also play a supportive role,I had to think that a slave master would actually fit kinda well as some sort of AD-support(he could probably still be played as an adc though).

I'd say his abilities should be about around dominance,maybe he could deal bonus damage if he has more health than his enemy(measured in percent),maybe he could whip his allies to raise their stats(but I dunno if this should hurt them,I doubt riot wants to add this mechanic to the game). His ult could potentially have to do with enslaving an enemy somehow?(Or calling upon a slave?) I dunno....

I think the concept has great potential though;)

He is at his strongest in 5v5 team fights, but weak when isolated and alone or in 1v1 duels. This makes him sound like a support than anything else.

I think the skillset should revolve around damaging allies to give them buffs. It would match his themes and be unique. The health cost would be pretty major early game (with close to no lifesteal on ADC), but pretty negligible late game. This also matches the theme of "training the slave."
